09Jan20 Some of my meals aren’t that special or fancy. This one was filling and not totally unhealthy. Lots of cucumber (actually more than pictured because I went back for more). Two chicken burgers with burger sauce on them, and steamed fresh cauliflower in an olive spread container (it still had spread in it that I thought would be nice with it and it worked a treat. I sprinkled dry ranch dressing powder I bought in the states on it (less than a teaspoon) for a bit of oomph. #cookingforone #cooking #2020pad #cucumber #chickenburgers #cauliflower

11Jan20 I went to the city today to hang out in a pub with some friends over lunch and a few drinks. I forgot to take photos while there. DARN! But waiting for the bus I saw this ad. Can’t wait to see it! I love Shaun the Sheep! Any Adelaide people want to come see it with me? #2020pad #inthecity #igotoutofthehousetoday #busstop #shaunthesheep #farmageddon

13Jan20 Was doing my exercise today (Strength & Balance training). The stepper, for me, is a combination of both strength and balance. Currently my lounge room / gym has a few remnants from my office makeover, including the box of books in the chair. But stepping up and seeing the “This way up” sticker just gave me the giggles. #strengthtraining #2020pad #homegymlife #thiswayup #stepper #quadkiller #gettingfit

07Jan20 I’ve never seen my gym advisor stick her tongue out at me before (and I didn’t realise at the time). It was a rest day. Maybe she wanted me to do something more exciting, like say row or lift weights? Or she’s taunting me! #rowing #darkhorserowing #homegymlife #catsofinstagram #keepmoving #restdaysareimportanttoo #2020pad

10Jan20 A couple weeks ago I read that you can use Nori (the seaweed ‘paper’ that’s wrapped around sushi) in a bamboo steamer as opposed to using foil and cutting little holes in it then throwing it away when done. So I thought I’d give it a try for steaming my fish. The house had a lovely seaweed smell while the fish cooked and when finished, the nori was crinkled up to the fish. I scooped both up and put them in the pan with the hot water I’d used for steaming then added the rest of the ingredients to make my ramen soup. #cookingforone #cooking #hokifish #nori #steamedhoki #ramensoup #ramensoupforthesoul
