The feeling of waking up after a good nigh's sleep, feeling energised.
knowing there's no need for you to get up yet, but wanting to get up and kick arse.

it's a distant memory, but it's good.

Still the same then?

Getting better actually.
still not right but starting to feel the urge to get up off the sofa, which is a start. Asparagus rocks.

Asparagus best of all the vegetables

I love parsnips.

Roast them and serve them alongside it

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 12 Oct 2011, 12:53, Reply)

I was thinking the very same thing but she's on a diet so might not want to roast them.
Unless she dry roasts them, or maybe, Amberl, you could spray them with a bit of fry-light and roast them that way.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 12 Oct 2011, 12:56, Reply)

Don't be ridiculous
Amberl won't be eating any of this food she is preparing.

Does she just sniff it?

Too many calories in aromas.

Aspagus is probably my fave non-diversital veg too, in fact, it deffo is.
Have you ever tried sprinkling them with salt and baking them in the oven? Or using them as soldures with a boiled egg? They even work well microwaved, true story. I think that's what I going ot have for lunch now

I'll try the salt and oven idea.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 12 Oct 2011, 12:29, Reply)

Very much a mongrel
we think she's likely some kind of rottweiler/collie cross, but we got her from a shelter so we don't even know for sure how old she is

Sounds a good mix.
I had a Labradoodle, he's clever but silly, awesome family dog, more or less i giant puppy.

This is not one I can relate to.
I literally cannot remember the last time I felt the urge to leap out of bed and do something.

I don't know whether I'm tired and listless, or just plain fucking lazy. I suspect the latter.

The question is...
who is cooking the bacon?

he evidently has some redeeming characteristics.

One or two.
