Oh snap

I haven't picked up my camera in months. I've been thinking of dragging it around since DST started yesterday and we'd been getting spring-has-sprung weather of late. But severe thunderstorms don't really make for picture perfect weather.

Oh, and also, I accidentally disconnected my external hard drive and I can't access any of my files. No iTunes, no pictures, nothing. I just hope everything is recoverable.

In other news, this eating out business has got to stop. Granted, every day is an adventure. Jellyfish? Been there, done that. (Pleasantly crunchy, very good) Vietnamese sandwiches? Food for the gods. I can't believe how much flak pate gets, though. People talk about it like it was MSG. (Vietnamese sandwiches are rolls with your choice of meat, chopped up pickled vegetables, mayonnaise and pate, yum!) Popcorn chicken and coleslaw at KFC? Almost up to my saturation point for it.

I've never learned how to cook. I only know how to make certain dishes: calamari, which I learned from a cookbook because it's one of my favorites; Filipino spaghetti, also a favorite; arroz a la cubana, buttered veggies, tuna salad, from college; and swordfish with stir-fried garlic mushrooms, which I learned to make over the three years I've live on this block where the fruit and vegetable stand is right next to the fish shop manned by the friendly Asian couple. But I should really learn how to cook soon. My dad always told me to scrimp on everything else but food. But I guess I should really start doing that. I probably spend as much on food as I do on rent.
