Made me some delicious soup this week, which basically consists of onion, swede, carrot, turnip, a vege soup mix, garlic sausage, a ton of garlic, sage, rosemary, Misc Herbs, chicken stock, curry powder aaaaaand I think that's most of it. It was really nice, and I froze an ice-cream container load of it for later consumption, next to the nuts and berries that I've stashed away for my mid-hibernation snack.
Unfortunately, the epic soup has given me epic gas. I'm glad Annah is currently in Levin for the weekend, because frankly if she was here, I'd now be mourning my tragically dead partner of four years, who was dutch-ovened to death in a terrible accident early on Saturday.
Today I decided to take another step along the road of being a total tea snob. After enquiring at my favourite cafe as to what brand their delicious earl grey tea was, I tracked it down at Davies Trading and came home with two over priced bags of tea total earl grey. I think I'm in love. They even sell these awesome little tins so you can have delicious loose leaf tea in your pocket! I don't know if it's possible to be a tea geek, but dammit I'm willing to try.
Been reading some new comics on the interwebs, namely Wonderella which has been consistently hilarious and Lucid TV which I'm still not sure about - it's great in places but crosses the line into bad taste more regularly than I think I can be bothered putting up with. Still, virtual reality prostate exams have kept me reading for now.
Also reading: new blogs! Namely, blogs about gender and feminist stuff. My main reading is currently feminism 101, I blame the patriarchy, pandagon, and a couple of online books (currenty Utilitarianism). Thanks to everyone who suggested these to me; once I've spent a bit perculating over some of the presented ideas, I'll post another ramble in my livejournal.
Also included for completeness sake is the art of manliness, which despite often being silly and talking about things like kicking down doors and camping, also speaks about how many modern men are feeling confused about their place in the world, so it's interesting to me to see how this is being discussed. Plus it's a guy orientated website that doesn't have scantily clad women plastered all over it, so that's a plus.
Finally tonight, I leave you with Bling H20. You too can drink grossly overpriced bottled water, complete with Swarovski crystals and nestled within the airbrushed butt cheeks of some faceless woman! Are you bling? ARE YOU? Ohhhh marketing, how I love and hate you at the same time.
