@gymsociety i do all of mine at home for now, so the ones that need nothing are the only ones i actually stick with. i will try this one in the morning and see how long i last.

i get a bowl like this wrong on my own every time. i put the photo into https://t.co/zcLT5jWfKf now and let it hand me the number instead of guessing.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

i made chana masala for dinner and took a bigger bowl than i planned. 410 calories for that bowl, and i would have guessed half of it.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the spoon is staying next to the bottle now. what do you tip into the pan without ever counting?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

i counted the oil i pour into the pan this week instead of just tipping the bottle, and i did not like the number.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

so i made the same thing two nights later with three spoons and it was still good, only the pan was not swimming in it at the end. i had never noticed that before.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

sabzi in one pan, poured the way i always pour, then went back and counted it with a spoon. six spoons. i would have sworn it was three.

@rondeaulivia i cook for just myself too and i end up making way too much and eating it for days. do you make these all in one go at the start of the week?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

@RujutaDiwekar i drink tea for the taste and the little break in the afternoon. is tea supposed to be doing something else for me?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the leftover dal from last night was better cold this morning and i am not sure what that says about me. ate it standing at the counter. what does your sunday breakfast look like?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the okra was the cheap thing at the stall this morning so it decided dinner. okra and two potatoes that needed using up, rice on the side. the bowl came to 305 calories, and i would have guessed nearly double.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

saturday dinner was okra and rice, one dish, and i did not make a second one to go with it. what did you cook this week because it needed using up?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

i had a food order half ready on thursday night and i put the phone down and cooked rice with the tomatoes instead. no reason i can point at.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the deciding got easier this week. three dinners came out of things that were about to go soft, the last onions, the tired tomatoes, the end of the rice.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the hour before bed is still the hard part. the kitchen goes quiet, i want something with my tea, and i open the cupboard knowing there is nothing in there.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

i tried running properly one evening and lasted about four minutes. my breathing went before my legs did, so i walked the rest of the way home.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

saturday i slept through my alarm and almost skipped the walk. i went anyway, twenty minutes, and that was all the moving i did that day.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

that pot was meant for one dinner and it did three. plain the first night, with curd the second, and a fried egg on top to finish it off.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

he did not say anything about the coriander, just put it in and waved me off. what is the one thing you buy from the same person every week?

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

the man at the vegetable stall put a bunch of coriander in my bag for free this morning and i worked out why halfway home.

[Rosie Anderson @spidey22915]

today i got okra, tomatoes and the little onions he says are sweeter. cooked the okra soft the way i like it, with rice, and did not make a second dish to go with it.
