It’s the little things in life.
I’ve now got a log-book for ‘Project Scrappy Hyosung’
That meant today I was able to get a number plate for it, yay!

Completely legal and above board .

I think I'm getting the cold shoulder from the military type.
Which is a shame, cos ... y'know. Kind of quite nice.
And I understand why. so I'm not freaking out.

But then again ... I need the distance, there's a lot going on psychiatrically that I can do without.
Happy enough to keep an arms-length thing going on there.
We'll see.

Unbothered.

My little old lady neighbour just showed up with a tupperware box of rice.

CARBS CENTRAL!
I've just managed to eat properly enough to go keto ... and she brings me carbs-on-rice.

Rice with potato in it, and peas.
Nothing else.
But so delicately spiced. I can't decide what flavour it is. But its very nice indeed.

She said kind of apologetically but not really that her husband likes butter, and ghee, so theres Quite a Lot of Butter in it.
I tried to keep a straight face when I told her I'm sure that would be fine.

I'm trying to tell myself they are healthy carbs.
Vegetarian carbs
Fresh food carbs.

Delicious carbs *snuffle*

Edit: Its nutmeg, I reckon. I went back to finish it off just now, and its gone cold so the flavour is more pronounced.
Thought it was cassia/cinnamon at first.
But in fact, just now its dawned on me that it was nutmeg.
Slightly peppery.
Awesome.

I did not know that Pegasus was a some sort of an enginey thing.
Now I do.
I am happy to know this.

What I am not so happy to know is that I am competing with it for somebody's attention.

MY TITS ARE COMPETING WITH IT AND THEY ARE LOSING.
My gears should be ground, but in fact this has caused me to have further insight into the male psyche

So that's okay
I'll just get on with the fucking flower arranging and the cooking, then shall I.

In other news, my gears were oiled by the receipt of £3k for a PPI compensation payout that's been dragging on for over a year

Had the whole office to myself today.
Managed to achieve things for a change.
That's a very gratifying thing in the NHS.
Very fucking rare.

I finally plucked up the energy to cook a celeriac and see what happened. Fucking ugly looking thing, more ugly than a swede, and looks overly fibrous. Bugger to peel but no more difficult than a swede in the grand scheme of things.

Turns out, its delicious as mash, with horseradish and ground black pepper.

Slightly "lumpy" in the same way that carrots and parsnips are when you mash them, and apparently you can sieve it to make it more "puree" for various things, like soup etc.

But wow. Even on its own: interesting flavour.
Like a cross between parsnips and celery flavour.

I saw a recipe for celeriac soup with chorizo and [something bland and green], with a lovely red slick of chorizo oil. Now I can't wait to try it out.
