Dinner for two

[elfstar18]

The gourmet grocery store where I used to work has a catering program, "Dinner for you." For a fee which now seems reasonable but only recently would have been completely inaccessible, I can pick up two sets of five delicious dinners for my re-heating convenience for the week going forward

Look I'm on LJ! In other news, the catering programs at places like ASS, Foster's, and now Rick's, are indeed lifesavers but do make it a bit sad when we don't have the energy to do creative cooking. So count this as a vote of empathy because I, too, love love love to cook but find myself without the energy for it most days. (In spite of my new, not-as-physically-demanding job.) (And, okay, haven't REALLY had the energy for it since graduating from library school.)

Yay! I don't know what Ricks is. Is it yummy? I'll likely still keep doing ASS because I also get the self-esteem jolt of interacting with people who remember me as a competent bad-ass. (I have to remind myself that just because I was a competent bad-ass at retail --today, I was introduced to someone as 'basically, a white, female Quincy.' I don't even know what that means, but damn if it didn't impress the person I met. -- didn't mean I was happy doing it.)

Rick's is a diner in Durham. I find it very yummy. ASS makes the most sense for you wrt commute and whatnot.

{hugs} Yay for yummy food at least? I have great sympathy for the tiredness and I am very sad that you're not getting a chance to do something you enjoy, but I've never been a good enough cook to enjoy the alchemy of creation. (unlike some people I know who made paneer, was it? I just remember you mentioning cheese cloth and realizing you could make /ingredients/. Not food, but the step before food. I'm still somewhat in awe.)
Anyway, {hugs} and hope for more energy/time/health/etc. Also, look, LJ. :)

Yay LJ! Mmm... Paneer. I am going to do nothing but cook over Christmas break. I am going to make a shmorgastarta. And something that approximates 'pepper imps' for Kiba's party.

Is that that sandwich that is also a cake, because I will help eat that please.

If you are serious, we should make a shmorgastarta date for over my christmas break. I expect the undertaking to be epic, and it would be great to have someone along for the ride.
