Day #9
Monday morning started well and surprisingly enough the weather has not been too bad today, sunshine, a typical autumn day.
I had my list with things I wanted to do today but somehow I got sidetracked, lost in cyberspace. Do you know this feeling? You have everything mapped out and in the end nothing gets done?
Maybe I exaggerate or I am being too harsh on myself, the truth is that I need a structured day filled with tasks I can happily tick off.
In the evening I made dinner with the black truffle I had bought on the market on Saturday, normally I would make my own pasta but today it had to be store bought organic tagliatelle.
I only put a little bit of butter on top of the noodles, there is no need of any sauce to disturb the fragrance of the freshly grated truffle. Honestly I was a little bit disappointed with the weak aroma (maybe this can be attributed to my mood?).

so delicious with fresh pasta
And here is the recipe for the honey and ginger salad dressing I promised you last week:
1/3 white balsamico
2/3 extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshly grated black pepper
1 TS liquid honey
1 TS ginger juice
I always prepare a whole bottle of salad dressing using the shaker you see in the picture below. Jamie Oliver has quite a nice shaker too.
Now for the ginger juice: either use a microplane grater which easily releases the juice in fresh ginger or grate a whole lot of ginger and pass it through it a sieve to retain the juice.

Day #9: picking up in momentum in the end but still seems like a wasted day

Sweet Barbara….Sometimes you just have to listen to the universe and put the lists aside…if you needed a day to get nothing done, then you needed a day to get nothing done…Getting “nothing” done can end up being filled with all kinds of wonderful lessons! Don’t be so hard on yourself!!
Sending you love and happiness….
SocialMediaDDS Dear dear Claudia, thank you so much for your lovely balm, just what I needed. It really was sulking on my part today and you know I have a mom of 89 who is still hyperactive and has certainly left her prints all over my personality …
I often think of you surrounded by your animals, I miss Chica so much. How are you doing? Has this summer been good to you?
What a pleasure to talk to you!
Your recipes look good! Thank you for sharing them!
robindavidman Hi Robin, thanks so much, take a seat and join us at the table!
Oh oh! I so get what you’re saying about starting the day with good intentions and then getting lost online! I just caught myself doing just that! 😮 I am trying that list thing – intentions for the day. It worked yesterday, let’s try again today!
Truffles – I have never tried them 😮
🙂
