Trying to stay consistent with cooking healthy meals at home is difficult now that Davis has returned to Orcas Island. I find myself struggling to fit in soup making and bread making with my work, social, and sleep schedule. But, with the right timing, things are starting to work out!
For example, yesterday I knew I had to make this lamb chili, and I had to do it that night. The beans had been soaking for 24 hours and the lamb sausage had defrosted in the fridge... everything was go. I went out for a drink with a friend around 8pm but ended up having such a good time talking, I didn't get home until 3 am. But, I had to make that chili. I was determined. So i chopped up everything, and set all of the ingredients to simmer, and went to bed. In the morning I woke up to an amazing aroma coming from my kitchen... now I have lunch for the rest of the week!
Bread has been working similarly... with the right timing, I can wake up early to bake a batch of bread before I have to leave for work.
It was much easier when I had a team-mate around to share cooking and cleaning duties!
