we can't be defeated

I have nothing to report today - I woke up, spent some quality time planning out my week, and then worked all day with a brief break for some leftover pasta at lunch. I did have a fun and long-overdue chat with Heather (aka dear respected madam), and it was v. nice to catch up - and v. hard to believe that we were in India together twenty years ago this month. It was a lifetime ago, but I don't like putting hard numbers like "twenty years ago" on it, because that makes me feel ancient.

My last meeting ended at six, and then I started the rice cooker while I made paneer makhani. [Censored] was here for dinner tonight and usually I would spare him a creation like this, but I had paneer in the fridge that was going to go bad, and there were enough other leftovers to keep him from starving, so I indulged. The recipe was super easy since I used a spice packet (although the spice packet was meant for murgh makhani aka butter chicken instead of paneer/cheese). So all I had to do was cook some canned tomatoes and a bunch of butter, then add the spices with heavy cream, and then add the paneer right at the end. It wasn't as good as what I used to eat in Hyderabad, but it was good enough, and I have plenty of leftovers since [censored] turned his nose up at it.

When it was done, I ate while watching the latest SNL with [censored], and then I came upstairs and did various tasks. And now I must sleep - goodnight!
