I feel that way too so haven't been doing much the last week or I'm cooking later in the evening. I hope you will have some cooler days here and there to make you more comfortable. Stay safe. xxJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-18884018415147638312020-08-06T23:04:44.665-07:002020-08-06T23:04:44.665-07:00It's 8AM here Joyful, time for breakfast.

I perspire a lot outdoors. Such an active virus in hot and humid weather like the new corona changed my understanding of virus. We’ve missed something but gained something as well. Your dishes are all visually appealing and of course must be delicious. Balanced diet is good but I try not to overeat staying mainly at home. In my place, after 9 p.m. is quite dark. Take care and enjoy your summer in possible ways. See you.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-6935187589846832742020-08-04T18:12:22.108-07:002020-08-04T18:12:22.108-07:00Thank you Aritha.Thank you Aritha.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-3546189199826190992020-08-04T11:44:06.706-07:002020-08-04T11:44:06.706-07:00Your photos are nice.

Ugali is made with maize flour and Mealie Meal is made with maize meal. Maize meal or corn meal is a coarser consistency which in North America we use to make many things like cream of wheat, corn bread and so on. The ugali is a much denser consistency as in the photo I provided in the post. I'm not sure but I think in South Africa the mealie meal is like our cream of wheat, a porridge-like consistency. My mom used to cook a lot of this when I was young. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

It is a staple of their diet and many people of all colour eat it there. We cook it occasionally but not on a regular basis.<br />I think waiting to go into hospital is very wise as the situation is at present!! Enjoyed this post.

I almost overcooked them though. If I use the cast iron next time they will only cook on one side at a time rather than two.

I was trying to make nutritious meals and I'm glad they came across that way. I do like a variety of foods and I too get in a rut with the meals if I don't stop and think about how to make something different like grilled Greek Chicken instead of roasted or baked. Or lemon, garlic potatoes instead of boiled or mashed. Of course I don't always like cooking so my adventures are often time limited, lol. My plants have been getting a lot of rainwater for many months and once the hot sun and temperatures came out everything started to wither very quickly. I'm trying to keep them alive for another month. I do appreciate all your prayers and encouragement. I managed to call the pharmacy today and get the medicines renewed for a month but before the Fall arrives I'll likely have a phone appointment with the doctor. I will definitely pop in here and there. God bless. xxJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-47084173607129549232020-07-30T18:02:34.100-07:002020-07-30T18:02:34.100-07:00It probably makes sense to wait on the kitten alth...It probably makes sense to wait on the kitten although I'm sure they would be very safe about things but you still have to get there twice.
