After all teh emotional...everything of the past...long, long while the weather's icky coldness has made me think it's time for a day off. Well, I plan on taking the week 'off' from other projects and doing jsut art works for myself, intent to bring back into my life 'arting for me'.
Sadly after a heavy conversation yesterday (good, though) I'm feeling a tad more under weather than I'd like to sit at the computer for a few hours, so I set about making myself something nice and perfect for a blustery day spent on the couch with blankets.
I live on a very restricted food budget, but I enjoy finding little ways of making just a handful of cheap ingredients taste like gourmet cooking. I bought a big pack of chicken soup ramen noodles, and have made myself a little broth that tastes amazing. I simply simmered some mushrooms and spinach in the soup base + a little extra stock, some added spices like parsley, thyme and ground pepper and found a packet of onion/oils from another instant noodle package I had used the noddles for already. 10mins of simmering, do the ramen noodles in it once the mushrooms have soaked up some flavor and voila! Nice and brothy, not too salty either. Perfect and delicious if I say so myself, I must make this for my friends sometime and show them that eating cheap can be awesome.
Anywho, soup, some Sherlock Holmes, and resting with a fluffy blanket. Back to exercise and arting tomorrow.
