I meant to post this earlier but got busy and sidetracked (nothing new there). On the same evening that she cooked the alfoil-wrapped fish and potato bake, Jac also panfried a couple of chicken thighs, simply rubbed with salt and pepper, for making sandwiches with. Unfortunately, as the chicken was frying I poked around the […]
This was dinner on Wednesday night. Jac made a potato bake, with lots of onions, a little bit of cheese and a teensy bit of soy milk. She served the potato bake with shark filets, flavoured with herbs, loads of garlic and butter, and baked in the oven wrapped in foil. She baked me a […]
I’m up at this cold, dark, crazy hour writing because I’ve decided not to exercise this morning on account of a sore left foot. It better not be Gout: The Return (it probably isn’t, it’s just that the soreness is around my toe joints where toes meet foot, and this reminded me of the gout […]
I’m listening to the new Dixie Chicks album, Taking the Long Way. Jac was a Dixie Chicks fan way way before I was. But they have really grown on me. I listen to them all the time when I’m working at my desk in the office at uni and often have to fight the urge […]
So, as you’ve probably guessed from the multiple postings tonight, I finished the chapter. Well, it’s sort of finished – I know I will have to go back to it and fix a few um, shortcomings. I emailed it to my supervisor this afternoon, telling her I’d appreciate some suggestions/feedback. It ended up being 43 […]
On the weekend: Jac’s grilled SPAM and cheese on toast. She also had plain grilled cheese on toast. I believe the cheese was gouda. She likes her grilled cheese a little overdone, I think. I like it still bubbling and slightly more gooey. She’s content to let the crusts go black and eat around them, […]
When I woke up this morning it was cold and raining. The sky was really dark, like it was evening. I soooo wanted to get back under the covers and go back to sleep with Jac and the cats. You know how lovely it is to be warm in bed, listening to the sound of […]
Thank you everybody for your comments/emails! (And keep ’em coming! I love reading them!) I promise to respond to all the comments here and to reply to the emails, but I am still working on that chapter (I haven’t exercised for two days. I have been sitting here typing with my Mickey Mouse gloves on […]
Right now, I’m listening to an old favourite cd I haven’t played for such a long time – Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette. I forgot just how good “You Oughta Know” sounds played really loud on a Friday night, drowning out the washing machine. This cd reminds me of the time I worked at […]
While we were stuffing our faces with our Mothers Day lunch of roast pork and brownies with double cream and ice cream, the poor cats were in hiding on our bedroom window sill. The kids tend to get over-excited and chase them, so the cats have learned to stay out of sight whenever they visit. […]
