Todays picture shows a snowman a friend of mine rendered. It is from a Blender tutorial, if I remember correctly.- Woke up quite early (although I set no alarm clock). Had a nice breakfast with my family.
- Since my mother and sister had to go to the city center to buy some stuff, I prepared lunch. It was quite difficult, french fries and and rissoles (right usage of the word? never heard or used it before) from the freezer, prepared in our brand new Tefal Actifry. It's quite a strange machine, but for making fries and warming stuff up, it's really good. I split the stuff in half because frozen potato sticks need quite a lot of space and there was not enough space for everything. When the fries were warm and soft and there was some room, I added two of the rissoles to try it out. After about 20 minutes the fries were almost done and the rissoles were perfect. I put everything in a big bowl and put in the rest of the fries. Then my mother and sister came back. Then there was enough room for the rest of the rissoles and I added them and suddenly my mother and sister got mad: "What are you doing?" "Why did you do that?" "You can't do it like that!" and stuff like that. Of course, I left everything the way it was. My sister left the kitchen talking about me being so stupid and her eating somewhere else. They were also sure that I made too little fries and were talking about them eating until they were full and me getting the rest, if there was any. So, after 20 minutes the rissoles were perfect, I put them to the first two and put a dish on top of them that they stayed warm. Added the first portion of fries to the Tefal machine thing and voila, 5 minutes later there was tasty lunch. My mother had prepared some salad, too, so it was not only fried and warmed up stuff.
- During lunch my brother mentioned that he would go running in half an hour and my sister said that one shouldn't eat 1 1/2 hours before doing sports. I sometimes have problems with my stomach when doing sport, either because I ate too much and too short before the sports session or because I did not eat during the last few hours. So I try to eat a banana or something about one or a half hour before doing sport. I mentioned that and the discussion started, that I was obviously wrong because what my sister said is scientifically proven. She said that. I answered, that this might not be a good phrasing, because eating a little does no harm. I got the answer, that a full meal is not a little, therefore I explained to them, that I was not talking about my brother but about her sentence in general, stating, that one should not eat anything at all, which was obviously wrong in my eyes. At that point my sister had already stopped talking to me and only informed the others that I was obviously too stupid to listen to her and all that. Well, well, I think I would be pissed if I was not used to this. But since she stated that she hated me and that I should please die as soon as possible and never apologized for it, I don't care. It is true, that she knows more about those things, since she just finished her 3-year training to be a dietician, but always being right, not being creative or flexible anymore, not being able to learn new stuff and, which is the most important, not being able to explain what she just said or why she is true, is definitely bad style. There's also no excuse for behaving like an asshole most of the time.
