Hey there everybody (and I mean everybody – yes, you too. 😉 )
News:
Um, not much. I’ve been working and playing City of Heroes [and CoV, thanks, Rob] and cooking lately.
The other day I did this with onion, carrot, brocolli, cauliflower, potatoes, garlic. Instead of salt, I tossed them with Mae Ploy red curry and olive oil.
Once cooked, transferred them to a stock pot and added Pacific’s creamy tomato soup in the tetrapak. Delicious.
I usually make this “Tomato Curry Vegatable soup” by cooking the veggies in a bit of curry and olive oil in the pot first. The roasting way is FAR superior in both flavour and time considerations. The carmelized bits add a dimension to the soup that is well received. Yummers.
This weekend we need to put away all the Christmas decorations. I know the house is going to seem bare and lonley once they go away. I’ll have to fill it with the smell of cooking, I suppose.
In other news, I’ve applied for a position at PSU. My exact job description for my IT career-track that I was on previously. It would be nice to be making what I deserve again.
Also, I’ve been extremely tired of the internet culture lately – the idea that “everyone is a critic” and I suppose the underlying idae of criticism and opinion. I think at the base, Opinions are worthless trappings of ephemeral illusionary meaning. I wish we didn’t spend so much time about personal reaction and judgement to external objects (and more precisely what we view those reactions to mean). I just don’t buy that the analysis of a person’s taste has any objective meaning in any sense of scale, grand or small. I guess I’m mellowing and getting more accepting in my old age.
I’d better get back to work here – it is Friday and a some old friends are coming up this weekend to visit. Neither has seen the house since the Tiki Room went in, nor the bathroom. We’ll need to clean up a bit tonight.
Cheers!
Yay for clean bathrooms!
indeed

That’s easy for you to say with your IMPECCABLE TASTE and fabulous decorating and all =)
well, I like it and it is nice that you do as well, but really it doesn’t matter objectively.
To say, it ends there and I tire of people’s use of like tastes as basis for further introspection/judgement/reasoning. Taste the the end of logic, IMHO.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts was the vegetable of the week at work this week. So yum, I ate them almost every day.
