I didn’t realize it’s been 11 days since the last post!

My bad! I didn’t intend for this to happen! Sorry!

Life is moving along, and I feel comfortable in this new life. Been in a loop of work, play, sleep, and visiting with cats… Repeat. I have had blogging at the back of my mind… Wondering if I should write about this or that… No, that doesn’t feel right yet, and so on. Hmm, Anxiety. I still haven’t set up or looking for a therapist, despite needing one, because I’ve been procrastinating about health insurance. I haven’t had any coverage for 40 days now. The problem is that my state health insurance finder website doesn’t accept payments, so I have to call the company during business hours to pay… Because I can’t do it on their website… Which I can’t do because they require a plan number before you can even sign up. Ugh.

I had inspiration from this comment:

Hope this is okay to share!

Of course! I can write a recipe post! I haven’t had one in a long time, and it’s something I mentioned in

About Me

Therefore… I got an idea. I’ll do ten recipe posts for the rest of October!

Recipes (Boy, this sure is bare… Time to restock the cupboard!)

Finally a blogging/writing goal that inspires me! I’ll do some usual “Life check-ins with the word” posts sprinkled between. (or maybe another form of self torture…. )

I’ve been in a cooking mood again since I took that break. One of my goals is to eat better; another is to cut my expenses since I’ve gone out too often for lunch in the past three months at my job. I’m apparently in the top tier of weed trimmers at work, and though I haven’t had a review yet, I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback from my boss, and new employees come to me for tips.

The recipes…

So tomorrow, I’ll post the first of three recipes. I cook everything first before I post. I haven’t made the first two recipes before. They will be my meals for dinner/lunch, probably for the next week.

First up: Jamaican Jerk Pork…

Cooking in the oven right now! (Well, it’ll likely be done by the time you read this 😅) Also pictured, a future recipe: Roasted root vegetables with herbs.

This is the first time to my knowledge that I’ve made Jamaican Jerk Pork Shoulder before. I didn’t buy scotch bonnet peppers because I had several bottles of spicy hot sauce in the cupboard, all with a little bit in each container. I can’t eat much spicy food these days as it burns all the way through, but I believe that I made this hot enough, like Jerk spice seasoning is known for. As I type this at 6:33 pm PST, I hope this turns out delicious!

Thanks for reading! I’m thankful you still follow, even though I’ve been flaky.
