Knock wood. I worked this weekend and I made progress but it just wasn&#8217;t at the same pace as the last couple of months. I suppose this is a good thing. It just makes me nervous about getting everything finished this week. Maybe I&#8217;m just getting used to it more.<br \/>\nI took some time this weekend to feed Tom healthy and delicious meals. Friday night we had bruschette with gorgonzola, carmelized onions and fresh figs followed by a wild musroom and kale risotto.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday I made us some eggs and toast for breakfast. We had a smoothy as a snack and for dinner had bruschette with tomato, garlic and basil followed by the possibly the best stew I&#8217;ve ever made. I cooked it up in the Le Crussette and it has beef, onion, shallot, garlic, mushroom, carrot, fingerling potatoes, fresh sage from my herb box, kale, and japanese eggplant. Sounds like a lot of ingredients but it was perfectly balanced and crazily delicious if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I made pork chops with kale and fingerling potatoes. As an appetizer I made a risotto cake in the shape of a heart. What a sap.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypirate.com\/photos\/food\/risotto_cake1105.jpg\" width=\"300\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I guess this is my way of trying to help Tom get better faster. It feels terrible not being able to do anything so I&#8217;m going to feed him back into health. I can almost here my future kids saying &#8220;mom, stop trying to feed me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am still suffering from visions of the crash. I wish they would go away. Everything is fine. Tom will play guitar again before you know it and aside from us both always knowing when it&#8217;s going to rain, it&#8217;ll all be a vague memory.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention that I have three tests today? I took the first two this morning. I don&#8217;t know how I did. I guess I did ok. Hopefully Bs atleast. I couldn&#8217;t remember what the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian war was. I spent some time studying at the Reverie cafe on Sunday where my favorite sexy tail-less cat lives. She is very photogenic and has made it into my Photoshop book. I love my new camera.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/angrypirate.com\/photos\/random\/reveriecat1105.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"337\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This week is the final push for the book. Once I take my test tonight, it&#8217;s full speed ahead. I will not stop until victory is mine. We leave next Tuesday morning for the east coast and I want to be doing nothing but editing on my trip. The deadline is Friday. I hope I make it. I would love to have a weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess I might never feel the pressure of this last segment of the book. Knock wood.
