LIKES AND DISLIKES

We all have our likes and dislikes don’t we? Of course we do. Nothing wrong with that. Some remain the same all through our lives and others change. Many things I disliked as a child I now enjoy and vice versa. As a teenager I loved the carnival rides 🎢 🎡, the higher the better. Now I can’t even look at them, let alone get on them. Just the thought makes me ill.🤮

Family members or friends often have different likes: movies 🎞, sports ⚽️⚾️🎾🏉, clothes 👗👔🧢👟🩴👠🥾👖👚, hair styles 👩🏽 🧑🏻‍🦰 👱🏼‍♀️ 👨🏽‍🦱👱🏼‍♂️, vehicles 🚗🚴 🛻 🚙, music 🎶🎺🎷🪗, books 📚, drinks ☕️🍵🍷🍺🧃, food 🍩🍪🎂🍨🍫🥗🍝🌮🍕🍔. That’s what makes us unique. We can’t expect that everyone will like what we do.

So what about today got me thinking about this? Richard’s breakfast: Sweet Beet Raspberry Yogurt.

Looks beautiful doesn’t it? He loved it. My worst nightmare. Greek yogurt, raspberry jam, toasted walnuts and beets. Yes beets. He loves beets. I detest them.

In my last post I discussed how my legs had been extremely painful due to the statin I was prescribed and that since stopping it I was much better. That improvement continues and thankfully my exercise regime is improving daily. Yay! It reinforces that we have to be our own health advocates. I previously knew this but you know how it is, you forget that and you take the advice of others. But we do know our own bodies and we need to listen to them too.

Today was a very tough day for Richard so I decided to be in charge of supper. Tonight’s was from Chef Michael Smith’s 100 of My Favourite Easy Recipes. Both recipes were from this cookbook. We paired it with a Don David Malbec as there was red wine in the sauce.

To my surprise the meal was very good. I had tasted the red wine sauce while it was cooking and did not like the flavour but once it was on the chicken it was delicious. The instructions for the sweet potatoes said to dice them, which I did, but in his picture the sweet potatoes pieces were much bigger. I’ll make them bigger next time.

It’s been a tough day, Teresa. I’m thinking of you.❤️ Take care.

My song choice is not really about my post but Richard played it for me today and I loved it. So peaceful and calming. A beautiful song for when you’re having a rough time.
