I have been pretty lazy about work lunches for the last several weeks and have mostly been making bread and bringing sandwiches. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but the vagaries of the library's heating system mean that the coldest part of every day is 12:30 - 1:30. Which is when I take my lunch break. So cold sandwiches are not really helping.

So this week, I have made corn soup with paprika and miso and I found my wee thermos food jar thing, so I am by god going to have hot soup at lunch.

And also I made a lemon cardamom rosewater cake. So lunch this week is not only going to be warm but also extremely full of Flavors.

This weekend has, alas, been the opposite of restful, as my brain has declared that all human contact is currently completely intolerable. I am extremely grumpy and it is not my parents' fault - they aren't actually relentless irritating people, they just seem that way right now and I can't escape them at present. But god, right now everything they say annoys me and the sheer fact of their presence and the noises they make is like a fork scraping over the surface of my brain.

I would like to lay very still under an extremely heavy blanket for several hours during which no one is allowed to speak or come within 100 yards of me.
