Buzzador duties with fond du chef
Hi everyone!
I've been doing this Buzzador thing again with Knorr Fond du Chef. http://knorr.fi/#/etusivu/fondduchef
I've made several different dished with them including salmon pasta and chicken noodle soup. Tried all of the four flavors (beef, chicken, veggie and fish) some more than once. I also gave my friends some to try themselves.
I have to say at first I thought they were far too salty. Perhaps it was because of the soy cream I used or maybe one Fond was too much for the meal in question.
However after making the very tasty chicken coconut noodle soup I changed my mind. I used 2 flavors in it, chicken and veggie, and I must say the result was excellent.
Here's a picture of one of the first meals I made with the Fonds:
I wish I had more money to try so many more different types of dinners with them. With the salmon pasta I put half fish fond in the macaroni. I can't say I tasted much difference in it. But at least I tried one different way of using them.
Still have a couple of weeks to test and wait for my friends' responses. So far I have been able to make tasty meals with them, nothing bad.

thoughts
I suppose if I really think about it, this place doesn't really feel like home either. It feels..temporary. Will I ever be able to settle down? One could wonder if it was because this is a rented place and not my own but I am worried it wouldn't make a difference. Unless maybe I would find an absolutely perfect apartment that I could and would buy. Would that make me feel more settled? Perhaps we'll never know.
At least I'd need more things to make this more complete. The big wall still looks very unfinished, bare even. It needs more but I can barely buy food..
I bought 11kgs of food and drink today. Spent a fortune. I should be able to live on all of that for at least 2 weeks if I'm smart about it. I might not be though. If I knew where I stand in this job situation I suppose I wouldn't be so worried.
Halloween on Monday and there's nothing I can do about it...
November coming soon.. At least I have sangria!

new life
I have not mentioned anything about my new life. Maybe I should. Living on my own now for the first time since... ever, to be honest. It's a bit weird but not that much I suppose. I have a very cozy apartment.
I just have to accept that every night I am awaken at 5 and can get back to sleep maybe at 6am. Then wake up comes around 9 am. Cats won't let me sleep too much.
First week I was over eating. Analyze it how ever you want. Then I decided I have to stop and I did.
I don't know what to say really. Just getting used to all this. It's a bit too soon to say much.
