A Rough Night and a Few Recipes

I had a pretty rough night last night. Went to bed feeling very tired and had strange dreams and not a very restful sleep. I had a light but lingering headache throughout the night and a mild feeling of frustration and anxiety. I even had the headache in my dreams. Woke up numerous times to go to the toilet, each time feeling very empty and hollow. I remember looking longingly at the fridge but had a glass of water instead. I think that is plain old Hypoglycemia, low blood sugar (hunger in other words) that is making me feel woozy. It was hard to get up this morning but once I was out for a walk in the dawn I started feeling quite good. For some reason I seemed emotionally susceptible to the songs I was listening to on the ipod, it must have been a combination of the breaking dawn and a good play list. After exercises and stretching and a chicken omelette and lemon balm tea for breakfast I started feeling good. Still slight tension across shoulders and lingering wispy headache.

Here are some recipes from the Inaugural Showing Ribs Compendium of Lofty Meadows Cuisine.

Chicken Omelette Filling for two omelettes.
