On food and books (what else?)

[selenay936]

Martin Sheen was on Desert Island Discs a couple of weeks ago. I finally got around to listening to it (don't normally listen to DID, but was told this one was great) and I have to say, he's a fascinating guy with some great music choices. If you can find it (because it's probably not on iPlayer anymore), I'd highly recommend it

om nom on the potatoes. Totally going to try those out. The cooking sounds fab. Unfortunately I can't eat much since the gastric bypass and I have to be very careful about what I eat too. I'm always looking for things I can eat that won't make me nauseous. Haven't found much so far, but I keep trying!

The kids aren't too adventurous, youngest especially, but she's only 12 so there's still time. Riv is allergic to pulses, but likes all other veg, most herbs and a bit of a kick to her food, and we all like garlic.

Cooking and baking are very therapeutic, I find. I really love doing it, even if I don't always eat much or any of what I've cooked :o)

I do miss reading though. Can't seem to find anything to really capture my imagination these days. It's so full of RL crap. I'm definitely going to find a biography of Edward III though. I do quite enjoy biographies.

All the best for a great book year!

I can't sympathise with the being careful on what you eat. I took myself out for lasagne today (instead of the burger) and found myself getting very stressed about how much I should eat and whether it would be a really stupid thing to do. At home I can cook just what I think that I'll manage and not worry too much about it

I just read all of Josephine Tey's books in the past few months (except Brat Farrar, which I need a copy of still), and they were AWESOMESAUCE. *nods firmly*

I definitely need to find the rest of her books :-)
