Oh, gross! I cooked a fish filet tonight and now my apartment smells like fish and I hate the smell of fish in my place. I don't mind it in a restaurant or at the seashore, but I hate to smell it and smell it and smell it at home. I've tried air freshener and misted lavender water and set out bowls of vinegar and I can always smell it for days.

I think this is one of the reasons why I'm not good at cooking fish. I like to eat fish but I hate the smell in my home so much it's always months between cooking it. I'm down to frozen fish filets at this point. Now the reason I never was too good at cooking steak is I was too poor to buy steak during my formative culinary years.

At least I got right into washing the dishes tonight, which is a plus, and unusual but I can still smell the fish. I'm just too impatient with cooking and I can't tell how it's suppose to turn out. I just can't visualize how it's suppose to be or how to get there. It's similar to decorating or clothes where I can't tell how something is going to look till I wear it, in real life not the store, or try the decorating.

I have to wear it or look at it for a while to see if it's right. This makes buying clothes a little expensive which is why I stick to the fairly basic and am truly pissed about gaining so much weight because it means I've gone through quite a bit in clothes money. Oh, the good old days when I wore the same clothes for years and years. Well it was because I couldn't afford to buy new clothes, but at least I wasn't outgrowing them.
