pondering

My mood is still lacking. But I will be fine.
I shouldn't complain. I have a good life. I need to remember that.

So...Monday I made warmed herbed goat cheese on toast with a green salad and a quiche. Last night I made gnocchi.
What to make tonight? Maybe stuffed mushrooms and risotto? We still have angel food cake and peaches and cream. So I don't have to think about dessert. It may be time to peruse cook books and think of new things to create.

Maybe I should explore Basque cooking or something silly like that.


I haven't made falafel in such a long time.... Maybe it is time to introduce Mr. Jenner to five way Cincinnati chili.

why?

I think part of my poor mood is having to come into work and deal with "David Brent". I had the pleasure of working with him. I asked him, "so what needs to be taken care of." He says in that always condescending tone. "Well I think you do shelving. You have done shelving before right?" I nearly killed him right there with the copy machine. I said, "No...I am not doing shelving. I am here to help you get your job done." (because the fucker never can do his fucking job without the help of someone else thankyouveryfuckingmuch)
He then proceeded to explain in great detail to me how to do something that I have been trained specifically to do. I looked at him and said, "yeah...I know how that works."
I then proceeded to freaking organize all of his damn stuff, place everything there and organize how everything should be labeled. I quickly finished and then helped my new favorite co-worker. Rick is the most awesome person around. I think I want him to be my big brother. He knows how to do his job, he is very funny and he doesn't take it all too seriously.

I am also having these chronic headaches. I am finding myself to be good friends with painkillers.

right pretty

I think the stuffed mushrooms turned out well. Though next time I am inclined to use less green onions.
The risotto was pleasing.

sarahparah sent me a present which made my grumpy evening seem less grumpy. I owe that lovely lady a present.


I ran across these little charms. I think they are the coolest. Everyone should have one.

Here are some others. I think I also need the Madeline and Genevieve charm.

They have things like the Muppets, The Beatles, various licensed characters, and anything else under the sun.
But the Madeline ones are too damn cute.
