"What I Cooked Today" Day 79
Today was another busy day at the Feekes/Sijbesma household. Jochem and I don't exactly have an attic, but we do have a pretty big space above the staircase filled with junk. My job for today was to detangle said junk. The result? I threw half of the stuff away, one quarter consisted of camping gear which was taken by my dad to Almelo for our upcoming Provence trip (my dad happened to be in Utrecht so we had a nice impromptu lunch down the street across from the park), and the last quarter has been cleaned and is now sitting in the storage space. After that I still had the energy to cook. I made white rice with sautéed garlic, spring onion, mushrooms and parsley, held together by the three magic ingredients of lemon juice, spicy olive oil and creme fraiche. However, since I quickly returned to the 2138018038th episode of Dawson's Creek I was watching, I forgot to take a picture, so you'll have to imagine the end result yourself. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to do something really dumb, namely cutting and filing my nails. I have to say, this grooming ritual feels, on an emotional level, the same to me as dusting my apartment: utterly annoying, excruciatingly time-consuming, but (unfortunately) very necessary (you can only scrub dirt from under your finger nails so many times a day). I can't believe there are people in this world who actually like to do this, let alone made a career out of it. Sorry for the rant, but it had to be said.
