Back to the gym

Back to the gym today. I hadn't been there in a week, so I felt kind of sluggish. Did only 10 min of running on the treadmill, but everything counts. Did 40 min of weights and 25 min on the exercise bike as well.

Went to the supermarket afterwards and did my weekly shopping. It's just me and the old folks during the days... And maybe some students. But there are not any long queues at least.

For dinner I made another batch of creamy mushroom risotto. Feeling that rich texture of cheese and rice together is so comforting.
Nigella Lawson was right when she said that risotto is comfort food. Resisted the urge to open up a bottle of wine. Instead I used some vermouth for the risotto. Couldn't help thinking about my old comrade in arms Marie-Aurore when I brought out the bottle. It had to be a French woman who thought me to drink vermouth and martinis... By the way, there is an interview with her in the March-April issue of E-commerce & VAB. You go girlfriend!
