Little man, you've had a busy day

[desperance]

It's 10.30am, and so far today I have:

baked bread
boiled kidney beans
chunked & browned beef
chopped and sizzled onions & garlic
added beef, beans, tomatoes, stock, extra-hot chilli powder, hot smoked paprika, a dozen whole Thai red birds-eye chillies, half a dozen dried habaneros and a chipotle. Oh, and bay leaves and cumin for some harmonic notes
herbed, salted and sliced some pork rinds
set the chilli and the pork rinds in a very low oven to mull all day
stripped bed and run a load of laundry
made a packed lunch (cold ham, warm bread, hot mustard. Tomatoes. And a flask of coffee and a chocolate biscuit)
drunk coffee and read book

It will come as no surprise to anyone that I have thoroughly enjoyed my morning. I'm really looking forward to my future career as a houseboy.

Now I have to creep like snail unwillingly to library, and do that thing that, y'know, people pay me for, a little, every now and then. Le sigh.
