pantryslutI sat down last night with the intent of writing. Well, I didn't write, but I did put together and send out four submissions. Now that's creative procrastination for you.
I also got around to making my corn saute, which was excellent. Stewed the cowpeas with a little slab bacon, also excellent. Ate all of the above with two fancy sausages, one wild boar and one duck with figs. Steven liked the latter more; I liked the former.
I need to make some veggie stock sometime soon and convert unwieldy bags of vegetable trimmings into neat containers of frozen liquid. I am also almost due for a chicken stock session, though I have a big vat of that still in the freezer.
Thursday I will convert the disk of dough that Steven made over the weekend into a peach tart. I need to buy some ice cream.
I am nattering. Cooking makes me burble.
In other news, I may have decided what my next tattoo will be. Of course, I say this every few years, and nothing ever happens. But this time I mean it.
While we're on this topic, I still need to go get my ears pierced. Time to make an appointment.
And I need a haircut.
Even though I do not have an assignment yet, working with temp agencies can be very rewarding in the self-esteem department. I know it's just their job to be enthusiastic and friendly, but there are three or four recruiters out there who seem particularly thrilled to have me and anxious to place me. It's a nice change from moping to myself that I'm unemployable.
