I do "international date nights" with my girlfriend, where we pick a country and make some food from it and enjoy a bit of its culture.

Tonight is Bulgaria. We're making tarator (cold cucumber soup) and shopska salad and drinking a Bulgarian mavrud red wine and snacking on kashkaval sheep's cheese. I've gotta introduce my gf to some chalga music while we make dinner, and we'll watch the Bulgarian movie "In the Heart of the Machine" while we eat -- it's about a group of prisoner factory workers in communist-era Bulgaria who find a pigeon trapped inside of a machine and they work together to rescue it.

A Buffalo chicken pizzoli from Marcos. First time I’ve had one, and it was actually really good!

Don't want to cook tonight. Clotted cream (microwave heavy cream until all the water's gone) on raisin swirl bread and a can of soup.

We had curry, but the rice cooker lied twice about being done so I'm looking into a new rice cooker because this one is naughty sometimes.

Chicken, rice, and corn.

Pizza pi closing at work.

I cursed myself by mentioning it yesterday, so I’m having beef shanks braised in homemade tomato sauce with red wine, and homemade fettuccine.

Just got done cutting the pasta. I should be eating in a half hour. I’ve been cooking for two and a half.

I only keep going because I know it will be worth it.

ETA: OMG it was so worth it
