I diverted myself away from the the sushi thoughts by remembering (with great fondness) the Moroccan lamb sliders they used to sell at Alembic.

I didn't have ground lamb, but I did have hamburger. So I looked up a morroccan spice blend and cobbled that together from my spice rack. Kneaded it into the meat and cooked it in olive oil.

I also remembered how much I liked the garlic sauce you can get on the hamburger steak at the Japanese place (On the Bridge) that specializes in odd Western/Japanese hybrids. It was basically just a ton of finely minced garlic sauteed in butter.

So I did that in a separate pan, and tossed in some mushrooms and spinach. Mushrooms first so they could cook a bit and the spinach at the end to just get it garlicky, hot and wilted.

Combined all together on an English muffin? Delicious!

I think I'll try the Moroccan spice in JZ's veggie chili. I've been using Yves Meatless Ground lately and it works beautifully in my black bean chili.

There's a Greek restaurant about 5 minutes' walk away from work that sells lamburgers. They're AMAZING.

I'll have to go there tomorrow now DAMN YOU.

Hey, on Facebook, who is Dianne C--- in Atlanta?

She's vaguely buffista-adjacent (bronzer, maybe?) and has friended a bunch of people on FB without knowing us/the b.org. Your choice, in the end.

I'll have to go there tomorrow now DAMN YOU.

Your tongue will thank me tomorrow.

No, wait...

Ah. I guess I'm fine, then. Thanks for the info.

It's been blissfully quiet here at work. Somebody said, "I think the world died." Someone else: "Well, we need more zombie movies."

I had this whole big post but my computer froze so now I will try and recreate on the iPhone.

Hil - yay and big BOO in that order. I'm glad you found a doctor who listens.

Cass- I bruise easy anyway but with anemia it was RIDIC.

Jilli - yes, I do want the bottle. Will email you at profile addy.

Can't remember the rest.

I made lamb/beef meatballs for dinner with lots of warm spices and a nice shot of Chipotle tabasco. Served over mashed sweet potatoes = le yum

I want in on the smonster smishing!

::smish smish smish::

Whew! I feel better now.

That sounds good, too.

I had a kind of relaxing day today. I was out of building for some training that, while repetitive, wasn't too horrible. Now, if my kids were good for the sub, it'll be fantastic.

I just took my first dose of Tylenol 3. We shall see what this does. (Both whether it actually relieves pain, and how crazy it makes me. Tramadol made me somewhat crazy and barely did anything for the pain. I'm willing to deal with crazy if it's crazy with lower pain.)

My doctor was very amused when I told him that Tramadol doesn't do anything for me except make me get online and talk to my friends about giant squid.
