is drooling over the smells coming from the slow cooker. Split pea and ham soup, only a few hours to go.
@crumpet I have $39 Optus, but IIRC it’s gone now. So far 500MB data is PLENTY. I use maybe 200MB at most (since I have wifi @ home & work).

Inspired by Eileen’s site this week, I bought a ham hock and a bag of split peas last night to make crock pot split pea and ham soup today. I put it in this morning and the whole house has been filled with the most wonderful smells. A few hours I ago I was researching remedies for cold sores, when I discovered that you should avoid foods high in arginine while having an outbreak. What has loads of arginine? PEAS. So I had scrambled eggs on toast for dinner while Snookums partook of my beautiful soup. At least I know that it freezes well, and it’ll still taste good in a few days when I’m all healed up. Still, MEGA FRUSTRATION.
Faramir as Jerry Springer?? Now that’s just weird.
Crap. You know what you really DON’T NEED when your self-esteem has already taken a beating? A frickin’ cold sore. It’s early stages; I’m going nuclear with the lysine and Zovirax. (Interestingly, I only get them when my system is stressed. Am I getting sick? Was it my lack of sleep last week courtesy of the cats? Was my depression over the diet situation the cause… or just another symptom?)
is waiting for an SMS from my mother-in-law, who’s coming into the city for lunch. She’s bringing me a pudding basin for my birthday!
feels like the only USian on the Internet who hasn’t filled out a bracket or watched a game. I couldn’t even name a team in the tournament!
suddenly discovered the reason for my bad week: a shocking lack of BEER. Luckily it’s Friday, and I aim to rectify the situation.
@randomknits FAN-EFFING-TASTIC! Congratulations!
woke up with suspicious headache. Oh great. Cold sore forming. WHY? Now going to feel like a scabrous leper all week. Off to get Zovirax.
took the “How Asian Are You?” quiz. Huh. I’m a “Twinky.”

TrumpetHero. ZOMG. That should be a real accessory. And people should be watching YouTube videos of me tearing it up on Expert level RIGHT NOW.

TrumpetHero. OHMYGOD, WANT! I need to play “Sweet Home Alabama” on an electronic trumpet.
Snookums is threatening to hide our scales again because of the way they can wreck my entire self-worth in two seconds. I just don’t understand how I can work out five times a week, guzzle liters of water every day, cut out all snacks and fizzy drinks, eat nothing but three square meals a day (with no seconds) and STILL gain two pounds in three days. Obviously it’s not a real gain; either my lower number was false due to dehydration (which means I’ve essentially stayed the same weight for the past week), or my higher number is false due to water retention (for no comprehensible reason). But WHY? I haven’t done anything differently. I need to live in a universe that is controllable. I need to think that 2+2=4. Because to accept otherwise renders this whole exercise pointless. If nothing I do makes any difference, why not give up?
Yeah, he probably should hide those scales.

My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
We have the Harold McGee book, v interesting and often useful. Right up his alley I reckon!
