Vegan but not PBWF
adapting from
Sourdough Pineapple Upside Down Cobbler
1/2 cup coconut oil
2/3 cup turbinado sugar
1 can crushed or sliced pineapple, drained )what size can?)
2 cups sourdough starter
2/3 cup turbinado sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the butter in a 9×13 pan and put it in the oven to melt.
Meanwhile, mix the sourdough starter, turbinado sugar, and salt.
Remove the pan of melted butter from the oven. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the butter, then place or spread the pineapple on top of the sugar.
Mix the baking soda into the sourdough batter, just until mixed, then quickly pour the batter over the pineapple.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Recovery Day

Banana bread
Coronation chicken
Palak paneer
Quinoa bowl

I made banana bread with walnuts before the bananas got any more freckled. They finished around ten and cooked, and for some reason I was still up, so though I had eaten three large meals, I decided to have a slice. And another. And another. Maybe another, lost count. All with butter. So delicious.

I probably turned an hour later. And had my first experience with acid reflux. I could not believe how it burned my throat. My stomach, my whole abdomen, felt overstuffed and uncomfortable. I ended up in a chair until 2:30 in the morning.

Yes, I know it's ridiculous how the slightest health mishap fills me with shock and awe.

So today, I just wanted to recover. Food was not that interesting after the pain. I decided to drink lots of water but not eat until dinner.

I made a Costco run; With any luck I won't need groceries again for two weeks. Costco has social isolation done right. Lot was only a third full. Customers stayed six feet away from each other. Clerks were strategically stationed to help or advise and see the rules were followed. After each check out, a young woman sprayed and wiped the customer side of the checkstand, including the credit card paying device.

I made the girls Coronation chicken salad sandwiches from the rotisserie chicken for lunch.

For dinner I made palak paneer and served it with various leftovers. I had the girls finish off the coronation chicken. DH had quinoa, chana masala and palak. I didn't want to eat anything too rich, so I had a quinoa bowl with a little rotisserie chicken, chickpeas, spinach, cranberry, and tahini sauce. DS are the rest of the chicken with broccoli.

Hopefully I kept the meal small enough. I'll have breakfast tomorrow and dinner, but I might skip lunch.
