More adventures in slow cooking. Today is a chicken and sausage etouffée. Bought chicken breasts and drumsticks. deboned the breasts, but left the skin on-- dredged the chicken in flour with citrus seasoning salt, pepper, garlic, nutmeg, allspice, and oregano. Browned it, then added cajun andouille and green chile and habañero sausages. Chicken stock, butter, and I cheated by using boxed dirty rice with more seasonings in it.
Finishing off with a traminer/riesling and letting it go for the rest of the day.
ETA to try to shove coffee through interwebs to belle.
Ozzie just made a truly alarming set of noises, and then threw up. On my shoes.
Barb, that sounds very very yummy. Perkins, that does not.
Woot. Work today!! WOOT WOOT!! Or you know, not.
He did! Sadly, I was two rooms away and didn't get there in time.
I'm pretending this is because he ate too fast, and not something more.
I can't eat rice, so I'm experimenting with couscous instead, which is pretty yummy, actually. Does anybody here use quinoa instead? It seems way pricier at the market, so I'm not sure if I should try it....
ita - you have all my ~~~ma~~~.
CNN has live video of it snowing in NOLA.
Fun!
I love quinoa! The Miracle Grain!
Daliah Lithwick's summaries of the oral arguments in front of the Supremes always make me laugh (even when, like this one, I want to cry): [link]
Scalia then points out that the ability of the attorney general and FBI director to do their jobs should not be dependent on the discretion of a district court judge. He pronounces district court judge the way you or I might say serial wife-beater. Not to be outdone, Alito will later wonder, in horror, "How many district judges are there in the country? Over 600? One of those district judges has a very aggressive idea about what discovery should be. What's the protection there?"
That's right. This case is about the Supreme Court justices protecting Americans from out-of-control district court judges and their out-of-control discovery rules.
