For Better Or Worse, You Always Get A Beer Out Of It
Zach and I are going to see The Decemberists tonight, and I'm so excited! I think The Hazards of Love is probably their best album to-date, and Zach thinks it'll be their best album ever so we've got to see it live! All I can really say is that I'm very excited.
I spent all yesterday baking. I made delicious berry tarts. I made my own dough, which I am really proud of, but I rolled it out really unevenly so it kept ripping around the berry filling, which then ran all over the place. They are very messy berry tarts but very delicious. I used Trader Joe's frozen berry mix so the thawing might be why it was so runny. I also used the food processor for the first time, and it is so fucking loud. I hate using it, but it was the only way to mix chilled butter in with flour. I'll probably try making them again. I also made manicotti. I used pre-made pasta but made the filling, so deliciously cheesy. I used ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella, a little arugula, an egg, some seasonings. I made a lot, too, so I'll probably be eating manicotti for the rest of the week.
I also ordered a new dress from ModCloth, called The Pin Up. I'm going to wear it to a wedding I have to go to with Roman this weekend. I'm very excited about it. I'm a very excitable person this week.
