Today I am going to Chantal's dorm to watch another episode of Wie is de MOL?! and I am curious to see what she will prepare for dinner. I had some great leftover cannelloni for lunch wrapped in a leftover tortilla. I would say that, in general, I think fusion (i.e. what I understand to mean mixing different kinds of food together and calling it new) is pretty dumb. Just pick a cuisine, perfect it, stick to it and, most importantly, don't mess it up! Jochem does not agree with me on this. Sometimes I wonder if anyone does, but that's okay. As a self-proclaimed food snob I reserve the right to have biased and unsubstantiated opinions about food. But despite this opinion, I suddenly decided today to put Italian food into a Mexican (is it indeed Mexican? Sorry if I just inadvertently offended tons of people!) holder. It was really nice and it reminded me of my good friend's chicken tikka massala burrito. I also had some tea with some leftover English pudding. Sadly, yet again, I have no pictures to prove it to you. All in all I had a pretty good day though. I had breakfast in my pajamas and read Lonely Planets before hitting my new bike. I now have a bike in my living room. It is indeed quite the monstrosity, but I am grateful to the mother-in-law for letting me borrow it. Last week I was so fed up with having back pains all the time and with my stomach just getting bigger and rounder every day that I finally gave in and decided to exercise again, despite my detest of the concept. I now combine biking with my hatha yoga five times a week (or at least that's the plan - perhaps I shouldn't jinx the plan since this is just day 1, even though I've managed to do yoga five times a week since July). I just had to do something to get back in shape and since the swimming pool I used to go to is closed due to a bacterial infection, a gym is too expensive, and my doctor pretty much forbid me ever to run again, here I am. Biking in front of the TV. I have even, and I am a little bit ashamed to say this, started eating less food than usual AND I am now choosing some low-fat substitutes. Jochem probably hates me for it, and I must say that going back to putting low-fat milk into your coffee after you've grown accusted to the full-fat kind is no fun at all. Yet I feel better than last week, which I guess counts for something. But I must run - I am going to use my 'real' bike to get some more cotton underwear from the HEMA, since I believe that I have finally surpassed the stage where I can truthfully say that thongs are "just as comfortable as normal underwear." Not to burst your bubble, men, but women who say that are liars. All of them.
Sorry for this rant.
