I’m having a horribly stressful and grumpy day. Trying to study while mum is going around making noise is difficult. I definitely need to set up a quieter study area in my room. I have ideas I just need to hone them. From doing quite a bit of research I’m actually leaning more towards greenwich university. It has a much better ratio of ucas entry credits vs student satisfaction vs employability Kings is the best for ‘good’ I.E. Getting a first or 1:2 at around 80% where as greenwich is around 48% but really that just depends and what effort I put in eh? Why are there 4 university league tables? It’s so un-fair! They’re all so different! How are they meant to be helpful?!?!? So a lot to think about, on-top of having a difficult work set-up. I probably will make my room into a pod room. Mmmhmmm. Ikea PAX wardrobes are smexy.

Dreamt that I was in game of thrones. I was a fancy lady, fighting for the affection of that mean albino looking King. We’re walking up from an underground tunnel, me him and another guy, and talking, when I openly say ‘But I find you very sexy, so sexy’ to the other guy. Who co-incidentally looks like a certain someone. I trip at the top of the tunnel and pull him down with me… Intimacy ensues. The king says he’ll have us killed, so we flee. We get out of the castle and suddenly it turns into modern day. We get on a train, then switch to a tube. There are 2 knights following us, we take one out, the other disappears. I wake up, and have to admit, I miss him.

Today i need to be super focoused and get the damn packing done.

How about an incentive, if i get at least the front room, garden, and storage sorted today, i can have £10-£20 of sushi next tuesday.

My horoscope says: “It will be just about impossible to solidify any plans today.”
THANKS HOROSCOPE! Fah….. other Virgos include: Charlie Sheen, Amy Winehouse. (I’m fucked)

Thankfully tomorrow says: “Create a plan and stick to it. This isn’t a day to deviate from the norm” and then “Stick close to home and take care of your personal business. Time is precious. Don’t waste it.” A little more encouraging.

Fah …. maybe if i actually walked away from the puter something would get done. <3
*Walks away* 

If your justification for your choices is the law then I feel bad for you.

If your justification for your choices is that you thought it was right, you’re with me.

If your choices lead you to doing something that harms others, that’s when you are a bad person.

If your choices cause you to harm yourself, thats your perogative.

So i took a chicken, right. Free-range organic, corn fed yada yada (ONLY EAT ETHICAL MEAT KIDS - Happy meat is tasty meat)! Ripped off a lef like “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS WARRRRRRR” *Rip* (Ok maybe i cut it with a sharp knife, but i did break the joints first.) Put the rest back away in the fridge for other tasty meals throughout the week. Split the leg into drumstick and thigh. FORK STABBING TIME! Stabbing is important to allow some of the marinade to seep into the meat. I think it helps. Haven’t tested it scientifically.
I covered it in Nando’s piri piri hot marinade, put it to one side, in a pasta bowl (Pasta bowls are awesome hybrids of dinner time)

Got a fork, frying pan, roasting tin and a pot.

Chopped 2 small tattys into nommy sized chunks. Leave the skins on you awesome lazy girl <3
And 2 carrots (i like them still quite big so they retain their carroty flavour) (Peel them)

Chucked the potatoes in a pan covered in water and cooked them till they fall off a fork when stabbed. (Thats called par-boiled!) At some point half-way i added the carrots, don’t want to over-cook them cos they won’t be so healthy. If your water is orange, you lost all the good stuff.

In the frying pan ~nearby~ i chucked some olive oil, a shot of lemon juice, and 2 sprinkles of thyme. Later i chose to add some piri piri stuff. Left this on a low heat while the par-boiling is happening.
This is infusing the oil!

How to get your tatos perfect - drain them into a colander, then give it a good shake. This causes magic. LIES.
This causes the edges to become ruffly. Then you get a thicker layer of nommy tato crust.

Whack up the heat on the oil. Add tatos and carrots.
Turn them one by one with a fork, for a few minutes so they’re wellllll coated in oil, they’ll prolly start to brown and oil will spit in your face. DAN-GER-OUS!

Chuck the lot into an oven dish, space it out (If you were clever you might have used a frying pan that can go in the oven! - i didn’t) and place the chicken skin side down in there too. Chuck a lil paprika on? Win.
Cook for like 20 mins? Medium heat? Yeah.

Go watch youtube.

Turn the chicken over. And shake the veg around a bit.
OHHH IMMA ADD SOME SWEET CORN NOM NOM NOM!
Put it back in, high heat, 15 mins? ok.

Eff this is gonna be TASTYYYYYY

Load up something on icefilms.

When you are thinking about taking it out, slice the fattest part of chicken down to the bone and see if it’s cooked.

ENJOY!

I love having a really unique name.
I’m definitely the only person with my name :D 

Forget the dashi. だし yeeeessshhh! I not fond of that stuff yet, maybe i will become fond.
I’m going with chicken stock 1 cube, white miso 3tsp and wakame as much as you like.
Lil bit of soy, lil bit of sesame oil, sprinkle of shichimi.

Makes about 2-4 bowls of miso, depending how big your bowl is.

The miso just makes it way filling. Also makes my very very thirsty. So salty and so sweet. Nom. Takes it from being a chicken soup to being a hearty meal.

Forgive me if this recipe is in anyway disrespectful of culture. <3 It’s not intended. I’m just making it delicious for me! Also for benji, he for some reason seems to love wakame?!?!?!?

ARHHHH! So i thought Benji was eating his food, hearing a little clanking noise, and i knew there was hardly any so i went to re-fill it, THE PIGEON WAS BACK! WTF. Reallllllllyy should have taken a picture, but my instincts kicked in and i instead scared it out. Only this time it actually LEFT.

Apparently it lives in the tree near by, i saw it fly up there. It’s actually WATCHING my house and waiting for me to leave the back door open!!!

WHHHYYYYYY????

I’ll make sure to take a pic if it happens again.
