Spaghetti...

I did get it all done.  I took extra time, due to the grains not being cooked beforehand.  I added spice and herb, both to the meatballs and in the marinara sauce.  And?  Meh.  It was okay.  I will not be writing home about it.  Next time I will mix burger and sausage.  There is one spice missing, to my mind, in the meatballs.  It's sort of a seed, offering a black licorice flavor.  Best crushed a bit, or the seed might be too hard.  I'll have to remember the name and buy some of it.  Best to buy it at least cracked.  While it doesn't last, the whole seeds age harshly... especially in this drier climate.  Anise seed?  Maybe.

Even so, it was a pleasant meal.  I did only use about half the meatballs.  They really were bland, even spiced rather heavily, then also the marinara.  I can't believe how bland.  Yes, fresh herbs and spices.  Well, freshly bought dry.  Smelled good going in, too.  Oh well.  I'll have some tomorrow as well.  The remaining meats will go into a freezer bag for next week.  Though I'll try to think of something else in an attempt to dress that up.  A salad would be nice, as well as garlic french bread.  I'm not so much into meatball sandwiches.  Something, to me, just off about that.

I didn't do much more in the computer room.  However, as mentioned, I did clear much of the shelving and surrounds.  I did receive allowance to return the curtains I purchased, already had the label for the sheers printed.  Upon reviewing those, I noticed the printer isn't doing well.  Perhaps it is too low, though the indicator suggested otherwise.  I cleaned and aligned the heads, that didn't help.  I might try the other printer.  They are almost cheap enough that just tossing the printer rather than buying new cartridges is the way to go.  And as messy as finding the right one can be, it may be much better to just toss.  Not green, not even right in some real ways, but it is what it is.  If that doesn't work I may make another run to town tomorrow.  I just don't want to fuss with anything else tonight.  I am tired.

Yeah, but still, a good day after a good week.  I really need to figure out the power cable from the house to the shed.  If I can get that disconnected safely, I can do a lot more limbing.  I want to do a lot more limbing.  It's good exercise, I should begin figuring out some light roping and climbing safety, and... well... the risk is sort of entertaining.  No bungee climbing or falling, mind you.  I'll keep it more practical.  Though I may see about camping up in there.  Yeah, I really would like to do that.  I don't trust the trees enough to try it in heavy weather, but sometime it would be fun to find some trees that seem more trustworthy and giving that a whirl.  You only die a bunch of times!  Or, well, some of us.  *blink blink*

Good night.
