Friday: something I never thought I'd burn

Tonight I was making curry (and using up the potatoes). At one point, I need to heat some vegetable oil and then put flour in it. In the past when I've done this, little bubbles appear when it gets hot.

So this time I was waiting for the bubbles to appear. And waiting. And making sure the burner was on. And waiting some more. No bubbles. Finally I decided it had been long enough and started to put the flour in. It stank like burnt food, and the flour even looked burnt. So I threw it out and started again. It turns out that the little bubbles only appear when there is an "imperfection" in the oil...like a little piece of meat from the main dish. But when your pan is perfectly clean, the oil just starts to heat without the bubbles.

And the quilt progress - I've quilted about 1/4 of it.

Thursday: long week

It's been a long week. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.

Wordless Wednesday

(hahaha)

Tuesday: puffs

I had my yearly eye exam today. I passed. Phew.

The nice lady that was working the pre-eye test stuff let me off with only one eye puff. I have such a hard time with that machine. She first said that she was going to do three puffs in each eye. Talk about torture. In the end she just did one puff in one eye.

Part of the problem is that I don't know when it is going to come, so I squeal a little bit after each puff. The other problem is that my eyes just don't stop blinking. I try really, really hard to keep them open, but on the puff machine they just don't pay any attention to me.

*Blink*

Monday: time for dinner!

This is how I described myself right before dinner:

"I'm very a little hungry."

It's a weird feeling, only being hungry for a small amount of food but being really hungry for it.

Sunday: rarely seen friends

Today we were planning on seeing two rarely seen friends. We spent a few hours in the afternoon playing Dominion with Luke...we hadn't seen him in several months so it was nice to catch up. We were going to meet Laura for dinner at Texas Roadhouse, but the dumb airline overbooked her flight and she got bumped. We had frozen pizza instead and didn't get to see her. :(

Saturday: laundered money

Ben and I were about to leave for an event at church, and he can't find his wallet. We're looking in all the normal places and trying to figure out where it was last...and then I find it in his pants, that I just washed. I laundered some money today.
