Chickpea-buckwheat cooked, knee pain stops exteneded walk [Sat 27]

mula-jhol and noodles, walk to the park, interrupted walk due to leg-ache, fapar pancakes and chickpea tarkari cooking, evening writing, lots of reading and writing, chhyang processing

Writing this the following evening. This has been one hell of a hermetic weekend, productive but limited in social interactions despite the plans otherwise. Regardless.

For lunch I had mula ko jhol and noodles, separately. Tried frying the shin ramyun noodles from the evening before, turns out they were already over-spiced, and taking away water from them just concentrated the salt and the flavor. As a result, most of the noodles were thrown out, it's fine.

In the early-afternoon, went on a walk to Volunteer park, tried going to interlaken but by legache reared its ugly head, back to volunteer halfway through.

Processed one jar of chhyang by adding sugar and bottling it. Have about 60oz of chhyang. Should be ready to do the rest in the next few weeks. For dinner I made fapar ko pancakes which took forever because I'd forgotten how the flour worked, and chickpea and tomato curry. Yum yum yum, so freaking good. This is what I was missing it turns out, chickpeas and tomatoes in my life, sourness and brightness of the tomato and the heartiness of chickpeas. I feel at home. For real.

Read and wrote a bunch, had plans to go out and about, but didn't, played age of empires for a bit, got 'caught up' with the posts in this blog, and slept at a reasonable time.
