Jobs and Chilli...

So, that was my first day... It was an engineering kickoff, which basically consisted of being talked at about a bunch of stuff and then discussing a bunch of stuff. I now know the way forward for the core product and some subsidary products, some potential issues concerning different versions of the aforementioned, various potential things to be worked on by other people and the like.

I've still not actually seen the product, and only have a cursory understanding of what it actually does... but I know a lot about how it's being handled. I should actually get to have some hands-on time with it tomorrow, at which point I can start trying to work out what I've gotten myself into!

In other news, tonight I made less of my patented "too much chilli" than usual. It was still too much chilli, but there was less left over than is normal. Only about four or five generous portions, after it had served six people with all that they could eat (excluding pudding stomachs - which were of course reserved for their proper use). Usually I get at least twelve portions left, so I'm improving. It was a bit milder than usual, though. I need to work out the proportions a bit better for the smaller scale, I think.

Chilli is good... although I've never entirely mastered the art of cooking the right amount.

whenever i cook, i cook way too much. its a terrible thing really but i solved it by moving heaps of people into my house. lol. i feel abit crowded out now but there is no food wastage.

at least chili freezes!

im hoping to get my chefs ticket sometime soon, so it will give me a reason to cook too much. lol.
