It's raining, our power went out, and I couldn't see very well to read/study (or so I told myself). So, slightly depressed and more than willing to procrastinate under the pretense of "knowing what really matters in life," I made beef burgandy. Again. Except this time it was without the beef. (Beef, you see, is rather expensive and why eat cow when you don't absolutely need it?)
Anyway, I made my beouf bourguignon (sans beouf) and felt good about myself. Then I wished that my biggest problem in life *was* forgetting the tomato paste until the last minute, rather than feeling absolutely unprepared to take an M.A exam.
For that short time, I felt ein bisschen froh, and that's what it's about. Eating good food and taking the time to do it and not think about the crazy hoops life demands you jump through every so often (or constantly, like you're some super-agility-sheepdog.) Annnnyway.
Eat well, my friends.
Yeah, the food sounds better than studying. Did you already take the exam? If so, how did it go?
ReplyDeleteWhy did you never cook anything that extravagant when I was living with you! Maybe because I would have gobbled it all up...
ReplyDeleteNo! Exam is in FOUR weeks and I am majorly panicking!!!
ReplyDeleteValerie: I don't know why I didn't make anything like that before. I think my procrastination skills have improved.
Darn, Laura and I could have helped you with those skills back then if we knew that there was room for improvement!
