this morning's celebrity schadenfreude

my thought process.

If all goes to plan I shall be making a stuffed roasted pork loin. The choice of stuffing will be a polenta that will have walnuts and golden raisins in it. I think it will work rather well with the pork and give it a touch of sweetness that works perfectly with that kind of meat. I will have my starch and protein together. I will then put brush some dijon mustard on top and sprinkle with bread crumbs which will give it a beautiful crust. Then I will steam some broccoli and make a spinach/roasted bell pepper salad. I am feeling some inspiration or I am doing my best to distract myself from doing useful stuff related to my wedding.

I acquired some pretty little wine from Argentina and I have a feeling that it might work well with dinner.

Time to think about food. If I have time I may also figure out the exact measurements for the cookies I made last week so I can share the recipe.

because I can.

( baaaaaaa )

pretty things.

I have a cool boss at work. She and I have always gotten along from the start and I can always come and 'splain things to her and she is always pleased with my work. It is good to have someone like that in your corner. She and I have a thing for perfume and various girly products. We share an affinity for Jo Malone and we will tell each other about new things we find. She is envious of the fact that I smelled the new perfume she heard about. Today she told me about this new line called I Hate Perfume. They are alcohol-free perfumes that are mostly water-based or essential oil based and they aren't over-whelming. I suspect this guy is going to become an amazing nose (those are scent experts) with some of the work he has done. I think my sister and mother would like this. My sister can't seem to wear perfume that has alcohol in it. It always smells odd on her.
this perfume seems to have been made for my Mother. I must find some for her.

A Seinfeld moment comes true.

I love the gimps.

I love looking at petfinder, especially the special needs dogs because there is always something hilarious in the description. Things like the small dog that needs to be squeezed so they can pee or the other dog born with out knee-caps and can't get down from the sofa.

Tonight's winner is an aged pug that has only one eye and she is blind in her remaining eye. My favorite part was this quote: Taz finds her way around by bumping into things and forging ahead with a zest unusual for her age.

here is a picture of the dog. I laughed so hard when I read her description and I told Andrew I would love this dog. What is not to love about a blind one-eyed dog with heart problems?
