Our wings are not tired.

I think they would fit nicely in the steam basket of my rice cooker.

Just cold enough that there's ice on the trees and wires but roads and sidewalks are just wet. Feeling validated at staying in.

My best friend and his wife got me one of those ceramic microwave egg cookers for Christmas and it's vastly upped my egg consumption. Not boiled, of course, but cracking a couple of eggs into it and cooking for about 1:40 gets me one of those round egg mcmuffin patties.

Just back from my first ever block walking for politicians. I was out with the Dem candidate for State Senate, but had info on behalf of her, Dem state Rep candidate and a Dem US Rep candidate. Only the National Representative candidate has primary opponents, so this was mostly getting the base excited and contacted to GOTV for the general. We were only knocking on doors for addresses associated with voting in past Dem primaries, so not a ton of houses, but it was good and I will do it again. I hate hate hate my State Rep and feel I need to do anything I can to get him ousted.

I played with my Instant Pot a bit more today. It turns out that 15-minute risotto works out pretty well. [link] I added some thinly sliced carrots and red sweet pepper for extra veg and flavor. I also decided to make some gluten-free lemon bars to take to work tomorrow (not in an instant pot: [link] ). They're out of the oven and cooling now. And there was enough lemon juice left over for me to make a nice lemon drop cocktail. A bit early in the day for it, but hey, at least it's vitamin C.

ETA: Go msbelle!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So strangely, we discovered last year that all of the restaurants around us closed when the Super Bowl was on, which put a dent in our plans to eat something.

This year, we have prepared for that, but I'd like to go to Trader Joe's, and I don't know if grocery stores close too. I mean, I wouldn't think so, but I wouldn't have thought that restaurants would close.

Here? Dallas.

Edit: But it's not a Texas thing, because it was never an issue in Houston.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've got white chicken chili simmering in my 20+ year old crock pot. And yes, I am caught up on a certain tv show.

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

Sleet this morning and now rain and it's juuust above freezing. I'm not going anywhere tonight. I decided to watch the Super Bowl but my sister hasn't told me who we're rooting for yet... luckily I don't care. I'm here for the commercials.
