Fishcakes

Hell of a day.  Early morning classes, always grump me out.  Got home, ran out to take care of some spontaneously-inspired-by-misfortune errands, got back, started cooking and doing homework.  Got the pasteis de bacalhau finished (they're basically fried cod cakes) although I didn't use enough egg (stupid small vs large egg issues) and a lot of them lost substantial parts of their mass.

Went to the dinner meeting and had a pretty darn good time.  Everyone seemed to like the pasteis de bacalhau, especially my prof who spent some time in the Azores and specifically asked for them when I said I was going to make bacalhau for the dinner.  (Not that I wasn't happy to do it, even though my apartment now reeks of fish!)

Now I'm doing work for my first job (bleeeh I'm having a hard time with it) and feeling rough about all the crazy I have to do tomorrow.  I simply can't face most of it tonight because I'm exhausted.  My ankle has been bugging me again too, which is infuriating.  11,297 steps is a hell of a lot, so it's not surprising my ankle really sore right now.

Also pretty bummed that Will Grier got himself suspended for taking some stupid OTC supplement and Steve Spurrier announced his retirement.  Oh well.  Back to work.  Blah on grad school.
