Hello Internet, and how are you today?
I think it's time for a brain dump.
So My Work has now got Sparkling Water in the kitchen, which makes me insanely happy (seriously, there would be bouncing but then I would spill the precious bubbly nectar). This is good as I will now try to live off this and peppermint tea at work to keep me human, thus avoiding the evil caffeine and the expensive orange juice.
Speaking of Work, we currently have 2 people on leave and 3 off sick (2 probably for most of the week, if not longer) which makes the fact we are extra busy at the moment that much more fun, but oh well.
I the big move is only 2 weeks away (and will be starting this coming weekend) I have to be frugal, and also make sure I finish all the food in my freezer before I buy more. I foresee a lot of Salmon and King Prawns in my future. And apparently stir-fry, as I have had it 3 meals in a row (and will likely be my meal tonight and at least one of them tomorrow).
Oh, question for those cooks out there. I'm thinking of making a fish pie (with the salmon), does salmon go with blue cheese, or should I do just a plain béchamel sauce, and not a cheese sauce (I only have blue cheese at the moment)?
In worrying news, my eyesight seems to be going (really, with both parents wearing glasses, I'm not surprised) I'm planning on going to the opticians some time this week, but I'm weary of the price, as I really can't spend that much money. Anyone know how much it is to get your eyes tested these days?
Oh, and one last question, What am I thinking of with the word 'Heliotrope'? (no, I don't mean the flower or colour.)
