eaten today:
-one can winnie the pooh pasta in tomato sauce, a la zoodles [1]
-one can campbell's vegetable soup [1]
-half a stuffed quail with mustard-tomato cream sauce [2]
-one slice marquise chocolate cake with dark chocolate glaze and macaroon trimmings [3]
-ice cubes [4]
[1] i'm sick as a dog, likely because of my crazy schedule. i think it's similar to last year when i had a sore throat/cold that didn't go away for two months and i finally went to health services and the lovely doctor told me to take a week off and do nothing. which i did, and it miraculously went away. i have since cancelled all work for this week and am planning on lying around the house and sleeping a lot.
[2] i've sort of been seeing someone for the past two months or so. strange, innit? he's a cuisine student, very sweet, so nice to me (i realize it seems silly to say that explicitly, but you'd be surprised), intelligent, not hard to look at, and is a better cook than me. plus he has a wicked sense of humour and plays the guitar like you wouldn't believe (he actually went to a music school in london), and brings me things that he's made in school, like rack of lamb, stuffed quails, seafood bisques and the like. it works out because he eats the mousse cakes i bring home, since i seem to have exhausted my pool of once-eager recipients of school food. so far he has put up with my sickly whining and has made me many cups of tea, without a single complaint.
[3] we're making a marquise chocolate cake tomorrow, which is a base of chocolate ladyfingers covered in rocher (the filling of ferrero rocher, basically), smothered in chocolate mousse, topped with more chocolate ladyfingers, and then more mousse. glazed in a dark chocolate glaze with macaroons or chocolate discs on the side. yum. let's see if i can get the chocolate gods to cooperate tomorrow.
[4] in my drugged (i.e., dayquil-ed) haze, i opened a car door on my face and split my lip open. I AM SO SMRT! hence the ice and hopefully i won't look like a beaten woman tomorrow.
off to dope myself up with nyquil.
