The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @PeppiPatty

Hi and welcome @LittleBuddha. Great that you can join us!

yummmm

Watermelon...........

CAn I serve some with mint leaves....

That sounds so refreshing.. perfect for Summer. Oh and the cicadas have just started singing. Squeee!

I was outside earlier today and it really smelled like Aussie Christmas time. I don't celebrate Christamas anymore, but the smell took me right back to childhood and Christmas at my Opa's farm. I miss Christmas beetles... never see them down here.

Hello @chookmojo...me and @PeppiPatty just got invited to her sons' place for christmas dinner...sounds great...I think it's good to be grateful for what we have especially in these times...

Hello

Lovely to see you all

Tried to bring food pic but computer on go-slow.

Very proud that I went to hairdresser today and when I realised my hands were clenched just gently released them.

Love that vegan cheesecake ... inspired to try to make it.

Welcome @LittleBuddha - so great to have you here. Good time to join - Friday Feast is the highlight of the week 🙂

Thanks @NikNik...I'm going to take it slowly at first...I will have more to offer later I'm sure.....

Hi @Appleblossom

Great that you too had a haircut. Mine needs redying (always a home job here). Good that you were able to be mindful of the tension in your hands there. I was a nail biter up until I was 34. These days I just fiddle the tips of my fingers together. Like you, I take a breath and gently release them when I notice it.

@Mazarita that sounds like a very tiring week! I know what you mean by the conversations playing over & over in your head like a broken record. I experience that too after social interaction. It is one of the things that keeps me up at night. Can you take it a bit easier next week? Or is it doable & rewarding for you? I feel exhausted reading about it.

It is a good thing for the sake of animals, the environment, your health & humanity to be vegan. I won't preach at you all though

@Crazy_Bug_Lady bills, bills, bills - no fun hey! At least you have lots of pasta in storage & can add some vegetables for nourishment!! For years now I only buy a few people xmas gifts & the people change every year! My partner doesn't want a gift as he says everything he wants & needs is too expensive. He was going to give me a gift - he asked me what I wanted, but now I don't know if I will get one - his mum got her electricity bill today - it is about $400 LESS than the last one, because a new water pump was put on the water tank. However, apparently she was complaining to Matt about it & how she has no money until the cattle dogs are ready to sell (after xmas) - so now Matt thinks we should give her $200. If we give her $200 & I have to pay my health insurance - we will NOT have money for a birthday present for her on the 27th & we will probably get low again. We got low last fortnight as my partner had to pay his car rego. Oh well - we will get through it!

Kind thoughts,

A
