thank fuck for the new year breathing some new motivation into some people. I finally had a sitdown with the new National Security Coordinator for the govt and she's trying to light a fire under everyone's asses and it's awesome. it's also going to be interesting to watch the gender dynamic play against the already weird political inertia and masculinity. some of my male colleagues have already told me they think she talks too much. i think they talk over her too much. stay tuned. also we're supposed to get polar weather this weekend to the tune of -24C/-40F... also also here's a silly blog i wrote about my struggles with acquiring fuckin hot fresh chocolate chip cookies
i wish i was better at updating it. my mom was breathing down my neck all october/november for not posting...
I said something along those lines and received a tut-tut response. nbd. this is why i don't write for money. not great with deadlines on self reflective pieces :)
first of all get at least one good knife, and a honing steel. your fingers will thank you. Next time you make cookies instead of trying to chunk up the chocolate, if you scrape the top of it you can get shavings, which may work a lot better. just a thought? probably way less time consuming.
it wound up being a mix of shavings and chunks. a good knife is definitely on the shopping list though.
no i was more bewildered that it took me so many months to find measuring cups?? i was so certain it was a scheme by all the bakeries here to keep people from making their own baked goods. and then when i found them i did a little dance right there in the aisle i was so surprised
