  • Still Quite Snowy!

    Okay, I really have no excuse for the short post, but actually, I kinda do. I cooked a lot today. I fulfilled my snow day fantasies. I made hot chocolate and also had orange juice and chocolate milk. I made some scrambled eggs with a little American cheese, pancakes, French toast, sausage, and bacon for breakfast. I used the carcass of the chicken I posted last night and some chicken feet to make some chicken stock. Last night, I cut up veggies for soup. I made latkes. I didn’t use the same recipe that I did last time. I actually didn’t use any recipe… that’s nice, I can make latkes now. Okay, so I guess you’re all wondering what I did. I peeled and grated russet potatoes. Well, I actually grated 1 1/4 onions first and let it sit in a mesh sieve for a while to see what kind of juice I could get out before the cheesecloth. Speaking of, someone remind me to buy more cheesecloth. It worked like okay. Grated onion is a very bizarre thing. So slimy and wet. Not in the good way, really! Okay, so I mixed the grated and squeezed potato and onion. I added some salt, pepper, onion powder, some fresh dill, and a little garlic powder. Also, matzo meal. And I mixed that up. In a separate bowl, I whisked 4 eggs and a little bit of my precious Duvel beer together and then poured it in with the rest of the stuff. I used 4 potatoes, by the way. I think I do agree with the 1 egg per potato general rule. I wonder if I forgot anything important!! I cooked the latkes in schmaltz, as usual. 

    The apple butter freezes well! It thawed nicely! I made chicken soup. I’m gonna have more tomorrow and add some egg noodles to it. I think I’m gonna make cheeseburgers for lunch or dinner tomorrow. I don’t usually have 3 meals a day, but I’ll often have 2. Definitely at least 1 a majority of the time. I’m planning on making… pretzel buns… I don’t have lettuce or tomato, but I have pickles and onion. And bacon. I’m wondering what sauce to make exactly. Someone suggested bourbon burger sauce to me on Friday, so I’ve been thinking about that ever since…. I wonder how the roads will be tomorrow. I’m the luckiest gal on the block early this week. Snow! Okay that’s not even like that short considering… I find myself most excited to write about cooking. I wonder if I should take anything from that. I need to be the cook and leader of a group… 

  • Snowy

    Snow is snowing. USA men’s hockey won. That’s nice. I made chicken today. Gonna make soup tomorrow. It will be nice. Banned from the streets. I was born for them though…

    No way it’s looking like we’re coming up to a snow day. I need to stock up on beer still! Not good! I have a love hate relationship with things not being in writing. Winter is here. It’s been here for a while. It’s not going anywhere for a little while longer at least. Most of the remaining snow basically melted today. Now there’s more imminent. I need to wake up early tomorrow for hockey. I woke up today, but I was mistaken lol. I looked up the game time and it said tomorrow 8:10… must’ve looked after midnight… happy USA women’s hockey won gold I guess? 

    It’s kinda hard being mentally ill because no one really likes mentally ill people… especially if they act mentally ill. Eating a ton of rice tonight. Yellow rice. Not much to say still. I am being drained of my soul a little lately. Trying to not be. We’ll see how that fares. I’m not funny.

    Because… Oops! I did it again!

  • Poot

    It’s Thursday. Thinking about LiDAR and ground penetrating radar. Electromagnetism too. Magnetism in general feels like magic to me. Physics is crazy. Wondering what we’re on the cusp of discovering. I’m so bad at talking to people, I wish o understood math. Hate being micromanaged. Would rather do 5x the work on my own volition. I wish I wasn’t so tired. Is it really that I don’t drink coffee… I need aliens to rescue me. Like I’m a shelter dog. 

  • NOOOO

    I missed!

  • Title

    My bad for being so bad lately! I guess I don’t have much to say lately that’s novel. Same thing different day. Our world is ruled by those sick enough to grab power. And never let go. I’m just legit upset that nothing seems to be changing in a good way. Does it always feel this bad? I feel like it wasn’t always like this for my short life. I would be spying on the masses too in their case. They should be afraid, technically. And they are. But like… not enough and it’s because they know we very likely will do absolutely nothing. Shit sucks dick brah.

  • Fried

    Big day once again. Feeling tired… once again… I made two different fried dishes today. Chicken fried steak and chicken parmigiana. One, I’ve never made, the other, I’ve made quite a few times. I didn’t love the chicken fried steak. Not ready to talk about it yet, but don’t worry, I took a few notes, so I won’t forget the important details. I must rest.

    Apparently Kevin Durant’s burner twitter has been exposed. Can’t trust people forever! Especially not randoms on the internet. Especially when you have nothing to lose. I’m nervous for an expansion draft eventually. What do you call a new team in Seattle? What if we brought back the Montreal Expos? I think Raleigh would probably be a good spot. 

    I think I’ve been sleeping poorly. I feel it in my back. My upper back gets messed up so easily. It’s so hard getting old (being a passenger in a car accident at 21). M What if we pretended that microplastics in our brain are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now…

    Thinking about how there was a seemingly used pair of underwear on the sidewalk in front of work a few months ago. Never heard anyone else say anything about it. I need to know what other people thought. Does no one else care? Am I a bigger freak than I thought? Anyone else thinking about how they need to clean?

    I’m tired! Cooked a little. Look!
