What I Ate on A Public Holiday

Nothing exciting for sure. 

Monday was a public holiday and I spent the day in the garden, pulling weeds, pruning my plants and watering. Then I did my laundry. 

After that it was a spot of tidying up areas of the house that needed tidying up. That's how I usually spend my holidays. Doing (to others) mundane things which I find very therapeutic.

There is nothing like the joy of seeing a tidy garden, clean clothes hanging on the rack and a neat house. I know. That's not most people's idea of spending the holidays.

Holidays are for getaways or going out for a spot of shopping or sightseeing with family or friends. I am an odd one.

Holiday or not, I gotta eat!

Again, holiday is a time to go out and eat, right? But no. Holiday is an opportunity for me to eat good home cooked meals, simple as they may be.

I love browned crispy garlic!

I love meat. So this was my main dish.

I love veggies too. These were sauerkraut and kimchi. Both homemade.

And a broth. I slow cooked one whole chicken for my girls. And instead of throwing away the broth, I consume it.

My humble lunch.

This was (early) dinner. Scrambled minced beef and eggs. 

Four eggs, some pre-cooked minced beef, onions and Jalapenos.

Some chili sauce and more fermented veggies.

After that was chill out with season 12 of Law & Order : Special Victims Unit (one of my favorite TV series). I actually prefer the classic Law & Order although SVU is still a good watch.

I am currently reading this book, Brutally Honest, by Melanie Brown. Remember Spice Girls?

I am not a Spice Girls fan (their music is not my type) but I liked Melanie Brown (Mel B) when she was a judge on America' Got Talent. I love her personality. She was also on Dancing With The Stars and she is a fantastic dancer.

It is sad that her love life was such a disaster and it pretty much almost destroyed her. Being beautiful, talented, rich and famous does not guarantee happiness in your life. 

That is why I am happy just being plain old PH! LOL!
