Sometimes life gets in the way

Today is A's birthday; I'm drinking a Guinness Extra Stout out of a Heinekin glass in the Mission to Seafarers to celebrate. I plan to try to track down something better this afternoon to properly celebrate. If I'm lucky, perhaps a Little Creatures, or Red Oak Boutique Beer Cafe.

I'm now the chief cook on the Robert Hunter, however dubious a distinction that is. 100% vegan. 98% of the food is donated, and when I cook, I keep saying to myself 'you have to play the cards you're dealt, you have to play the cards that you're dealt.' Today's lunch was chili, garlic bread, fruit salad, and leftover spinach salad with "rocket" (a.k.a. arugalu) from dinner last night. Tonight's dinner is sweet potato fries (we have a commercial deep fat fryer!) and possibly vegan pizza, if I get off my ass and go get some sugar for proofing the dough.
