What do you do when you are stressed?

Stress! A relatively new word in our vocabulary and consciousness. I first heard it in the last century, through the 80's. I didn't know what it meant. I thought it was a new disease invented, a disease of the inhabitants of the cities. A disease of the intellectuals because I hadn't heard any worker or peasant complain about stress.

Then this word began to be used more and more but it was not clear to me what it meant. I still thought that it was not something serious but more an opinion or an excuse for the non-fulfillment of some.

We have to defend ourselves somehow. Not with drugs. The solution is to realize when we are stressed and try to get out of the stressful situation for a while.

To take a break from stress! There are countless ways to do this, everyone has probably behavior to shield himself from stress from time to time.

Work problems, health problems. That means stress. At work, on the way home and at home I think only about these problems and I do not see much exit from this unpleasant situation. This generates stress! The only solution is to deflect thoughts from these problems, especially at home. The only way to do this, for me it works, is to cook. Then I focus only on cooking and think only about what the food will be.

I worked at the same time for both dishes. While I put the bones and the meat to the boil I started to clean and prepare the vegetables.

I prepared the vegetables, I cleaned and cut them into small pieces: cabbage; onion; carrot; pepper; potatoes; tomatoes.

Having the ingredients prepared, it followed the preparation of the two dishes.

Borsh

After the meat was boiled I put in the pot the rest of vegetables: onion, pepper, potatoes and a few pieces of tomato. After a quarter of an hour I added a very important ingredient, called "borsh". He gives the name of the food.

This borsh is obtained by fermentation from wheat grains and is very sour. It should be boiled and added to the pot with meat and vegetables.

To finish this sour soup I add an egg mixed in the cream.

And I'm done

Cabbage with meat

I cut the meat into pieces and I would fry it in sunflower oil.

While the meat is fried I deal with cabbage.Season with salt and shake with hand to be more fragile.

I put the onion and then the cabbage over the meat, add some hot water and boil until the meat is well boiled.

Must boil over low heat for more than an hour. It is best when put in the oven but because I am not at home, I do not have an oven now.

Thus, the only solution is to boil until the water evaporates and the cabbage remains with meat and a little juice.

A good food especially if eaten with polenta.

The desire to get rid of unpleasant thoughts and stress helped me to prepare food for a few days. These dishes are highly appreciated in Romania, maybe they are unusual for you and because of this I wanted to show them here. Maybe someone will be inspired! Maybe someone will want to get rid of stress by my method.

Well, anything can be done to distract attention from what is bothering us and upset us ... ie what causes stress. It must be tried, I think it is the best medication.
