Birthday weekend line up

So my birthday just passed and I ended up doing a lot of the cooking (might sound snobbish but I like my food a certain way so I just cooked it myself this year) and it started off with:

Saturday — beef braising ribs, and rice (forgot to take a picture, sorry <^.^>”)

Sunday — Salmon, roasted potatoes, and brussel sprouts.

Excuse the corner, it broke 😂

The Birthday Cake

Got one gift from my bestie, the other bestie said it was still being delivered 😂, her bad luck to get a long shipping period so I’ll show it when I find out what it is. My co-worker bought my lunch a couple days prior and my other co-workers wished me well today so all in all it was crazy fun weekend.

Ham Sandwich With Sourdough Bread

Bakery opened up by my dental office so I bought a loaf of sourdough bread and made sandwiches the following day. Btw, Stubbs pickles is (in my humble opinion) the superior pickle. The crunch is dill-ness is just on point for me.

Quick & Easy Curried Mussels

Probably one of my favourite dinner ideas this year. Was racking my brain to figure out what I was having for dinner, since I came home super late from work, then remembered still had a pack of New Zealand Mussels in the freezer.

The best part about that pack is that I can just microwave it to cook it. 6 minutes in there while I got to work on the other ingredients. Prepped my veggies, separated the mussels from the shells, burnt my curry, added other spices and the result…

Curried New Zealand Mussels On Jasmine Rice

Was sooooooooo good. Definitely a 10, would recommend trying your own variation.

Ugh…

Having a bit of a bad day. I’m trying to put Windows 10 Home on my computer, Microsoft website let me choose the method I wanted to save the program on; ISO or USB Drive. I chose USB drive. It said it needed 8GB of space. I had room with the rest of my files so I clicked ok.

Why did this stupid program wipe my entire 1TB external USB drive for 8GB of program?

Why? Why?! wHy?!?!?!!!!!!

Years of art, stories, memories, reference materials…. Gone.

~SIGH~
