Today is my last day of freedom. I celebrated by going into work and meeting my adviser. And tonight, I will go to church. Alas, there is more. I cooked. Roast eggplant + garlic + salt is a very happy combination. As is crisply roasted chicken skin + salt. And crisp chicken dripping croutons. I picked up a trick from the Times a few months ago (don't I always?) of putting a piece of bread under the roasting chicken, thereby making the bread delicious and the pan wonderfully clean. Of course, I should have remembered this while I was roasting the red pepper-- the pan is still a mess, but at least it's not from the chicken. Oh, that skin was so crisp. I want to bake up a whole tray of nothing but salt and pepper with skin. For the time being though, I'm free, and wonderfully content.
Josh: Did you get a new lunch bag?
Moi: Huh?
Josh: Every year at the start of school, I always got a new lunch bag.
Moi: I'm getting a new backpack.
Josh: I feel like we should send you off at the bus stop tomorrow. And take pictures.
Mandy: And give you apples to bring to school.
Thanks for the ceaseless moral support, Full Time Work. I'm sure going to miss you.
