I'm Back Baby!

So sorry about last week to any loyal readers that stuck with me through my bought of self-pity and lack of posts. To those who've left, I understand. I'm back now though! Chalk full of optimism and happy as a Santa Claus on crack at Disneyland getting laid (Friends reference). Had a nice, relaxing weekend and hit the ground running this morning. I've already set up two appointments with recruitment agencies for this week and actually heard back from an online application I just sent in this morning. Woot woot! Things are looking positive. I have resigned myself to temping over here and I am happy with that. There are much worse things I could be doing than temping in London for two years ;)

I actually had a moderately productive Sunday too, in that I actually got out of bed before 2 pm and managed to finally get to the store and pick up my microwave! I even went out again and bought a little table to put it on. Now I can cook as much as I like and then reheat my left over for days!! My aunt and uncle don't really do leftovers so they didn't use their old microwave and right now they don't have one at all. I've been dying for one for weeks now cause there are some things that you just can't reheat in the oven (like rice and stir fry) and there are times when I'm hungry now damnit! I want to pop my food in the mike and eat in the next 2-3 minutes. So now that I can, I've got cooking fever! On my list for the next week or two are: fried breadfruit with smoked fish (this is a Caribbean dish for any of you who might be disgusted or confused), roti and curry chick peas with chicken, a pilaf rice with smoked turkey and mushrooms and a coconut salmon. Mmmm mmm!! I may soon not be able to fit into any of my adorable, recently purchased dresses (I shop when I'm depressed) but I'll be well fed! I've just made myself quite hungry, I think I'm gonna go start my search for breadfruit. What the hell does a breadfruit actually look like, I've only seen it cooked?? Found a pic!


Also, one of my cousin's friends helped me stage the pic below at my cousin's party to prove that I was in the same room and venue as Mr. Rickman. I look hideous, please excuse that, but it is still proof that we were both there. He's in the background, leaning in to kiss my aunt (so jealous).


You can't fake this stuff people! Well, you can actually, but I didn't!
