Burnt Offerings

Planet Tokyo Felt a meltdown post almost coming on, but I'm good now.  Had a laugh at something here and I've come good again. Frying some fondant potatoes and have put on honey glazed carrots.  The sausage frying I don't have to do, because I'm not good at that; so it's done by someone else. LOL ... oops.  While I was playing on here, I forgot the fondant potatoes.  Burnt them.  I was hoping I wouldn't get caught but I've been caught and there's grumping here:    burnt food because I was on the computer and I'm "always on the computer", which is my 'bad' thing all the time. True. I can't argue with that.  I'm addicted to playing on here. Cut off the burnt bits.  Then I tasted them. LOL Didn't taste too bad (but did taste  ...  burnt, LOL).  I haven't got a hang-up about burnt food like someone else here does. It's not like I'd go out of my way to eat something burnt, but it's not the end of my world if it is. I'd have more of a problem eating something with maybe a foreign object in it. There's grumping here still. Someone's banging in the kitchen. Not super loud. Just loud enough to let me know I'm 'bad'. LOL I've discovered a special talent the other day. I can tell if alcohol's been consumed by just the sound of a tiny quaver in a voice. I think that's a pretty amazing talent (but I don't know if it's universal, or if you must know the voice).   I'm like the 'hearing dog' of alcohol consumption. I used to be the 'sniffer dog' of alcohol consumption, because I could smell it at several paces. But now I've graduated. LOL Watched an some Ayatolla videos (the new Ayatolla ... I can't remember their names and am too lazy to look up). I couldn't work out if the Ayatolla was speaking Iranian (Persian) or if he was speaking Arabic. Watched the 'Great Satan' clip.  The Ayatolla makes some valid points about capitalist American politician conduct:  tempts and deceives, kills, imposes sanctions and behaves hypocritically; raises the flag of human rights and claims to support human rights (that's the hypocrisy part); presents well etc.  I think I need to watch it again to remember it all.  I was watching the women in the audience.  They seemed to be really attentive, like they were 'star struck' or something.  I'd have to watch more clips, but the Ayatolla seems cool. It looks like it could be Persian that he was speaking (which is said 'Farsi', meaning Persian, in Arabic ... because the Arabs can't say 'P'). I'm not certain it was Farsi. Might watch some more clips later. After the Ayatolla, I watched the early August interview of Assange on RT's 'Going Underground'.  I'd briefly watched some earlier clips before that, but sort of flicking through.  Sounded like he's maybe got a cold in this one. The most interesting thing for me was that Hillary Clinton is locked into cronyism for supports and that this has costs, as Hillary Clinton is therefore sort of hedged in, in terms of the decisions that she can make. Wonder if that will somehow be exploited by Clinton's opponents in US politics? I kind of knew she had a buddy system happening but I thought it was more like a loyal supporters thing than what it is: like an exchange, where they serve her (probably even corruptly, as was the case recently) and get rewarded by a Hillary Clinton who stands by them, no matter what (as demonstrated by her hiring the disgraced DNC ppl). That also explains why she hired them, which was controversial but I didn't really understand fully why it was such a big deal. The switch of attention from Hillary Clinton's dealings with Russians to Trump's non-existent Russian 'ties' was a good move by Team Psychopath Hillary. ...  20% sale of Uranium One, I think it was, to Russian interests while she was Secretary of State and what sounds like Russian kickbacks to her 'foundation' are more attention-worthy than Trump's non-existent Russian 'ties'. Trump apparently hasn't had success getting investments off the ground in Russia. Erdogan got mentioned. But I can't remember that bit. I was trying to groom my eyebrows while watching, which was quite the exercise in logistics, because I needed my things, mirror, light etc at the my 'desk' spot. Hate my eyebrows. I'd like to shave them off, but I don't look good without eyebrows. And when I did do that (waxed clean off), back when I used to do long walks, I would sweat and the sweat would run into my eyes. So it's maybe not practical. But I'm wanting to do it, or wax off my brows entirely, just because I don't like them.  Something's bothering me about the shape, but I don't know what. I just don't like them. Back to maybe watching some Persian clips, I guess. Can smell the beef sausages frying.  I'm not sure I can eat them.  I don't really like (all) meat that much.  The smell is making me sick.  I can smell the fat.  I don't like that smell.  -------/\/\/ MEAL is not to my liking.  Carrots on the hard side because I accidental turned off the carrots instead of the potatoes ... and then I burnt the potatoes TWICE.  Sausages taste horrible.  Even the onion chutney I recently made isn't to my liking.  I don't like the meat, so this is no meal for me.  LOL ... I  might have to have a peanut butter and jam sandwich.
