You May Be Wondering…

Or maybe not. Perhaps you don’t care why I am showing a picture of a meal I had a few days ago. I am showing it because I am eating the leftovers from the meal tonight! And I can hardly wait. Such a yummy meal! And, if I get daring, I will make a side salad to go with the dinner. Be quiet stomach! I have a blog to write!

Friday’s meal tonight!

I did not want to go dashing this morning. SIgh. But, I did. Of course. Because I am a responsible person. And one needs funds in this horrible capitalistic society in which we find ourselves.

The first dash was ok – as usual of late, I drove way more than I earned in terms of miles. Grrr. One weird thing happened – I got a second order while I was waiting for my first order at a super busy Dunkin. After I accepted it, I got a call from Door Dash asking me to promise to finish the delivery. It was loud where I was, but I thought she said they would give me an extra $5 to deliver the order. Then they would send me an email saying that they had done that. That would have been nice – but I never got it. Sigh.

During my lunch break, I had to do AD rides. He wanted to go to the lake. So I obliged. He also wanted to take his wheel chair – which weighed a ton – and didn’t end up fitting in my trunk. I dropped him at the Welcome Center in Geneva. And about an hour later, he was ready to be picked up again. Sigh. And he left his phone in my car. Double sigh. I took it over to him as I was starting my second shift – but I didn’t get to relax or really charge straight through so my lunch break was not optimal.

I did, though, look through my little freezer to see if there was anything that needed eating or moving to the big freezer, etc. I consolidated three bags of smaller tortillas into one bag. And I found a second bag of corn tortillas. Oops. I also found a mystery bag that I will thaw at some point. I neatened the freezer, but didn’t really reduce the amount of stuff in there by much.

My second dash was ok. I went to Seneca Falls and Waterloo for the second half of my dash. One dash was notable. I was offered a dash at Taco Bell which I took. And then I was asked if I wanted to add a $3.00 dash from the KFC. I reluctantly accepted it. And a minute later, it asked if I wanted to be unassigned from that second, low pay offer. I said, yes! Unassign me!! Woo hoo!!

Now I am home, I have done my Duolingo and am going to eat soon. So excited!

No Comfort Food Today!

Not Comfort Food

I had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch today. And some soup. Someone I told thought that it was comfort food. Nope, not in this case. It was “getting rid of stuff” food. I saw that I still had a slice of monterey jack cheese left over from when I made patty melts all those weeks ago. I wanted to use it up – if it hadn’t become more moldy than cheesy. Turns out, it was more moldy than cheesy, so it got toassed. I also had some extra sharp cheddar, so that formed the basis of the cheese. I toyed with the idea of adding cream cheese to the sandwich, but found the container still sealed. So I left it that way. I did add some pickles to the sandwich – almost done with that jar. And I used two slices of white bread that has been around for a while. Only a few more pieces left. Yay freezers!

It has been a day filled with getting things done. Well, once I got out of bed that is. I had the above mentioned lunch, made my bed with fresh flannel space sheets, did two loads of laundry (one load of which was just a quilt), a shower, a call to my lovely sister (who I caught napping!) and sent off my tax documents to my brother since he has been silly enough to agree to do my taxes once again. And I bugged him about helping my fellow dasher with her taxes as he said he was willing to do them as well. And I have spent way too much time chatting with people online who probably aren’t really the people in their pictures. And some who might be, but are only interested in chatting with me if I send them money or things. Sigh. Someday I will be in a healthy relationship with a real person again. Anything is possible.

Well, that was anticlimactic. I was going to see if I could salvage anything from the avocado and the pomegranate from SM. And, the answers were: no and no. The avocado was mostly bad. I could have gotten maybe two spoonfuls (spoonsful) out of it. And the pomegranate might have been salvageable if I was up for a lot of work. Which I wasn’t. Maybe they will both sprout. Hahaha. So it is back to thinking deep thoughts until taco time. Yes, I am making tacos tonight. I am going to try deep frying a flour tortilla again. Last time I didn’t fry it nearly enough and it was still almost completely floppy.

I have decided that I am going to cook my own duck at some point soon. The duck I have been getting from the Asia Market up in Rochester just didn’t taste as good to me this last time. I don’t know why. Maybe they changed their recipe. Or maybe my taste buds changed. Or both? Or something else entirely. Who knows. All I know is that I am going to give that a break and just make one myself at home. Not sure if I am going to go for Chinese or French style…

Ok, taco time! I am aiming for two corn tortillas and one flour tortilla. Wish me luck!
