Food preparation for a week and grocery shopping | February 28, 2026

A week’s sports holiday is soon over. I haven’t played any sports, it’s school as usual for me. The others in the family are skiing. I myself am at home in an empty house, which happens very rarely. When the kids were younger, it was all I dreamed of: at least one or two days in complete silence and without anyone messing up.

Now I realize that it will be just as messy, right? Is it really hard to pick up after ME? And I miss having the herd with me. But certainly, I’ve had a lot of time and energy to donate.

Both my regular blow dryer and a blow dryer broke at about the same time. I don’t understand how things can break and products run out at the same time. With this I bought a new hair dryer, the cheapest I could find, and a regular round brush. Feels old fashioned! However, I now hate the length of my hair.

Normally it is my husband who buys and cooks all the food, but now I had to arrange it myself. I took the opportunity to spend extra time on breakfast. Kefir and Greek yogurt with blueberries, peanut butter, hemp seeds, nuts and finally Paulun’s granola, about the only good one in the store.

I solved the rest of the meals on Sunday via a mega stork chef so I didn’t have to think about food later. Worked great, gotta keep going! The idea was to prepare three categories and then collect them during the week, both for the school lunch box and for dinner at home. A carbohydrate, a protein and a fiber-rich accessory. Inspiration from the book Green Kitchen Stories. So I did:

Carbohydrates: rice, millet and baked sweet potato

Protein: oven-baked salmon and taco-seasoned ground beef

Accompaniments: steamed broccoli, chickpeas with lemon zest and olive oil, oven-baked tomato halves and cauliflower with cinnamon and cumin

I also often had an avocado.

This feels like a typically good ADHD trick to get yourself to eat real food instead of having a Snickers or croissant for lunch. Because that’s not possible!!

Hello, it really felt like spring yesterday! I felt as free as a bird when I took the market bag with clothes that went to the tailor. A jacket needs to be shortened, it’s so disgusting when it drags on the floor when I go up the stairs or on the bus. In addition, the spring pants had to be hung up.

My other mission in town was to buy laundry detergent at Blu Kat, but they were closed. I know, fancy laundry detergent IN THIS ECONOMY? But it’s worth it, life is too short not to do it. Went to Gryningen and bought cleaning supplies from Sonett instead.

I thought I would also have a bourgeois bunch of tulips for myself.

Do you know what this is?

It is the cellulose lump from the kombucha. Never stops thinking it’s so funny. I have to poke it. I throw it away with any other brew, the bacteria culture itself lives in the liquid and not in the clump, so it’s fine to lift it.

I hope you have a nice Saturday. Hug
