Kelly140's Journal, 02 April 2018

so pretty 😊 

looks really yummy!  

I'll keep your recipe in mind, I like your idea of using salmon instead of the chicken. I'm thinking I might try it on a white fish like haddock or cod. The spinach salad looks delicious! 

All fish is good fleur lol I’m a Nova Scotian by birth, so I grew up on seafood. I like finding new recipes and playing around with them.. it’s my thing. 

Kelly, you constantly surprise me. Somehow, I assumed you were from somewhere North, maybe even of Inuit ancestry, and that was the reason you chose to work in the Arctic. I used to hate fish & seafood as a child, but I crave it as an adult. In the same way, I hated onions as a child, but love them as an adult. Horseshu1 wrote a journal entry recently explaining that she had intended to make stuffed cabbage rolls with riced cauliflower, but then got the idea of using riced rutabaga instead & found it delicious. Again, I posted a comment, that I hated rutabaga as a child & relish them as an adult. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. 

No worries about assumptions... I work in Inuit communities and on native reservations... it’s an easy assumption but no I’m not aboriginal. I just got lucky with this job... I’ve seen some amazing places and things on this earth that not many ppl get to witness. But if the truth be known, I’m a small town girl/coal miners daughter straight out of NS. And I all honestly I’m planing on leaving this job soon... getting married and moving back to England. And I kinda Really wanna look nice in the wedding pics... lol 

And Fleur I know exactly what you mean about growing to like things... I detested yogurt when I was younger... I could live on the stuff now lol Cream cheese, brussel sprouts and sausage are other examples for me..  

You mentioned somewhere that your fiancé was in England, so it does not surprise me that you want to go back. Are your children & grand-children in Canada? Do you have a date for the wedding? From the pictures I have seen in your journal, you already look lovely, you will make a lovely bride, at any size. I do understand your wanting to lose more weight, don't think I want to criticize it. It will be a gigantic change in your life, change of employment, change of marital status, change of continent... 

I hated pancakes as a child, maybe because we ate them with molasses, not maple syrup. For the yogourt, I purposely learned to like it as a teenager, eating a spoonful of sweet yogourt to start which I thought was very tart & eventually building up to plain yogourt, which I have binged on, I like it so much as an adult. I was raised on sausages and ground beef -- would not have eaten often if, like you, I had not liked sausages. I remember in those days the price was 3 pounds for a dollar, for both sausages & ground beef. But I am much older than you, not the same decade at all.
