Food and science
Jan. 16th, 2005 08:19 pmYay! LJ's back up! Congrats and thanks to the lj team who worked tirelessly to make it happen!
Because, you know, they did all that just so I could tell everyone that I have a futon now. I bought it yesterday, got it delivered that afternoon, and last night had the best night's sleep I've had for months. I was getting so tired of sleeping on the floor on a thin airmattress. Yes, very exciting I'm sure.
I'm now stocked up on groceries again. I've always thought it strange that you end up spending less money when you have more. Since I got paid on Friday, I had enough to buy several bags (as much as I thought I could carry on the bus), and now don't have to buy food out for at least a couple of weeks. I even got some containers and an insulated bag, so I can cook here and take my lunch in with me to work. Hooray. Aren't you glad the livejournal staff worked for 36 hours so you can read this crap?
I'm constantly amazed at how good food cooked at home can be. Even when you have no idea what you're doing. My recipe books are still in Eugene, so I've just been experimenting at random. I've discovered a lot of uses for soup. One of my favorite things to make, because it's so easy and always comes out well is a chicken dish, made thusly:
( Oooh! Recipe from Pat! Scary! )
Oh, yeah, and Yesterday, no, make that two days ago, Friday, the Huygens probe landed on Titan, and started sending back pictures of the surface! Yay! Our first peek beneath the clouds! Congrats ESA on the farthest away successful landing of a space probe, and to humanity for learning more about the planetary system in which we reside!
And, that same day, the Kansas supreme court ruled that "warning stickers" on any textbooks that teach about evolution, fossils, biology, geography, and other things that contradict certain people's interpretation of the biblical account of creation violate the separation of church and state, and thus are unconstitutional and must now be removed. Hooray! It was, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
