Can I make it a hat trick?
Two days in a row.
Two nice meals.
Am I on a roll?
Last night I cooked a bolog. Very simple. Turkey mince, a clove of garlic and half a large onion. Fry (in olive oil of course, and not too much) for a little while and add Passatta (sp?). Simmer for fifteen minutes and serve with a small amount of pasta. Salad on the side. Yummy.
Tonight was "curry". The remainder of the turkey mince cooked with two dessert spoons of mild curry powder and a clove of garlic. Add the remainder of the onion from yesterday and a leek. Two "mild" chilli's chopped up and added for a little bit of bite. Add some of the Passatta from yesterday to ensure it's not too dry. Add a little more curry powder (I think it was one and a half spoons) and then mixed it cooked rice. Perhaps a little too hot for me, and a little dry, but still quite nice. And there's a whole load left for Rat to have for lunch tomorrow.
Yesterday Carole (my boss) more than suggested that she should be able to get me a casual contract at the end of March. She's been able to get some more funding to extend the project she's working on. She doubt she'll be able to get a whole year. But it's really good money (better than DEFRA). And, on top of that, I think there are better long term prospects. I keep saying this don't I? Perhaps I'm just trying to convince myself. But I have a gut feeling about this place. I had the gut feeling when I was interviewed for the job a month or so back.
Work is, however, driving me mad right now. It's mainly because I'm not familiar with the work and at the moment only have a limited number of jobs I can do. So I'm often twiddling my thumbs, or doing really annoying jobs. At the end of March Carole and Laura (and Nikki, the girl who I'm covering for) are going to be in Scotland. What will I do for two days on my own? I'm worried it'll drive me mad.
We apparently had a power-cut today. It must have been a long one. We realised about an hour ago that we had no heating, and when I checked the boiler, the timer was over an hour behind. So it's quite cold right now. Brrrr.
Just been listening to the "groundhog day" episode of SG1. I love that episode. Next is Angel, and then Nip/Tuck, which I might have to listen to whilst washing up.
I'm reaching for things to say, and yet life hasn't been dull. Not that I've done much but I've not not done anything, if you know what I mean.
Talking of hat tricks, I have managed to go on IRC for three days running. I'll probably go on later tonight as well, but that will only be for a short amount of time.
