An occasional series for 2014

 I often use this blog as a space to express frustration and get out anxieties and fears. Over the new year period I saw a suggestion of keeping a jar and add to it, over the year, successes, achievements and happy moments written on scraps of paper and open and read all those bits at the end of the year. I love it as an idea but bits of paper and a jar doesn't suit me so I've decided, when I can, to make a record of things I've done or which have happened that make life better.

Things I've done this week that make life a bit better;
Monday: Danced in the queue in Morrisons whilst listening to Patrick Wolf. To start with it was unconscious but when I realised I kept right on boogying.
Tuesday: Ate mashed potato with my hands. Delicious.

Oh yeah, eating with your hands is awesome. Every time I hang with my Filipino relatives I'm reminded that I should do it more.

That said, I've never tried it with mashed potato. Must do!

It really is dependent on the structural integrity of the mash - mine was on the firm side so it was possible to dip a finger and come away with a fluffy blob. Also it was mash I was surreptitiously eating whilst some other components of my dinner were cooking which somehow makes it all the more delicious.

And yes! Aside from how delicious every meal I ate in Malaysia was, the joy of eating with my hands for about a month never wore off. Haven't found any decent restaurants who serve food in a eat-with-your-hands way in the UK
