Looks like a nice dish @EternalFlower  thanks for sharing 👍

[EternalFlower]

thanks @TAB it's this dish Baked Ziti Recipe - NYT Cooking (nytimes.com)

i just sometimes don't have energy to bake it - but i have done so a few times, and it gets crisp and crunchy

if not i just use the same sauce as a basic pasta sauce but i enjoy simmering it and letting it build flavour.

yeah the other ny times link worked @EternalFlower  good to know you eat something besides coke and chocolate lol

 yes, cooking can be enjoyable. 😊

[EternalFlower]

oh lol sorry i thought it didn't work

I cook everything Alison Roman recommends she has a youtube channel called "home movies" because some of the recipes on NYT are subscriber only. Glad you love and find something enjoyable in cooking as well. At times it was really keeping me going.

@TAB 

i went very hard on the coke and mangoes.  I do really can't believe i subsited on that for 3 months.
My social worker says Pepsi is better. And maybe the sugar free one?

The mangoes in the supermarket seem to be phasing out - they have different varieties now.

pepsi not better @EternalFlower  coke zero tastes way better. if go no sugar need to add actual food to diet

[EternalFlower]

yeahi thought it was better to have the sugar one because the non-sugar is lacking anything real 

I've been eating a tiny bit better @TAB i can feel my body craving substantial food afgter so much crap - 

like salmon or walnuts. i guess the main thing is to have variety as well - to mix it up

[TAB]

if you are going to go minimal, get trail mix, its got dried fruit, seeds and nuts @EternalFlower  then try to add oily fish and something like dates for roughage
