The car stopped working again. Wasn't able to get a jump til closing time, since I was ringed in on all sides. (Stupid me, I thought my car might work, ha.) Thankfully my mother was back from Wisconsin, and after I dropped my car off at the repair place again she took me home, and then dropped me at work and picked me up the next day. This time it was the alternator, and it cost $457 to fix.
Yeah.
My replacement W2 arrived today. Hopefully I'll be able to get at least one of my taxes done this weekend. (Thank God I am down to one W2 this year, last year I had 4 and it was not pretty.)
I'm trying to work some vegetarian dishes into my diet, as well as some actual cooked meals, since most of the time I eat fruit, yogurt and low-fat microwave dishes. I worked on one this week, stuff tomatoes with in garlic and shallots with egg inside. It sounded delicious, but came out really sad. I'm not sure what went wrong exactly, I tried to follow the instructions to the letter, but it tells you to leave the shallots and garlic in the bottom of the pan while the tomatoes cook, and then when I did they burned, so everything tasted burned. And the eggs were rubbery. About $10 and most of my evening down the drain. I don't know how people try knew recipes, when it's so expensive and can so easilly turn out wrong. I basically need a new cooking apprenticeship.
