Sunday, November 3rd, 2024 07:22 pmProject Tiddly continues apace, thanks to which I was able to do a tofu stir-fry today, with bok choy getting past its expiry date and healthy-looking mushrooms from the Used Vegetable department (the remainder of which I will roast soon, this time preheating the pan in the oven so it doesn't warp suddenly on me like last time.) Also tinned bamboo shoots and water chestnuts in (what once was) easy open peel off cans, which now require sturdy knives and pliers to open. NB stick with can opener types. Should do me for most of the week: is the downside of cooking for one.
Occurs to me that half the TFL/ hip flexor/ piriformis tsuris might be down to not having bicycled on a real bicycle for 30 months. Can't see a way around that but would explain much.
Having exhausted the library's supply of E C R Lorac's (Carol spelled backwards) MacDonald mysteries, discover that the mighty river has them for US .99 apiece, or rather more with a low loonie. But not to be sneezed at, so I have more Golden Age mysteries to read. Also pseudo-Golden Age because vols 1-3 of Freddy Pilkington-Soames were on sale for less than vols 2 and 3 separately would come to. Thus I have enough to get me to Wednesday morning.
Also have Sheine Lende, the prequel to Elatsoe, the sorta A/U book about an Apache girl which, mirabile dictu, didn't have the usual YA romance plot thank ghu thank ghu, and which I read flow-wise just after Winter's Gifts. Must also finish up Delicious in Dungeon to date because vol 10 is due back at the library on Thursday.
