I bought corn flour this past shopping trip and have skimmed through http://www.donamasita.com/en/recetas/ , letting the traditional recipes inspire me. On Sunday afternoon, i started with the http://www.donamasita.com/en/receta/ALMOJ%C1BANAS.html and made two variations. One half of the batch had peanut butter and sugar added, the other had the last of a black olive hummus added. I was looking for a soft crumb and this produced a warm little bun that was soft and gentle to eat with flavor. Last night i used the same recipe (now down to "one egg, some baking powder, some cottage cheese, corn flour to make the right consistency dough," because it seems awfully forgiving) and dropped the balls into a pot of simmering and pureed creamed corn seasoned with paprika and onion powder. That i then ladled over half an avocado, in small slices, and i had another soft and gentle meal.

I just took far too much time taking an airline survey. I'm basically satisfied, but my expectations are abysmal. I don't think i fly enough to be able to tell the difference between most of the core airlines: this trip i was on American, United, and US Air. The survey reminded me of the Clooney movie "Up in the Air," with its context of frequent flyer super point accumulation. If i were a frequent flyer, i suppose i might develop some loyalty for efficiency's sake, but at my current rate of flying -- it's all the same, it seems. In reflecting on "Up in the Air" though, i realized i had completely forgotten how it ended. My memory stops when the romance between Clooney and the other power traveler skids to a halt as he finds he is her escape. I skimmed the synopsis in Wikipedia: i wonder if my memory ended with the end of the "traditional" narrative of girl meets boy.

Today is a writing about work day, and i'm already on a call. This is the new division meeting (since the beginning of July), including the folks i went through that personality assessment with last week. The last half has been about a cube reorganization that's going on in the Ohio office.

What to say about work? I need to be aware about the "i can't" reaction and give myself time to recover from it. Step away from the "i can't" trigger and give myself time to let my back of mind solve the problem. I don't know what to do about the overwhelm.
