Sunday...spent day in haze...consumed vsat quantities of caffiene and managed to coax myself into a suffieciently high enough state of mind to be able to go to the cinema. Saw 'snowcake' at the dendy cinema. great movie I thought. The dendy cinema is cool too. The snack bar sells hot wedges with various types of sauce. much better than popcorn.
today was a long day, i just got home having worked until 10.15pm. I did however, make a bit of a breakthrough on the suite of 'think papers' I have been working on. I finally (after reading 500 pages of statistics text book) have gotten the hang of...wait for it...hypergeometric probability distributions as they relate to financial controls attribute testing. I have to be nice and early for the operations committee tomorrow.
Its very cold out at this time of night so I am just having some chicken soup to warm up. I have become a bit addicted to it over the past few weeks. I have made several batches and I eat it all week. Its a very simple recipe (based on a far more complicated one):
- get some water on the go in a stock pot
- get a big ol' double chicken breast and trim the icky bits off, cut it into big-ish strips andthrow it in the pot
- get 4 chicken sotck cubes and 2 beef cubes - throw them in too
- get some frozen vegies (i'm currently using a carrot, pea, corn and something white mix) put them in too
- after a while come back and shred the chicken
- top it up with some more boiling water if you like (I like it nice an watery like a broth)
- eat it all week

I think we decided at grade 9 camp that the 'white bits' were suede :).
Glad its not me tackling the hypergeometric.... Wondering whether it could apply to shoe shopping?
A few shredded Vietnamese mint leaves for an Asian take on the soup.

Ok, so you miss one or two updates and nobody complain and suddenly you think its ok to miss more.
Lift your game. I really enjoy the read every morning about whats happening in the world of chickens and vegetables.

Ah hypergeometric probability distribution, the old sampling without replacement game, well that takes me back........yawn.....ah what.....oh yeh.
Chicken soup....mmmmm..... add the following
- 2 min noodles
- crack, beat an egg and stir in slowly with a fork, makes long stringy bits.
First ever day off sick today, so probably could have used some chicken soup (settled for spicy tomato instead :P).
