Disclaimer: I'm writing all of this in the last week of November, because I couldn't make the writing happen on time. It's okay, I got September done, and October gonna be done in a day. Then gotta start with all of November...at the end of the month. I'm nothing if not optimistic!
The earlier evening I'd brought half a dozen croissants from AS's place and I'm embarrassed to admit how long they lasted. Not very long. That's the answer. Embarrassingly slow. So buttery, so yummy.
For lunch I made an emlet, and had egg and cucumber sandwich inside the croissant.
In the afternoon I did the Interlaken volunteer walk while it was raining. Couple of points, the rain jacket I got for dashain is far too large for me and probably will never be used again. Also it doesn't stop rain, like, at all. It made me worse off than if I'd actually not put anything on at all.
In the evening I made the thai noodles I bought from TJ's couple of months ago. Not satisfied with it, I put it inside the rice paper rolls I also bought several months ago, and made a spring roll. It looked like an oversized condom. It was hard to eat. So I discovered a couple of things this evening. You don't get the rice paper dripping wet. You don't overstuff the rice paper. If you're using noodles, you need to have them be skinny and short, otherwise it's impossible to eat comfortably. Also ideally your fillings will be on the dryer side otherwise they will further compromise the skin of the already weak rice paper covering.
Many new lessons were learned from the successes and failures form this day.
