Wishing my friends were here

It’s starting to get a little lonely at Cardwell Terrace. It feels nice and cosy inside, but the lack of giant mirrors makes me wonder if the world has left me behind in the day. This has largely avoided me resulting from my preoccupation with assignments due in a week and a few days. At 5.34pm today my brain could no longer take it anymore, and I went on to make a pretty good medium budget steak (£2.04 for two servings), thanks to this recipe. LL says I’m getting better at cooking, which means I might have been worse before.
The trick is to keep the pan super hot and sear the steak, which should be marinated on pepper/salt and olive oil. 1 minutes 30 seconds on each side for medium. 8 minutes total for well done. Another recipe says not to overwhelm the flavor with too much pepper and salt. Rub in with fingers. OK.
Note to self: canned potatoes and peas don’t taste like the real thing.
10 bonus points for an edible budget steak meal for two.
I sat back after my last bite of steak and contemplated how I was slowly sinking into a state of stupor, having only consumed bits of food and research papers for the past 2 days. Maybe that was what made me download more emo and folk albums, and buy myself a ticket to see Feeder this Tuesday – alone.
