Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Well if my tummy wasn't already post holiday turmoil, I would LOVE these meatballs. So spicy! But I think I am going to need the Pepto Bismol tonight. I may try to tone it down with lots of rice, and a side of yogurt, if I have any.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Or more ketchup + soy?

I feel like we used to make cocktail sauce out of horserasish and catsup.

I'm pretty sure when we do shrimp cocktail, it's just cocktail sauce + horseradish.

Now I want shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I want that shrimp dip that is cocktail sauce with canned baby shrimp over cream cheese with Ritz crackers.

I made homemade salsa to go on fish tacos for dinner. I also have a batch of chicken noodle soup in the refrigerator along with quite a lot of dal and jasmine rice. I won't need to cook again the rest of this week.

Boiler just shut off. How I found my cats: [link] [link]

(Man, I need to fix the radiator shield. And the other radiator needs a coat of paint! I never noticed the rustiness before!)

Also, I need a new camera. The screen on mine is dead and it has no viewfinder. Talked to my bf who manages a camera shop, cheaper to replace than troubleshoot and repair. Ahrg.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

And at some point, I will also have sourdough.

I got a Le Creuset dutch oven and a rice cooker for Christmas, so I've been giving them a test drive! I still need to bust out the mandoline.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Similarly, I bought a crockpot today. I have butternut squash soup simmering and am shopping for cookbooks.
