Next thing I know it's 11 a.m.
Oops!
However, sleep is a necessary component of keeping your brain strong, especially when you've been doing a lot of editing lately.
Another component is eating right, which DH and I have tried really hard to do since January. He's lost some pounds. I did, too!
Until the pandemic. All my old bad habits regarding stress eating came right back, and I put all the weight back on. ARGH!
But one of the things I'm learning over the pandemic is how to properly cook seafood. It's brain food, right?
I can roast catfish, bluegills, and bass over an open fire, but I had a tendency to overcook seafood on an indoor stove. I've tried salmon, scallops, and tilapia so far, and everything's turned out pretty good.
Living on a farm as a kid, I was so used to cooking the shit out of everything, especially pork. If you were in 4-H, you learned about all the potential parasites in your animal. And even though Dad helped with the medicines and our pigs were pretty darn healthy, the worm thing kind of sticks in your head.
And the real trick in cooking scallops is three minutes per side, else you end up eating hockey pucks.
Unfortunately, the scallops I was looking forward to for tonight's dinner will not arrive today. So I'm cooking with what I have in the refrigerator: bruchetta chicken, roasted asparagus, and bacon mashed potatoes. Those should get me through the editing I need to finish today!
