Two days in food

I've been having issues recently with cooking: I've been hungry, and even had ideas of things to cook, but lacked any motivation to get that cooking done for just me. It's lead to a lot of stupid eating, where stupid is "bits of marzipan" or "slices of cheese" or "some dried figs" or similar no-prep foods. I'm not sure where the disconnect is, and it's been a bit concerning, because that's not how I usually work.

However. A friend pinged me to do some canning yesterday (Monday, that is; stupid staying up too late...), and that got me moving in the kitchen. Before he came over, I went to the Butcherie and picked up a bunch of animal-based proteins; I'd realized I hadn't had any form of meat in weeks, and it was featuring prominently in the things I wasn't making (but kept thinking about).

The particularly satisfying part of this cooking was that except for the proteins, everything was stuff I had on hand, from the farm share or in the pantry. It's the time of year to cook down the fridge (er, the contents thereof, not the appliance as a whole :-) before Passover, and it felt like I was using things appropriately. The down side: I'm totally out of onions now.
