(Blink 182 What's My Age Again Intensifies in the bg)
16. What food did you try for the first time?
Oh let me think - I made Keema Curry (Japanese style) which I'm going to make again for New Years since it's become a fast favourite, Cream Stew was also a new recipe I learned... Curry Doria, an ultimate comfort food... I've basically been working my way through the whole Just One Cookbook site I think. What else did I make: black sesame cookies and cupcakes, saag paneer, aloo palak, I even made a strawberry japanese roll cake successfully! And finally, I also made savillum :)
That's just the food I've been making for myself, I also had some tasty things throughout the year not made by me (like bison pasta and pemmican bites and a TON of ice cream flavours)
43. What have you learned about yourself this year that you didn’t know in the years prior?
According to my students I am "the Wizard of Oz" which apparently means that they rely on me a lot for tech support, and I know it's my job but I guess I just always thought of myself as someone who was impatient with others and didn't know how to communicate properly and that I'm not that helpful but I guess? I am?
44. Did your opinion of anyone change for the better?
I'm not sure if "better" is the right word for it since I already had a good opinion of the people I'm thinking of, but it's like getting to know them all over again and it's nice to be able to spend time with them and catch up on things I missed while I was away. The pandemic sucks and it really is limiting the number of people I see in person but it's allowed me to focus on a couple people at a time in ways I don't usually have energy for, so that's good.
