Thanks to my recent subscriptions to Google Reader, I've now found new interests in things on the Internet. I've regained my previous interest in cooking, surfing, blogging, and other things in general.
I've been reading a lot of food blogs, so I've decided to try a couple of the recipes I found. Right now I'm letting some sesame beef marinate. I've also got some vegetables, mainly onions, zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms marinating in a similar (complimentary but not identical) sweet and savory sauce. They've been marinating overnight and I'm inviting some neighbors over for dinner.
I've also given up on fast food, and I've been packing some pretty wonderful lunches. I still eat out once or twice a week with my coworkers, but I've had great success with packing my lunch. I've been looking for a pretty sweet lunch or Bento box to take with me to work, but they're kind of expensive over the Internet.
Right now I'm also baking my first loaf of homemade bread. I went out last week and bought all of the ingredients. I following a recipe from the "White Lily Flour Recipe book thingy" I got when I was in 10th grad culinary arts class. The recipe makes two loaves, so I went ahead and put one loaf in the oven but put the other loaf in my fridge. If I eat enough bread this week, then I'll make the other loaf this weekend. My house smells so great right now. I've got a few minutes left on it and I'm about to pull it out of the oven. It's going to be hard not to dig in right away. If it turns out right, I'll be sure to post some pictures.
I'm also back into gaming. This weekend I've been playing a lot of Unreal Tournament and the newer versions.
More later...
