I bought a bunch of rice for groceries this week, thinking I could live off rice dishes for a week. Unfortunately, I forgot that I completely suck at making rice. Somehow I'll make it through the week, though. Also, I set up the food processor that my mom gave me for my birthday. That thing is a little TOO powerful. In less than 2 seconds, ( Read more... )

So I met this girl. She's pretty cool. She's a gamer, listens to a lot of the same music I do, and has similar interests to me. She's pretty. She seems to be in to me. But she has a boyfriend. Damnit, why does this always happen? D ( Read more... )

...and thus concludes 8 straight days of work. I made over $300 after taxes last week so I'm very happy right now. I might also be happy because I just ate some French dip that I made. Aww yeeah ( Read more... )

So after years of thinking my oven didn't work (after trying a few times to get it to work), I turned it on on a whim today and suddenly it started working. :x Made some cinnamon toast to test it out. So I guess I should find something to bake then. :o

In unrelated news, yesterday was the 15th anniversary of Doom. It's kind of amazing what ( Read more... )

So I found this recipe for donuts last night (since I don't have an oven and can't bake anything, I figured donuts would be a good workaround), and I'm going to go buy the ingredients tomorrow night after work. I feel so giddy. I just want to make them. Man, I'm such a fucking dork ( Read more... )

So I tried to make waffles today. Somehow I completely failed. Damnit.

Just came back from my mom's house. This was a pretty fun Xmas. Had two parties with friends and one with family over the last couple weeks. Wasn't able to afford much gifts for people. I got my sister a Lord of the Rings book set, and I got my mom Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka and Blazing Saddles. Made everyone else fudge and eskimo cookies. ( Read more... )

Depressing: Realising you'll probably never find a girlfriend.

Uplifting: Attempting to make stir-fry even though I have no idea what I'm doing.

The strangest things can lift my spirits. I wonder where the next turn will be...

So I'm practicing the art of chicken cooking. Made grilled chicken with some marinade last night, next I'll be making some sweet and sour chicken...also grilled. Baby steps, okay. :P I hope I'm cooking it right. Don't wanna end up with salmonelliosis or something. Last night's chicken seemed just right. No pink in it, but very tender. ( Read more... )

Well the last couple days have been great, visiting with family and all. Lasagna for Xmas dinner is a great idea. That way no one complains about it or anything. I also watched Christmas Vacation three times this year. That movie never gets old. Got myself a lot of Xmas presents too. Jeremy and I now have plenty of silverware...almost too ( Read more... )
