Since this is primarily a cooking blog I will regale someone with my dinner last night. After realizing that perhaps my steady diet of fried fare and meats will kill me sooner or later i decided to use my cooking prowess to change that. So last night I made some chicken in a white wine, leek, garlic, pepper and lemon sauce. The sauce consisted of nothing more than the above with a little olive oil. Then we had some asparagus with the sauce on it, it was awesome. Damn, now I'm hungry, rightfully so all i have had to eat today is a cliff bar and a half gallon of coffee (ok not a half gallon but enough). I am back on a work out kick that hopefully will stick, I feel like it will because I am starting to enjoy the pain and fatigue that comes along with a good work out. Also, I really dont have anything better to do. I either work out for an hour or so or play video games for an extra hour which honestly my ass doesnt need that.
In efforts to eat more like some without a culinary death wish I am trying to refocus the mainstays of my diet. I am actually trying to invert the proportions of my diet. From almost non-existant vegetable consumption to a majority. Which should prove interesting for my body to shift from a processed grain and red meat dominant diet to one of poultry, seafood and vegetables. I am probably going to eat a baby by the end of the week... maybe.
So for the small percentage of people who know me and the even smaller percent that know me and read this, there has been some job troubles as off late. About a month ago the owner of the company I work for came to me and the office manager and said that he wasn't sure about the health of the company and suggested that if we had another job to take it. Reading in between the lines here, get the fuck out while you can!!! This has lead to an indescribable amount of stress while i desperately try to hunt down a job that I can do. Most jobs out here in the Midwest are either sales, general labor or some obscure shit that research physists can do. Whats a consultant/tech person to do, I am to gentle to do general labor and I don't have a PHd in Quantum fluid mechanics or whatever that job posting was for. So after a week or so of doing some serious network milking and resume spamming, I got two hits. One is a general tech support and bench work the other, which i am more excited about, is a technical consultant for a finance firm :D, I am excited. This should prove to be awesome, truly awesome if i get the job because I can finally cook like I want to, using materials that I can actually afford to use and have access to that fresh stuff.
It is now going on 2 hours and I still haven't had any human interactions. I wonder how long until i spiral into a disassociative hallucination where I can't determine the difference between my existence and a that of a highlighter. Kinda like having a 0 Charisma score in D&D. Perhaps I'll crack open that orange I bought, that'll occupy me for...not long at all.
