Things I enjoy, today's edition

[galadrion]

Somehow, I managed to score an entire two weeks off work - I still can't believe it, but only one person requested any part of the two weeks leading up to Christmas, and that was only our last day before The Day. (We as a team are allowed two people scheduled off on any given day before any further requests have to be made using personal time

Totally looking forward to chili. I have been craving it for awhile.

Very glad we go some more sour cream though. It's going to wicked hot if the fumes from the kitchen are any indication. yummy

And now I am hungry. Time to make a snack

Man alive, that sounds good!

I admire those who not only can cook well, but who actually enjoy doing it. I am not one of those people!

*Grin* I approach cooking as a techie: maximum results for minimum effort. Also, find a good, basic procedure for something you want frequently, and then figure out variations to tweak it closer and closer to exactly what you want. That's why the Crock-Pot (load it up in the morning, push the button, check it once or twice for mid-course corrections... easy!), and why the basic spice mix is one of those chili kits you can get in the grocery store. Yeah, it might be slightly cheaper to mix my own from the bulk spices section, but if I figure the time it would take against the "savings", that puts the value of my work at about ten to fifteen cents an hour. Nah - go with the kit, and save my time for tweaking it - much better use of the time.
