Bradycardia here, too. Another reason to not skimp on salt.

Partner has low blood pressure, so we also salt things well.

I like salty, I like sweet, and I love sour. Sour gummy sweets are one of my favourite things. My favourite fruit is tangelo. My favourite chips are salt and vinegar. I love citrus juice when it's really sour; there's a blend I can buy right now that has both grapefruit and mandarin in it as well as a few others; it's great.

Tonight is Salmon, Rice, and Broccoli.
I've been keeping my cooking for myself simpler lately; however, making a big batch of Chili with mini Cornbread loaves is worth more effort, then I freeze containers of it too. I started adding Cocoa powder to my Chili, and I think it adds more complex flavor and depth. You can add it to other foods according to this article. Not sure I'd want a dessert Hummus though. ​

I haven't yet experimented with adding cocoa to savoury stuff, though I've thought about it for a while. I can understand how it could work really well at adding depth to flavour.

We had poached salmon (wine and water for poaching), mustard and yogurt sauce, and a green salad. Partner makes a vinaigrette that is awesome.

I love tart cherries, especially in pie. It seems like most people want super sweet cherry pie, sweet cherries in a syrupy sweet glaze. But l like mine tart.

There is a wonderful bakery near me that features different pies on a rotating basis, and they make an excellent tart cherry pie.

Broccoli beef stir fry with brown rice tonight. I put sriracha sauce over my serving.

The tri-tip was really big, so we had halved it before cooking.

Beef dip sandwiches yesterday, stir fry tonight.
