Welcome to Tuesday! As expected, yesterday was bugfuck at work. I did 57 calls, and was sick of talking when I was done. I don't mind being busy, but between the gray chill of the day and the pace of calls, yesterday felt like it took forever to get done. I need to have a little bit of sun to make the day go more quickly.
I was a busy bee yesterday. My sister needs a dessert to take to Greek Easter this weekend, so I was looking up recipes. I found a crustless honey cheesecake that sounded flipping amazing. I'm going to get the ingredients when I get paid tomorrow and mix one up on Thursday to see how it is. If it's good, I'll make it on Saturday for her to take on Sunday. I'm getting a pecan egg for payment. I'm really not religious anymore in any way, but I could fuck up a pecan egg. (For those who don't know what a pecan egg is, it's pecans and caramel around a nougat center. They're pure sugar, and very tasty.
I think at some point, I need to get a kitchen scale. I'm coming across more and more recipes as I move into baking that are metric, and translating that is 1. a pain in the ass and 2. Inexact. So, kitchen scale.
Last night, I made dinner with Jess' help. I had my monthly psych appt, so they kindly cooked the waffles for our chicken and waffles. I didn't have any honey, so used sugar and made sticky sweet gochujang chicken legs, which turned out really well. I saved the sauce so I can have it with my morning eggs. It was spicy as fuck-definitely got the nasal passages opened up, but so good. I was really pleased with it. I was kind of sad that I didn't make more than 2 legs per person, because I could have eaten at least 4.
Sadly, after that, the dog threw up a couple times, so I spent time cleaning that. My sister had dropped a piece of chicken, and I think it must have had a wee bit of sauce on it and upset his tummy. Once he emptied his stomach he seemed fine. Maybe a little off his game this morning, so we'll keep an eye on him.
I'm debating running a game on Friday evening, just a short Monster of the Week game. Jess and some others are going to be playing in their Strixhaven game, so I don't know how much interest there would be. I will think about it.
I'm looking forward to payday tomorrow and taking care of some bills. Gotta pay the car and the couch and the phone, and car insurance. And of course, I need to get the Ricotta and honey for the cheesecake. I'm using this recipe: https://souvlakiforthesoul.com/melopita-recipe/
I think it'll be good. Sounds pretty simple and very Greek. I've gotta get a few things before I can make it, but hopefully it'll be as good as it looks. I'm going to get a cake carrier and a springform pan for it.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get my butt in gear. Everyone have an awesome Tuesday!
