So I've been cooking a bit the last few days and doing some real deep cleaning in my home amazing what you do when bored and worried about socializing among people with this coronavirus so the last week I've been limiting my movements.
I have been cooking up a storm for brunches I've made baked ricotta muffins. I cooked chopped hot soppressa salami then Combined 2 eggs about a cup of ricotta cheese chopped tomatoes and parsley seasoned with salt and pepper then baked in greased muffin tins my muffin tins are quite large so only made 3 ricotta muffins so brunch for next few days. Cook in pre heated oven 180° for about 30mins They tasted ok but next time I make them I will add some parmesan cheese as they needed some fruity nutty flavors that parmesan cheese brings to a meal, but otherwise they were nice to eat. I've also been cooking and eating steaks and coleslaw some homemade chicken broth. And Fridays dinner I made grilled barramundi and coleslaw. I also made yoghurt using full fat unhomganesed milk with cream. But stress is making me also over eat foods that I should not be eating I think its combination of being stressed with the going on with coranovirus and worried about my family and friends so been seeking comfort food which is not good as I am eating bad choices so I need to start posting more and hopefully get back 9n track.
Last Thursday I spoke to my GP who has recommended that I limit my travels at the moment due to being imune compromised as I've started two new treatment a few weeks ago for my UC and also being T2D she was concerned about me catching a train for my appointment with my Endocrinologist which is in Sydney but luckily Today received a call from the outpatient clinic advising my appointment with my Endocrinologist in Sydney he has arranged for a teleconference with me so no need to catch train on Wednesday so I am relieved about this as its 90 minute or longer trip on a crowded train. I've also been very lucky with lot of my local appointments ie my dentist and GP etc they have ensureed that my appointments for me are made so I'm first person in their clinic to avoid other people. Sadly I hate that I'm doing this as I love to socialise with others but it's the world we are living in now.
On Sunday we were told we are now in lockdown here in Australia something i was expecting they want to try and slow the curve so non essential services had to shut down from 12pm today but supermarkets chemists and other essentials can stay open, sadly a lot of people have lost their jobs because of covid-19 it has caused such massive sickness and damage to our world and our lives I hope we all can get through this. I'm Praying for a cure and that it stops spreading it such a worrying and serious time.
Its sad events have had to be canceled Even my nephew had to cancel his engagement party because of this. My mum turns 90 and Easter is off the agenda. But if this lockdown stops the curve it must be done. Its a very new world
One thing which is comforting is Woolworths have provided a service to be able to shop online for the elderly, disabled and compromised immune suppressant people. So submitted a request and it was approved. But haven't used it as yet I still want to still be able to have some social interaction but with social distancing but today I popped into my chemist thinking at 9 am it want be busy but it was and even trying to do social distancing was hard to do waited over 30 minutes to get my monthly supply of medication to say I was stressed is saying it I kept away from everyone but want be doing that next time I will drop script then come back to pick it up.
Have a look at this YouTube I thought this was of interest why it is so important that diet may help build your immune system which might help your body fight this covid-19 virus when or if you get it and avoid severe symptoms whilst waiting for a vaccine it talks about eating healthy foods, still do social distancing washing hands etc but try and keep your body healthy to try and fight this virus.
Sorry for long post I have not been on here for awhile but I think I need to get back onto posting again just been lost since my flare last year and trying to find food I could eat again but realise it helps jotting down what you eat so you can try make better choices.
Thank you For those who have continued to read my post
Take care everyone and stay safe ☆♡☆♡
