Got up quite early in the morning, did a bit of novel planning, didn't walk because it was a Friday, and just chilled. I'm riting this two days after on the Sunday evening following so some of the details may be inaccurate. Eat me.
Had a couple of meetings throughout the day, they went well. Meeting with the manager went well. I'm starting on a new team, bunch of catching up with folks from the team, organization of the existing projects. Also on Friday got involved with fermentation projects again as I'm looking for something less long term than the farming project I'm doing but longer term than yogurt-making which takes a day. So checked out a bunch of ideal fermentation projects from the reference books. It seems the indian recipe for kaanji which is fermented beets and carrots with mustard chilli and salt in the water is ideal. Interesting and different than other types of fermentation too because usually the alcohol producing bacteria are lazy in salty conditions but it seems when everything else is dead thanks to the saltiness and the antibacterial properties of mustard which basically disrupts their genetic makeup and makes reproduction pretty impossible, they can be quite active.
For lunch had chocolate and nuts and fruits, the usual throughout the day. In the evening, after work, made a sandwich with hummus, mayo, cucumber, and cheese, which is a classic Nepali sandwich. It was quite good, I should eat more of that. Additional note here: I'm out of hummus, gotta figure out if I want to buy more or make some. Either way it's grocery time. At this point in time, there was literally 'nothing' in our fridge that was ready to eat. We were all very much finished with our groceries so I was making do with whatever scrap I could get by with.
ND was over, roommate PK was watching entourage she wasn't very interested. I got hooked and ended up watching a couple of episodes there. We're in the middle of season four, haven't followed it as well as roommate PK has, have missed many episodes in between but it does get my attention when I sit down to watch. The walking plan was disrupted and I felt crappy because I didn't walk to entire day.
TO make up for it I left for my walk at 8.15 in the evening. Walked to Porter, then to Harvard Square. Chilled by the river for several minutes took in the fresh river air, and walked back at a leisurely pace. By the time I got back, it was half past ten, possibly closer to 11. Youtubed a bit, and just passed out while trying to not go to sleep...I wanted to get in at least a post or two before sleeping but couldn't help it. It was tiring okay guys.
