A post of whine

The 'woe is me, my life is so hard' department:

- I don't want to work today. I want to watch Leverage. Why is this day so looooong?
- The adapter to my laptop stopped working and I can't find the receipt. This frustrates me greatly.
- Someone in my building thought it was funny to turn off my dryer when I did my laundry. Now I have wet clothes hung up to dry all over the flat. The reason for why I use the damn dryer is because I do not have anywhere to hang wet clothes, damnit!

Food post!

This post brought to you by instant noodles!

See, I do my best to eat as healthy as my budget allows (damn you, fresh vegetables, why must you cost a fortune?) but now and then, especially by the end of the month when money is tight, I revert to my old student eating habits, i.e. cheap, filling food. It reminds me of the days when I only owned two glasses, two plates, and a coffee mug, and tried my very best to come up with tasty dishes that didn't cost anything because I spent all my money on more important things (books and beer). This one was a favourite! I wouldn't eat it every night like I did back in uni, but today I found that I had all the ingredients home and decided to make it.

Noodle soup for one
1 packet of shrimp-flavoured instant noodles
1/2 dl shrimps
1/2 dl frozen vegetables (I prefer corn, peas and red pepper)
curry powder
pepper powder
sweet chili sauce
salt and pepper

Prepare the noodles, without the flavouring. Heat vegetables, shrimp, spices and shrimp flavouring in a pan with a little butter until slightly soggy. Add the shrimp mix into the noodles. Delicious soup!


Do you have any nostalgia food like that? The first food you cooked for yourself when you moved away from home? Food your parents would be horrified if they'd known you were eating practically every day? Pure comfort food, food that brings out memories!
