Have continued to make roast garlic.
Have tried to make peanut sauce and yellow curry. The former seems relatively straightforward: peanut butter + water (for consitency) plus various flavorings. I have no access to curry paste so the curry was a bit more ad hoc: coconut milk, turmeric, "Thai spice mix", chipotle and Sichuan pepper, with pork stew meat simmering in it.
My personal laptop is in a storage unit and has been since I started traveling in 2018. I thought I had its contents on an external hard drive, but I think I must have done something wrong with an rm command, because I don't. So no acccess to my fansubbed anime or RPG PDFs. I did have my music on my phone; I only just got to extracting all that onto my work laptop (now my new personal laptop, half the weight) and thence to the backup drive. Yay, I can listen to more than a dozen things on my laptop now!
I've re-read a bunch of the Twelve Kingdoms novels, and read The Children of Sanchez
Finally exchanged phone numbers with one of my housemates, so things are a bit friendlier there.

I can usually eat one and a half meals out of an order, so even though it's like $10-12 an order it's not terribly expensive, I guess.
I love garlic but the idea of just eating it sounds too intense for me.

These are my first Thai attempts. Yeah, in January I was in Thai Town, where I could get $6 curries that were 1.5 meals (well, 1.5 curry, the rice didn't last long but extra curry could go over bread.) I'm in a mostly Hispanic area now, would probably need to pay for delivery.
Fully roasted garlic is a lot less intense than raw. Though probably most people spread it on bread rather than squirting it directly into the mouth.
