The chicken I made tonight (er, as in Sat night, although it’s after midnight as I write this) w/lemon, cumin, and mint was *delicious*! The asparagus I tried did not turn out well, but I’ll try again tomorrow. But the pièce de résistance…I made an impromptu potato and leek soup, using red potatoes, and it was PERFECT. As I was eating the soup tonight I thought to myself, wow, I really can cook, lol. Good stuff!

At Wild Oats today I got a few new things to experiement with: blackstrap molasses, pearled barley, and buckwheat groats…I got the groats because as I looked over the available grains, the name “groats” made me smile. It’s fun to say. ;-) We’ll see what I can make out of it.

Woot! And…a co-worker gave me a LE CREUSET DUTCH OVEN! In red!…

  • Ambrosia FTW!

    This was not set up, I swear to whatever-higher-power-you-want-me-to- swear-to. I’ve got some BSG figures & knick-knacks set up on a shelf, a shelf one of my kitties loves to get on to. When she does, I shoo her off, and the resulting movement of the shelf often makes items fall over (cue annoyed grumbling)….
