Culinary Crimes and job prospects
I did something I should have known not to do tonight; I asked the internet what I should have for dinner. And no, I didn't ask What the fuck should I make for dinner? either. (In case the domain and link text weren't clear enough, there is gratuitous swearing to be found on that site.) I asked some friends in irc, a very limited subset of the internet at large. 20:29 <@KarakSindru> Eggs, pancakes or quesadilla for dinner?
20:29 <%Moonlit> all 3
20:29 <@KarakSindru> eggs rolled up in a pancake quesadilla?
20:29 <@KarakSindru> could be tasty...
20:29 <%Moonlit> sure :D
20:32 <@KarakSindru> I shall attempt this culinary obscenity. Back shortly
I made wheat pancakes again, because I happen to like them, and a one egg omelet with cheese. I normally use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out the batter for the cakes but this time I went for a 1/2 cup, making one cake at a time in a skillet. This also gave me the opportunity to practice flipping pancakes in the pan. Easier than flipping a single egg.
Two ~8 inch diameter pancakes, one egg omelet sandwiched between, with shredded cheese. It was fairly tasty, actually. I could have been better with less fluffy pancakes, and/or a two egg omelet. And also if I hadn't burned the second pancake. All in all it was very edible and I might make it again.
Wheat Pancake Recipe
2 cups wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup brown sugar (or molasses, but I've always used brown sugar)
2 cups milk
Mix the dry ingredients, stir in the milk until it reaches lumpy, pancake batter consistency. Pour onto hot griddle and cook like pancakes.
In other news, I've been talking to two recruiters this week and should hear back from one tomorrow morning about an interview. I'm interviewing with the other Friday morning. The first job would be in Redmond, and the second would be at a new facility in Kirkland. I hesitate to say more at the moment. I don't think I'd be working directly for either company, instead contracting through the recruiting firm for at least the first few months or a year.
Still, exciting!
And tomorrow evening is the first session of a cyberpunk role playing game I'm running. The first game I've run (other than a couple of one-shot adventures) in a long while. Maybe I should plan more for it...
