Duh-oh!

Preplanning: I need something for dinner tonight that won't take a lot of cooking, and I'm underwhelmed by the thought of canned soup. So I hauled out the slow-cooker, dumped in some frozen meatballs, tomato sauce and seasoning and got that going, then I filled a pot with water, turned a knob, and wondered back to the computer to check my email while the water came to a boil.

The problem being, I turned the wrong knob. I now have a very hot skillet on an unrelated burner. Am I good, or what? But fortunately, I didn't set anything on fire and there's still enough time to get that done before I have to log in. I'm determined to live out of my pantry/freezer for the rest of the month (because otherwise, what's the point of having one?).

Fat and happy

Those meatballs were fandamntastic. I chalk their yummigoodness up to the fact that I threw in a handful of crushed dried rosemary. (Literally---a heaping palmful, at least two tablespoons, rolled between my palm to bruise and activate the flavor. Mmm!)

DVR is set for Torchwood, today is my Friday, and the temp has dropped enough that I don't feel like I'm having one big hot flash....

Mojo, please

On behalf of my last caller of the evening, the nice lady from PA who had upwards of a dozen items of Trendicrap stolen from her laundry, a resounding kharmic boomerang to the schmuck who absconded with them.

Carry on.
