Another quick run-down:

Made dinner for my flatmates tonight: Matar Paneer (Indian peas-and-fresh-cheese in a tomato sauce) and Sambhar (Indian lentil-vegetable stew; I usually use masoor dal, red lentils, because they cook faster and are easier to find). Both were pretty good; neither was perfect. The milk burnt a little while I was making the cheese (because we don’t have a big pot, so I boiled it in the wok — not the best idea), so the cheese was sort of smokey. Which wasn’t bad, but isn’t right. And the sambhar wasn’t as spicy as I like it because my flatmates aren’t big spice fans. But actually quite fun and delicious. I assume there are lots of left overs. Although I didn’t make enough rice. Still: cooking for seven people on your own is difficult.

Last night, I went and saw this ridiculous play with Aitor, in an old bordello. It was called “Por Dinero,” and was actually 13 short plays in 13 different rooms; you picked five of them to see. We got into six through good fortune. It was really fun and the plays were on the whole quite intriguing. Interesting thoughts about prostitution and such.

I’m mostly done with my applications. Working on plunging through the last bunch, yea?
