mamajoanHere I am back at work again after my week off. It's not as bad as it could have been ... but that's probably because I haven't had a chance to talk to boss yet. :P
Got my new wok yesterday. Picked up a cutting board too, plus a bunch of cooking oils and a selection of veggies. Now all I need is to muster up the nerve to buy some tofu and try it out. :) Ordered Vegetarian Cooking for Dummies on Amazon, on the off-chance that it might have some wok advice. Amazon sent me a 10%-off coupon for my birthday, so I ordered some other stuff too, including the DVD of Better Than Chocolate. I can't wait to see that again, such a cute little movie (IIRC). :)
While I was hanging with mom yesterday, she seemed to start feeling guilty about not having baked me a birthday cake. (hey, we went out for Chinese and ice cream, I wasn't complaining...) So she whipped up a batch of cupcakes, and if you knew my mom you'd know why it's funny how domestic that makes her sound. :) Then I made the frosting, but I got interrupted in the middle, and messed up the amounts, and had to compensate, so that instead of a small batch I wound up with a large batch. Way too large. So mom made me take the extra with me, but that was okay too, cuz once this particular frosting hardens, you can just eat it like fudge. Yum! :)
Cupcakes, extra frosting, maple cookies from Canada, leftovers from Chocolate Day, gift chocolate from Brian and Zil. I can see I'll be spending a lot of time at the gym. ;)
