Quick Friday Rundown

[pshaw_raven]

 - Make pizza dough. Mushroom and arugula pizza for me. I also need to put some marinara on to simmer, but I may have some in the freezer already, so I'll thaw that out and throw some fresh herbs in.

- I'm considering a visit to Chamblin Book Mine on Monday so I'm looking to pack a bento lunch. There's plenty to eat in that area but I'd rather eat my own cooking. At least I know what's in it. What's in it is likely to be steamed baby spinach with walnut-miso paste, sweet stewed adzuki beans, spicy tofu and veggies over rice, and maybe a corn muffin if I feel like baking. The sweet beans are from Just Bento - and she apparently has a second book out now! I've made this recipe before with great northern beans, but adzukis seem like a natural. Might throw some seitan into that veggie mixture instead of tofu, too.

- It rained. Almost an inch as of this morning's rain gauge reading. Every time I woke up during the night I heard either a patter of light rain or the drumming of heavier rain. It's drizzly, gray, and cool here today, which suits me fine. I like days like this.

- I'm starting to get a bit behind on art, but I'm still working on Inktober. I got a decent amount of work done on "wild," I agreed to do a quick Nick Wilde & Judy Hopps drawing for someone, and I'm editing race photos from our Disney weekend. 

- Is there a good way to get out of glaucoma tests at the eye doc? I have an appointment next week and I'd give almost anything to be able to opt out of that.

Ug...

Eye tests. Blurg.

Enjoy the rain, yeah? It's been the first snow for us here in Ohio, and I love it, but having to have people drive us in it is rather an interesting thing.

Also: we have a writing blog. There isn't much there yet, but if you wanna look its worldofwords

Be warnd, it's fantasy/sci fi heavy.

mushrooms are one of our favorite homemade pizza toppings. mushrooms and peppers.

it's raining lightly here, too. might pick up a little later in the day. we definitely NEED the rain.

will you share some of your art here? :)

Mushrooms and arugula, or sun dried tomatoes for me. I still haven't found a dairy-free cheese I genuinely like, so I'm back to eating "weird" no-cheese pizza for a while.
I will post some art! I put up a few more Inktober pieces I can happily share.

Re: good stuff

[beachglass]

ugh. we don't like the dairy free cheese, either.

let me know if you ever find a decent one! haha

:)

Oh yes, the anticipation of that puff of air on your eyeball is lovely, isn't it? One of those things in life that is worth enduring though. I have to wait 'til after Feb before I'm eligible again. Of course, my personal allergy season will be ramping up then. Not an ideal time for an eye exam because it will skew my prescription. But I can tell it's changed again. I need to be able to see.

The other problem is I'm almost out of contacts, and she potentially could withhold the prescription if I don't do the glaucoma test. OTOH they have one of those ... big-ass retina scanning units. It looks like the HAL9000 and takes an incredibly clear picture of your eye. From what I was reading it's also a good glaucoma check, but that may be a more experimental use at the moment. Happily the lady who gives the puff of air test is very patient with me.

Interesting! I think the main purpose of the puff on your eyeball is to gauge the pressure within. I don't think the retina scanner could do that, but could obviously see if glaucoma was beginning. There's no way to prepare for that puff. For me, the quicker it is, the better because then I'm not anticipating it & squinching my eyes closed lol.
