Meal Prep Sunday [food, housekeepery]
No breakfast of the week yet. Maybe scones tomorrow morning. This morning I ate a bagel that I found stashed in the freezer instead. There are still two more where that one came from. Lots of interesting things lurking in the freezer.
Last weekend I bought three beautiful pears from the co-op, so today I made a chocolate pear upside-down cake, another recipe from Rustic Fruit Desserts. Photos once I have access to a computer with an SD card reader. Heavenly.
Red lentil curry burgers. They freeze well.
Kung Pao Ficken (fake chicken).

Did laundry, cleaned up the basement workbench, and worked on putting away a whole bunch of my clutter. I also finally put stickers on the Yeti cooler. A tiny project but one left lingering from the summer.
I also cut my own hair. I had really been hoping to get help with that while in Seattle, but the time was never right and other peoples’ priorities kind of took over.
In cutting my own hair I determined that a second curse does not reverse the first curse. The first curse is using a pair of mirrors to see what you are doing, which means everything is hard to see and backwards. The second curse is being left-handed and having bought right-handed hair-cutting scissors, which I suppose I must have done a long time ago with the idea that I would get help with this project.
You cannot cut hair with right-handed scissors by holding the scissors in your left hand, because the movement of your left hand will lever the scissor blades away from each other. I can kind of mirror-image things with my left hand, but I discovered that it is almost impossible for me to correctly mirror-image with scissors in my right hand.
In any case, my hair is a couple inches shorter now and for a range of reasons probably no one will notice anyway, kind of like how no one noticed my new glasses (or at least, no one saw fit to remark on them, which is understandable, because they aren’t all that different from the prior pair).
Perhaps I will eventually get motivated to find a different hair cutting place. The first place I went out here did a very nice job but is really out of my price range.
Or perhaps I should just buy left-handed hair scissors.
