My Saturday thus far....

I did go in to work this morning. I will not claim that I was happy about this, but now my Monday will go easier. Tara was healthy again, so I was able to leave the rice bread production in her capable hands. I therefor made chocolate fudge rice brownies, Mexican chocolate cake, and cranberry walnut scones; after which I called it a day. Tara was impressed by my making the brownies, as we currently lack a hand-mixer and the recipe calls for beating the eggs and sugar together until light--and I did it by hand. I didn't want to tell her that I'd been doing it that way even when we had the hand-mixer, since by my reckoning it takes less effort to beat the sugar into the eggs than it does to hunt down all the the mixer parts. (I am unsure if this says something about my arm muscles, our kitchen organization, or both.)

I had lunch at the co-op and then took the bus home. I have a few dozen things that need to be done around the apartment, but I was feeling tired and lazy and so spent the afternoon mainlining Bleach chapters on the One Manga site. I was quite delighted by [spoiler]'s power-up transformation and as a Capricorn am now claiming her as a spiritual sister. GOAT POWA!

I did get my garden watered, and cooked a fabulous steak for dinner. Mmm. Steak and baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh tomatoes picked out of my garden. Is there a better dinner?


I think I'm am going to sink back into Bleach, as we've gotten to the Battle of the Mad Scientists. Perhaps I should make popcorn first?
