Okay, well I'm going to try another cross post. Maybe it was an anomaly yesterday. (Hmm, and indeed, it showed up instantly on LJ. I guess the heat yesterday must've done something.)
So hunger did drive me out of the library. I had a sudden craving for fried chicken. (I LOVE fried chicken.) I went to Ezell's, yes the place that Oprah loves so much she had/has it flown out to her in Chicago. It was really yummy, but afterward I totally regretted leaving the comfort of the library.
It was so hot last night that I slept in the basement instead of my room, with a cold pack in a towel under my head/neck. I kept spraying Talis with water, which he finally figured out was a way of helping him, not punishing him, so he let me do it. Every time I put ice in his bowl they all melt away in a matter of minutes. I was reading DH, but the heat plus the heaviness of the book soon made it an uncomfortable undeavor; I started reading Greywalker, by Kat Richardson, instead. It's one of those series that deals w/ the supernatural, but so far I actually like the writing (which is usually what makes me give up on a book). Also it's written by a local author so it's interesting to read about all the familiar places.
I've purchased an ice cream maker off Amazon. It'll arrive just as this crazy heat wave breaks, of course, but still I'm pretty excited. Nearly every dessert cookbook I have has at least one recipe for ice cream, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. I've held off this long because my freezer isn't very big, and it needed some serious cleaning out before I could fit an ice cream maker thingy in there. With the rest of my house totally clean now thanks to my mom, I finally got up the will to clean out the freezer (let's just say, I found a giant, unopened bag of Trader Joe's frozen strawberries ... from 2004). Now I have room for an ice cream maker! I just hope it's not a bitch to clean. That's always how I end up not using something.
In other good news, I got my 3-tier tiffin this morning, woot! Now I have no excuse not to bring lunch to work.
