i live my life in lists. i walk into work and i have one started for the day, i schedule my time according to how i can do five things at once, my orders are lists, and when i leave i always have the next days list started. it never really stops, and while i dislike being at work every day, for not being in yesterday all it did was make life harder for me today.
so, it's just another list today.
1) Fat Tire Ale. it makes me happy to finally taste it again for the first time in seven years. once again, it's the little things.
2) my fallback dinner right now is properly seasoned basmati rice (half cup rice for one, half stick of unsalted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, generous amounts of cumin, a little cayenne, black pepper, and a touch of old bay), two eye of round steaks (seasoned with the afformentioned garlic and onion powders, as well as lemon pepper, and a gentle slather of EVO), and, as my crime against the culinary world, a can of french cut green beans (not sodium free!). the combination of all three, with a properly mixed gin and tonic (one wedge of lime, squeezed and discarded) is just about heaven.
3) i'm making a ghetto bolognase tomorrow nite. have the quasi-fresh sausage now, picking up the beef tomorrow, got the tomato paste and other essentials already. even have a nice south australian shiraz to go with...ya wanna talk about some good sleep this weekend, i've got the recipe.
4) speaking of sleep, my dreams are just really fucked up these past few weeks. i wake up and always find myself going WTF.
5) my chef, whose job i've essentially been doing for the past two months, is essentially flaking out right now. between the theories my GM and i have we have enough conspiracies for several books.
oddly enough, i bet they're all true.
6) taxes suck.
7) i'm and idiot and agreed to an interview with a guy tomorrow at 11. in the a.m. guess what time i scheduled myself in?
8) i don't read because i feel like i'm catching up on years of lost tv (to respond indirectly to you TJ). it's a sad excuse but it's true. i was finally working my way through the Paul Bowles collection i've had for over ten years when i first moved down here but it's got a good layer of dust on its cover despite being on my nightstand since i moved in.
9) i am, despite the above, rediscovering the sunday NY Times. i bought my first copy since leaving Pittsburgh two weeks ago and still can't believe i gave it up. see last line of #1.
10) i find myself talking to people about the places i've lived lately...a lot. but it's different for the first time, i'm at ease with it, comfortable even, and there's no remorse or even wanting to go back, aside from wanting see a few people that i think are still quality. crap, does this mean i've finally moved on?
