I guess the past few weeks have been wearing on me more than I realized, because a coworker this morning told me I "look even more tired than usual". -_-
Evening wasn't terribly busy. I made Serbian pork (Mukalika) for dinner using a Betty Crocker recipe. XP Tweaked it considerably because there's no way 1 tsp of paprika is enough for a pound of pork. Added an entire tablespoon and it just got it to where it had some flavor. Needs more spice, needed fattier pork (I used loin, should have used shoulder.) M wasn't able to get to the store in time to pick up our grocery order, which meant I didn't have have enough fresh tomato, so used half a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, which worked well. Also didn't have fresh peppers, so I used some jarred fire roasted bell peppers, also a good substitution.
This time the recipe came out much better than the first time I tried it. This used to be a childhood favorite of mine, but straight from the book it's rather bland. Will continue to tweak it until it's where I like.
Baby went to bed overtired because dinner took too long to make (I kept waiting for M to pick up the groceries so I could start cooking, so didn't actually start until it became clear that he wouldn't make it) and she had a right meltdown for about 3 minutes until she laid down and realized that oh yeah, sleep is actually pretty alright.
After she was down, M and I did a quick cleanup of the house and took out the trash, then he went up the street to the store to pick up beverages and some sandwich stuff to get him and the baby through the day until he could get the grocery order after work. I crawled into bed and passed out before he got home.
All the paperwork was delivered to the audit team this morning, so I can officially wash my hands of the jail inspection business for this year. Good riddance! One more day until the long weekend.
