coraaI am home again!
I got home around noon, went straight upstairs to bed, and slept until five. I think I needed it.
Tonight, I'm making dinner, since one of the things I miss most of all when traveling is cooking. While one of my goals for this year is to cook healthier food (we need to keep an eyeball onjmpava's cholesterol), since it's a celebratory meal, I'm making homemade macaroni and cheese. I'm using this Martha Stewart recipe: Perfect Macaroni and Cheese, but, because I'm me, I had to tinker; I'm using rigatoni instead of macaroni, I added shallots to the roux, and I'm using all cheddar instead of cheddar and gruyere. (We got a lovely five-year aged Wisconsin cheddar in the Cheese of the Month thing, which I'm supplementing with regular extra-sharp Tillamook.) Serving with a side dish made of caramelized onions, stewed tomatoes, and broccoli. With Syrah.
Linkspam later, probably, but I wanted to share this Threadless t-shirt that was recently reprinted: We've Got Some Work To Do Now. Recommended for zombie fans and anyone who thought Velma from Scooby-Doo was awesome. (My mom always said, "You know, the reason Velma always loses her glasses must be that, without handicapping her, she'd solve the mystery before Fred even realized there was a mystery.) I kind of want there to be post-apocalyptic Scooby-Doo fanfic now.

Date: 2010-01-15 01:58 pm (UTC)Also, if you are looking for healthier (but delicious and gourmet) recipes, Cooking Light is a treasure trove. Their recipes are all online at http://www.myrecipes.com -- but you need to specifically limit to that publication because they also have very non-light recipes from publications like Southern Living.
