The Trials & Tribulations of Dinner

[melcreada]

Well, I thought it would be kind of neat to make dinner tonight. I saw a lovely and simple recipe on the Food Network website so I scurried off to the grocery store for a couple of ingredients (one of which I forgot because I started leafing through the Hairstyle magazines up front).

And here is the account:

7:05 - boil pasta (easy)
7:10 - chop garlic and tomatoes. Damn! Forgot the red pepper flakes.
7:20 - sautee garlic (hmmm...garlic looks a bit mushy and yellow. Ew.)
7:30 - finish very simple sauce of squishy tomatoes, garlic, and basil. Proceed to toss it with some pasta.
7:33 - Hmmm...needs salt.
7:36 - Give up pretending to like what I made and start eating the plain pasta straight from the colander
7:40 - Bust out the picante sauce and continue to eat pasta dipped in hot sauce.

I am very, very sad. But at least I can laugh about it. Sort of.

Am tired and don't want to go back to work. I've had so many days off that my mind is quasi-convinced that I'm on vacation. Tomorrow will be a rude awakening.

Been kinda down in the dumps today. I think all the rain and fog might have something to do with it.

Finished updating my cel gallery. Woo! But the latest scans seem to reinforce my theory that the scanner is on its last legs. Should start shopping around to price a new one.

Hee! Well, who am I to argue?! This cheered me up:

Well-endowed both in mind and in body, you don't hesitate to use both to your advantage! Your confidence and sense of humour make you a pleasure to be around. You're crafty, clever and cute - a formula that would bring any man to his knees! But while your wit and charisma are definite assets, others may not be able to keep up with your resourceful intelligence. Take care not to overwhelm people with your treasures.

Which Love Hina Girl Are You?

Now, THIS one I believe!

Little Bitch
Energetic, enthusiastic and feisty as hell! You're like a bird - you need to fly! Once you've set your sights on something, there's no holding you back. You want a partner who won't tell you what to do.

What's your DDR theme?

*hugs* Don't feel sad about wasted pasta sauce, there're plenty of people who can't even sautee garlic. XP I've dumped entire cheesecake down the garbage disposal because it's mushy. >_<

*cheers Mel up with pics of Nekkid Lupin* XD Hmm... what would JP say about that? ^_~

*huggies*

Thanks, ix...I think I will start practicing my cooking skills a little more often. I should know how to do the basics, at least! @_@

Mmmm...naked Lupin...JP won't mind...

Leave it to that bare-shouldered-while-swimming-with-dolphins hussy to bring up the subject of naked cels. You should see the graphic pornography she has hanging on her walls--FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!

We're talking WHOOOOOLE shoulder here, folks. Pure skin.

Sinful.
