Today was mostly spent working on comics and then doing more of my Halloween special ethics classes on Witch Hunts this evening.
I took Scully on a walk for lunch, to the pie shop at the station, where I haven’t been for a while. They had two new special pies today: pepper steak with cheese, and butter chicken. So I had to try those, and they were both very good. The woman there asked if I had a pie card, and I said no… they must be new! So I grabbed one and she clipped two of the little pie icons, and then she winked and said, “And I’ll do two more for last time.” And she gave it to me with 4 of the 10 icons clipped. Only six more and I get a free pie!
In the afternoon I decided to take Scully on another walk to get a bit more exercise. But when we got outside the air was full of smoke. Authorities have been doing controlled burns of bushland around the city today to reduce fuel before the summer fire season, and the prevailing wind blew it in my direction. It was quite thick and awful, so we cut short our walk and took a shortcut home. And when I got home I closed up all the windows to prevent the smoke getting in.
For dinner before my classes I made a Moroccan chick pea thing with tomato, spices, and some haloumi cheese. And for a bit of vegetable I threw in some broccoli, though I don’t think that’s very Moroccan. Unfortunately I tasted it and thought it needed aa bit of saltiness, so threw in a stock cube, and it ended up too salty. I should have only used half maybe. But I added some lemon juice and made rice to go with it, and it was okay.
