4 days until Christmas. Holy moo.
Having not worked retail during the holidays for the first time in many years, it really doesn't feel like Christmas. On the plus side, I'm fairly well done on the shopping front. Maybe some wrapping paper, if there's any left. :)
Also, this means I'm not jaded by all the inconsiderate teenagers who want specific clothes, or irritable moms with their long lists to be checked off.
For the first time in forever, Christmas doesn't mean anger! :D

Today's a day worthy of staying in bed. All rainy and chill. It's a nice change for LA. But for once, I don't feel like staying in bed. Did that all weekend.
I need to figure out this week's dinners. And clean up the place. And jobhunt. Blecch.
It's been an interesting challenge, to come up with food that's meat-free, and under 600-700 calories per person. Today's rain has me tempted to put further constraints on my meal choices, as I'd love to make everything with what I have here. i.e. Don't wanna leave the house! :P

It may be possible, hopefully, maybe, that I may NOT be allergic to seaweed after all. I ate 2 pieces of a sushi roll today, and no ill effect!
Or at least maybe not the kind that they use for sushi. Are there different types used in rolls? I understand that there must be different species, as there are different grasses. But would it be safe to consider all sushi.... well, safe?

Adventures on Sunday
Have tried Sea Urchin and Red Bean ice cream as of Sunday.
The Sea Urchin was a bit squishy, the ice cream was a bit lumpy.
I did also test my alleged seaweed allergy by eating a piece about half the size of a dime. No reaction. Maybe next time.
Made the best splurge purchase that was not at a renaissance faire.
(see below)
It comes complete with buck teeth.

Happy Danielle's Birthday!
All kinds of fun and exciting things happening today. Best of all, on the 3rd try, I made an almost perfect omelette!
Spinach and Feta.
Don't know if it was tasty, as I don't like feta. But I will eat cute animals.
We ate in North Conway. Four different meats consumed that had never been previously consumed!
Venison = cold, a little spicy, but not bad.
Rabbit = tender, amazing flavor, consistency of very moist poultry.
Antelope = slightly tougher than steak, looks like pork, mild steaky flavor.
Escargot = chewy, buttery and oniony, fantastic.
