The lamb was a *terrible* idea; the smell made us both too sick to sleep, and the whole thing is a greasy mess.

I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tonight I'm going to make a vat of fruity curried chicken salad which I will eat for lunch the rest of the week. I have a bunch of apples and grapes I need to use up before they go bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am still stuck on different quick and uncooked things to toss Buitoni tortellini in.
Oh, and eating out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I heated up some shelf-stable Trader Joe's veggie jambalaya, and it was nasty. FYI. I don't know what the cashier was going on about how good it is.

Should I cook them on low heat (250 degrees) for a long time (3 hours) or should I use a higher temperature?
low and slow, baby. low and slow . . .

I had some of the pumpkin butter (TJ's) with the pumpkin bread as my dessert and it was good.
The pumpkin butter I have isn't from TJ's and is very, very sweet but the tjs stuff doesn't have that problem at all.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I had a delicious giant salad but am FREEZING and wishing i had a big bowl o' soup. Maybe i'll go out and get some tea.
I made lemony quinoa, roasted brussel sprouts, and steak w/ a red wine reduction sauce last night. Yum. The steak was kind of tough but cooked to just the right doneness for me...even though I couldn't remember the parts of hand test (and I really don't cook meat much so it's always confusing to me).

lisah, we were totally almost dinner twins last night!

Yeah, or else she's a vegetarian who can't cook, so her standards are really really low.

My cousin is a landlord who owns a bunch of properties in our little podunk hometown. He says he gives the security deposit back unless the damage is more than would be fixed by what they normally do between renters. They deep-clean, and fill in nailholes and re-paint, and replace the carpet, anyway. After he told me that, I quit fretting about leaving apartments pristine, and I've always gotten my deposit back.
Yeah, I was really worried because I didn't have time to really clean my place in MD before I left and I just gave it a cursory cleaning. My landlord said he had never seen a cleaner place. Some people must be so bad that any attempt looks better in comparison.
I've eaten Polish once, and a friend turned to me, gestured at the plate and said "Isn't this why they left Poland?" It's about the only cuisine I've written off in majority. Most everything else has something I like or love. Don't even want to try again with Polish food.
I wonder what you had, because much of what people I know consider to be Polish food are things like kielbasa and pierogies (which I love, but are really foods that "poor" people made traditionally). On the higher end there are things like roasted meats with dried fruits that are quite tasty. My favorite dish is Bigos, which is a hunter's stew with pork, sauerkraut, and potatoes. I also love fruit pierogies for dessert (which are served with sweet cream on top). Luckily I now happen to live next to a great Polish restaurant.
