Monstrous load of washing all dried, woollens still drying in the living room under the heater and it feels a bit like a sauna here after having done a quick vac. And with beans boiling on the stove. Gonna make another batch of my rootin’ tootin’ soup with swede, parsnip, carrot, potat (with celery and onion) and kidney beans… tomorrow night, I think. For tonight I’ll just cook the beans that have been soaking all day. I can’t be fucked doing any cleaning. Still need to make the bed which is something I loathe so much I feel like I need to vent about it here every time.

I do need to make an inventory of all the food to start using up in the pantry. Still more kidney beans, a heap of black eyed beans, urad dal (whole without skin, and split with skin), toor dal, chana dal, masoor dal… dried tvp mince, dried shiitake mushrooms, couscous, risoni, heaps of rice… no takeaway lunches at work for the month of July, I’ve got plenty to cook and use up.
