I will humbly admit it: my eyes are bigger than my stomach! It\u2019s a little weakness I\u2019ve long been aware of. At the pizza counter, I\u2019ll order three large all-dressed\u00a0slices knowing full well that I am going to eat only half. Or a big club sandwich buried under a huge helping of the world\u2019s best fries, a good portion of which will stay on my plate. I love ordering well-cooked meat, even if a few chops or sausages will likely go untasted. And I always order a dessert, simply so I can enjoy a spoonful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I blame my curiosity. It also has eyes bigger than my needs; I want to discover how each dish is made. And when I bite into something especially delicious, I inevitably try to reproduce the same delight at home. During these days of self-isolation, I am discovering or improving recipes in my kitchen daily. And I love it, I love the satisfaction of perfecting, in every area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have 4-5 pairs of round glasses I enjoy switching between, 5 yellow tops in my wardrobe cupboard because I like the colour, and so many scarves, headbands and handmade wristbands that I almost don\u2019t have enough space to keep them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess I\u2019ve always thought big; I overestimate my needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping is my favourite fun activity because again, my curiosity trumps my reasoning. Same goes for the pile-up of projects in my head. My enthusiasm means more projects than my mental highway was made for. Like a moth to a light, everything that is new to me is irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, isn\u2019t life a great feast, there for our enjoyment and discovery? Have no fear, I am digging in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My appetite for living is also oversized. Life is a vast self-serve buffet of possibilities that I avail myself of like a young-at-heart old woman who is still hungry and curious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During these weeks of self-isolation, we have more time to dream with our eyes wide open, to revisit our shopping lists at life\u2019s buffet of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delight your loved ones with drawings of I \u2764 YOU and surprise them with dishes you cook up using whatever you find in the kitchen cupboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll help you get started, with this delicious recipe for homemade custard that a little girl who knows how to use a mixer could easily make herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a medium-sized bowl, add the contents of a small box of instant Jell-O Vanilla Instant Pudding and 2 cups of milk. Mix together until thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another bowl, thoroughly beat 1 cup of 35% cream. Add to the bowl of pudding and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

mix well. Transfer to a container, cover and set in the fridge to chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy with your favourite dessert or on a cr\u00eape filled with banana slices or fresh strawberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guarantee you that this homemade treat will light up smiles around the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s amazing how easy happiness is when you put your mind (and imagination) to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true for me \u2013 illustrating my little secrets gives me so much pleasure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending you all my \u2764,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
