Recycling is dealt with. A mail-sorting solution has been implemented. Mail has been sorted. C&I stuff has been transferred to a rolling cart thingy. Cart thingy for the laundry has been put together and set in place. Empty bottles of laundry soap have been collected and will be taken out to the garbage presently. A better solution to the shoe/door problem has been found, and put into place. Cats have been petted.
And I experimented with chick-pea flour and made pancakes. They are...ok. Not offensive, and actually quite filling. I can see where they would be much tastier with, say, real maple syrup, but they're ok with the strawberry, banana, and coconut syrups that I tried. And butter, of course. Must have real butter. I can also see that they would make nifty griddle bread thingys for consumption along with Indian food. There's a chick-pea pancake recipe in both of my Indian cookbooks, not really surprising since they were written by the same person, but they're different recipes. I checked. There are also a bunch of other bread recipes in the vegetarian cookbook that use things like black-eyed peas, mung dal, etc. I'm not going vegetarian, but having options for bread and bread-like substances that can be eaten without massively causing havoc with my diet are good things.
Speaking of being vegivore or not, I have something like five pounds of soy flour and a couple boxes of soy milk that need new homes. I have enough trouble keeping my brain chemistry at a balanced level that I don't need to go screwing it up by adding the phytoestrogens in soy to the mix. I can't really throw them out--there's too much, and that's just a waste. So, they're free for the taking to anyone who might want them.
Back to the cleaning thing, there's still a lot that needs to be done. But I can see bits of table now, so at least there's been something like progress. Yay progress!
