Thoughts from a Thursday

Cooking January 26, 2012

I was having so much fun on the couch, that I almost forgot to blog. So without further ado, today’s thoughts:

1. In an attempt to not burn my tongue this morning, I burned the very back of my throat. At least my taste-buds are ok.

2. Omg, the weather.

3. What happened to ‘The Situation’ – some sort of breakdown? I’d have one too if I were on the show…

4. I’ve made Anne’s burgers, what, five times now? And I accidentally poured in 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 2 teaspoons. Somehow they still turned out and they tasted really really good (and oily).

5. I have mixed feelings about green beans.

6. I’m two weeks into the new job, and somehow I already have NINE assessment cases. What have I done…

7. Cereal is genius.

8. I still haven’t finished Jane Eyre – is the movie worth seeing?

9. Restaurant week is now! Excited to finally get my own dessert Saturday night.

10. Are a lot of other cities having restaurant week now. Are you going?

    I have the movie Jane Eyre here – is it on DVD or is there a new one?

    We have restaurant week!

      There’s a new one, but I think it’s on DVD already

    Green beans taste better if they’re cooked a little longer, ’til the point that they’re turning yellowish green and have lost their snap. Then add butter and salt and stir. Perfect veg.

    I have seen all the Jane Eyre movies (I think) and they’re all good in their own way. I’m not sure which one you’re talking about, but I’d go ahead and watch it because it’s great.

    The bun on your burger looks really good.

      Thanks!

      The bun was great – from the WF bakery!!

    I believe you meant to say “without further ado”

    Adieu means goodbye in French and it’s pronounced [uh-dy-euh]. Sorry, I’m a French major and this is just a pet peeve of mine.

    Also, nice photography!

      Yes, I did! It’s funny because I actually looked it up to clarify and then still typed the wrong one bc it was on my mind. Thanks:)

    I have mixed feelings about green beans, too… Do I like them? Do I not like them? I’m just not sure.

    I live near Detroit, and there’s a lot of cities around and including the D that have restaurant week… and there is one this week! It’s in a more affluent city, so the restaurants are normally pretty pricy. I hope to go to at least one, so I can get a taste of what I’m missing. Maybe your photos will inspire me! 😉

    I just found out it’s restaurant week and have no idea when it started or when it ends- totes should check into that… It was the last week of the second quarter for us this week and it was chaos! Hope your last week of the quarter is a bit more manageable…
