Cooking

Hallo everybody!
I actually wonder if there is any-body to say hello to. mmmh...I guess no, but it doesn't really matter! I'll take it as a personal writing exercise.
How are you? Or better...how is me? I'm surviving as usual. I started doing a serious deal of cooking lately.
Oh gosh, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We're already in 2011, less than 2 years to go to the end of the world. Cool.
Some changes.
I left my job. Yeah. Yuppiiii! I used to work in a call centre, a beautiful and rewarding job. Indeed. I lasted 3 months, not too bad, come on. Hallo, Ellie speaking how can I help? How can I kill you or get you to shut up? Well, I couldn't really say that, but so so many times I wanted to do it! Very boring job and let's not talk about my colleagues...monster! Ignorant, stupid and even bad mannered.
Oh well, it's in the past.
let's relax and breath...

Better
Since the beginning of this month and year, I started working as teaching assistant! Aaah, back to school! How beautiful! My lovely students. No more Chinese, now they are mostly Saudi. Ladies. Adults, then. Pretty cool. The problem (is it a problem?) is that I work max 16 hours per week. So IT is a problem when it comes to pay bills and rent. Happy days. But we have to always stay positive.
Let's breath.

So I started dedicating myself to one of my favourite activities: COOKING!
Oh I sooooo love it, and even my boyfriend is very happy. As soon as I get home from work, I start...mine is the cooker, mine the scale, rice cooker and blender! Mine's the bread maker, the chopping board and the pans, kettle and toaster! And i cook, fry, steam, bake, roast, stir fry, poach, sizzle and whatever. It makes me feel a better person. Yeah I guess I'm going completely mad! But it's a good feeling.
Been home last week and I brought back with me the full encyclopedia of Italian cooking, all of my baggage allowance was it. And I'm just going through it...heheheeheh! My bread is rising, look how beautiful it is!

And my cat is not back yet. Did I tell you about my cat? I know, I promised to do it but then I forgot. How bad am I? Bad Ellie!
Once upon a time, in a land far far away called Britain, a young and beautiful lady was doing her washing. She collected all the dirty clothes around the house, picked the washing powder up, opened the back door and went down to the basement. So much stuff to wash, she thought, slightly depressed. She unlocked and pushed the heavy door and put the old chest with the clothes in on the floor. Suddenly she turned around and saw some little black feet walking away. What was that? She decided to ignore what happened and put all the stuff in the washing machine. She shut the door behind her and walked upstairs, back to her flat. Oh I left the back door open! she tho9ught, and then went back in. She put the washing powder away and went in the living room...where a couple of bright yellow eyes where staring at her from the sofa. What? A cat! The thingy jumped off the sofa and started purring, obviously demanding some food. So Ellie opened a tin of tuna and gave it to the cat that looked very happy indeed. After lunch the cat went back to the sofa and Ellie sat beside it, to have a closer look. She was biiig and soft, her fur black, red and yellow. What a strange mix! Suddenly she noticed something around its neck...a medal! With a name and a number on it...Izzy! Oh so you are a girl, she thought. What a cute cat!
A few days passed and Izzy kept coming back. At that point Ellie decided to call the number on the medal, and what was the answer? You can keep her, I had Izzy for 7 years and I don't want her anymore. Vaguely gobsmacked, Ellie hung up and took Izzy in her arms...don't worry I'll look after you.
....
Now Izzy is called Potato, she's getting fatter (remember? I keep cooking...) and wakes me up every morning at 4 for a brisk wee. But I love her!!!! POTETOUUU!
Let's breath....
