A lazy Sunday!
After lots of studying this week (particularly my mental wrestling match with a book on Colonialism/Post-colonialism), I was ready for a low-key day. I allowed myself to just take up space for a morning and into the afternoon. No movies, no TV. I emailed, I listened to music, I walked up to the next town for tea with a friend, and then I came home to make dinner.
It was my first time using the oven. I roasted a chicken with carrots, parsnips, onions, and garlic. I threw in some red wine and let it all work its magic. It turned out quite well. And now I have chicken for making something else this week. And I got ambitious and started to make stock with the chicken carcass, but it started foaming in a way that I think there may have been some residual soap on the pot lid.
Overall, though, I think it was a successful day. I rested, I caught up with friends with whom I hadn't talked in weeks, and I ate good, home cooked food. That's a good start to my third week of classes.
