beansideGood lord, I'm sleepy. I did not sleep well in my sister's bed at all. I mean, I pretty much expected it, but still. It's definitely going to be a high coffee content day. Also her bed is much firmer than mine, and my back is sore. That'll probably work it's way out, but for the moment, it is somewhat unpleasant.
I'm looking at my finances today and trying to figure out where all the money went. (I mean, I know, it went to rent, but it's annoying. I have groceries coming, and the bills for the week are paid, but beyond that, everything is going to be tight. I'm tired of being strapped for cash, but until I get my car paid off, it's going to be snug. Especially on the second paycheck of the month. Since the car comes out of the first paycheck of the month, I've gotta pay the incidental bills in the middle of the month.
Part of the problem is that I had to pay for the Verizon Fios installation this week, which was $200. On the plus side, in 11 days, I will get a gift card from them, that'll pay the bill for the next two months. That was their compensation for having to charge me for installation in the new apartment. I'm looking forward to that. It'll only be $75 for a couple of months, but it'll help.
I probably shouldn't have done the milk delivery this week, but you need some bright spots, and getting those two bags of goodies are mine. They inevitably have some tasty things on their list of treats. This time I got some fruit and veg and our gallon of milk, plus some chocolate dipped pretzels for Jess. I'm looking forward to it, and making some tasty side dishes with the vegetables. I should have ordered an apple or two, since I saw a great kale recipe with apple and bacon. My sister's friends gifted us a big bag of kale, so I'm trying to find ways to cook it. I've never been a huge fan of kale, but then, I think I've only had it boiled to within an inch of it's life. I might like it if it's cooked properly. My mother was many things, but an inventive chef was not one of them.
I got more cabbage to fry up. I'll probably try a different recipe this time. Gotta see what works for St Patrick's day. We're primarily Irish, and my sister's big into our heritage, so I will make her corned beef and cabbage for that day. But I refuse to just boil everything together. I've gotta find a good way to cook corned beef, though. There's got to be something better than boiling the shit out of it. Maybe braising. I'll look into it. There's still a couple of weeks til then.
Tonight, I think is leftovers. We still have a pork tenderloin to eat, so I'll probably cut that up and maybe add some gochujang BBQ to the regular bbq it already has. That might be good. For now, though, I'm off to make some breakfast. Everyone have an awesome Thursday!
