In between naps and mixing up chocolate muck, I’ve been doing some stuff. This week I’ve…
- submitted my volunteer application to a women’s shelter. I haven’t been officially approved or trained yet, but I did get to go fetch groceries for them. The woman who was showing me how it all works is very high-energy. I mostly just chased her around the store panting and dropping canned goods because I was nervous. About grocery shopping.
- started taking inventory in my kitchen. So far, I’ve done two shelves of cans and boxes. Roaring start! We have a lot of canned corn and tomatoes.
- searched for new and exciting ways to prepare rice*. I made Spanish rice. I’m going to make beans and rice. I want to make sushi rolls from this cookbook, but can I do that with regular rice? Also, if we don’t like them, can I return opened jars of wasabi powder and sesame oil and why is nori SO EXPENSIVE? Is a jar of sliced ginger the same as “pickled ginger”? If I give you rice, will you make sushi rolls for me, please? THIS IS TOO HARD. Thank you.
- spent approximately 16 hours looking at websites of colleges and universities. Because I’m pretty sure I know what I want to be when I grow up.
*We have a lot of rice left after making our son’s rice box Easter gift. Like, four pounds of rice.
Interested in Indian food, you can have plenty of recipes with rice
I’d be interested in Indian food, but I want to use stuff I already have in the cupboard if possible. Thanks, though!
I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up. Good luck with that.
