        At an educated guess, I went to lift a heavy table top but standing side on rather than facing it. I loaded the facet joints rather than the discs of my spine. As such I smooshed a facet joint around my T9 vertebrae which triggered a cascade of nerve problems and muscle spasm through my right side thoracic spine. I’ve woken up in 80% less pain today. My protocol of two valium (10mg diazepam), some magnesium pills, a foam roller and a massage ball seem to have taken the brunt out of it. I’m still sore but I can move around without lots of pain.

          Blimey mate that sounds rough, people don’t understand chronic pain till they’ve had it. Glad it’s improved fingers crossed it levels off soon.

            Hurt like all fuck yesterday. I reckon the heap of magnesium tablets I took really sorted it out more than I expected them too.

            On chronic pain, if someone hasn’t experienced it I don’t want to hear their opinion on it.

    The whole sweetcorn was drying out and the cabbage was wilting so I ate sweetcorn, steamed in its leaves in the microwave, and a super quick blanched pickled shredded cabbage. Not really a meal, more of a human garbage disposal event. I hate wasting food.

    Just finished making Chnöpfli (Swiss variant of Spätzle) with asparagus and salad. I was feeling nostalgic for a dish my grandmother used to make when I was a kid.

    Shakshouka: eggs cooked in a tomatoes and bell peppers sauce, with melted cheese (I used moz’) and siding some bread.

    Salted and boiled cod with boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli. Topped with warm butter. Somehow my kids love it, despite being extremely picky eaters.

    My cats are currently nagging while waiting for their turn.

    UPDATE: I now have two cats in food coma

    I’m thinking I’ll make some pancit bihon (Filipino rice noodle dish). Its leftovers are my favorite for breakfast.

      Oh delicious. I used to work at a big park in western Canada and every Sunday the Filipino community would gather for lunch. Always so friendly they would come find me and invite me in for food. So many good cooks. I learned to make so many delicious things from that wonderful group of people.

      I haven’t considered pancit for breakfast but I thank you for the idea. That does sound good.

      I live in a city with a large Filipino community, and it rocks because nearly every restaurant (doesn’t matter it’s Italian, Mexican, chicken joint, or sports pub) will have lumpia on the menu. That right there is KittenBiscuit crack.

        Lumpia is also great. We’ve got a little Filipino grocery store around the corner here which I like to grab it from occasionally.

        I think pancit is better reheated. Heat it up in a pan with a little bit of peanut oil. I also add a little more soy sauce and garlic than is standard. Mmmmm, going to be so happy tomorrow morning.

        Edit: I was indeed very happy this morning.
