Rice and Tofu

Rice, brown rice
Cooked in boiling tomato soup
Didn't cook it quite soft enough, but
With some soya sauce
It's amazing.

Tofu, extra firm
Cut into thin square slabs
Fried in a little bit of oil
The more surface area
To cook
The more delicious it becomes
Drizzle some honey garlic sauce
The taste is incredible.

Whoever says they don't like tofu
Either hasn't tried it
Or hasn't bothered finding a way to prepare it
That works for them.

The feeling I get from eating tofu
Healthy
Full, and
Energized
It's the perfect food
That I love so!

Almost Noon

Another day of unemployment.
I'm broke and need work. Sometimes I think about asking for my job back. I lied to them and told them I had another job lined up. I could admit the truth, or lie and say I quit the other job after a few weeks. I probably shouldn't go back, because I was starting to hate it when I was there.

I quit because I needed a break and wanted a more fulfilling job. It's been a month and I haven't found anything.
Well, that's not true, I've found myself in odd little bits and pieces of my world that I'd forgotten.
I am becoming more creative and understanding with each day. I've also had a revelation about what I want to do in school. Whether I'll start this fall or wait til the next one, it doesn't matter, because I know what I want to do. Just with that knowledge, I feel better about being stuck in a crappy entry-level job until I get in.

So, overall it's been a productive absence from the working world, in the figuring things out sense.
But, I miss having an income.
I miss my store.
I even miss working with my ex.

That last one's probably the most dangerous sentiment.....

Shh! It's a secret!

So I've got a blog now, haven't had one of these before. Except livejournal, if that counts. I'm not too sure what to say on here.

This was a relaxing day, I drew a really nice picture of a lady from a magazine. I ate tofu, and it was amazing. I've discovered you really just have to find a way to prepare it that you like. I like thin long slabs, fried a little bit. I like that much better than cubes.

I went on a blind date on Friday. It wasn't a horrible date, but I wouldnt really say it was successful either. He was very quiet, very much an introvert. Anyone who knows me well, can tell you I'm the exact opposite. He didn't have a lot to say, and that usually makes me nervous, so I ended up talking a lot the whole night, and he kinda looked like a deer caught in headlights :P
Well, we met for coffee, and after a little while we smoked some pot in his van. It turns out I smoke a lot more than he does... Then we went to get slurpees, and he got overcharged. Now a slurpee is usually under $2, so when the cashier the cashier said $5.01 (and got huffy about the penny, since he'd given her a $5 bill), I thought it was odd. I was going to say something to her because she was obviously wrong, but I figured I would let him correct her. He didn't though. He asked, and she repeated the amount, so he dished out a penny. I didn't want to say anything after that so as not to embarass him.
What a funny thing to happen. Poor guy. I wouldn't have paid it, I would have asked her politely if she realised she was overcharging me by $4.

Anyway, he was cute, but I doubt we're going to go out again. He seems like a cool guy, but we're definitely not a match for each other.

I'm looking forward to a busier day tomorrow. Mateo and I are going to go job hunting, and then Mel and Jay are taking me grocery shopping later on. Maybe I'll fit Brenda in there too. Gotta love awesome friends!!

Time for bed!
