last night slept 6.7 hrs. To bed 230am. To sleep 300am. Awake 930am.
BP upon awaking: 103/82 pulse 53.
Yesterday morning, I stopped at Tim Horton's and got a large black coffee to go (and nothing else.... YEH!). I went to the beach again, and people-watched on a bench under the shade of a tree. Many Canada-wide tourists on Vancouver Island and in Parksville this holiday week-end, as there are forest fires, smoke-filled air, and COVID hot spots in the interior of BC. I also did some slow walking from one bench to next.
Yesterday and this morning I spent a lot of time food prepping, while watching Olympics on CBC TV.
I rarely cook just 1 serving of anything. I food prep most of the foods I eat regularly, that take a long time to cook or are messy. I depend on my freezer a lot. I fast-freeze on sheet pans placed in the fridge freezer's top shelf, as it is much, much faster. Once frozen and placed in freezer containers or bags, then I transfer them to my small chest freezer.
CARROTS: I grated 5 lb bag of carrots, fast froze on 1 silpat sheet on sheet pan, and put loosely into 1 large freezer bags. (I like adding to salad, stir-fry, etc. to add colour and sweetness.
QUINOA:I cooked 800g bag of quinoa. Fluffed up with fork. let cool. spread out on sheet pans. The fast froze on 2 silpat sheets on sheet pan. Crumbed small chunks into 2 large freezer bags. ( I don't like cooking quinoa because those tiny half circles stick to everything!
CHERRIES: I pitted a bunch of fresh bing cherries. Again, laid them out in 1 layer to fast freeze on 1 silpat sheet on sheet pan, and put loosely into 1 large freezer bag.
SPAGETTI SQUASH: I cooked 2 spaghetti squash, in my large toaster oven (avoided oven so as not to heat up my apartment so much, as we are in midst of another heat wave).
BEETS: I boiled 1 kg of beets. They are sliced and ready to eat in fridge as a sweet snack or add to a salad. Beets are delicious, hot, cold or pickled, just plain with nothing added. But beets take a long time to boil, and are so messy I wouldn't cook 1 serving at a time.
Now my small chest freezer it full of batch cooking, the bag of Wild & Brown rice blend, or anything else, will have to wait till I eat some stuff.
