Zucchini baking night: bread, brownies and crisp, all made with monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar, crisp uses almond flour and pecans instead of oats. #diabeticdesserts #zucchinibread #zucchinibake #zucchinicrisp #zucchinibrownies #nosugaraddeddessert (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRYINSjnblu/?utm_medium=tumblr

My fave fresh flowers from Bloomers at the Market! They make me smile, which is much needed in what has been a super stressful month! #summerblooms #gerberadaisy #bloomersatthemarket (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQTxKe_H7aI/?utm_medium=tumblr

And now Derek isn’t even using the part I carried! (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUFH2QH9fw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Helped Derek carry this 4x8’ 3/4” plywood 1 km across London. Probably not the recommended post-vaccine activity. #strengthtrainingpaysoff #questionabledecisions (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUEeDSH32e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Halfway through step 1! #indoorbbqing #keto #porkbelly (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CON_zYun8ej/?igshid=18v7bgksqie0u

Finally barbecuing the pork belly I got from Sobey’s last week. My apartment smells so good today! I’m making it three ways: 1. Roasted and wrapped in parchment/foil (recipe by Chef John); 2. Rub with hourly spritz (recipe by Hey Grill Hey); 3. Rub and whiskey injection (my own spin). #indoorbbqing #heygrillhey #chefjohn #porkbelly #keto (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CON8LtmHv4q/?igshid=eu1wmd63mks8

So far, not impressed at all by the new concierge service that did not return within 15 minutes (of me waiting, not them being gone) and that does not have any system in place to actually alert me that a package has been delivered. Apparently, I’m just supposed to intuit it. #drewloliving #majorinconvenience (at Downtown London) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIH129HsNF/?igshid=17lt5tykwwa81
