Things I’m particularly grateful for today:

a job where I feel safe and supported, wanted and not alone
a good friend I could call and mutually share what’s troubling us, someone who totally understands anxiety and is honest and genuinely shows up when asked
having the motivation to cook from scratch and relieve some of the bodily anxiety

Yep, it’s another big batch of Hoppin’ John tonight, healthy, cheap and delicious. I’m going to eat dinner in bed now with the OMITB finale on. I’m going to be OK…

I’m so glad to hear there was a bit of good stuff in your day. I am grateful I just found out about Hoppin’ John - just googled it and I think I might try a batch on the weekend.

  Yes I first found out about it years ago when I was wondering what to do with black eyed beans. I make it with vegan sausages scrambled up separately and added in at the end. Plenty of onion and garlic. And eat it with basmati rice and lime pickle. If you do try it I’d be keen to know how it goes.

    I used to make similar with sliced Spanish chorizo instead of bacon.
    
    I should make it again, it’s easy and delicious and very satisfying

  It is really earthy and wholesome. It’s a bit of a pain soaking the beans but would be perfect for an instant pot. I’m so glad you’ve had some wins as well esp on the health front!
