Series – Future Self Journal – 15B – Crème Fraiche – DDD

Speaking of food porn….another favorite South Park episode. Granted, while I have never been *that* excited watching Food Network or Top Chef, I find binging on Diners Drive-Ins (DDD) and Dives when I am cutting calories feeds me in some type of way. I actually eat less on good food porn days. Food isn’t just sustenance, it’s an outlet for creativity for some of us. My mind leaves full and fed. It’s weird, but I’ll allow it.

I have been attempting to find the most logical way to record recipe ideas inspired by my food tv viewing. I have set up reminders on the iPhone calendar for months down the road. But I was missing the alert reminder window to catch me when I menu plan. Additionally, maybe I am not in the mood to experiment with fried chicken in yam sauce when it pops up. I’ve sent reminders to myself in my messenger file and saved messages in Telegram. Scrolling through all the things I’ve saved there is a rare event. There is a lot. I blessed with the kind of life that inspires much. Saving to Favorites? Those files, while organized, are also full and rarely checked.

What a first world fat ass problem. Ha~

I am grateful for MUCH:

1. Kept on plan yesterday and so far, still on plan today. My new mantra CRAVINGS ARE TEMPORARY is actually helping. For now.

2. Covid free, for another day. Yes, again, and worth a Grateful mention daily! Same goes for family. Covid free, safe, socially distancing and masking.

3. More lovely Christmas cards in the mail from my favorite people.

Godspeed Y’all!
