This week I will learn how to support myself financially while struggling with long covid, will thread what I learn here, and I'd love if anyone with insight into this can weigh in with their experiences.

I'm reading the Long Covid Survival Guide, and am finding it very helpful. I checked it out online through the local library. Online library services are my favorite thing now.

I've reduced my grocery shopping to 4-monthly. Not due to finances, I don't WANT deliveries. I don't go into shops either.

I'm amazed at how cheap bunker rations are. I eat soy beans, chick peas and dried yellow beans every day, pretty much.

I soak a week's worth for 24 hours in salt water, and after a day of soaking they pressure cook in a pot full of various spices for 3 hours on high pressure.

I've been eating that for 3 years now. Saved a ton, and still delicious.

I threw the recipe up here, in case you want to try it. It's pretty authentic as far as curries go.

The spices are available in large bags from asian grocers, and it's not really expensive. Just stay away from stuff being sold to westerners/white people.

Tastes better than most of the things you'll get from a takeaway!
