I played bowling today. I was not as good as I thought I'd be. It's hard to roll the ball into the pins like you want. It was fun though. And bowling alleys always sell beer: fantastic idea.
digging on drive by truckers right now
gonna go on and see charlie parr in a couple weeks.
I figured out the blank comment glitch, b/c it happened with me: when you edit, if the stupid jerk is still swirling and you click off, thinking it will just do it's job, nope. It erases all. So you have to wait for it. Perhaps this is something to post to the bug thread?
As someone who used to live with so much depresion, I think I slept more than half of my life away a while ago. So rising at 5 is like my Hail Marys. I feel so dignified and get upset when I wake up late, late being for me, 5:45. Can you imagine?
I'm kind of enjoying the Rock of Love...a friend hit the nail on the head with that show ...it's "dumbing us down" though. Don't you feel that way? Vegging out is good, but I personally hate reality TV and dislike most TV actually. However I watch cartoons sometimes! Talk about paradox to dumbing down.
Well I know that for a long time they kept "iceboxes" where a large block of ice was placed inside a special cabinet that would keep some foods cool. (I believe it was on a shelf at the top with a special drainage system for the melting liquid to drain) The blocks of ice could even be delivered for convenience.
Living in Florida sucks because almost any where you need to go you have to drive. So it makes a difference when prices rise. It's around $3.30-$3.40 right now.
We saw Cloverfield today. It was slightly better than I expected given my dislike for JJ Abrams. Though, it was very JJ Abrams-y in my opinion. It was exhausting to watch, which, I guess would be a good thing.
finally also got to see Sunshine (rental). Also incredibly exhausting. The first hour is visual and psychological and... Read More
Where is that hilarious thing you made for me....with the kitten asking if she can has Paul Banks plz? My previous computer passed away so I don't have it now!
So I guess they killed Bhutto. Completely fucked up. I can't say I'm surprised... but it's fucked up
I just got out on a short stint in l'hopital again. (hm... I thought I knew how to say "again" in french but I can't recall for the life of me. The internet says it's "de nouveau" but that doesn't sound right to me). Happy holidays indeed.... Read More
Good to hear you're all-graining. And there is something to be said for simplicity, hell my best batch to date was my least complex grain bill.
I found the recipe I was looking for. It's suited for pairing with a good lager or pale ale.
Garlic Chicken
4 - boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 - egg white
1 - tbls. cornstarch
1 - tbls. dry white wine or sherry
4 - green onions
1 - tsp. minced ginger root
3 - tsp. minced fresh garlic ( more if you like it like I do)
2 - tbls. veg. oil
Hot cooked rice ( I like short grain or jasmine)
Sauce (I like a lot of sauce so I triple this)
1 - tsp. crushed chili paste (sambol oelek) - I use half of the amount, but I'm a pussy.
2 - tsp. sugar
1 - tsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 - tbls. water
2 - tbls. dry white wine
2 - tbls. soy sauce
Directions
Place chicken breast in freezer until firm. Slice crosswise into thin shreds. In small bowl lightly beat egg white, then mix in 1 tbls. cornstarch and 1 tbls. wine, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved. Add chicken and mix well to coat all pieces. Let stand at room temperature 30 min.
Meanwhile, slice green onions on diagonal into very thin slices. Mince ginger-root and garlic. Combine sauce ingredients mixing well. Heat wok, add oil and stir fry chicken until no longer pink. Remove chicken with slotted spoon. Add onions, ginger, and garlic to wok and stir fry about 30 seconds until ginger-root and garlic are fragrant but not brown. Return chicken to wok, re-stir sauce ingredients and add to wok. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is well combined, hot and bubbly and thickens slightly. Turn off heat and splash with about 1 tsp. of dark sesame oil.
Despite (or maybe because of) my last entry...I got a job.
Amazing. It's the lowest paying of any of the jobs I applied for but it's the one I really wanted because it's in a field I'm interested in. We'll see if that makes a difference. I have never had a job in an area I thought I'd be interested in; I'm still a... Read More
Well, last weekend was probably one of the best ever.
We went out of town, ordered pizza and sandwiches in for almost every meal, had what was probably the best sex of my sweet young life, and saw Black Rebel Motorcycle club.
Bitchin'
Sunday shows are always the best, probably not for the band, but for the intimacy and lack of other people (plus, drinks... Read More
