Coffee #1.
I try to wait 15 minutes after my morning teeth brush before I drink coffee. I do feel bad for the chompers. I imagine they are like vampires if someone pulls the blinds in the morning. I only started thinking about this recently, maybe after a chat with a friend on here. Maybe I will start using mouthwash after cup three instead of before.
I have been incredibly distracted lately. I only worked from 8-1 yesterday and I wasted 2 hours of that doing, who knows. I gave up on working the full day. I’ll pick up some hours tomorrow and work late on Monday to make up. At one point, I was looking up Lizzie Borden, another reading an article about Pablo Escobar’s hippos, and I for sure spent at least 40 minutes looking at peel-and-stick wallpaper. I found a cute one I am going to put in my kitchen. I asked G to do measurements because I suck at measurements, but I think he thought I was joking. Take a look: Bike Wallpaper I am trying to theme my kitchen French so I thought this would be cute. I have a $50 Amazon card from XMas so I am hoping this will cover the bulk, if not all the cost.
Measurements are difficult for me. I don’t know why, but it is something I just cannot grasp no matter how hard I try. I cook and bake a lot, so you’d think I’d have it down. No. When a recipe asks for something 1-inch thick, I legit take out a ruler I have designated to the kitchen. Hah. This information lives in my Brain-Dumb zone. A lot of setting up electronics and coding language is also in there.
Coffee #2.
Tonight we are going to an anniversary party for one of G’s coworkers. I haven’t met anyone that is going before, so I am a bit nervous. It should be fun, though. Some sort of Latin American food, which I am pumped about, should be served. A nice change from the typical Italian fare that is usually served at a lot of events in NJ. Also, one of the only things I miss about my prior job at UAM.
My social anxiety is having a case of the weirds, though. Trying to keep my brain busy today and not think about it. With how all over the place it has been lately, shouldn’t be too hard. I have some crafts I can work on, too.
Coffee #3.
I Love Food:
OMG, I made the most bomb dairy-free pesto cream pasta sauce last night. It all started with my finding dairy-free pesto. Usually, this is something I have to make from scratch— and pine nuts are pricey, I have to wait for the basil to grow enough, more annoyances, etc.
Pasta ingredients: Bucatini pasta, Silk Coconut Cream, Leftover Chicken Cutlet, DF pesto, Vegan Mozzarella, Vegan parm cheese, Goya Cooking wine, homemade veggie broth, Coconut Sugar, Ground Pepper, Onion, garlic, carrot, and cubanelle. And lastly, my total secret ingredient for all things umami, truffle balsamic vinegar, a gift from G at XMas. Holy yum. I made enough for lunch today.
This weekend I am also making some more veggie broth and vodka sauce. I will have to sanitize some jars, which is annoying but necessary.
Plant Life:
I still need to plant a bunch of seeds. G got me Tomato, Chives, Parsley, and Basil. Then I already had some parsley, and also jalapenos and radish. I also think I need to repot the Thai basil. I am unsure though. I have so much of it and only really use it in green curry! Maybe I’ll add some to my broth.
