So. What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Well, there was that whole engagement and marriage in a totally foreign country thing. Bought some land. Oh, and I've lost about 13 kilos so far. Bloody sniffer dogs.
If the food is acidic (tomatoes are particularly bad), leaving food in cast iron causes big reactions with the acid in the food -- rust on your dinner and all the seasoning gone from your cast iron!
This may well be why the English and Americans believed tomatoes to be poisonous while they were being in with relish (or even in relish) in Southern Europe. England and America at the time favoured pewter plates, with which tomatoes would react, while in Italy or Spain they commonly used ceramic, IIRC.
We are very emotional creatures. Take away our feelings and we don't turn into Spock. Instead, we become pathologically indecisive and amoral. You can't separate cognition from emotion.
Isn't it cool? I love this. Therefore I am.
I want a robot maid! Where's my Rosie, I ask you??
IN Japan, assisting the elderly: [link]
Still no hot water. I got all hopeful when a van pulled up out front, but it's someone moving in.
Poor bastards.
My dinner was the leftover chicken lasagne from lunch, cold, ginger ale, and then I'll have my nightly fig & peanut butter on English muffin with a rooibos tea later tonight.
It's pretty evident that I can never be allowed custody of another human being. But my phone sure is nifty.

Bah. That robot can't vacuum.
I just had some brocoli (with onion dip) for desert.
Latest word is no hot water until monday. Which means three cold showers. FUCK THEM.
I'm in that office tomorrow morning, being a complete and utter bitch. Especially since they figured it out at 3 fucking 45 today. They had to replace a complete fucking boiler a few years back when it died friday night. They can do better.
I should really move. I know these things happen here cause it's older and was neglected so long. But good god.
The smoothie didn't hold me, so I made whole wheat couscous with ground chicken, almonds, cheese, and dill. In the microwave.
I am cooking vegetables in the microwave while pan-searing a rib-eye steak.
How do people do prep cooking without a microwave? So easy.
Jesus christ.
Or perhaps more practically, hotel.
I CAN POST!!!
Who fixed my password? Because whoever it was, you're awesome.
