Lunch

Well, I'm trying to make something called "Cowboy Spaghetti" but I'm substituting about 60% of the ingrediants so we'll see how it comes out. The recipe calls for:

• spaghetti
  
• Buffalo
  
• garlic
  
• onion
  
• salt & pepper
  
• parmesean cheese
  
• Cream of corn
  
• tomato sauce
  
• mushrooms
  
• green and red pepper
  

I'm using:

• bucatini
  
• Buffalo
  
• garlic
  
• onion
  
• parmesean cheese
  
• salt & pepper
  
• arribiatta sauce
  
• chili sauce
  
• cayenne pepper
  
• oregano, basil, thyme
  
• asparagus
  
• cream of brocolli
  

I'm not holding my breath.

Melissa is sleeping after being out at Pure til 5am and puking 4 times in the process. Jack's at work and is pressuring me to convert my 4-cursor stored procedure to a temp variable one. It's definitely a better way to do it, but I don't have the time for that stuff. Mom kicked my ass at the puzzle today. Tied her on Tuesday though, not bad!

Christmas, Christmas time is here...

Well, we put up a Christmas tree today. Never done that before. I was into it at first, then got very not into it when Melissa ended up spending $150 on it and assorted decorations. It's her $, but it seemed like such a waste, plus she owes me a shitload of cash that I haven't seen... So by the time we got home, I was raving pissed, and totally grinched out. But after a heated debate over the virtues of X-Mas versus the those of frugality, I decided to give in to the season and we have fun decorating the tree while listening to X-Mas music on the radio.

Click here for our season's greetings!

I admit, it made me pretty happy once we got going, and reminded me of being at Viv & Dave's, which I'm going to miss this year.

Dinner

Cooked dinner tonight. Asparagus & crab soup, miso lemon pepper filet mignon, a veggie medley, and banana bundt cake. Melissa had to run to work in the middle of it, but the shit came out good given that I rushed it to hell. Well, except for the cake, further proving the theory that men should not bake. I followed the instructions Danielle gave me, and the instructions on the back of the box, but it still got fucked. Random weirdness: I spend an hour looking for a bundt cake pan today. I finally find one over at Smiths on Sahara and Durango. I'm driving out of the parking lot when I notice that the store across the street is "Nothin' But Bundt Cakes". C'mon man... how many friggin bundt cake stores are there in the world, and I run into one just as I'm lookin to make the first bundt cake, in fact, cake, of my life? That's just weird.

In other news, thanks to Picc, I finally have cpcdefender's logger/shield working. It's not 100% yet, still needs fine tuning, but it seems to do the job. Word.
