Before I forget... Tramplingrose had a pictor of some  tasty-looking steak salad posted on her blog, so I swiped the idea & made it into my own... Arrum, nom nom nom. GOOD. Worthy of doing it again.
 Let it be known in advance that I am OK with these types of food touching each other, and I like the hot and cold effects.

( The Recipe )

 I made a fricking fantastic lunch, thanks to my endeavor to clean out/defrost my upright freezer. 
 I had a decent morning-- didn't cough & hack troo much. I'm still very sore, very slow-moving, and not in the best of shape, but much better than yesterday.

Holy crap, I am the goddess of turkey noodle soup. I want my soup to last forever. I was going to make curried turkey, but I ended up doing soup ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaaaauuuughhhhhh!  I ruined my beautiful potroast ( Read more... )

 Blast. I'm feeling tweakish & in need of a drive... Oh, yikes... I just remembered that I forgot to get gas today. Erm, gas would be good for driving. Including the drive to work, tomorrow ( Read more... )

What a completely shit day. It's not even over yet, as I have to go BACK to work in 2 hours, due to a SNAFU. *sigh*
I'm going to have another one of these, whatever they are, if they even have a name, besides:

1 lemon, zested & reamed for juice; save half the juice for next drink, hah! Save a small slice or two to use as wetting agent for powdered sugar. No, you may not substitute the lemon!
1 shot Absolut Citron
1/2 shot Limoncello. Drink another half-shot while ( Read more... )

 Dang.

I wish I could be in Charleston, SC at one point, during the next couple of weeks. Oooh! The productions of  "Louise" and "Don John" sound like just the type of shows I would love to attend. Of course, then there's all the rest... ahhh, Spoleto. You really, truly need to be there to appreciate it right-proper. However, I'll take whatever ( Read more... )

 So I've officially been Terminated, and I am a happy citizen.

THAT is something I will need to own, one day.  It had good parts, not-as-good parts, the theatre crowd was rather lame (& sparse at that -- too bad, I thought), but I enjoyed myself quite a bit.  
 There were lots of references to the first & second Terminator movies, but not many to ( Read more... )

  Not Terminated, it's fixed! Raineth reigns triumphant.

This is one of the many reasons why I have a lot of tools & a lot of patience for some things: whilst I was listening to/halfway watching The Terminator, I finally fixed my vacuum cleaner (correctly). Yay! Using the little hand vac was beginning to get old.
