the good news and the bad news
Apr. 7th, 2003 12:42 pmthe good news is, the rogan josh, chana dal, raita, cilantro chutney, naan, and rice were all delicious. (and it was the first time i've ever gotten basmati rice to come out perfectly, so i'm feeling very pleased with myself. funny how much better things work when you follow the instructions...)
the bad news is, the mixed vegetable curry wasn't so great (just too much coriander and mustard seed for my taste), and the screen on my laptop went south last night. fortunately the laptop is still under warranty, so they'll send fedex to pick it up tomorrow and i should have it back by next monday at the latest. the timing could have been worse, but it also could have been better. really, the worst part will be having to reinstall All That Software. the up side, on the other hand, is that since it has to go in for service anyway, i also mentioned that i can't seem to get any audio via the mic input or the built-in mic, so they're going to fix that too. which means i will soon be able to make my recording setup fully portable. i give 50 points to HP support for their quick diagnosis and general helpfulness.
hard to be too upset, since it's a lovely day and i have yummy leftovers. i'm making a fresh batch of rice right now, after which i will tackle the laundry and try to get some work done.
