Had dinner with other vaccinated family today. We ordered take out and ate it at their home. Chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with grape salad. So good to see family without masks.

Spaghetti with a tomato sauce with lots of veggies (mushrooms, zucchinis, carrots, sweet red bell peppers, green onions, garlic, onion, parsley, herbs & spices)!! ^_^

Spinach, rocket leaves and tomato salad.

I'm trying to fast for at least a few days until Easter Sunday (so basically vegan until then), not really for religious reasons (I'm not religious, though I love some aspects & symbolisms of Orthodox Christianity, and of course it's a tradition), but to be able to really enjoy Easter / feel the joy in it (despite the lockdown)! :)

A follow-up to my post from yesterday. Hubby is trying to learn to eat garlic more so I added garlic to the black beans I cooked (he ate three helpings!). Because he loves homemade applesauce I decided to make some since he was a brave boy about the beans. I put the apples on in a stainless steel pot like always but got distracted on a household chore. What's that smell! Oh, yeah. I destroyed those apples and that pot. There was at least 1/4 inch of cemented on carbon covering the bottom of the pot. I told him I burned the apples so that he couldn't smell the garlic. XD

Husband said the only thing left was to bury it. I tried my normal way of dealing with scorched messes, nothing worked. Now to the point because I wanted to share something that worked in case you ever have this perilous pot problem.

Add equal amounts of vinegar and water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer. The internet directions said for 10 minutes (ha!). After awhile I was able to scrape off the top layers. Then I refilled with the mixture and left to boil again, occasionally coming to scrape with a metal spatula. Eventually, I got it down to the point I could use an SOS pad (steel wool) and some elbow grease to finish removing the last of the carbon.

End result, I saved the pot my little sister gave me as a gift years ago when she didn't have a lot of money.❤︎
