Thoughts from a Thursday

Posted on Jan 26, 2012 | 13 comments

I was having so much fun on the couch, that I almost forgot to blog. So without further ado, today’s thoughts:

1. In an attempt to not burn my tongue this morning, I burned the very back of my throat. At least my taste-buds are ok.

2. Omg, the weather.

3. What happened to ‘The Situation’ – some sort of breakdown? I’d have one too if I were on the show…

4. I’ve made Anne’s burgers, what, five times now? And I accidentally poured in 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 2 teaspoons. Somehow they still turned out and they tasted really really good (and oily).

5. I have mixed feelings about green beans.

6. I’m two weeks into the new job, and somehow I already have NINE assessment cases. What have I done…

7. Cereal is genius.

8. I still haven’t finished Jane Eyre – is the movie worth seeing?

9. Restaurant week is now! Excited to finally get my own dessert Saturday night.

10. Are a lot of other cities having restaurant week now. Are you going?

More Tacos

I’m so in love with the south. 65 degrees in January? I had a faculty meeting this afternoon. I had been dreading it, but felt better after tasting the chocolate chip cheese ball someone brought!! I also got out an hour early, leaving time for a nice stroll in the sunshine. I always say I’m going to skip exercise and just take a walk, but I never actually go. I’m always glad when I do. Especially because my neighborhood has tons of craftsmen bungalows to dream about.

Fish tacos on the menu tonight. I used cod, soaked it in butter, and blackened it with my special Williams Sonoma seasoning. Topped with corn relish and avocado, these were perfect for today’s warm temperatures. (Although, I will go back to tilapia because I was not a fan on the cod – too fishy!)

I’m off to go see the musical Memphis. Anyone seen it? I’m quite excited, but will probably loose some sleep since it’s not supposed to end until 10-ish. I hope the music is good. Adios:)

This and That

Wow, you guys sure do have great info about bath mats! I need to consult with you more often.

Another day at home means I’m very ready to go to work tomorrow. It’s amazing how energizing a day of rest can be. Since I was at home today, I made a point to fill the crock pot with dinner! I used a previous favorite recipe and it turned out great.

I love big messy piles of food. And yall know I love naan.
