Food glorious FOOOD

My life has been busy lately. The Christchurch quake generated a lot of work at work, which meant I came home completely shagged. I’ve made it to all-but-one of my dance classes, and that one after I’d taken the day off sick so I felt I really shouldn’t dance.

The next speech I have to give (work’s sent me and a colleague on a course run by Toastmasters) is supposed to showcase body language. As such, I’m going to talk about learning to dance. This can only end well. Or possibly badly, if I manage to fall on my arse.

This weekend, I decided to find my way back to my kitchen. The dishwasher has broken, which makes it a bit messier than usual depending on when Tobermory last found motivation to actually do dishes. But today I got up, cleaned all the dishes leftover from last night’s dinner, and then cooked.

I have made a test batch of sugar cookies (pending a fundraiser at work) which are delicious, especially given that they’re the first ever sugar cookies I’ve made; marmalade (I don’t even like marmalade but this is DELICIOUS), and spiced orange sauce. Both thanks to Jexia who let me raid her orange trees. And I forgot all about the load of laundry that’s been sitting in the washing machine since 11am. Then I eventually hung it, and have just realised (at 20:40) that the second load of laundry is still in the washing machine. Sigh.

And now many metres of sausage casing are on their way to my home, because the only brick & mortar butcher I can find that sells them is half an hour’s drive away and I can’t be shagged going there on weekends. Trademe to the Rescue for collagen sausage casings! Have I ever mentioned that I seriously love the internet? And also my Kitchenaid?
