I should probably work on my food photography a little bit. There’s no better way to bare the snow than to share a meal with friends. Veronica and I decided to make some stir fry tonight with chicken, vegetables, and udon noodles.
I’ve always been a little bit skittish when cooking meat so I usually let her handle that. We used both oregano and lemon pepper for seasoning and our sauce is typically made with brown sugar, soy sauce, and corn starch.
Ta-da! It kind of looks like brains, but I promise it tastes a lot better than it looks.
Still a little hungers, we decided to whip up some of our favorite “Eggs-in-a-basket.” This does not look visually pleasing, but hey – it’s hard to get it right sometimes. As we were making them (or as Veronica was actually making them,) we started to ask ourselves why we never strayed away from the original recipe. Why didn’t we add different ingredients ever? So this time we did. After making two standard ones for us, our third one included honey drizzled on top of it. The look on Veronica’s face indicated to me that I would not be sampling that one. Next, we used the leftover circles to make our version of “mini french toast.” However, it wasn’t until she had completely made them that we realized our batter of milk and cinnamon was missing one key ingredient – eggs. As you can imagine, that didn’t end well either.
We also worked on a DIY project I found while perusing blogs not too long ago.
Perfectly concealed and organized! As you can see, I don’t tie ribbons very well, but it’s the effort that counts. I couldn’t be more thrilled about my box of tech!
What a wonderful two days off school we have had due to the snow! Whether or not Seattle University decides to open tomorrow does not directly affect me that much, but still the students continue to heckle the school’s Facebook page for yet another day off. I’ve also seen some statuses from students who just want to return to school because this affects their learning.
This is why we can’t have nice things. I’m grateful for the days off, but I also appreciate the Seattle University marketing team for keeping us updated on the news whenever they get any and for having to deal with the unruly responses. They really don’t deserve that – we should all learn to be a little nicer from this. For a laugh, click here.
Are you in need of new music? Phantogram will be releasing their newest LP “Nightlife” on 11.11.11, but if you “like” them on Facebook now, you can stream the entire CD. Trust me – you’re definitely going to want to do that. If the songs sound a little familiar, it’s because Phantogram has been performing some of their singles at their recent shows, but all of the songs featured on this album are completely new from their previous album “Eyelid Movies.” I fell in love with “16 Years” and “Don’t Move” at both Quadstock and Bumbershoot this year so I am counting down the days until I will have this album on my desktop. For now, I’ll just stream it on a daily basis as my soundtrack.
