The Bobon21 Shoe Saga Goes on & Cooking Fail

It is currently 21.03 p.m. and I feel tired. My day was quite unproductive and had some fails. I really want to go lay in my bed, but prefer to shoot this post here first.

Today, on a sunny Saturday morning, I wore my Bobon21 low heels for the first time. I was very excited since I had been anticipating this moment for a while. Turns out they hurt like crazy. I did mention in my last post that the shoe vamp felt a little tight and manifested disappointment over the fact that I couldn't wear socks with them. Well, not only wearing socks is impossible, but walking in them isn't really do-able either (I mean if you don't mind feeling pain -gradually increasing- each time you make a step, I imagine you can walk in them all day long).

After two hours running errands, my feet looked like this.

It doesn't look that bad, but it really hurt.

Because the pain was too distracting, I had to return to my apartment and forget about errands I still had to do in the area (I was downtown).

My father works in a shoe repair, therefore my mother advised me to hand them to him, and he'll try to make them bigger/larger—I'm not sure what exactly. But there's already enough space lengthwise. Anyway.

As for my cooking fail. Three years ago, I bought a recipe book to encourage an organization that offers various services to help its local community (but also because the recipes look delicious). Sadly, I had never tried a single one until this afternoon. I "cooked" a punjabi chole from India (chickpea curry).

I can't justify why I decided to add a can of potatoes even though the recipe didn't ask for potatoes. I also added three tomatoes while the recipe asked for two. Lastly, I used only one can of chickpeas instead of two as shown in the picture.

It smelled really good. Only, the saucepan I used was too small (it was the only one I had). I eventually had to waste some liquid in the sink, unfortunately.

Showing the mess around.

The taste was strangely very bland, even after I added a substantial amount of salt. There's probably something I did wrong, I admit I'm not far from being a lost cause when it comes to cooking.

I was very disappointed in how the final result turned out and in myself. Cooking takes time and makes your kitchen dirty and in the end, it wasn't worth the fuss.

Hope tomorrow will be a better day. I'm off now.
