Shrimp salad for a light dinner last night. I haven’t had a very big appetite lately. Yesterday, I ate particularly little. For dinner, I couldn’t even imagine eating anything heavier than this salad.

Once in a while I feel this way, and I just let my stomach decide what and how much it wants. I used to stuff myself silly until my mid-thirties, often needing to lay down after a meal, and in my 20s I would occasionally binge on huge amounts of food and sweets. Back then, my brain was always screaming for more, and I felt like I had no control over how much I ate. That type of voice in your head is loud and distracting, so I’m very happy that I no longer have those issues with food. 🥰

Here is a plate of late night fast food, home delivered on a motorbike. Grilled chicken with fresh cut fries, salad, and avocado. Cost $2.50, including delivery charge.

I eat more fries here than at home. Part of the reason is that here, I can always be sure that the chef started with an actual potato, not some compressed potato powder product. It’s still way too much oil, but at least I know all the nutrients are there.

Another delicious, local meal! The sauce has a whole fish in it. 😊
