« is this funny? yes. i think. | Main | dinner for five »
In other news, I continue to shirk chores in favor of cooking. I haven't done much GRE study over the past few weeks, but, as you can tell from the number of food entries, I sure have been doing a lot of cooking. It frustrates me that I'm so willing to put so much energy into something whose benefits are so transient.
Of course, the activity of cooking could be considered a metaphor for the futility of human endeavor in general: you put time and energy into it, you may enjoy it while it lasts, but eventually, it all turns to shit.
Well, if I'm going to spend my time cooking, I wish I was at least getting perceptibly better at it.
Toward that end, I invited Eman over tonight to cook and hang out. Ever since he's blossomed (browned? risen?) into a professional cook, I've wanted to have him over and pick his brain. But somehow it's turned into a dinner party -- Eman invited Brian and his girl. Well, a party's a party.
Unfortunately, I have a dentist appointment in the morning. Have to get a crown. So when it's time to eat, I'll have a sore mouth and will have to avoid one side of it (because of the temporary crown).
OK, I'll stop whining now.
