Tonight I went with another almost ‘prepper‘ type meal but it was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend. Conversation with a friend you question? Aren’t we all meant to be social distancing?

No added salt roast pork belly and vegetables

No added salt you read. Yes, well while Yummy Lummy is not the place to share my personal health status, it’s not a secret that I have mild hypertension which is managed with medication.

No added salt

This week I was listening to the NEJM Journal Watch Podcast and episode 255 was titled “Salt talks”.

The podcast cites a meta-analysis in the British Medical Journal.

Which basically concludes I should not add salt to my food.

There is nothing special about tonight’s meal or this post. I’ve been so busy I’ve not been able to find inspiration in anything I want to cook so when I went grocery shopping I picked up a steak and some salad stuff.

Prawn scallop and speck fried cauliflower rice after a relaxing Saturday at home

Prawn scallop and speck fried cauliflower rice

Today was the first day since the long weekend that I’ve been able to work from home and not go into the office. I did dial into a teleconference but I got stuff done. The grocery shopping was relaxing. A walk to the shops for a coffee was relaxing. Watching some TV was relaxing.

Dedicated to a friend who gave me moments of light hearted joy during the week.

Reverse seared steak isn’t something I do very often. I usually sear first and then finish off the cooking in oven.

Dedicated to SARS-COV-2 which causes COVID-19 because I got home late and didn’t have time to cook the steak by sous vide.
