Just finished making a chorizo, tomato and mushroom quiche and it's pretty good. I suspect it's hard to mess up quiche, short of forgetting the milk or putting sugar in instead of salt. I once ran out of milk and made up the difference with vanilla soy milk, and it still tasted good.
This morning I've been moderately domestic. I started laundry as soon as I woke up and got two loads out of the way, and tidied up the kitchen a bit. I despise doing laundry in this building, not because it's always busy (although it is sometimes) but because there's only one of each machine and it takes FOREVER to get through loads. I guess I got spoiled with the last place; there were two machines on every floor, so I could do weeks worth of laundry in less than 2 hours.
This is dull, I realise.
The depressive episode of the weekend is over, largely because I saw/talked to a bunch of great friends on Sunday and Monday.
Sunday I met up with TP and Jill for dinner at Burgoo. I've got to say... so underwhelming. I only had a few bites of mine and traded with TP and picked at hers. I don't know that I would go again unless I wanted soup. Made plans with Rachel to watch a hockey game next weekend with my little buddy Augie, which I'm really excited about. My two alma mater are playing each other. Should be a good game.
Monday I met up with my guybrarian friend Rich after his interview at the library. He and his pal were 4 pitchers into the afternoon by the time I got there (a detour thanks to a package issue with the local postal outlet put me an hour late), so conversation was animated. They almost talked me into going to Vegas this weekend, but work kept me out. It was a lot of fun, and we made plans to go to a Giants game this weekend, hopefully with our other guybrarian friend.
The reason I was late was because of the aforementioned package. I hoped it was my glasses; it was not. It could be even better, depending how disturbing you find it.
The back story: I saw an ad somewhere for a product sold in the US and wanted to try it. It was so intriguing that I bought a 3-pack of it and paid the ridiculous shipping cost with the idea that I can give two of the three away as Christmas gifts. I haven't tried it yet (I've been waiting on its sister product that a friend got for me in Seattle before I open this one), but will as soon as I find some tomatoes. I would actually like to go to Seattle sometime and pick up specialty flavours and try to go to Target and get away from Vancouver for a few days. Since I have virtually no work yet for December I could probably do that. In theory.
Cripes, I wish I could stay home today. Cramps are kicking the crap out of my lady parts.
