Is it Christmas!?

We were in desperate need of some additional pots and pans. There's no greater frustration while cooking than having to wait for certain pots to be clean in order to start on another dish.

T included a WOK in the delivery. YAY! I had mentioned wanting one several times. Not that I make many dishes that require using a wok but it would be fun to try :-D. Who else gets this excited about new household products?!

We are finally getting SKY internet tomorrow **fingers crossed**. It's been a long uphill battle for T in trying to get us internet. He's had to fight w. SKY for the past three.. yes you heard me right. THREE MONTHS!! They are the slowest company known to man. I thought Comcast was bad. Yeesh.

While waiting for SKY, we've been paying to use BTOpenzone. We've spent lotso'money while waiting for SKY to get their act together. Blergh. Enough ranting for now.

Dinner: Minestrone soup w. veggie burger. Our fridge is EMPTY! Thankfully, I have a grocery delivery scheduled for tomorrow morning.

The soup needed some additional salt, pepper, and chili flakes cuz I like it hawt!

Veggie burger w. mayo, siracha, dijon mustard, and a bit of ketchup.

Making sure not to splatter all over my books..

I appreciate soups with lots of texture. Pasta, beans, carrots, tomatoes, onions. It was definitely a hearty soup.

Dipping of the crust action. Yumm-O.

Snack:

Can't get enough of these Cadbery Crunchies. At only 80kcal a pop, I had two!

Back to sleeping urhm.. studying.

Internet update: SKY INTERNET IS UP AND RUNNING! YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!

Almost there

I had my first weight lifting workout in about 4 days and it feels so good to be back!!! :-D My nose is still runny and I sound a bit hoarse (if only I didn't have this cold and I could have a sexy raspy voice, he he he) but I definitely feel ten times better than the last few days. Must be the workout endorphins talkin.

Breakfast this morning:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup milk
• dash of salt
• dash of cinnamon
• tablespoon flaxseeds
• goji berries and raisins
• almonds
• tablespoon almond butter

Looks messy but it's very warm and satisfying

Lunch: Sainsbury salad bar

There were a ton of options to choose from. You could choose between the S, M, or L tin. Obviously I chose the LARGE.

 

Don't exactly remember all that I crammed into the container but I know there are some spicy chickpeas (my favorite), moroccan cous cous, pasta salad, beets, olives, cucumbers, onions, bean salad.

I left behind the potatoes because they didn't have much flavor and I was fuull! It was a very satisfying vegetarian meal.

Afternoon agenda: Take Noma to the park and study some more. I'll be learning about muscles, bones, and joints today. Fun stuff.
