Last night I dreamt I was in a zombie world long after the zombie apocalypse where the zombie virus had mutated to allow some zombies to talk and control themselves (though mostly they just pretended to be nice and then ate you when you're back was turned ie smart zombies), while others just remained normal shambling zombies. There were huge debates on the rights of the smart zombies and one smart one tried to befriend me, but I got sick of watching my back around her so I headed out into the wilds. I was climbing over a high chain link fence stained with blood when I woke up though whether I was climbing into an area filled with zombies or getting away from one remained up to debate. All in all, I think I've had my fill of zombie apocalypses for awhile.
A few days ago my dreams were about how difficult it was to camp on a battlefield after an epic battle with orcs and the Sauron's armies. Fighting beside Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli was much more fun than zombies, damnit.
This weekend I went to several different stores in order to find new winter boots since the soles literally fell off my old winter boots (luckily, only just after I stepped out the door). They had served me well for seven years so not bad, but such a pain to find boots that had ankle support, were waterproof, didn't have heels, and fit my wide feet. I always feel so jealous of men when I boot shop since they have so many options and I have so very few *sigh* Anyway, I finally found some and they were even on sale so yay.
My other occupation this weekend besides uni work (which you should assume is always being done) was cooking. I first set out to make a huge batch of matzo ball soup, but after I had mixed everything but the matzo meal into the matzo ball mixture, I realized I didn't have enough matzo meal so I shrugged, mixed it all together anyway and made matzo meal soup instead. It tastes the same anyway, just a different texture. Then I made a whole pound of lentils mixed with garlic, fried onions, lemon juice and various spices. I'll be eating that for quite awhile. And then, finally, on Saturday night I spent an hour or two prepping a beef stew. It was the first time I used a crock pot in my life so I was kinda anxious when I set it to low and went to sleep. I actually ended up waking up at 7am to go check on it, but went back to sleep once I saw it was fine (also, it smelled delicious). It tastes fantastic, though if I make it again I will put in slightly less wine and slightly more potatoes. All this food will feed me for a week or two. Does anybody know if I can freeze stew?
