@eggyg here’s hoping that RICE gets to work on your ankle pronto and you’re up in your feet again soon.
And I’m another advocate for arnica here.
Not bothering to test today. I feel like a day off and I can feel the onset of a cold complete with raised glands and a slightly blocked ear. So it’ll be elevated if I checked BG.
It’s also the first day of Chanukah today and the traditional foods for this eight day festival are basically anything fried but traditionally it’s potato latkes or good old tradition doughnuts.
Never one to eschew my Jewish heritage I’ve already had two mini doughnuts today as I’m sure they work like Yiddishe antibiotics so you have to take two twice daily or something for full effectiveness.
Lunch wasn’t going to be anything other than poached salmon and broccoli but just been invited to the folks for a last minute celebratory meal with some distant cousins who I’ve not seen in yonks.
For this really last minute thing mum’s knocked together fried fish and latkes (these ones aren’t potato but just like little deep fried savory dough balls), salt beef and potato latkes (which are similar in a way to rosti but more delicious), and she’s made a pancake layer cake thing (one of those gâteaux made of layer upon layer of crepe sandwiched with a creamy filling of some sort (in this case it won’t actually be cream as she won’t serve milk and meat together) and sweet latkes (similar to the ones with the fried fish but with a bit of cinnamon in the batter and then hot rolled in icing sugar).
So everything other than the salt beef will be fried. And delicious.
See you all on the other side.
