A lesson learned...

So...

I made congee.

It turned out good.

It didn't burn.

It didn't boil over.

It looked right.

Problem: TOO SALTY

I failed to realize that putting in pieces of salty preserved turnip (I decided to do taro even though I had no potatoes to go with it) that it would end up adding all the salt the congee need and then some.

And then some after that.

And then some after that.

I had to put so much water into it just so that it would even be some what patable.

Next time: wash all the salt off. I forgot that's what we used to do back, back, back then...

*sigh* It was still pretty yummy.

I put in taro (some of the pieces were cooked totally soft so next time small pieces), some dried shrimp, some preserved turnip and that was about it...

I used chicken stock from a can -- there's some added sodium there too...

O.O

Off of the Nutrional Info on the bag of Salt Preserved Turnips:

Sodium - 208%

Yes, definitely washing them throughly next time. Very, very throughly.

I still feel sick... I'm more sick as in I have a cold now...

:(

I'm all alone... I feel so alone... :(

My roommate is asleep, Britany went home, Michelle is god knows where... I'm in the dark too! And I'm listening to "Life is a Boat" and everything is sad...

*blows her nose*

Damn runny nose...

It's 11 PM, I'm way awake, and I feel so alone and so unhappy! :( This is like worse case scenario now... I feel like this would be the best time to kill myself...except that would be icky and then I would be dead which would be really, really bad. But if I were suicidal, this would be the best time.

Damn, that does sound bad. My sense of humor is terrible, no? I hope no one misunderstands. I don't want the Wellness Center people being sicced on me. O.O

Whatever, anime watching now until I get sleep. Which will probably be a while since I had a very long nap.

LOL, thanks! It's probably too late now that I've emerged from my Gravitation induced haze... Now that's a good way to get back to feeling alive -- anime crack. ^^
