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

Hey @lala2

I had a lemongrass that took over @Shaz51 in the end I had a lot of tea and took it out as I only have a small space and it got very messy. That was yonks ago. Recently I was given thai basil and put it in a pot to limit it, but that died while I was away. There's more if I "need" it. lol Most of my vegies survived my trip and my red cabbage is starting to head. Yay!

@Historylover

I am making activity plans which is good, not outsourcing it to "education", but figuring what can suit and be wholesome for me, as I am. Facing my limits. My lower back is a extra problem these days and I cannot sit on my bum long. The trip was a mixed bag as it covers an anniversary date, and try as I might, the early attachment traumas interfere as I felt hopeful about a friendship and overwhelmed and caught in a triangulation and rejected by third element if you understand that without me going into all the ins and outs.

One good 'social' thing was the comparison of group living from the orphanages and the reflection that I was staying in an elite boarding school. Similarities/Differences.

Music is a strength but requires sensitivity so it is usually bittersweet. However that keeps things real. I have new musical things to distract me and music is my "drug of choice". I do not want more meds than absolutely necessary.

I think you have a lot to unload from your trip and the current states of things in your life, @Appleblossom. It seems that it is something of a mixed bag, but overall good. I'm happy for you.

As for me, it seems that yesterday was a brief flash back to happier times. As I feared, it didn't last, but I'm glad to have had a short burst of happiness. I won't unload on you. I'm just pleased to see that good things are happening for you. Cheers @Appleblossom.

Glad for your good moment too, even tho it was fleeting. @Historylover It can help to build on it. Its hard to even imagine feeling half good without moments. Getting some balance between lighter and heavier stuff aint easy.

Cheers

@Shaz51 and @lala2 too

Hello @Appleblossom

Im interested, how did you make the lemongrass tree, did you just steep it in hot water?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Yep @lala2 an aunt told me. Now I do it with rosemary. Lemongrass is nicer.

Hi @lala2 , @Appleblossom , @Historylover

Yes put some lemongrass in a teaot , pour some hot water over it

The longer you leave it sit , the stronger it will be

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Appleblossom lemongrass probably has a fresher taste but i love the thought of Rosemary tea, I think Rosemary is my favourite herb. I will definitely be trying different herbal teas now. Ive had Lamon Myrtle tea from the bush, that was quite nice.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks @Shaz51 I thought that was how it was done. Thats the same method I used for my lemon myrtle tea.
