Looks great! Root crops, red pepper, tomatoes and meat balls I see. But I think you have cheese as well. What is the spice I see?

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

I'm going to find something to eat now

 

[Codeman93]

Almost

Only almost

 

[Massive Grooves]

Great. Mine will be done in a couple hours.

Lots of ups and downs and sportsball and grief and anger and sadness and thank god for boobs and asshole music and people drinking and cooking

I've not been able to be on much this week... I'm sad about Sin and doing my best to not wallow in the stuff that's difficult and painful all around me.
So... I've started my day late and with peppermint liquor in my hot cocoa. (@Mrtenant would be proud of me)
Hugs for ALL of my chaos peeps

Today I have sadness and yet hope. It was 6 months ago that cancer took my lovely wife from me. She taught me that life is short, move forward, find solutions and not excuses, and go do! And so, I am. At 71, my time here is short, so I must and will find some happiness. I have discovered there is more to all of you than sexy playful banter. I am glad I have made some new friends here. “It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.” (author Patti Davis).

Hugs and care as you mark this 6 month anniversary. Grief is a strange road and I am so glad you have found some respite here with this crazy gang of Lit misfits

There's a Finnish song saying (translated by me)

"I don't understand those leading double life
Sometimes it feels i cannot properly live even this one"

This is a great quote... I do my very best to be authentic and real all of the time even tho, like anyone else, sometimes I'd just like to hide under the covers.
Blanket Fort anyone???

Brenda darlin, if u ever made ur way over here I'd show u some castles, nae whiskey (as it turns me intae a no very nice beast (or maybe that's whit u want!)) and we could picnic at the top, howl at the moon and see how big things get

I had such an amazing time in Scotland....wish you coulda shown me around a bit.

I am really not in a good place today and using all my energy to try to be light and positive which is where I want to be. If I am being negative, I would rather shut up and leave rather than spread that around.

Awwww Brenda Bear ❤❤
We love you all the time. Big hugs

You are right, I mean no harm, trying to resolve things as easy as possible can be seen as blunt sometimes and when it comes to an ignore button I become paranoid and wonder how many people have pressed that button with me. I would always want someone to talk to me or explain a situation, allow me to right a wrong and if I can't learn then that's on me and I accept that I have a long way to go as a human being. I have seen a lot of posts of people trying to do that and seen them fail.

I doubt anyone has you on ignore. Please be kind to yourself... I can feel the heat of your pain here on the other side of the globe.
So many people are here on Lit because of things in their lives not being what they want. Do your best to extend kindness and grace... it is impossible to know the difficulties people are facing on the other side of the screen.
And @Nevyn_Black - hugs honey. Both you and Braveheart are acting out of a protectiveness of people you love and care about here. You two are more alike than either of you might like to admit.
Hug it out now please.

Cogan figured it pretty well, I'll just add the details...

Looks great! Root crops, red pepper, tomatoes and meat balls I see. But I think you have cheese as well. What is the spice I see?

That was well to the point!
Roots = potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots.
Cheese = shredded mozzarella.
Spice = salt and Italian herbs (I've made a mix with rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil)

And some garlic infused olive oil. Plenty, actually. I can't use fresh or dried garlic much, but fodmaps are water-, not oil soluble, so infusion works fine.

Would have added if only...: onion if I could eat it, courgette if I had any.

Sorry, but a curious question: what does that mean?
