Upsets, revelations and food!

Been dieting for the last week, not happy with it, all I want to do is eat a cow. For some reason eating soup and fruit is not the same as burger and chips. I do however desire the body of a super model, or at least a super model who has let herself go a little! The diet therefore is a necessity. Unfortunately I am a person who eats when worried and upset, and with the last two days, I am back off the waggon (the food waggon that is).
A phone call on Monday made me realise just how important our friends are. No matter how many times you see a person, how close a friendship you have, I would never have dreamt of a friend in danger. I would always and will always strive to help all of my friends, and I wish I could help him now. My thoughts are with you.
On a lighter note, we had a meeting with Nathaniel's specialist. Which came as good timing as he has just started having panic attacks! Panic attacks, he's only 4, who has ever heard of a 4 year old boy having panic attacks?! Well apparently the specialist had, in fact they're common for children with autism. I never knew that. I also never knew that children with autism have a lower tolerance for pain, that would have been nice to know a little sooner!
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about my life. I love my husband, I love my three boys. We are as disfunctional as they come, but we like it that way. Sometimes however, as I don't really drink, food is the only answer to a little stress and worry. So, today I have been very happily stuffing my face with chicken paella. And, because I'm feeling friendly, I will share my yummy recipe with anyone who is bored enough to read my blog. Enjoy!

Big pot of happy inducing paella.

3-4 Big chicken boobies.
2 onions.
2 peppers (orange & red. Avoid the green, they're too bitter and not good for cheer up food).
Garlic bulb, fresh not the wimpy dried stuff.
Big manly handful of mixed veg.
2-3 Big manly handfuls of paella rice.
Family sized jug of chicken stock.
Big dash of soy sauce.
Tin of drained chopped tomatoes, for some reason they are more tomatoey than the real thing.
Desired amount of Parmesan cheese. In my case, a whole block of the yummy stuff!

Simmer it all together in an industrial sized wok and you will be in calorie heaven. If you are in dire need of cheering up, home made garlic bread makes a nice comfort blanket.

Now just to invent a recipe for pudding!
