.. or rather, the annoying. Oh well.

The good: cooked stew and cherry pie tonight
The bad: cooked too late to enjoy either.
Oh well: taking stew for lunch tomorrow, and eating pie that evening

The good: I had fun cooking
The bad: managed to kill our disposal with one potato's peelings (never did that in my solo apartment)
Oh well: I presume if I call that in tomorrow, it can be fixed relatively quick

The good: found a rental I have interest in watching
The bad: roomie was kidnapped by her parents for dinner, so I had no viewing buddy (which is less fun for me)
Oh well: will watch tomorrow, when mothoc breezes through town on his travels

Tired from playing Wii Sports, and esp. from trying to strike with 96 pins in bowling and hit specific targets in tennis. Going to bed now.

Another recipe courtesy of FoodNetwork.com. This can also be prepared for steaks, and can be cooked on a grill pan. I prefer the alternate "baking" route for simplicity. This has a nice tang to it (though I'm sensitive to seasoning, so some out there might find it bland... who knows). Served with rice and steamed veggies tonight... worked well.

If you don't read Fark, you likely missed this gem. Yes, I'm aware that this reinforces my geekiness, but I really don't care. Major kudos to the guys who pulled this off.

Super Mario Gameplay set to music.... Listen how the game effects match the music pitch!

We'll see if it lives up to "ultimate". Sounds tasty enough though.

I have a hard time with procrastination when it puts others in a time crunch that, in my opinion at least, is unnecessary. When consequences are shared, you have to step up better.

I'll likely be a bit sour for the next while, as I'm waiting on a template for display designs that I have to have finished and sent back in two days (another group is printing/constructing the displays). It's looking like I'll be lucky to get it by this afternoon.

Not a happy camper.

I got my computer connected finally. Good to know I installed the wireless card just fine, and that I locked the heck out of our network (well, mothoc did, anyway).

We purchased some bookshelves, which will be assembled tomorrow. We have a massive DVD collection to accommodate. We also watched "Juno" last night. Good movie. I really liked having an individual as the main character, not a boxed hero with a flaw or two.

Anyway, shower and sleep now.

Feet Hurt? Stop Wearing Shoes

Heh. Interesting idea. I'd like to go barefoot more often, as I definitely feel better when I do (shoes are the first things I ditch when I get home after work). Alas for societal expectations.

Another Anko-filled dessert, though it can also be filled with lotus seed paste. This is one I often have at Chinese restaurants, and it's usually decorated to look like peaches (for cultural reasons; it doesn't actually have a peach flavor). I've found a recipe for this, but as I will be moving soon, I really shouldn't be making these any time soon.

For now, there will be raiding of the Asian market freezer section. ^^

I'll be done adding for a while after this one. I just really like Anko-filled desserts, and kept meaning to look for recipes (again, not a difficult one, but good to have on hand). This one is a gooey dessert generally served around New Years.

Posty and Hungry, bad combination. ^^ Something else new to try. Will try not to visit Food Network during lunch hours.
