The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Shall I prepare (virtually) a burger for you @Jacques?

I make the mushroom burgers by:

- firstly sauteeing garlic, rosemary and chilli in a pan with some olive oil. I cook this on a low heat to fuse the oil with the flavours for about five minutes.

- The I add the mushrooms, face up first. When I do this I spoon some of the fused oil into the mushooms. Then I put a lid on the frypan and cook each side for about 3 - 5 minutes, until the mushrooms go soft.

- Then add the mushrooms to a bun with other condiments of your choice, and presto, you got yourself a mushroom burger.

Hey again..

Not you @Jacques... Hot yoga is when the room is heated to 32-35 degrees. It has more of a focus on being beneficial for burning fat - although I don't need that - even though my eating disorder demons tell me I do. It tends to be more fast paced. @CherryBomb DOMS is an acronym for delayed onset muscle soreness. It is good soreness - it means you worked hard, although I rarely get it - even when running a lot.

I'm going to be reducing my antipsychotic again soon & I'm very anxious about that... I may end up in hospital again... I'm really worried, but so tired of the side effects from being on psychotropic medication for 13 years... My psychiatrist is worried, but supportive... I now have a psychologist who does CBT for psychosis. I'm more anxious about being anxious... Withdrawals cause anxiety.

Your burger sounds yummy! We had a vegan burger for Australia Day. Tonight we are having vegetable dumplings from an Asian grocery with rice.

Namaste,

A

Hi everyone! Here's my virtual plate tonight, vegan especially for @Former-Member, so glad to see you on the forum again.

This is vegan hazelnut coffee icecream found in the .virtual kitchen. of the web. Don't ask me how to make it, there wasn't a recipe but it looks great to me.

Hi @Crazy_Bug_Lady, how are you tonight?

@Former-Member, thank goodness, i don't like upsetting people.

Oh, ok wow, that would make you sweat a lot, does that really work, i thought one burned more fat if it was colder? anyway sounds like it would be benificial to me, i could lose some weight 😄

Yes @Former-Member, Anorexia is such a horrible thing, my cousin had it, she was told she only had 3 weeks to live if she did not eat, they had to put her on a drip because her stomach had shrunk so much. she was so thin, but she felt so overweight.

Please be carful going off your meds, have you spoken to your doctor about this? i know what it is like with the side effects, my medication makes me into a zombie, but i know i need it to make mums life more comfortable and less stressful.

hugs @Former-Member, i am so proud of you comming back here 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Jacques. The gig is only half a day a week and is in one of their op shops so seems like a gentle way to ease myself back into structured activities in a public space. Thanks so much for your good wishes. 🙂
