Sick and Tired

I woke this morning and felt like Tyson had been beating me about the body, I had to drag myself out of bed, and shuffle around the room until the circulation hit the necessary spots, this took quite a while, Natalie called she is taking me food shopping today, so I popped up to the lounge and finished my blog, not easy when you feel like death. I went back to the room and doped myself up with anti everything, anti-pain, anti-muscle, anti feeling and headed back to meet Natalie.

We headed up to the supermarket, and so the lessons begin, Tomato Puree found and then the serious stuff, we did the vegetables and avoided the bread, I was shown the organic area, and then came the meat, there was an incredible display of meats and chicken, I would like to say amazing, but the things next to the chicken livers resembles intestines and eugh they looked rank, I asked for my chicken, next it was beef, how clever the beef I ordered was then minced in front of me, this is the usual way in most but not all supermarkets. So I watched my beef being put through the mincer, then it was cheese, I tasted a few cheeses until I found what I wanted and placed my order, I was shown, the cheese's in the fridges, there are choices here, and the choice is what % of fat you want, I then asked about the lovely Hummus which can be plain or infused with other things, when I asked about low fat Natalie told me Hummus is only fully loaded, fully loaded it is then.

Next on my list was Matzo crackers, these are the kosher crackers that I have spoken about with Amit the guard when we had a discussion about my bread problems, so I know own a large box and we will see if I can eat them. I found Nutella for the youngest Prince and a sauce/paste that you can add to dishes or use in things, aparently its very hot, think that will go nicely with the Chicken Korai I have planned for My Beloved when he gets home, we finished our shopping and not before Natalie gave me a discount card form which we have to fill in together as its all in Hebrew.

I took myself to the book store and purchased an Israeli cook book, so now Im ready to try cooking Israeli style. I walked back to the apartment with my purchases, my arms dragging the floor due to the weight in the bags. I put the shopping away and unfortunately had really started to flag again, the joints now felt like I was carrying some one else on everyone of them, and I had forgotten to take pain killers with me, so I slowly put together My Beloved's supper the smell around the house was lush, but I will be happier when the kitchen vent is fitted and then it won't stink the whole house out....

My Beloved arrived to collect me and I really had taken a turn for the worse, so he said 'home lady' and drove me back to the hotel, where he drew me a bath, plied me with a toddy and painkillers and looked after me whilst I snoozed for the rest of the night. My poor baby had to put up with me sweating out what ever was wrong with me, I woke half way through the night and thought I had peed the bed until I realised it was just the upper half of my body, phew.............
