Pasta carbonara out of a package

Finally got around to trying out the packaged carbonara mix. It was
okay, although a bit on the salty side. It tasted, well, like
carbonara. One package can be used for 4 servings as a side dish, but
since I was too lazy to cook a separate dish and store the left-over
carbonara, I had it as the main dish. Some more variety would probably
make it less like classy instant noodles.

Tomorrow I’m going to try pancakes, if I wake up early enough. I
should find a sari-sari store that lets me buy one egg at a time. I
had to buy a dozen, and I have no plans of finishing them all during
the week. That’d be unhealthy.

I wonder if we can set up some kind of coop…

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I still had a fair amount
of time after getting home, cooking dinner, cleaning our
mold-encrusted toaster (eeeeeeeewwww!), and fixing my clothes and my
bed. I feel more or less at ease. =)
