The only fool here is me

Apr 01, 2009 10:06

I have mentioned that I hate the wind, yes? Because I do. Like, mortal enemy hatred. Why do I live on the black land prairie again? 45 mph gusts, steady wind of 25 mph. 8 miles today, and I'm worn the hell out from being beaten around by that dastardly wind. And I don't know how it manages it, but I left the house in one direction, came back ( Read more... )

wind: i hate you, zombies, recipes

Yay for Zombie Jesus Day! I love saying that to people. Most of them laugh, but there's always a few who look puzzled. And then you get to be all, "but he died, and rose from the dead a few days later? TOTALLY zombie!"

You may have wind today, but we have a rain/snow mix. Ahhh, yes, what fun.

stoney321 April 1 2009, 15:35:13 UTC

I even wrote a song for Zombie Jesus Day! It pleases me so.

BAH to the rain and snow mix! Although with how hard it's blowing here, I don't know which is worse. :(

This weather is making it very, very difficult for me to plant my (now a foot tall!) peas outside. GRRR. Maybe Zombie Jesus would intervene on my behalf if I asked?

Time to start running in goggles and a bird flu mask, or better yet: a full rebreather gas mask. Stylish, healthy and will make you used to the mask for the upcoming zombie apocalypse (the virus will be airborne, you'll see).

I want one of those recirculating suits from Dune, personally. I could be out for weeks, drinking my own pee, protected from the sand worms, too!

OMG! You must listen to this. It's one of my favorite This American Life episodes, and has a few catchphrases you'll be running around saying.

Your excursion sounds crazy delicious! Ahaha, I totally remember that friend. Do not fear if she shows up with engraved sterling silver gardening shears for you; she ordered them for everyone this season!

stoney321 April 1 2009, 15:36:38 UTC

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH, oh my god, you know something like that is going to happen, too. I'm going to make sure I get the bill this time, oy. SO FUNNY.

I will think of you as I nom some delicious vegetarian cuisine, my sweets!

Mmmm, all those foods sound GOOD. You'd love my road; 2 x indian & halal, 1 x greek, 1 x maroc, 1 x oriental, 1 x norwegian, 1 x italian and 1 x polish food stores, plus indian (3), spanish (1), chinese (2), thai (1), italian (2), lebanese (1 and so good, altho sort of alarming at the same time), caribbean (1), specifically jamaican and one greek (forthcoming!) restaurants/takeaways/slightly terrifying one-rooms. If you ever make it over we will go and gorge. I had thai last night with my parents, who were visiting - pork & long beans, AMAZING.

stoney321 April 1 2009, 15:37:52 UTC

I LOVE FOOD and I would love your block, oh my god I would gain three stone.

We will TOTALLY gorge on deliciousness. I LOVE long beans! I'm growing my own this season - I like to stir fry them in a ginger/fish sauce/soy mix and add dried shrimp. NOM NOM NOM!

slasheuse April 1 2009, 15:41:35 UTC

Oh dude! That sounds amazing. What's dried shrimp like, i haven't encountered it? No srsly, I have to look neither to right nor left or it's like O HAI LAMB PASANDA, YOU TASTE SO MUCH BETTER THAN COOKING FOR MYSELF.

Altho I am actually cooking quite successfully now! Although basically. But I'm getting better at making interesting sauces, you'd be proud. For stirfrys and pasta this is. I'm still nervous of cooking meat in case I accidentally kill myself.

stoney321 April 1 2009, 15:43:23 UTC

They're a little cello-package of wee-small shrimp, like crumbled bits of bacon. Salty goodness!

Hahahaha, cooking meats are easy: just think that humans have lived with success for 150,000 without refrigeration, so you can't screw up too badly, right? ;)

Wow, I thought the wind was blowing here! it's kicking up so much crud, and I was already all sinus infection-y. Blech!

We oriental marketed this weekend. Sooo many levels of fun. The guy behind me was buying durian popsicles. I have never delved into the frozen sweets section, but will next time.

Fave find this time around was hors douvre sized vietnamese spring roll wrappers! They're the size of a corn tortilla. I can't wait to make a batch of appetizers for our next party.

Yay Zombie Jesus Day! I'm making challah and lemon curd just because that's what I'm craving right this minute!

stoney321 April 1 2009, 15:41:50 UTC

Oy, my face was a MESS. I went through all of my tissues on my walk, too. BLEH.

DURIAN POPCICLES!! I've had that, they're better as ice cream, though. Red bean ice cream is pretty nommable, too.

MmmmMMmmmm, I want those wrappers! I'll keep my eyes peeled, what a great idea!

LEMON CURD. I think I could marry you right now, I'm just saying. It is my FAVORITE of the curds. ;)

At the Asian market we go to, in Arlington, they sell whole frozen Durian, and they have a sign above them that says "ALL DURIAN SALES ABSOLUTELY FINAL". There used to be a dim sum place right by the market, but I think they closed. Need to get back out there, I am out of Pocky.
