Nothing
I don’t bake anything, not because I’m lazy, but because my children switched to a bread-free diet (and I was transferred). Do not eat bread, pasta, cereals at all, limit potatoes. They eat meat, eggs, dairy and all vegetable (vegetables, fruits). At first I was a little indignant, but now I’m even used to it, I eat everything without bread. We even spread pâté, zucchini and eggplant caviar on cheese or lettuce. And you know, without bread, you feel full longer, and you don’t get fat as much. It used to be at home, you only eat the first, second and compote, and then you carry bagels or cookies all day. I’m already wondering if the bread contains some additive to make you want to eat all the time, like in Whiskas for cats.
So, I offered to bake Easter cakes, but they told me that I myself would eat them. This is where it all ended. But I do bake almond and nut flour cookies here. It’s gluten free and delicious!
People often ask me what I do and if I’m bored. Not boring at all. During the week when no one is at home, I cook food, do chores, write letters, make phone calls, watch TV, or sew something. I don’t have time to look back, they are already starting to come from work and from school. In the evening we have dinner with the whole family, and when we have a free evening, we go for walks (so as not to get fat).
Not so long ago, just going for a walk, I received a notification on my cell phone that a dust storm is expected at 11 pm. I was scared, and the children tell me that we still have time to return. And indeed, we walked through the desert (of course, along the hiking trails, otherwise you will pick up thorns), and at 11 o’clock a strong wind rose, but we were already at home. That is, the notification service works well, at 11 it means at 11. But now it’s getting very hot: 18 – 19 degrees in the morning, and 30 – 32 in the afternoon, and soon the walks will have to be stopped, and snakes wake up in the spring and you have to be careful.
Recently, while driving a car, saw a rattlesnake on the road. It was a meter and a half long, 6 centimeters in diameter, with a rather large ratchet at the end of the tail. The snake lay at the turn of the street to our house. It can be seen that someone hit her with a car, she was folded into a ring and moved as if alive, but did not crawl away. Even driving past it was creepy, because rattlesnakes are the most poisonous snakes in Arizona. There are only a few laboratories in America that produce serum from her bite, and it is very expensive (from $ 15,000 (this is for 6 injections) to $ 150,000). They say that in Mexico you can buy it for a couple of hundred :))
The ancient Indians added the poison of a rattlesnake to the juice of plants and made from it poison for arrows, which was called “curare”. Game killed with such arrows, it turns out, can be eaten. Poison is only dangerous if it enters the bloodstream. Rattlesnakes are even eaten by pigs, because due to their subcutaneous fat, rattlesnakes are not dangerous to them.
The next day, Mark and I went to look at this snake, but it was already lying upside down, and the next day it was already eaten by some animals.
The trees are in bloom now. Palo Verde — the tree is all in yellow flowers, practically without leaves, but during flowering it causes allergies, someone has an itchy nose, someone has eyes, someone has a throat. Cacti are blooming everywhere. Saguaros will bloom in May.
