Here's a first
Mar. 16th, 2006 10:38 amI have nothing so much to say. I could rant about the Google/DOJ thing and how unsettling it is that the ACLU thinks it's okay for them to roll over so long as they initially stood up to the government....
I could rant about the Republicans using threats of impeachment to try and mobilize their already obnoxiously omnipresent base...
...but I won't.
Nothing so much has been up with me this week, yet it feels like it flew by. TheKathy, roommie Lisa and I were semi-crafty on Tuesday as we watched and tried to figure out Layer Cake (here's one question still unresolved: why was it spelled L4yer Cake? The #4 didn't come up as important...). The movie was fun, and Lisa wants to see more of Daniel Craig's stuff. That's cool, and though he's a decent actor, I'm not as enamored. We'll see how he does with Bond (saw some pics the other day...erm, not looking so good, 007).
Last night, I prepared a new recipe so I'd know how successful I would be at making it for book club. Aside from the prep time (~30 mins), it wasn't hard at all and came out fairly well, if bland-ish. The recipe was for Turkey Tettrazini. I substituted chicken for turkey, and fettuccini for spaghetti noodles. Next time, I think I'll make the chicken stock stronger by using more bouillon cubes in less water and add a lot more pepper. I've cut down the chicken and the green peppers, too, so the chicken is more in strips than cubes and the peppers more tid-bitty garnishes than bit-sized bits.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
feiran was my guinea pig, and she seemed to like it okay (except for aforementioned blandness), which gives me hope.
I'll be making it again tonight, and I think practicing it ahead of time is the way to go with my cooking for other people. I also made more kringle cookies, saving one of three rolls for the roommates' cookies, though I suppose most of that will end up feeding their dough fetish.
So, yeah, that's everything, I guess.
