This is supper tonight… not quite fish & chips, but a much healthier option.
I’ve discovered that heart-healthy, low-sodium meals aren’t always tasteless and bland. They don’t have to be; I guess the dieticians aren’t lying.
I miss the salt, I do, but I can cover it up by using all the hot spices and other seasonings I want. So there’s that.

I’m starting to think time isn’t as linear as it appears. I am beginning to believe it’s circular, and just like the lunar cycle, it comes back to show it’s full face.
