#opticook

Not much to report over the last two days. I’m still quite tired in the afternoons and have had a headache most of the time. It’s bearable but I had to have a lie down after I got home today. Obviously I’m also very hungry.

I’ve now tried the Optifast strawberry and caramel shakes, and much prefer the caramel. It seems to have less of the weird aftertaste (however, I did find it to be more lumpy than the others). It’s my favourite so far, but I’m yet to try vanilla or chocolate.

I’ve finished the box of assorted bars now, and I think I will only buy the chocolate ones from now on. I don’t like the ‘crispy’ texture of the others, they just feel grainy to me.

I had miso soup from the instant sachets for lunch and it really hit the spot. I’ve really been missing the savoury umami flavour.

My mum cooked this for dinner, which was by far the most flavourful meal she’s made so far.
