2006 April 1 - April Fool's Day

Orange juice
Turkey bacon
Marmite toast, wheat
Orangina (very much Orangina, 1.75L over the course of the day)

Banana
Caffe Americano, Joe's Bay Blend (not actually a recent aquisition from Trader Joe's, rather, a giant tub that has traveled through my freezers since I moved to New York)
Ronzoni Rotelle 124
A sort of mulligan sauce I conceived to purge my fridge of some ingredients that have been lingering too long, most particularly a jar of Vitarroz brand spaghetti sauce that I bought for approximately 60 cents at C Town under the logic that I could mix other ingredients in to make it palatable, an idea that quickly lost its appeal and last night turned out to be wrong.
Vitarroz plain spaghetti sauce
- Basil
- Garlic
- Capers
- Mushrooms

Blue & Gold
Guinness
Four Blue & Gold Lager
Two Stella Artois

The gals on the first floor
One cup of beer from a keg - likely a relatively weak American Pilsner

Sitting on my couch in the glaring light of Spring Forward watching TV and nodding off
One 12oz bottle Coors Light

For the scientifically minded, be it noted that in my time at Blue & Gold, a Guinness is a pint serving, while the other beers tend to be served from pitchers into 12oz glasses.

Despite the shortcomings of the pasta sauce, I discovered in the middle of its preparation that I was cooking on three separate burners at once - my caffe americano being made with espresso from a moka style pot. I am actually not sure that it was the first time I was tending to three burners at once, but it seems likely. I was most pleased that I was doing so without particularly panicing that I would burn a pot, scald a sauce, etc.

I guess I pulled a pretty good April Fools with the way I spelled "acquisition."
