mmm...
Note: tomatoes smell horrendous when boiling them to remove the skins. Also, they feel gross when peeling them. *shudder* Seeding them's... ok.
So... since (silly me) I got two and a half pounds of hamburg and no spaghetti sauce, and i had about a dozen tomatoes picked last week from my plants in my greenhouse course... well, I decided to make tomato sauce.
Problem one: no tomato paste (or canned goods of any kind, unless you count the lone tuna)
Problem two: I have no effing idea what I'm doing.
So I end up pureeing a third, pureeing the f**k out of another third (yay indescript pink liquid) and dicing the rest, mixing it with some olive oil and some italian seasoning. Its sitting in the crockpot now, with [probably over-]garlicked meatballs. The meat should be fine, but who knows about the sauce.
And tomorrow, I have the start of a Japanese oral to do. (and tuesday, and another day) Wednesday is a Chinese Business Culture presentation on intellectual property rights, more specifically trademarks. Thursday is a presentation on cucumbers and our lab notebooks for the GH course are due.
The week after that has the Structure of Chinese final exam (tues), the Business chinese exam and CBC quiz (wed), and the JLPT on thursday. Technically, the Japanese Language Placement Test is optional, but its 5% extra credit on our final grade, and I want to make sure I pass the class. I think i have a C right now *wince*.
After that is exam week, but I'm done with exams before may first, i think. Its so weird. and then I need to alter a regency tailcoat pattern to make zech's coat for the 16th of may. *dies*
And all that makes me wonder why I'm wasting precious hours on the computer... and cooking... and drawing... *smacks self*
