Writer's Block: Home Cooking

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I enjoy cooking as a hobby, but lately I haven't taken the time to do as much - I've had too much else going on. The most recent things I've made were a delightful pasta primavera with fresh home-grown spices and fresh-grated romano cheese, lots of garlic and olive oil, and a loaf of Irish soda bread. Simple but most satisfying. Since I haven't a garden at the moment, most of my veggies are frozen organic ones - my challenge in buying fresh veggies is to use them before they go funny.

Last time I went to the grocery store, I came through the checkout line with:

1 box of Raisin bran
A quart of skim milk
2 bananas
1 red lettuce
1 tomato

The girl at the checkout said to me, "You must be single!" I asked her, "You can tell that from what I'm buying?" She said, "Nah, it's just that you're really ugly..."

Bleaurgh...

It's been 4 years since I had new glasses - and finally was able to get a new pair today thanks to my Federal tax refund. But getting used to my new prescription is making me feel a bit woozy.

I shouldn't complain, it will be nice to be able to see again. Hopefully the adjustment won't take more than a week... I don't want to be feeling on the edge of vertigo as I drive back East.
