After sleeping til 11:30 this morning, I figured the day would feel wasted or at the very least rushed. I tried to counter that by immediately tackling the first problem I encountered: the mass amount of light filtering into my room. Granted, I had a blanket over my eyes to block out the morning light and realized that comparably the light that was seeping through my curtain was probably not as bad as my newly uncovered eyes though, but I jumped up anyway. I found the other curtain (the other half of the one already hanging) and messed with the curtain rod and all my shit between it and myself until...success. A little less light will be penetrating the gloom of my room.
Then I went to get Sandra who at this point in the morning was starving and eager for us to get groceries. So we did that and the impending lessening of my pockets got that much more real. But a girl has got to eat, and I am not an exception unfortunately. Sandra cooked up some spaghetti and meatballs (I went without the meatballs though they smelled really good) and some garlic biscuits. Then we went out for gelato at a cute cafe across the street from Mothers. I had a scoop of mango and a scoop of pistachio and one of mango and Sandra had one coconut and one mango. We ate our top flavors a bit more than half way and then swapped because I really liked her coconut (I really liked the pistachio as well, a lot of flavor to it) and she really wanted more than a taste of the pistachio.
So now I have a tub of tofu and no idea how to do anything with it. For starters, I couldn't find it in the grocery store no matter how hard I tried. I ended up asking some poor girl in the beauty section of the store expecting her to simply explain where it was. Instead she walked me to the complete opposite side of the store where the produce is and inexplicably, the tofu as well. Then I was stumped. Soft. Medium. Firm. Those are the options one has when buying tofu. Unfortunately, I have no idea what that means in terms of cooking so I paused for a good while, staring at these option words as if they could reveal to me their secrets. That didn't happen so I just went the Goldilocks route and picked the medium with some minor hope that I can figure it out.
