Huh.

I hate that you hide things from me. You make me feel untrustworthy, like I am not worthy to be with you. You make me feel ashamed of myself. You make me feel like a user. A liar.

Fuck it. I've spoken about this enough times.

BRING ON THE CHAOS.

Life would be easier if I couldn't cook

I made mayonaisse today. It was easy. ^_~ .

Bread bread bread with every meal O_O. Toast is such a quick breakfast.
Lunch was also a stack of toast drenched in guilty pleasures like bacon, tomatoes and potatoes dressed in a white vinegraitte, followed by a sneaky little piece of cake. Late lunch was a fried curry rissole *sigh* and so for dinner I ate a bag of salad. Yes, a whole bag. But.. more vinagraitte... :( It's been a pig-out kind of day. I quite think a cup of something digestive to shuffle this meat through would be good -_-
I'm pretty sure around three A.M. I'll go eat more salad, more oil, more balsamic, more salt. MOAR BREAD O_O_O_O

The rissoles are in the freezer, unbreadcrumbed. I don't think I'll bother, it will be nice to bake them and enjoy their half meat-to-veg ratio, mildly curried flavour and internal breadcrumb stretching agent :P Perhaps with some pilau rice and greens, no?
Tonight's dinner was (can you guess I used up some mince?) meatballs is a spicy tomato/lamb stock sauce. Yet to get the OH's opinion, but maybe if I hide the tomato flavours a bit more tactfully.... bah. Meat is meat. Rice is rice. And there's plenty of both, k?

Honey Mustard Buns.

4 tsp caster sugar
150g/5½oz plain flour
½ tsp sea salt flakes
1 x 7g/¼oz sachet easy-blend dried yeast
3 large free-range eggs, lightly beaten
75g/2¾oz butter, slightly softened, cut into cubes, plus extra for greasing

That is V. Warner's recipe for his yeast buns. *giggle*. I plan to incorperate a little english mustard into a honey soak-up saucey thing, and put some black mustard seeds into the batter.
Nom. Nom.

Balanced Diet

Just a snippet of my seriously lacking diet. This is more of a reflection for myself for next summer when I WILL BE BASTING MYSELF IN VEGETABLE MATTER AND FRUIT COULIS.

I'm also blaming a throat infection for my poor diet.

In the last week I have eaten -

A large pack of Pickled Onion Monster Munch.
About two litres of spirit.
A loaf of bread.
Fried rice.
A block of tofu.
Six litres of coke.
Seven tablespoons of Marmite.
Seven tablespoons of Pure spread.
A gherkin smothered in Salad Cream and Ketchup.
Some instant noodles.
Curried chicken and beef. More fried rice.


Oh, and one salad.

Kay.. House Rules.

I know this is super grouch. But I feel like being pro active, so here are the house rules.

-The only places to pee are the bathroom and the back garden. You can pee in the bath if that kind of situation arises. Drunk/drugged mass bathroom trips are rare but as long as everything is kept cleaned it's kosher.
-No flushing the toilet after people have gone to sleep. 2.30/3AM we just leave it unless you have to take a shit ^_~
-No stealing from this house. My closest friends have done this as well as strangers. I tallied up the costs with Jan recently - we're talking almost a THOUSAND pounds worth of things in the past few years. I do not want to have to keep everything locked up. Ask, and I will lend/burn a copy/suggest a library/shop.
-The kitchen is off-limits unless you want a drink of any kind or 1/2 slices of toast. With permission, you are welcome to make a meal or finish leftovers. We do not deny food to anyone who visits.
-I will usually cook. If you choose to eat you take your own damn plates up to the dishwasher, scrape them into the bin and leave them by the sink.
-We do not deny shelter to anyone who needs it. You may always find a place to sleep here. However this rule of the house is often abused, and this house also belongs to someone who works and needs their own space too.
-You may turn up unannounced at conveniant times or in emergencies. Emergencies include A&E's, deaths, extreme inebriation, missing persons, births, malnourishment and homelessness.
-My bedroom is like a tiny studio apartment for Mike and myself. Treat it with respect even if it is a mess. Just because ashtrays are tipped over and laundry is everywhere it doesn't give you the right to fuck it up more.
-I will happily allow people to shower and do laundry here.

Nimble Mumble

Crap jesus do I ever have a hango'er. I'm tired and I have drugs I still haven't even taken. What with the house being completely void of life, save for myself and a few pets smearing themselves into couches, I have turned all the lights on and put some Tori Amos in the CD player. I've also put on some clothes to go out in, but the chances of me being anything but a grizzly bitch... well. There's something comforting about the sound of a regular favourite CD being played through the CD player and not the amazing computer speakers with bass unit. I like the scratches in the disc. I like the tinny echoing. When I am left alone I feel better, but I cannot stand being lonely and this house is big and dark. Night is descended. And in my body I can feel that we are definately in for an early arrival of autmn, despite the pleasant weather. Still, it just makes the start of a new year in Samhain even more highly anticipated.
Gods I feel sick.
Sometimes everything feels shit. Today is not one of those days. I have been invited to two parties and to visit friends. Unfortunately I absolutely wiped out by drinking copious amounts of inebriating beverages. -_- What I need most in the world right now is a big bowl of autumn soup, a curl up on the couch with a duvet and a cuddle, some pile of classic cult DVDs and perhaps a few joints. I'll make Sunday that day. All I need to do today reeaaally is go to the shops for a few items of nom nom so I can make nice lunches :)
So the plan for Sunday is to buy some plain black work shoes that are pretty ^_^, ensure there's something nice for when Jan gets back (i.e. no food plastered to walls), try and pick up a little dro, go over to Arseniy's house to cook some dinner, come home and curl up on the couch with movies. Maybe I can convince Mike to play along. He already committed to coming shopping with me. HAH. SHOES!
Now, I think it is as good a time as ever to make a shopping list.
