note to self

[geekchick]

Things I need to do this week:

• I will do one chapter's worth of homework assigments every night this week so that I can catch up. I will be caught up by the end of the week and just need to go take the exams.
  
• Write more of the snapshots, dwelling on better-adjusted periods of time.
  
• Find the supposed Persian bakery/grocery in Sterling (or try Grand Mart first, since it's closer) in hopes of buying rosewater so that I can make saffron rosewater ice cream later this week.
  
• Remember to soak the chick peas so I can make chana masala sometime this week.
  
• Make doctor's appointment for myself and vet appointment for the cat. Do not confuse the two.
  
• Make sure everything's switched over to gmail and then ditch the Radix account.
  
• Go buy new running shoes.
  
• Bring in too-small clothes for coworker to look through, take others to Goodwill during lunch.
  
• Make sure check for notecards goes in the mail rather than remaining on the counter here "where I won't forget to mail it". *cough*
  
• Don't panic.

"Chana masala"?

[geekchick]

It's one of my favorite Indian dishes, chickpeas in a spicy sauce. Here's one recipe, but I'll admit up front that I'm taking the easy way out and using a store-bought spice mix. =)

And post the results, of course. ;-)

Mmmm... chana masala.

Make doctor's appointment for myself and vet appointment for the cat. Do not confuse the two.

*snerk*

Don't panic.

In large, friendly letters. ;-)

Well, I'll certainly post my review of the results; until they implement DTP (Dessert Transfer Protocol), you'll have to settle.

*duck*

Don't panic.

Prezactly! =)

You mean DTP isn't supposed to come with "Internet 2"? *snaps fingers* Shucks!

[geekchick]

Only if you buy the optional upgrade package for $59.95 a month.

I thought all you needed to use was FTP - Food Transfer Protocol.

Hmmm. Shows what I know ;-)

If only...

*gasp* Saffron rosewater ice cream! *envy*

[geekchick]

Doesn't it sound wonderful? I'll pass along the recipe if you want, I found it someplace online.

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

Yes, please! It sounds fabulous, and ice cream is on my list of to-dos this summer!

Write more of the snapshots, dwelling on better-adjusted periods of time.

I'm looking forward to reading those.

Don't Panic.

Maybe we could not panic together?

[geekchick]

I'm looking forward to reading those.

I'm honestly surprised so many people seem to have slogged through those; guess seeing "TMI" causes people to compulsively click. ;)

And it looks like the Arisia corset picture has been viewed twice as often as anything else there; my friends are so predictable. *grin*

No panic for you, either.

Mmm, saffron rosewater ice cream sounds GOOD!

Homemade chana masala? Is this food porn or what?

I'd like to figure out what that red-orange sauce is that I sometimes see in Indian chicken dishes. It's rich and creamy, not super hot, and just delectable. Perhaps a type of korma?

[geekchick]

Homemade chana masala?

Only in the sense that I'm not having someone deliver it. ;) I'm using a pre-made spice mixture, so the level of effort involved should be relatively low.
