The art of self deception and fast food

[limone1]

I keep telling myself that I do NOT (not) have a cold coming on, that I'm just tired. Sore throat = pollen, aching muscles = Pilates/must have slept funny, sneezing = allergic to dust, tired = it's Monday.

But in the spirit of the wise dabhug I will be kind to myself and there will be no dinner prep involving chopping/frying/boiling etc but fast food

Oh, that sounds so yum! And definitely NOT fast food!

I do hope that you are not coming down with something and that you feel better soon!

Hugs to you.

It's really quick to prepare, ergo fast food :)

Hugs to you.

Ugh, totally bummer on the cold (I HATE colds...), but your 'fast' food sounds totally YUM!

Feel better soon, bb!

I know research on deadly pathogens is very important and all that, but eradicating the cold virus would be pretty cool too ;)

Evening plans this week has been cancelled in favor of lemon tea, reading and watching various shows.

I would be happy to give up infectious disease research if that meant there weren't any to research any more!

I'm picturing your next TV interview:

Reporter: So when will you start writing novels full time?

Jen: As soon as I've eradicated ebola and all other diseases.

Reporter: So from 2016 there will be two Abbott and Lowell mysteries a year and a standalone novel every now and then.

Jen: Yes, I will definitely have cracked the Marburg virus and the rest by then. But because I'm a scientist I'm realistic, so better make that the second quarter of 2016.

Sorry, couldn't help myself, must be the cold virus ;)

This sounds so yummy. I will save this for when I am looking for something for me.

Hope you are feeling better!

I would recommend a trip to somewhere warm!

I made another fast food dish the other week inspired by your pizza, pita bread with jalapeno, cherry tomatoes and smoked applewood cheddar.

A trip somewhere would be nice!

That sound delicious, bb! I've had a cold too. One of those ones that when it finally arrives you realise you've been fighting it off for ages. Sounds like yours might have been similar.

*sympathy hugs*

It's funny how strong "mind over matter" can be :)

Allowed myself some traditional fast food after making it through a long working week and picked up pizza on the way home on Friday. Half a pizza piled high with garlic and spinach leaves turned out to be the prefect thing!

Hope you're all recovered from your cold.
