*note, if you worked with me, you'd understand the humour in my subject line.

i made a baked vegetable dish for dinner. i was awfully excited about it. for a few reasons.

1) it contained my [current] favorite german cheese, quark.
2) it [looked] incredibly appealing by the recipe.
3) it's veggies, cheese, and potatoes. how could that go wrong?!

well. it did go wrong. very, very, wrong. the main issue (i think) was the other cheese the recipe called for, a little demon called cambezola.

now, i'm not terribly fond of the bleu cheeses. something about seeing the mold (such dark mold) just kinda bugs me. plus, it's usually awfully pungent.

the research i did on this cambezola told me "very mild bleu" and "perfect for the unadventurous!" i figured that i'd be safe with this. oh! how i was wrong! or maybe how they were wrong? it was awfully strong. and i'm typically adventurous when it comes to cheeses. sans la bleu.

if i happen to make this recipe again, (which doesn't seem terribly likely, as i essentially wasted an entire tub of the illusive quark making it) i shan't be using any form of bleu cheese. i shall stick to a nice brie (rind removed) or perhaps camembert.

a break, at breakneck speed.

alright.  i'm in the middle of writing (1 of 2) papers right now.  i actually haven't written the paper, i'm just making highlights, and questions- you know, the skeleton of my paper.  my arguments thus far are pretty weak, and pretty convoluted...  but i hope to have something more substantive by tonight.  (i also need to focus on my second paper, too!)

i had a pretty shitty day otherwise.  i got an 85% on my stupid religious studies exam (i totally deserved an A on that exam, so i'm pretty steamed)  the GTA didn't even give any reasons for such a low score.  (i think it's 'cos i know TOO much about the subject matter, 'cos frankly, i've taken classes on talmudic law, and was able to answer the questions in extreme depth)  --- i realize that sounds incredibly egotistic, but.. grr...

ruby is also sick.  she's had runny poo (tmi, sorry) today, and she hasn't been feeling very good.  :(  she was sick on the kitchen floor - thank goodness it was on the floor mat, i just tossed it, but it was gross/frustrating anyway.  i had to take a second shower 'cos i was worried i got something on me.  

okay, so it hasn't been THAT bad of a day, but i felt pretty yucky.  and i myself am starting to feel yucky in my stomach too.  maybe it's hypochondria?  LOL.  

meh.  be good, folksters.
