Got up early, relatively speaking at 7.30 in the morning and wasted my time until work began. This was lovely as it's been a long time since I used that part of the morning for anything useful. Listened to podcasts.
Work was busy with meetings mostly. A very productive meeting with manager was had where I talked about my potential transition to a different team. That's a work in progress since I'm getting bored with the work I'm looking at right now.
For lunch I had two apples and banana. It was so refreshing. And several handfuls of nuts.
After work I went on a nice long walk to Porter, for an hour, and came back with like eight photos of flowers etcetera. Sent a bunch of pics to people and got photos of their flowers -- this sounds wrong but people were taking photos of cherry blossoms outside -- as well.
Back home I made a wild dinner, took me two hours to finish and all. It was quite involved and I don't know if the work is worth it but in conclusion I'd like to say that the outcome has been quite edible and not bad at all. Basically it was three red onions, two whole garlics, a large ginger, all sauteed, with a pound of the most expensive goddamn tomatoes I accidentally bought at wegman's the other day. Added two cans of chicpeas, mashed them a bit so they weren't as aggressive-looking, and added tonne of lime juice. Added more onions in the end, and four serrano peppers. It was not spicy enough.
Had the concoction from above with mashed potatoes I made -- six large potatoes, one stick of butter, a good amount of cheese, and several spoons full of garlic powder. A little salt as well, but not enough.
It wasn't bad, honestly I was going towards the right direction for sure. I need to make minor changes, make better mashed potatoes -- since this was the first mashed potato I'd made all by myself, without looking or following any recipe of sort, without proper equipment or raw materials -- and cut the ginger better so I don't have to eat hairy ginger. Besides that, the concept things to be fine.
Watched a few episodes of various series, mostly kim's convenience.
It was soon bedtime, I used too much internet, tried writing and got about two posts in, both quite short before my eyes couldn't hold it anymore and it was midnight. I could have held out but I wanted to get the sleep cycle in control so I let it go and fell into the lap of sleep goddess soon after twelve. Good sleeping hours at last!
