the pasta @tyme

You be the judge.
my plan was to caramelise the onions, but we didn’t have whatever that ingredient is that you need for that, can’t remember name, so I just fried them off in some butter and garlic then added brown sugar, kinda to caramelise, then added cream, but I meant to add coconut cream (just thought I would try) but I forgot until I started poring regular cream so I did half and half, half cream half coconut cream, added sundries tomatos, meant to be sundried but I bought semi sun dried so that added a bit more oil into the mix than I hoped, but once it simmered down it was ok, added chilli flakes. Added to pasta.
So we got a brown sugar, coconut creamy, tomato weird thing that was almost bordering on the begginning of a curry @tyme

What a pleasant concoction of a pasta dish lol @ArraDreaming  Love it!

By the way, when you caramelise onions, I thought it just means you fry them until they are brown... 

By the sounds of what you mentioned, caramelise means also adding sugar? I'm intrigued.

[ArraDreaming]

Nah you need balsamic vinegar and brown sugar @tyme
well you can defs do it other ways but that’s how I do it

Hi @ArraDreaming   @tyme   @LostAngel 

Hi Jay5

Full credit to you to manage shopping while feeling down.

I would celebrate that.

And if sitting on the couch is relaxjng, that is fine.

Small steps are good.

I am more a snail than a tortoise.

Great effort

Hi @ArraDreaming 

Sorry to hear your heart is racing and feel unwell.

Can you try listening to music or tv for 5 minutes.

Focus on it for 5 minutes.

Let all other issues rest for 5 minutes.

Or drink a glass of water very slowly focussing on the water.

Try and shift focus. Sometimes we overthing issues.

Jay maybe you need to find a way to relax and stop overthinking
