Jan. 29th, 2009 09:10 amWe have a party at work tomorrow, our "after the holidays" party. I decided to bake a Baileys chocolate cheesecake for the occasion. Since I'm going out tonight to see R.U.R., I had to make it last night. That meant I needed to get the ingredients. I went to Trader Joe's on my break. I had an umbrella when I started out from the office. By the time I got there, I had an umbrella handle and a mangled umbrella...canopy? Separate pieces. Yeah. I also got soaked when I stepped where I thought there was a little slush on top of solid ground, but where there ended up being about 6" of slush. I fell, and got wet all over my calves and knees. Gah.
Anyway, the cheesecake turned out to look good but cracked. Damn. I even had a steam pan in the oven. Anyway, I'll make ganache and cover the top. No big deal.
Today's bento is surimi salad, celery, onigiri, and blanched asparagus. Nothing fancy. Breakfast was pretty awesome, though: it was my usual oatmeal with dried cranberries, orange zest, and spices. This time, though, I decided that instead of a tablespoon of chopped nuts, I'd rather have half a cup of fat free Greek yogurt. More protein for the same one point. I decided to top off the cooked oatmeal with it, and it was awesome! Almost like the tarkana I made once, but with oats instead of bulgur. OM NOM NOM.
I dreamed some weird dreams last night: a war that was like watching a movie about a war, my betta building enormous bubble nests, eating leftovers that were in the freezer...a real hodgepodge of dreams.
So, yeah, tonight I'm going to see a play for the first time in ages! Yay! And it's sci-fi! Yay more! And now to work.
