Chip no chip

I have quit chips for a while .
Can you believe it?
The one indulgence that I absolutely couldn't keep control of, my vice that is kettle cooked chips or any potato chips especially plain salted and black pepper are now temporarily out of my life.
Maybe for a few months until I feel like eating them back again and that's because last week my gluttony got the better of me in that I ate two whole bags within 24 hours .
It was like getting the munchies without the preliminary good stuff and I abhorred it.
My face was swollen the next day because of high sodium yet my heart was content.
What was I becoming?
The next day I ate another bag and my tongue felt the heat from the highly processed sodium and sharp edges of thickly cut chips because it developed a mild rash of sorts and I loathed it and so now even though my pantry nurses a large packet of my favourite chips I shan't eat it.
Oh no sir.
Not me.
I mean it's a game of will and if I begin caving in I'll do exactly what I did to my cigarettes that is open the packet and hold it under a tap of running water.

Yikes

My neighbours slam their door so hard it shakes the very foundation of this building.
If goes wham!!! And I can feel it reverberating through my table legs .

To the coffee

How long I wondered would I keep buying coffee filters for a lovely pour over and so I thought of giving this stainless steel drip coffee pourer a try wherein you needn't put at coffee filters whatsoever and today was day 1 and may I just say it wasn't as bad .
Was it better than the one with filter paper?
I couldn't say for sure unless I give it a couple more tries.
But at the end of the day it was pretty hassle free because unlike paper filter one need not drench it with hot water first and I do it twice to get rid of the paper smell and help the filter paper get steaming hot to receive coffee which helps it bloom better (I think so).
In this case of stainless steel filter I simple pour over.

Cake pic

The cake in question that I shall eat with coffee.
It's a coconut cake with coconut flakes and lemon zest which I'll soon put up on the blog. The recipe not that lemon zest that is.

Oh come on

No surprises once again except I did get surprised with myself because I was about to make myself a delicious ham and bacon sandwich but somehow ended up chopping vegetables and marinating tofu instead.
Something is wrong with my brain. It went in an auto wellness mode and it was after I'd finished chopping everything that I realised my culinary faux pas but too late to ignore and sizzle bacon and so I boiled my last bunch of buckwheat noodles and made a spicy sesame sauce with bird eyes chilies and threw in all the vegetables and tofu because what else was I to do?
It came out flawless, delicious and most certainly not what I wanted to eat.
I was in total gluten eating mood only to get thwarted by my head.
Tonight I shall rectify everything.

Am I lazy enough to structure a boring workout today?
Yes indeed I am.

Squat jumps, lunges and burpees not included and will be included in burnout round.
How exciting.

Extreme sport that is life

To say that I hit the bed the last night and was immediately in a sleep induced coma would not be an exaggeration because that is exactly what happened.
No cats on bed no books in hand, my phone forgotten and my sleep uninterrupted.
A giant refreshed I woke up knowing it's Friday, thanking collective gods of the weekend and getting on with the morning drill only to resurface and say a mild phew while sipping on water and contemplating tea before diving anchorless into the humdrum that is today, trying to make most of it .
Let's see, there's work out then lunch, in between all of that or after rather I've to click pics of the cake from yesterday because I lost light for the blog and it's also a recipe day today so I'm making almond butter and that needs clicking pics after which I'll get on with making pizza dough cuz today is pizza night and of course my parallel life of different work and world won't stop while I mainstream.

Next week perhaps I'll begin with a new drawing.
There's an outline I've etched out because it just sat poking it's way out of my head and so I had to scribble it. Will hew it with some more laborious detailing.

Today promises to be a different shade of jade one that shall pass too.
