Groceries

for the last week and some, i've been eating out or eating gautam's cooking. the situation needed to be rectified, for the sake both of my independence and of my stomach (which is still not quite 100% after the bout of food poisoning i suffered in cuba).

there is nothing better, in my opinion, than a stocked kitchen just waiting to be raided.

bananas, grapes
chana, rajma
mushrooms, tomatoes, red/orange peppers
avocados, peas, asparagus, spinach
tofu (super firm, cubed)
onions, scallions, ginger
soup (mmmm, soup)
ciabatta rolls (to go with soup)
coconut milk
pre-chopped stir-fry vegetables (for thai curry)
empanadas, pierogies (mmmmmm!)
lipton teriyaki and thai sesame noodles

tomorrow's goal: edamame replenishment. shop 'n' bag needs to start stocking it, stat.

Interiority

reading hamlet for the 18947th time will get you thinking about inner wiring, for sure.

after this morning's lecture, i was wondering whether it's possible to teach, really teach the play today, when everyone's heard all about it and been taught it before and watched branagh or hawke or someone else play the troubled procrastinator in the movies.

well, sometimes the trick is to scan it all, line by line.
