Blimey @Fatdog !! It's an extra tough challenge you've set yourself there! Not only doing the fasting thing, but undertaking all the experimentation, working out, shopping, cooking for neighbours and friends, scouring of charity shops for cook-books, pondering, growling, tail wagging, research, note taking, posting late-at-night, posting support onto others threads, and all in that very considered, inimitable and humorous way that is *instantly* recognisable ....
Dogged is not the word, you remind me of our long-passed and loved Scottish Terrier - for steadfastness, application, persistence, character - and also boldness, stubbornness and sheer bloodymindedness! You have kept this up for more than SIX MONTHS, which must be a record in itself ...
So give yourself a break, go out tomorrow and search out your latest *want* on that ever growing cook-book list and ... BUY IT, take it home, tell OH or whichever of your friends and neighbours are around, that you are TAKING THE NIGHT OFF, curl up in your basket, and read and relax ...
Otherwise it will be
Silverdarling's multiple wet fishes raining down, which I can assure you will be a lot worse than @janeg's
one big wet one!!!!
