1. COOKING!
I must be incredibly midwestern because when a recipe calls for shallots, I think I am cooking some sort of exotic dish. Additionally, the more steps involved, the more gourmet the dish (duh). The level of gourmet-ness also applies to the number of terms you have to look up while attempting the recipe (roux, anyone?).
Last night I got to cook for some dear friends. It was a blast. Some talented people paint and sketch - I create with my hands as well, but end up with a very different product. It gives me so much joy to create something wonderful that can be enjoyed by others. I attempted a recipe for the very first time and it ended up
being mahhhvelous!The dish: Chicken Bacon Roulades
The description: Chicken breasts, pounded thin, stuffed with bacon, shallots, and Parmesan, rolled up, browned, roasted, then served sliced, with a creamy white wine sauce.
Want to come over for dinner? I promise to put away my Julia Childs impersonation when in polite company...
2. Random Song
All My Days by Alexi Murdoch. I just can't stop listening to it.
3. This most random picture.
My fear is that it may cause people to think I have a very immature, underdeveloped sense of humor (possibly true). I would like to blame it on working in an office. Things become 10x funnier when you have to be "all business" and stifle all snickers.
4. 30 Rock!!
For all of you out there who still think The Office is the best comedy on TV, you are mistaken. 30 ROCK is where it's at!! Liz Lemon just kills me! It is probably very telling that I can relate to her as much as I do... wahw wahw.
5. This is old news, but it still is a great part of my day: http://failblog.org/tag/g-rated/
And that's it for right now...
Enjoy!
