Anti-Nostalgic

The past few days, I took the time to cook some actually decent meals. I used to twice a day, but somehow that stopped when my schedule became chaotic. Now I am forcing myself to take the time again. I enjoy cooking and felt my health deteriorating shortly after I stopped doing it. (I am a food-combiner, so I have tons of veggies and bio stuff on my menu. Changing that to whatever is available at the next bakery so abruptly was idotic.) I have been searching for nice bread recipes, more specifically a recipe for hazelnut bread. My mum used to buy it for us as a special treat or, that’s what it felt like to me. Today, I tried one of the recipes found and I think it turned out delicious! It is different from how I know it (nuts in black bread), but I still like the outcome. However, next time (yes, there most defn. will be a next time!), I’ll gotta halve the ingredients - the bread I got is big enough to be three breads.

Also, my dinner turned out nicely, too. Okay, I have prepared this dish many times before… Isn’t it sad I am becoming one of those persons who photograph their meals and even post the pictures?! But I *do* enjoy cooking and I am so ridiculously happy, I took the time for it. (Note: the bread next to the zucchini/courgette is not the hazelnut bread.)

To make up for all the food stuff, here is another shot of my delicious, I mean sweet, eh… cute Kaori. She was incredulously watching me sinking my arms to the elbows into sticky dough.
