Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi everyone.

I just bought some of these Epidendrum (Crucifix) Orchids today, & potted them up.

I love Epidendrums - my last ones died out, several years ago.

Hi @MDT I hope you are well/ good.

I'm going out grocery shopping now.

Will try to party here, when I get back (if any energy left).

Hi @Shaz51 @MDT @Adge

Thank you for sharing this @eth I’ve been thinking all day about just checking out and your story has given me just a glimmer to stay.

I came to look at this Saturday Soirée in a last effort to change my mindset so here goes...

Thank you

💙🧡💙

Hi @eth I'm just back from shopping now.

@Shaz51is having 2 minute noodles (she said).

I'm having Hash Browns, then some Fried Rice - or Flied Lice, as Dad used to say.

Hi @Eve7 I'm relieved to hear you are having a glimmer of reasons to stick around. I'm concerned that you don't just mean checking out of the forums. Just tagging a @Former-Member here as they may have some helpful resource suggestions for you. It's really good that you are reaching out here, even if it's just a safe place to hang out for a while. Sometimes it's all about just getting through the next 10 minutes, baby steps, and finding something to focus on that will help pass the time. Being here can be that thing. Do you have any activities that you can do like adult colouring works for me at times, or having a hot bath with some aromas from essential oils or bath bombs, or even just stepping outside to see the glorious full moon tonight. Another thing that works for me is cooking - researching new recipes and giving them a try. Below is one of them.

@Adge @Shaz51 I'm about to have a bowl of soup left over from cooking from the clan a couple of nights ago. It's a good'un - leek, corn, carrot, coconut milk, miso broth and lemongrass (I use the one in the tube) served with a fresh coriander garnish - it's always a hit here. https://www.goodchefbadchef.com.au/our-recipe/carrot-sweetcorn-coconut-lemongrass-soup/ I don't puree it tho' just serve it chunky. You'll have to try it sometime.

Thanks @eth I have spoken to @Jynx

I am safe and spoken to pdoc.

I am so blessed to know you all on these forums.

Hi @Appleblossom spotted you there. How has your today been?

Your soup sounds really nice @eth I'm a sucker for anything with Coconut milk in it.

Plus the Leek & Corn, in fact everything in it sounds good.
