cooking experiments and boredom
I am alive and nothing much has really happened. B won't be going for hair cuts w/ me tomorrow -- it's turned out he has two retreats that he has to do posters for next month and he was out of it for several days this past week due to allergies, as a result, he doesn't think he has the time for a jaunt to Wilmington. Ah well.
Speaking of allergies, my sinuses have calmed down once again and it would seem that instead I'm just being afflicted with lethargy like whoah. Not quite mono levels, but wow. I want to sleep about 12 hours straight and when i don't, my muscles feel like I just participated in a marathon. Gah. stupid ragweed. Oh, and stupid endust (what they dust the work building with) too --- every thursday and friday it provokes coughing and sneezing attack. Yesterday, I kept walking by the janitors too, and so by 3 pm, I was itching so bad it wasn't even funny. Getting home alleviated it somewhat, but showering actually set it off again until I broke out the jojoba oil (which is much stickier than baby oil, btw).
Cooking wise, I have had success. Cooked some squash on top of chicken earlier this week and that was yummy. Also bought a roast and decided to make a mock stew since I had some veggies that needed to be used. Plopped the roast in the pan and slathered w/ spices (generous amounts of oregano, basil, salt, pepper, parsley, rosemary, and thyme), cut up green pepper, onion, squash, celery and a tomato and threw in. Added enough water to cover the veggies so they wouldn't solidify on the pan and tossed in oven. The broth is rather weak, but it is all pretty yummy! And the mashed potatoes are devine too --- that or the butter I bought is corn-ified, I'm not sure. Mmm..
Presentation on wed went fine. Journal club to start next week and boy do I feel like I've landed in academia lite. Gaaaah.
Oh, don't forget, sweet charity is open through tomorrow -- so far, 10 grand raised. Also, new designs have been added to the sweet charity store -- proceeds of the store go to defraying the costs of running the auction itself (server and bandwidth and all that jazz).
TV front, Gossip Girl was actually more entertaining than I predicted. Almost through with Dexter S1. Must revise thesis this weekend before I have to start missing out on fun premieres.
