I'm feeling far better than this morning, and I'm taking steps to make sure I don't dry out again when I go to bed tonight.
Today's excitement took place in the kitchen! Here are the recipes I made today:
Tuna Salad
Combine a forkful of mayonnaise with a 6 oz. can of tuna, drained.
Casserole
Boil pasta. Fry onions (and ground meat as available, draining fat). Open can of stewed tomatoes. Cube cheese. Combine, and zap in microwave until cheese melts.
Failcakes
Whisk together two egg yolks, a bit of flour, a tiny bit of sugar, and a splash of soy milk. Realize while the outside burns in the frying pan and inside remains uncooked that it didn't work.
Raspberry Muffin Tops
These turned out well! The best part is, the batter is safe to eat because there are no eggs! (I hope there's not a difference between whole wheat flour and whole wheat pastry flour... I didn't see any variety of "pastry flour" at the store...)
Chocolate-Blueberry Tart
Mmmmmmm.... The very first crust I ever made turned out well! (However, in this recipe as well as the previous, I had to add some emergency extra liquid ingredients to incorporate all the dry ingredients.) The chocolate-melting step was my favorite part! At the very end, I made a heart out of white chocolate shavings. It's totally gonna win the Valentine's Day bake-off at work (raising money for the American Heart Association). :)
Yesterday, I finally went swimming! (I learned AFTER the fact that there's a direct passageway between the locker room and the swimming pool that doesn't go past all the people lifting weights and doing yoga.)
Funniest locker room conversation / best spontaneous zeugma:
[Someone near me is taking medicine, but drops a pill onto carpeted floor]
Me: Oops! Five second rule, right?
Her: That's not even the worst! This happened to me once at a busy deli, and I dropped it on the floor where everyone was standing. I took it because, hey, better to get bacteria than pregnant.
