What could I have had,
If I was dealt a different hand
What could I have been
If I played them differently
Between the starlight and the sea
Rolling waves crashing over me
Tossed around endlessly
What could I have had
If I spent my life working hard
What could I have been
If I was someone different completely
Love me or leave me
It makes no difference to me
This is who I am now
Between the starlight and the sea

It's my Saturday and I know I should get out of the house but I really don't want to. Being back in the office for shift work just makes me want to spend my weekends in bed, which is just not healthy.

I made a huge batch of pasta for lunch with the idea to take some to work tomorrow. I ate it all instead. Now I'm too full, and sad.

Online Orders 1 Week Delivery Challenge update: order 1 of 4 has arrived today. Off to a good start!

New Ray-Bans from Myer (via Sunglass Hut apparently) have arrived. My existing ones, which are exactly the same, have gotten so manky from years of use that I forgot how nice they used to feel/look. I think the thing which really did them in was taking them near sea/ocean water a bunch of times. Salt water and sunglasses are not friends.

I sensed something weird with the bacon once it went in with the stir fry noodles and decided to pick it back out. It smelt fine in the packaging but once it got into the wok it just smelt a bit...funny. Hopefully I don't die from this. I also regret forgetting to put in the other protein - egg.

Been awake (and up and down) with indigestion since about 2.
And of course every time I almost nodded off Zooks started nudging me for food.
I've just fed her and crawled back in so hopefully I'll be able to nod off.

In today's episode of Cooking Adventures with a Sardine Enthusiast we will be experimenting with Sardine Sushi 🐟🍣

spoiler Images: tin of sardines and various stages of sardine sushi production
To start, cook some rice. I used Coles white long grain and cooked it on the stove with a bit of salt. Then you want to pour in a little bit too much vinegar, and the olive oil from your can of Sardines (discard any non-olive oil, disgusting), and mix. Wait until your rice cools a bit (I didn't, ow), Spread out your rice onto a sheet of seaweed as shown. Press it down a bit. Add some hot sauce in a neat line like so. Arrange your sardines like they were confused and swimming in opposite directions of each other (they don't do this in nature, but that's okay). Roll it up. If your not experienced or don't have a sushi mat it's okay, just mash it all together and it will kinda work. Voila!
