expensive habits

14May2005 [directLink] [personal]

Gonna have trouble adjusting to the different food offerings when I return home — or worse, will go broke trying not to adjust

  • Making sandwiches out of spanish ham (that dark, dried yet greasy and fatty stuff) organic roma tomatoes and camembert, all on a fresh baguette of course
  • Buying another cpl bags of coffee beans every week; the coffee store also offers:
  • Fancy chocolates, with, eg, chopped up mint leaves or chopped cocoa beans inside
  • and Expensive tea, the perfect way to end the night
  • On the topic of tea I’ve discovered I like the stuff and have built myself a varied supply of black and greens
  • Also built myself a constant supply of spirits and decent beers - I can’t get through wine or champagne fast enough to make a bottle worthwhile, so instead have found some decent beer (like Adelscott, which has a touch of whiskey in it) and various mixable spirits

And on the topic, I’ve also discovered cooking improv-style stir fries et al. I keep a supply of spices, light sauces, and various flavours (chopped almonds, grated coconut, pineapple syrup, &c) and mix it all up depending what I feel like
