Today is Thursday. I woke up around 5:30. I was at Starbucks by 6:20.
At 6:30 this morning it was 53-degrees. Two days ago it was 103-degrees. It was pretty pleasant in my air-conditioned apartment until the power went out for a couple of hours. I took a shower by candlelight before heading to an al fresco dinner with girlfriends. Luckily it was a very breezy 103-degrees.
I don’t really have anything of substance to share today. I’ve been out of eggs since Saturday. Every cooking or baking or eating lunch idea that I come up with involves eggs. I’ve thought about buying eggs every day this week, but my mom is coming this weekend, so I’m trying to keep my fridge clear for our inevitable Whole Foods run.
I got my hair cut and colored yesterday for the first time since January. It feels really, really good to have brown hair instead of brown hair speckled with gray.
Before: frizzy, multicolored, and annoying
After: smooth, dark, shiny, and with bangs
Not only am I out of eggs, but I dumped the rest of my stinky milk down the drain this morning. Cereal was out of the question, and oatmeal isn’t quite as good without milk. In keeping with the running-out-of-things theme, I used up the last of some farro, steel cut oats, and frozen fruit for breakfast. I simmered 3/4 cup farro and 1/4 cup steel cut oats in 2 t0 2 1/2 cups water until most of the liquid was absorbed and then ate about half of it with strawberries, mango, pecans, and maple syrup. Eggs would have been nice, but this was a decent alternative.
I’m looking forward to Friday.
