Cooked leeks and ego leaks

There was a time between my come back to work and my complete recovery that I call “bitch time”. During those days my patience was very short and my list with dreams very long. I bet that this feeling came from my realization that life was short and for me, somehow, spending time into the office was not “live” but just “subsist”.

After a couple of months re-learning (or accepting) how exciting my Oracle DBA life can be, I’ve got back to normal but my credibility… hummm.. I need to work on it. I am getting the same bitchy answers back from colleagues I have been bitchy with. Very subtle and elegant answers.

My pain-body has made another pain-bodies awake. Like zombies, they try to get me into small vendettas. And I just can say thank you, because I recognize the provocations, say sorry about my bad behavior lately, and laugh.

Something else, I made this gorgeous leek with wine and thyme. Wonderful and easy.

Take four leeks, peel the external skin and save the dark green leaves. Cut the leeks on pieces like this:

Take two of the dark green leaves and slice them thin, and wash them very well (those peaces always come with lots of soil):

In a big pan, where the leek pieces can fit nicely on each other, with enough space, smelt 100g butter, add 2 garlic cloves (squeeze them) and a lot of thyme. Add also the donker green leaves and fry it for a while:
