I'm cooking again. It's been a while. My diet had been consisting of fruits which could be eaten with little to no preparation, various frozen items which could microwaved in less than two minutes, ice cold diet coke and Doritos. Oh, and Oreos...I have a taste for Oreos lately.
I've been holed up in my house (pretending to be) studying. I think I've gone outside a total of two times in the past week. It's shameful. When I finally decided to go shopping for real food, my emergency brake was frozen. That gave me a little scare and made me realize how helpless I can be out here in the woods. I got it all straightened (thawed) out and went to the store.
I made a chicken caesar for dinner and some cream cheese wantons for a snack. I over-cooked the chicken...not used to the electric stove - I miss gas. The wantons were really good, despite my not knowing how to get them shut entirely. I also bought some tofu. Here's the thing, you watch enough Iron Chef and this stuff starts to look good. I'm determined to make something edible out of it. If not, I'm pretty sure my dog will eat it...and I'll just got to Arby's.
I'm procrastinating now - should be reading for class tomorrow. It is amazing how taking a week off makes going back seem horrible. More horrible than it really ever was. I have found that some of my most productive moments come when I am procrastinating. I can get all manner of other tasks accomplished while seeking to avoid reading for class...the other things...the things I put off because I didn't want to do them at all, which now seem like good things to do to avoid reading. I need to task myself with something I hate more than law school so that I get my reading done while avoiding that other horrible thing.
WWBD? I'll write to Blachman, he'll know what I should do.
