the one with some food complaints
Jesus Christ it keeps raining. Summer in Australia (especially Brisbane of all places) shouldn't involve me wearing jeans and a cardigan and still being cold.
I have done sod-all work this morning so far. Perhaps after lunch... Idk. If it were not wet, and if my friend-types actually were not working, perhaps we'd go for a drive to the beach. But alas, it is all of those things. Le sigh. This morning I got my Nigella Express cookbook in the mail. Omg the foods man. I plan on testing out the chocolate and pistachio fudge tonight. Not that I'll even eat much. But at least it's something I could make up and box neatly as token Christmas gifts for those harder-to-buy-for relatives (i.e. pretty much everyone except my brother. He always gets the gift of Top Gear). I still have not worked out the Christmas lunch menu yet. My main planning problems are a) my family likes eating things I deem rather disgusting, such as coleslaw and trifle and b) I don't know what items from the Gross List Grandma is going to insist on making. This probably seems really catty but I honestly believe it's better to eat a nice, tasty (yet healthy) meal instead of just a gigantic meal. Ugh and my hatred of salad dressing and mayonaise continues... Now if I can just convince Grandma that it's a better idea to buy a couple of nice loaves of sour dough bread from the bakery instead of those rock-hard little "heat yourself" dinner rolls. Cause those things have nothin' on sourdough.
P.S DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL WHO IS EXCITED I THINK I PROBABLY AM OMG.
