Saturday night
Jul. 21st, 2002 12:56 amToday, as expected, absolutely nothing exciting happened. :) That's pretty much okay, though. It was nice to just spend the day at home with my baby.
There was a moment of panic, though, at lunch. I was eating my ramen noodles and reading, and suddenly some noodles plopped from the spoon back into the bowl, which splashed the soup straight into my eye. Luckily, it wasn't hot in terms of heat--problem is that the only ones I eat these days are the Picante Beef flavor, which are incredibly spicy. REALLY spicy, even. I was picturing being blind in one eye and searing pain, etc. However, Magnus had bought an eye wash kit thing when he had his eye problem a couple of weeks ago, so he fixed that for me and I used it, and the pain was completely gone. No irritation or anything. I was so happy. :)
We went up to the parents for a few minutes tonight. They'd been to WalMart and bought some stuff on sale, including a medium-sized cooking pot. I only have one of that approximate size, which isn't quite enough. I'd mentioned it briefly, and apparently she's been looking for one since. Isn't that sweet? Dad, not to be outdone, gave us a heavy teflon egg skillet. So we got cookware, out of the blue. Yay!
Just realized tonight that the CC CD that I bought actually had the video for the first single on it. That was kind of neat. I'm currently listening to the first CD they released, and enjoying it quite thoroughly. It's been a while.. I would state quite adamantly that this was the best CD they ever made if I didn't also feel strongly that the new one is the best, and also the second one. *grin* But. This is the one that I fell in love with, and the one that I've probably listened to the most, and the one that's had the most general meaning for me. Unfortunately, it's also worn completely out, and skips in three or four different songs. Really annoys me that I can't change my title like I used to. This is a mud thing that no one else would understand, and if they did, they wouldn't understand why I can't change it like before. Well, technically, I could, at that. But I'm not on as much, the muds aren't nearly as active as before, so who would read it, and mostly--love makes you too damned happy for melancholy titles. I suppose I could be obnoxious and add song lyrics to email siglines.. hehe.
Yes, I realize that I am the only one interested in such discussion. I also realize that I'm my number one audience, so... :) If I can't please me.. who else would I be pleasing?
Don't answer that.
I'm supposed to make Mom a calendar. I wish I could get the energy to get that done so i can get the board off my desk. (It's a wooden plaque thingie that you're supposed to put a calendar in. She sent it home with me so I could use it for measurements or whatever.) Also, we should decide if we're going to go to the reunion tomorrow. I sort of don't want to, partly because I didn't think of it and so I don't have anything to bring. We should, though, I know.
We made garlic chicken and parmesan potatoes tonight, and it was absolutely brilliant. The chicken was cooked to the perfect level of doneness, and was juicy and tender still. It can get a little tough, cooked this way for so long. And the potatoes were as good as always. I have no clue why I don't make those more often. It's not like it's hard work. But it does take an hour of cooking time, plus prep time. I guess that's why. Magnus thinks it's cute that my favorite food is potato. I like them almost any way. Hmmm.. but I'm not fond of the Yukon Golds. I get queasy when I think about them. (Failed garlic and rosemary dish responsible for that one.) Oh! We went to that Mexican place I mentioned yesterday? I had a beef burrito, and it had shredded beef and potatoes in it! It was so weird! It was like a pot roast wrapped up in a tortilla! Not the best burrito ever, but it wasn't bad, either. The cheese was good--obviously the same kind used at Taco Bar. What is that, anyone know? Distinctive flavor, anyway, and I haven't really been actively cooking and thinking about food long enough to recognize stuff like that.
In any case, I'm bored with this entry by now, and it's time to go to bed, I suppose. Not sleepy yet, though. I'm sure I will be when I get in bed, though. I don't have many insomnia problems. :)
