On The Importance of Food

 So I’m slowly getting back to my routine of compiling my grocery list for the week’s dinners—I’m back to NYT Cooking, and cautiously selecting new recipes that fingers crossed turn out OK (after some questionable selections weeks past). I plan to go to Kroger this morning and hopefully they have what I need. No more sausage and cream cheese for awhile. I’m finding writing is a little more difficult and my artistic ideas are not as free-flowing as they were before Christmas. I’m not sure what to attribute this change to, and it’s strange and I’m somewhat conflicted as to how I feel about it. I guess I just continue to take things One Day At A Time and see where my road less traveled takes me…

Tomorrow we go to the Arena to see the beleaguered Blue Jackets take on the Chicago Blackhawks. I’m excited because we got free tickets along with a tour of the Arena for this New Year’s Eve afternoon game. They are giving out free calendars (which I desperately need) so even if we lose, I have a memento from my beloved team to use throughout 2023. I’m also excited to get my chicken fingers with ranch and Dr. Pepper. Who says Arena food is bad?

Then tomorrow night the underdog Buckeyes meet Battlestar Georgia in the College Football Playoffs game. I’m serving Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs, really a good NYT recipe if I recall correctly. New Year’s Day I’ll be preparing a Denver omelette for brunch then a glorious pot roast with a sumptuous rib eye roast Michael got on sale at the south end Kroger. So that’s the line up for the next few days.

I’ll continue with my writing and plan to let Dr. Levy know on Wednesday how pleased I am that cognitively I am doing so much better than the past two decades. Also my anxiety is so much better, with the only exception being the highway driving. OK that’s it for today. Off I go to the grocery!
