so frustrating

cooking is abut the most interesting thing i do here. so when i cannot get an ingredient, it frustrates the hell out of me. i am trying to cook this. but you know what? it seems that nobody in des moines carries proschiutto. wtf? on my next day off, i am a man on a mission.

i opened this morning, so i left the house at 4:20 am on my bike. interesting, especially since i didn't realize that many of the streets in this semi-rural setting are not lit.

in other news, i have a zit on my chin and it's the kind that hurts. i know, i am a whiner.
