Pasta, SpritzerCategory: food
I was going to post my awesome recipe for a simple pasta cassarole, but the pasta is too sticky and the flavor is good, but weird. I attempted the Rachael Ray Southwestern Pasta Bake but didn't feel like making the cheese sauce and instead tried to - well, it doesn't matter. It's edible, but as a choice between this and a nice bowl of cereal . . . I'd probably take the cereal. The chicken came out good though:
- 2-3 chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces;
- season with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, italian seasoning (this is where I lost the "southwest" part of it);
- put EVOO in the saute pan, twice around the pan;
- heat, toss in chicky;
- stir until cooked, splashing a bunch (a tablespoon?) of lemon juice halfway through;
- add to something that is not my horrific pasta disaster. Maybe a quesadilla? Or with some rice.
(e:matthew), did I tell you about Gluten Free Girl? She's incredible.
So here's a recipe for a Saratoga Spritzer. I can't find a reference for it online, so I'll go with the recipe in my head (courtesy of my mama):
In a chilled glass (ALWAYS keep glasses chillin in the freezer), combine a tablespoon of lemon juice (more or less, to taste) and 2 sugar cubes.
Add Ginger Ale and some ice.
Add a few dashes of Angostura Bitters on top.
Swirl.
Enjoy.
You can use sprite or sierra mist or 7up too.

MarinaCategory: sailing
Seeing as (e:leetee) and (e:paul) have both written about the Marina this week, I wanted to add my own pictures from last night.
my captain, showboating in the laser :)
my dear puppy, demonstrating how easy it is to walk around our deck.
my dog eats ropes. she also falls in lakes, but she has her own life preserver. Yes I love my dog, what of it?
on the dock.
an after sunset view, facing west.
See all the sailboats? If you go out in a motorchoker, and hear a dog barking at you, that's my puppy. We've already trained her to bark and growl when the words "george bush" or "dick cheney" are spoken; now she's starting to bark when hearing the roar of a speedboat engine too.

hehe, you bring out the sailor-snob in me. But- what's a motorchoker? But yeah people like to get all 'oh yeah I have a boat' and I'm like "oh really? cool" and then when they say "it's a blah blah blah powerboat" I totally tune out and lose interest. Sailboats are where it's at baby! (instead of ballet/karate as kids, we all took sailing lessons, and we would take the lasers out for "turtle drills". It was fun.)

She hates all politicians equally, though the prez and VP consistently get her to growl ferociously.
John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and to my surprise, Scooter Libby also get her going.

Darn, I guess I can't show you my hand signed pictures of the Prez and the VP with your dog around. :(

New SiteCategory: web
Not that my identity has ever been too mysterious on here, but with my new married name has come a new, super web site
Thanks to Paul's API system, I can pull in content from my journal here directly to my site. For those of you who have other web domains and a willingness to muck around with some PHP, it's a great way to spruce up your site.

I like your what I want to learn section on the site. I should integrate somethign like that into estrip. Might be interesting to have a what I want to learn, and what I am capable of teaching section. Maybe then people can match up. Or even in groups.

You site looks great, I am glad to see that someone uses the API. I am thinking about developing a clientside javascript version, so that more people can use it.

oh...my...god.
I wonder what she's on, since that's the only possible explanation.
I like when she climbs off the piano and kind of goes "oof".
What a terrible voice, too.
Wow.
