MISC.: I'm Totally Not Stressed, Though ...

If you're wondering why I have not been posting faithfully every day lately, I think the only way I can get across what I am dealing with in my "real life" is to just show you by posting pictures of my office. Each file folder is a case I am working on. Each piece of paper belongs in some file folder, somewhere, that may or may not already be in my office:




I am hanging on by my last fingernail right now ... blog posts will pick up in pace when I get a better grip.

damn. I really should bring back an anonymous business-related blog. But now I'm "out".

Work is criz-azy for me right now too. But looking at your pics makes me feel a little better, because any amount of paper like that is so overwhelming to me . . . I sit in admiration of your talents.
KT said…
Ha! It's overwhelming to me too ... but I have an unfortunate talent for taking a monstrous snarl of paperwork and handing it back to you in neat little piles all tabbed and highlighted with a memo explaining what needs to happen.

What happens when you hate what you're talented at? How do you resolve that?

You win the lottery? You're also talented at a lot of things you don't hate. You hope that you become lucrative...
KT said…
Yep, that's about my plan right now. Hope that I become lucrative. Because I don't even have time to buy lottery tickets--they don't sell them at the gas station I like.

Sometimes when I am doing an organizing task like that, I think I should have been one of those people that organizes your closet and stuff because then I could at least look at people's stuff, which is something I like to do, if authorized. But I think I would hate that too. Plus, if my home is any indicator, I probably would not be as great at that as I think, regardless of what I can do to a pile of paper.

what's missing is a photo of you in these shots, hunched over your desk in a crisp white shirt, glasses dangling from your mouth.

at least that's how i imagine your lawyer life to be.
KT said…
Ha ha! That sounds so sophisticated. My shirt is neither crisp, nor white (hey, it's Friday!) and I don't where glasses. But the hunching part is spot on.

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...
