I'm going to Sous Kitchen again with co-workers on Saturday and am very excited!
Oooh!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Awesome. I wish we had one near us. Our friends in Wichita do Dream Dinners and they really like it. They're not cookers, generally, so it's kinda fun for them.
I have a new friend here who wants to get several of us couples together for a cooking event. The idea is that you would each cook up one recipe in large batches, and split it up into portions. Then you exchange. So you make up a huge vat of chili, say, and divide it up into however many families there are. Then you come home with chili and chicken noodle soup and casseroles and whatever everybody else made, and throw them in the freezer. I think it's an awesome idea, but we haven't done it yet.
Go you, Steph, with the packing and moving and life changes and whoo! I wish you lots and lots of energy and patience.

My mom refuses to give up on the cooking even though it tires her out and doesn't know how to cook for less than an army, so I am hoping this will be a good compromise. More portion control and less prep work.

I just found out I don't have to work at the bookstore tonight (yay!), so I'm going to head over to the grocery store and pick up some supplies for the week. I've been eating out or at the office cafeteria every day this week, and that's got to stop. Even if I just get some frozen dinners for lunch, that'll save me big bucks. I've also got to start using up the chicken I've had in the freezer for months. I've got some tikki masala sauce from Trader Joe's that I should cook with the chicken.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Crikey. Well, the only thing I need to do on Saturday is buy concert tickets, and I don't even have to get out of bed to accomplish that.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We've had a dusting of snow here with cold temps in low 20's. But we're getting our first big snow this weekend. Looks like I ordered my boots a little bit too late.
The kids need new coats, too.
