When I’m feeling stressed, I tend to eat more. Unlike others who might loose their appetite when they’re feeling down or going through tough times. I guess I am one of those who try to find comfort in food in a failed attempt to hide their anxiety and uneasiness.
To give you an example of the things that make me stress, I am currently stressed about the fact that I still have a lot of work to do to promote my personal blog and increase traffic into it. Or to simply add the essential buttons and modify its layout to make it look more professional. At a later stage, I would like to try to get income out of it somehow. And although I am a graduate in Business Information Systems, with a couple of years work experience in IT support, I was never into IT or technical stuff…Therefore, I might have to ask for technical help in taking my blog to the next level. Actually I have to…I managed to somehow loose the login button on my blog’s homepage right after I tried to add some widgets on the side bar!
The picture you see at the top of this post is a collection of takeaway menus that I have accumulated over time in my cupboard. Since most restaurants distribute these menus on flat doors….Now the funny thing is, that I rarely order takeaway. Maybe more in the recent period since I was following my neighbor’s advise in “putting myself out there” and “stop hiding in my apartment”! So I didn’t get to work on my cooking skills as much as I would like to, since I need to put more time and effort into my goal, and cooking and especially washing dishes afterwards does take up time!
When one of my friends was visiting one day, she was amused by the pile of menus I owned and then said: “just put it with the pile” when we found a new menu outside my apartment door as we were leaving!
Tonight, it is Friday night. And despite wanting to share my home delivery dinner with someone special just like every single girl out there, and despite getting that feeling almost every single time that I decide to order dinner for home delivery, I am thankful for having great friends in this city. It’s true that, while some live on the other side of town, or might find it difficult to commute, or could be working even on Fridays…we all share one thing in common: we are all struggling to survive in this dynamic and highly fast-paced city. Most of us (including me) are also busy in trying to establish ourselves from scratch and become financially independent. Hopefully, the next time I decide to get a meal delivered on a weekend for dinner, I will try to arrange it early with friends.
My Napoletana pizza had less anchovies than what I expected. But I managed to accommodate that loss with some leftover anchovies that I had bought from the deli about a week or so ago. I must admit that the supermarket deli anchovies tasted much better and were far juicier than the anchovies used on my pizza. They weren’t as salty either.
Although under stress, I assure you I only ate half of the medium pizza I had ordered. The rest will be taken care of on a different occasion for sure.
When my food order had arrived, and after opening the door for the delivery man, guess what I saw on my door mat?
Yes, believe it or not, it was a new delivery menu…for another new pizzeria in town! and of all the names they could have chosen for their eatery, they chose to call it:
Romantico
How insulting is that! 😛
I’m not much of a cook myself and the kitchen is that one room in the house that I rarely step in because I really don’t have any idea as to what to do in there. However, for the last few months I have this “womanly” instincts to learn how to cook. One of the main factors of that intinct is financial, haha! Anyhow, I starte by searching on google how to make an omelette, pathetic. Right? My friends have teased me for a good month about “googling” how to make an omelette. Anyhow, last week I baked pasta. I deserve a medal for that. :-)))
(Oh hey! A follow button!)
Googling how to make an omelette is not pathetic at all! I have been through the omelette learning process and I tell you it wasn’t easy to get it right from the first few times!
I mainly used two cook books that I bought when I first started to learn how to cook. But I have also failed at boiling an egg, believe it or not 😀 And have watched videos on how to make poached eggs 🙂
I believe cooking can be a fun and enjoyable experience, it’s the hassle that comes with it that makes us decide to get takeaway or eat out. Bravo on the baked pasta! and many more cooking success stories to come 🙂
I’m really glad that I met you. I don’t feel bad anymore for being totally useless at home. I pity our future children (which is why I am not going to have any). :-))))
I feel the same way Noemi! And I’m glad to help you feel better about yourself in that category 😀

I just want to mention I am new to blogging and site-building and absolutely savored you’re blog. Very likely I’m want to bookmark your blog post . You absolutely have awesome article content. Many thanks for sharing your web page.
Pretty cool Mr. Elliot. I am starved for missives from the mailbox. I’ll admit it, I even open junk mail. (Hey, maybe it’s a check with a lot of zeros at the end.) Such a sad existence for me when my just one a small rush of importance is ripping open junk mail. Bills can wait around, so a real letter sounds excellent. Will subscribe.
Cheers, Iris
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

May I simply just say what a comfort to find an individual who actually knows what they are discussing on the web. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people have to read this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you are not more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.

Brilliant, thanks, I will visit again soon.
Good collection, Eric, appreciate it. Bookmarked and shared 🙂
I dont think the FDA would approve you buying them in stores thats why they are sold online for now, maybee that might change in a few years but right now it remains online.
This is the perfect blog for anyone who wishes to understand this topic. You understand a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that has been discussed for ages. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Together with every thing that appears to be building throughout this area, all your perspectives tend to be somewhat radical. On the other hand, I am sorry, because I do not give credence to your entire strategy, all be it exciting none the less. It looks to everybody that your commentary are actually not entirely justified and in reality you are yourself not entirely convinced of the argument. In any case I did take pleasure in reading through it at BLOGTITLE.
