Maybe there is hope for moussaka

Image
I want to like Moussaka because of the eggplant, but I have had some really BORING moussaka experiences. So when I make this one I hope the result is better. BASIC and BRILLIANT Moussaka but Better 5:30 hours of sleep. Amazing what happens if one unplugs AND goes to bed at a reasonable hour.Skipping caffeine entirely also helped but Nutella mocha AND tea probably is not going to help today.          I am having multiple computer problems. Some of it is user error. Current goal: write the daily sleep post with the computer that has only NVDA. And get new computer set up ASAP so I have the software I am used to. And walk an hour every day. Am I unreasonable yet? Friends have new kittens to foster and reports of hike on a VERY rough trail. I am such a wimp about root-filled walking experiences and one friend feels the same way.

I did A TON of laundry and did not fuss as much as needed with new computers. VERY glad for cooler weather. AC in the computer lab is broken and I have not been able to work. And if the most palatable YouTube is cat grooming with a cat that gets an almost full shave... I have not cultivated any earworms lately, but someone today mentioned BARTOK so stay tuned.

This item brought to us by the delicious #GingersAreBlackThread which ignited and spread across the whole internet.
