(no subject)
I have a sudden longing for...cupcakes. Of all the weird things. Maybe I will have time/inclination to bake this weekend. (Or maybe I will forget all about this--also a possibility.)
With no major, immediate and seemingly insurmountable deadlines hanging over my head, I am becoming terribly lazy and self-indulgent. Stupid, huh? On the other hand, having a little time to cook. read fiction, etc. now and then is maybe not a bad thing, even at the end of senior year. I made tasty vegan soup this weekend--oddly, homemade soup is the only kind of leftover food that picky me can count on actually wanting to use up, so it's good to make in big lots-- and carnivorous T. actually seemed to like it okay (it probably didn't hurt that I never used the V word). At any rate, much better than takeout and boxed mac & cheese, which we ate way too much of when I was furiously busy a few weeks ago. T. cooks too, btw, but he's rarely interested in trying out new recipes on his own, so when we don't have the stuff for one of his standbys (ie we haven't bought meat, usually) it tends to be either pasta or me improvising. And he does more dishes, which I can't stand doing.
