There are times when I feel like I'm hitting on all cylinders, when I feel competent and productive, and totally on point. Then the switch flips and I feel like a fraud, like I'm faking my way through life. I feel completely incompetent and overwhelmed. And there is this feeling verging on panic that I'm about to be found out for the imposter that I am. Today it was the latter. When I feel that way, I recognize intellectually that this is not a permanent state, that the wheel will turn and the high will return. I've been riding this ferris wheel long enough to know that it goes down and then up again. I just have to hang on for the ride.
Anyway, tonight I got home late -- thank god for the pressure cooker. I cut up a sweet potato and tossed in some carrot. Threw in a lamb steak right out of the freezer and sprinkled some rosemary, a bit of garlic powder, and some grey salt. While that was cooking, I put some blueberries in the food processor with some salt and rosemary. When the pressure cooker stopped, 15 minutes later, I mashed the sweet potato and carrots together with a bit of the juice from the lamb. Then I topped the lamb steak with the blueberry sauce. Yummy dinner from freezer to table in about 20 minutes.
