I made a really nice pumpkin soup yesterday. Had leftovers with a can of mackerel I fried with chilli crisp, soy sauce, oyster sauce and mirin. I poured the soup on top and mixed. Was great.

to reduce the water and give the chickpeas a head start. I then added them as a single layer on to of the slow cooker pot. I'm back in bed now with two different types of water.

The spices crust onto the meat and I made sure it was coated evenly. Ken added it in a single layer to the slow cooker (now on low) whilst I added a can of drain chickpeas to the wok. After coating in what was left of the spice paste I added the jar water and cooked on a high heat

I started with some ghee and some mustard seeds and nigella and cooked until they started popping. Then I added a curry paste (Pataks) and garlic and ginger paste. When combined I added the meat on quite a high heat. I got Ken to add hot water from the kettle to rinse the garlic and ginger paste jar

At about 10.30am after more sleep a bunch more meds and some breakfast I checked the veg was cooked. I used my stick blender to puree it until smooth an a little splashed all over my wall. Then I set up my wok.

TheChronicCook @lucydrake.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
At 8am I popped downstairs, boiled the kettle and poured enough water to just cover the veg in the slow cooker. Popped it on high and went back to bed.

Last night I made and ground a spice blend and chucked it and the large lamb chunks into a bag. Put it back in the fridge. I also got M to peel and chop one small squash and an enormous carrot. The squash and carrot and a stock cube got put into the slow cooker, but not turned on.

2 August We emptied and filled Trying to find an order In the chaos. Then it stopped. The silence deafening. We went our separate ways Leaving the buckets Encase it rained again.

1 August We stood under the tarpaulin With all the buckets And a tub and a Lone watering can. Catching the rain. Like it was gold. The sound of it Thundering in our ears. We move pot and bucket Under this spot and that Our feet covered it dirt Thrown up by the deluge.

It’s our country yet we are not as outraged as are the Irish, and even the Canadians. We are focused on trivialities instead of uniting to rid ourselves of the pedophile ruling us.

That my kidneys started crapping out. Then my thyroid. Then I got a fibro diagnosis. Then diabetes. Then perimenopause wrecked all my stats. I miss running, and dancing and hiking. I miss not feeling like this. I'm tired of fighting to be treated as human, especially but medical professionals.

TheChronicCook @lucydrake.bsky.social · 02/07/2026
If I really look at it I know the crux of the pain is Blame and Shame. That somehow it is my fault I'm ill. The fact I wasn't plus sized or diabetic when this started. That I could run 11k in 45 minutes. Then I physically couldn't get out of bed for about 5 yrs.

6) Not bad for the first proper thing I've cooked in a week. I'm so tired I could just cry. #chronicillness

5) Cooking it slightly hotter until the spice paste sticks to the meat making a crust then adding a little water to the spice paste jar and adding that to remove any fond from the pan. M added it to the slow-cooker. It will need some spinach added later but as of now it looks really good.

TheChronicCook @lucydrake.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
4)The sauce was put into the slow cooker. M in a wok heated up a generous amount of ghee and added the last of my spice blend, then pataks spice paste, then garlic ginger paste and then the dry spiced chicken pieces.

TheChronicCook @lucydrake.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
3) and added some of the spice blend I made for the chicken, a little more ghee, and some tomato paste. I fried that off and then added some water. Transferred the mixture to a big jug and blitzed it until smooth. At this point I was very tired and M banned me from doing more.

2) After about 15 mins I took the lid off and keep cooking them. As I left the onions cooking I made a spice blend and put my chicken into it in a ziploc bag. I kept stirring my onions. When the onions started to get about the right colour I pushed the onions to the sides...

1) I'm still sick but I got up and dressed today and made chicken curry. I'm back in bed now on my kids orders (I burst into tears for no reason). I used the mandolin to finely slice three onions. I add them some ghee, mustard seeds and salt to pan covering with a lid.
