For those who are enjoying the continuing saga of Sean is learning how to cook and how to eat right:
Tonight, I am cooking dinner. S is going to walk me through a marinade for one of my Foster Farms boneless chicken breasts, and I will cook it.
In addition, for both of us, I will be steaming some asparagus, and possibly some green beans, possibly to serve over pasta with a little olive oil and citrus juice, or possibly just served as is (with citrus and melted butter).
I will also be crafting a salad of radicchio, endive, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green onion, and red pepper.
Holy crap! Where's Sean?
Dude, this is like some evil life-switching thing, isn't it? Because I'm contemplating whether I can just get by with tortilla chips for dinner.
Edit: AAAAH! Die, accidental question mark, die!!?
boneless chicken breasts
From the boneless chicken ranch!
Sounds very tasty, Sean. Well done, you.
Happy birthday, Bev! I'm wishing you some joy this year.
From way back, I really liked Second-Hand Lions, and Emmett owns it.
We had our first Little League practice tonight! Damn, I like our team. We're young compared to some of the other teams (lots of AA players moving up - three 3rd graders! Eep! That's young for AAA), but we can play. Really a fast, athletic team with good reflexes. Liked 'em all.
We have more pitching than I thought, and we've got a little more power in our lineup than I thought. Emmett was As Unto A God at practice, crushing the ball to all fields and showing off a dominating arm, and slick glove. (He made a couple of errors including a truly graceless slide into third to keep him every so slightly humble.)
I think he's going to have more fun this year in baseball than he's ever had in his life. We've got a girl on our team this year and she's so fun! She's teeny and fast and athletic (a gymnast) and totally gung-ho.
We're going to win our share of games this year.

Let's get you to Trader Joe's this week, okay? I had their taquitos tonight and they were very tasty.
Well, okay. But I did just put in my Safeway order, finally. And I made some pasta to supplement my tortilla chips for tonight.
Oh, oh, oh - David....K-Bug made Varsity. Finally!!! First scrimmage is tomorrow.
Wow. This is fun.
The breast is on. S walked me through making the marinade, but I'm blanching the green beans and making the salad on my own.
We've made dressing before, but tonight I'm just using Newman's Own three-cheese balsamic. The blanched green beans will get lemon juice, fresh ground black pepper, and maybe just a hint of melted butter.
Well, okay.
Yeah, let's do it anyway. Because it's Instantly Tasty And Nutritious.
Also, you're coming over on Friday to watch Slings and Arrows with Juliana and us and possibly Lee.
Oh, oh, oh - David....K-Bug made Varsity
Right on! Go K-Bug! Man, I want to hear about every double she drives into the gap.
How's CJ's team look this year?
Actually I need a report from all the team 10-11 boys. How's baseball looking for both the Bens?
The breast is on.
For some reason, it was several seconds before I put this in the right context.
