Wrapping up Thanksgiving
Spent today wrapping up my trip. We went to Rainbow to get food grade hydrogen peroxide. I was disappointed that they didn't have the 35% I've been reading about, only 12%. I don't know that it matters in the end, but still. Have what I want, pleasethankyou.
Got cupping supplies (rubbing alcohol, 100% cotton balls, salve)... the first thing I did when we got back to the apartment was get the cups out to try... I still couldn't get them to create enough suction. I'm really disappointed. It was so easy in class, I don't honestly think I'm doing anything incorrectly. It's just not a difficult concept or procedure. Guess I'll have to ask around and see if anyone else has tried their cups, and with what degree of success.
Des got a new french press to replace the one that got broken in his suitcase on his Rochester trip. Best prices we've found are in the asian houseware shops on Clement St.
There's an aquarium on that street, so we looked at the fish and thought of Billy & Jeffy back in Rochester staring at Billy's tank for hours. I'd like a small marine tank when I get more settled. Just a 5 gallon micro-reef.
Stopped briefly at Green Apple books. I don't know why it's so famous, it's overpriced. I want better deals. They had an earlier edition of Paul's book on the shelves. They had a copy of Job's Body, but at less than 25% off the cover price for a new one, I was all about passing it up.
Ate at Le Soleil. Non-vegan, refined Vietnamese food. Bad food is just too convenient, and still tastes good. I even ate eggs. I didn't realize they were in something we ordered. So that's the second time in as many weeks. By this point I'm really looking forward to being back to Heartwood just for the food. Oh, and the not cooking and not doing dishes part, too.
I think over the next two quarters I need to work with my friends in the kitchen to find out how they make some things, particularly the sprouted pizza crusts, as well as how they learned this stuff. I don't want to be completely on my own when I leave in May.
So that's about it. If all goes well I should be back to Heartwood around 10.
