Things that rock

[inulro]

1. Yesterday I cooked up a giant pot of vegetable curry for the week. Thankfully, it is not only edible, but damn good.

This is a result not so much of wanting to eat healthier (though I do need to shed some pounds), but because I'm fed up with the extra packaging that comes with veggie burgers and similar these days. Things that used to come in a cardboard box (recyclable) now come with a load of non-recyclable plastic inside the cardboard box, and it seems to get worse every week. There's zero chance I'm going to cook during the week, so I'm experimenting with cooking vast quantities at the weekend and freezing.

Sooner or later I might even work up to making my own cookies and breakfast bars, which are the other main massively overpackaged products I buy.

2. I have purchased laminates for C14!!! I know, a bit risky considering I'm still in Employment Limbo, but the price goes up tomorrow.

I didn't purchase tickets for the final dinner - I didn't at C8 because nobody I knew was going, but is anyone I know likely to be at the dinner this time?

Big cook-ups are great! I usually drag something out of the freezer on gym nights; there's no way I'm coming home and cooking at 8pm.
