The end of woes - or so I hope
Sep. 10th, 2021 05:58 pmToday, Vodafone sent us a techie again; thankfully, not one of those young titans who're full of themselves and treat everyone beyond 30 as if they were mentally disabled. This was a middle-aged guy who didn't leave until he found everything that might possibly be wrong. It took him more than an hour, he localized two or three different problems and solved each and every one of them. So, it appears that we might be okay from now on. *knocks on wood*
I needed something to occupy myself with while I was waiting for him, so I baked a Ribislkuchen; basically![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
noadvertising's red currant traybake, but with Grandma's Gitterkuchen recipe, because I didn't want to throw out the egg yolks. Eggs are expensive over here and besides, I'm not for wasting perfectly good foodstuffs.
Behold my Ribislkuchen:
It is very yummy, too, with a crunchy bottom and soft filling. Mum enjoys it very much. I also cooked Mary Berry's Chicken Panang Rice Fry again, a stir-fry with chicken breast strips, grated courgettes and basically any leftover veggies that were in the fridge, this time tomatoes and a leftover boiled potato. If you want to know, it was also very yummy. It's amazing what a few spices can do with the simplest ingredients.
I worked a wee bit on my kiddie oven mitts. #3 is finished and I made good headway with #4. I hope to finish the whole project over the weekend, so that I can turn my attention to Christmas-y stuff.
Oh, and I almost forgot! I've managed to actually write a bit during the last week and a half, despite all that stress. That's one really good thing that happened to me.
