Today, I decided I would try cooking for real. Kind of for real. I made tofu and curry powder hot and put it on pasta because I didn't want to attempt rice sans rice cooker. It wasn't amazing. It was, in fact, excessively mediocre. It didn't have any vegetables and was super bland. I tried putting salt and pepper on it but then it just tasted like salt and pepper, which is something, I guess.
Side note: people talk about how salty things are here, and I have a hypothesis as to why- It's because everyone smokes! Smoking -> no taste buds -> MOAR SALT. I'm basically a genius.
Also today I discovered that I already missed turning in an assignment. Not because I forgot, but I neglected to internalize the due date of 'Friday.'
Oh, and my skin seems to be marred by some heathen pestilence. I wasn't going to tell you until it resolved itself, but not to do so felt like lying. The good news is that the AIT coordinators are amazing and setting up an appointment for me and that having insurance means that I don't have to pay money for it.
While I titled this 'The Bottom of the Rollercoaster,' I am 1) not actually feeling that bad and 2) not experiencing the cultural shock meant to be described by the rollercoaster. Just to clear that up. If it wasn't clear. Yeah.
easiest not bland meal = spaghetti sauce + noodles
