I myself am on the verge of some kind of breakdown for international travel + family reasons, having JUST returned from a hellish week to the wilds of British Columbia in Canada, where my brother in law has committed suicide, necessitating what has been a very upsetting trip. As a result of the stress, the jetlag, the grief, the shock and the general psychic distress of all combined, my dinners lately have basically consisted of things like this - a Rum and Rum and Rum and Rum and Raisin; Flor de Cana aged rum, Mount Gay Barbados rum, Sailor Jerry spiced rum, a rounding of treacly Pedro Ximenez, and giant, fat golden raisins that I've been macerating in rhum agricole for nearly 2 years.
One day soon I'll cook again properly, as I struggle to find my new normal.
Love and light to you all.
So sorry for your loss. Young life incomplete is always tragic, whatever the reason. I myself succumbed to drinking martini last night knowing all too well that it will put me into a deep sleep...only to wake up at 3 am. DH shared stale bagel with me like a champ prior to sunrise.
