that was awesome fun

I can judge how much the current . . . everything . . . is getting to me by the unbelievable meltdown I had a little while ago, while trying to get my Patreon access to the Rusty Quill Discord set up. (I have never used Discord before. It was frustrating. And apparently I have no cope.) I managed to get everything working, finally, but now I'm not in a mood to enjoy it. *sigh*

And somehow, half my day off is already gone. And I want to relax but I can't because at some point the delivery person from the pharmacy is going to show up with my meds, and I don't know when. (Things I am not good at: frustration, waiting. I'm never very good at them, but even less so now.)

More cheerfully, I watched the final hour of Rusty Quill Gaming and Giving 2017, and this happened.

quick and easy are words to beware of

Why do people always describe stir-fries as "quick and easy"? In my experience, while the actual cooking is quick, the prep takes ages and leaves me with an overflowing sink of dirty dishes. And then the cooking be-greases everything in the kitchen and makes the whole apartment smell of hot oil.

I suspect stir-fries are "quick and easy" to professional cooks, with better knife skills than mine and someone else to do the dishes. Also to people who cook them every day, and have proper equipment such as a wok.

Admittedly, if I hadn't decided to make a stir-fry of pork with spring onions and green garlic and ginger and orange + yellow + green bell peppers and zucchini and chard and bean sprouts, seasoned with doenjang and gochujang and sesame oil, it might have been quicker and easier.

(This was the veg I got cheap from work, and which needed using up. On the plus side, I have at least a couple of meals worth of leftovers.)
