Chillin' on a Friday
For some reason I figured it was time for an update, though there is not a lot to say. I have been relaxing, working on reorganizing my living space, and doing a little bit of cooking. In other words, nothing much.
Yesterday I made a strange goulash with chicken and orange juice and General Tso's spices (as well as a crapload of other things) that came out pretty mediocre. I guess not every adventure in cooking can come out marvelous. I will say that it has some nice heat to it, and the chicken is extremely tender. Otherwise, not too remarkable.
I got lucky the other day and Big Lots had stocked some Dad's Blue Cream Soda for the first time in months, and I got a lot of it. Now all I need is a little French vanilla ice cream to make a blue cream float (Yes, it is every bit as sweet as it sounds LOL). I also got a couple boxes of St. Dalfour Cinnamon Tea and a package of Thompson's Punjana Irish Breakfast Tea. Both make a good hot cuppa. I am thinking of trying the agave syrup as a tea sweetener, just to see how it tastes.
That's about it. Summer is right around the corner and I just helped Dad plant a bunch of sunflower seeds and hopefully in a few weeks we might have some goliath sunflowers in the yard. My Anaheim chili plant has a few blooms and sprouts and I am hoping to have plenty of spicy peppers for cooking up some burritos.
