it's getting dark as i type...
Lovely first morning of the three day weekend spent lounging on the couch reaching Clark/Lex fics. :)
The Royals finally pulled off a win against Texas at Texas, even if it took them extra innings.
I went to bed after they won, before midnight, early for me, so naturally I woke up at 5:00. I really can't sleep for more than five hours straight.
The Ford place is buying my Yaris so I'm all done with Toyota for now. Not that it was a bad experience or anything but I always fret over turning cars back, and I had put a small scratch on one side I could have been dinged for, plus I hadn't had a chance to get it washed or vacuumed since before winter and it was dirty!
I think it's getting overcast....
I have veal picatta and risotto to make for dinner. Yum!
And here's thefridayfive - Cooking Ingredients.
O1. What is your favourite condiment?
Miracle Whip. I know, I know, people hate it, but I grew up with it. I don't think I had real mayo until I was in my 20s and I still only like mayo on ham sandwiches. I use Miracle Whip on burgers, hotdogs, in tuna salad, waldorf salad, just about anywhere.
02. What is your favourite spice?
Cinnamon. My nana always used to bake the left over bits of pie crust with cinnamon sugar for me. I still do that.
03. What is your favourite cooking oil? (Canola oil, sesame oil, butter, etc.)
It depends on the food. For Chinese food I use peanut oil; for most sauteeing I use olive oil, sometimes with butter. For popcorn I use vegetable or canola. For frying eggs I alway use butter. I don't really like the cooking kind of sesame oil but I like the dark stuff for splashing over veggies, ditto with expensive flavored olive oils.
04. What is your favourite starch food? (Bread, rice, potatoes, noodles, etc.)
I'm not a bread person. Really, I could live without it, though I do eat sandwiches and burgers with buns etc. I do like flavored breads, ie quick breads like banana or blueberry. I love rice, all kinds. I can just eat a big bowl of rice with butter or soy sauce. I also love pasta. Outside of bread, I'm a carboholic.
05. What is your favourite flavour for candy?
Chocolate, preferably white. For hard candy, peppermint or cinnamon.
