A Fridge Too Far
It’s been a rather cold day today. I even had to dig out my heavy blanket. And wear socks. Maybe summer is winding down. I would not mind. Let’s have some snow already!
Other than that there is not a lot to tell about today. I have been relaxing and doing very little. I feel a little guilty that my appartment is still so messy. I must pull myself together and get everything in its right place. Tomorrow, maybe. Possibly. It could happen!
We will not discuss the football.
Listening to my music puts a joy in my heart. It is R.E.M. at the moment, and it is beautiful. Live music is like candy in audio form.
I said: we will NOT discuss the football. Okay?
I made mashed potatoes today. From powder. Sometimes I prefer the powdery stuff to the real deal. Sometimes not. I’m a complicated banana. I realized that I didn’t have any measuring devices. I needed 5 deciliters of water and so I had to get my brain going. Eventually I found a plastic cup that holds 50 centiliters of water. So then I had to do some complicated mathematical equations. After which I realized that 50 centiliters is in fact the same as 5 deciliters. Isn’t it? Well the mashypotatoos turned out okay so I can’t have gotten it all wrong.
And my fridge is full of bottles of various liquids. I love cold drinks and I love having my own fridge that I can fill without having to leave space for all the horrible stuff my mum always gets. I love not having to fear that something ends up smelling of onions just from being put in the fridge. I love not having to worry about whether the knife will leave a taste of onion on the bread when I butter it. And don’t tell me I’m crazy, it has happened. I have had to throw out perfectly good sandwiches because somehow, from somewhere, a taste of onion crept in. I love having a kitchen where I don’t have to worry about there being or having been onions anywhere. It is a freedom I have longed for.
But for the last damn time, WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THE FOOTBALL.
Okay?!

Gee, just when I was wondering if you were eating the right foods, I see you are eating mashed potatoes (from powder?) We have some frozen ones you add milk, butter, pepper, etc., to and cook in the microwave. They are really good.
Do you have “Farmer’s Markets” in the summer? Where you can buy fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables? We have tomatoes, green peppers, sweet corn, and green beans in our garden. A friend just gave us a watermelon and a musk melon (cantaloupe) today, too. I like this time of year with all the fresh fruits and veggies available.

There is nothing sadder than an empty fridge

Clare Who are you again? :-P I could never forget you, in fact I’m talking to you right now on msn. So what were you saying? HUH?!
Debster – The powdery mashies are very fast and simple to make, although probably not as good for you as the ones you make.
I’m not sure if we have farmer’s markets here.. but in Bazar Vest there is a big ole market place where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Fairly fresh at least, I think. Not plastic shrinkwrapped at least. I am big on cucumbers and tomatoes. And peas and corn. And stuff. I try to eat healthy, but honestly.. I fail most of the time probably. I usually take the fast and e asy way. But I’ll strive to do better!
Fear of onions = Plumitis. I think
max – well a fridge full of onions is sadder. To me. But other than that, I see your point.
