[fizzgig]

i think we've finally broken through the black hole that's engulfed the house since last week, so i'll probably actually cook tonight. what? don't know yet, but likely pasta or rice with veggies.

happy almost weekend

1. Kayaking for groceries!

We are in a very remote spot and cupboards were pretty bare.

Plus I was out of cigarettes.

So we kayaked in this morning and found a small market.

I was able to get tortillas, yogurt, ham, a can of tuna, carrots, tomatoes, a pear, an apple and those so very essential little limes for margaritas.

So lots of options and DH loves him some tuna-noodle casserole with peas and carrots!

2. kayaking for smokes is something i would do

3. Sad, isn't it.

I would have made it through on beans and rice, but I had to have the cigs.

4. husband bought some e-cigs yesterday

so once the last couple packs are gone, that's it, at least hypothetically. we'll see how this goes.

7. Funny story.

Someone gave me some e-cigs. I liked them all right, though they never really did the trick.

One night, after a glass of two of wine, I tried to light one.

Very bad idea, lol!

I never did replace it.

[fizzgig]

8. ha!

i've lit more than a few cigs backwards, usually after a few drinks. i'll try to not light the e-cig

[cbayer]

9. Yep, sucking on a burning filter is bad, but

sucking on a burning, solid piece of plastic with some electrical wires in it is potentially deadly.

5. A garbanzo chorizo dish from a Mediteranean (sp?) cookbook

It's a Spanish dish that I'm modifying somewhat.

[fizzgig]

6. yum

i love garbanzo beans.

10. Corned beef and cabbage

Sorry, can't wait until St. Paddy's!

With the usual carrots and potatoes, and maybe a turnip just for fun.

(The leftovers are gonna be yummy!)

12. We had

our corned beef last weekend and have left overs in the freezer to enjoy another day.

We added turnips, rutabaga and parsnips along with the carrots, onions, potatoes and cabbage. Loved it.

11. Italian sausage and campanelle pasta in a tomato cream sauce.

Salad.

13. Cubed steak w/ mushrooms in gravy and mashed potatoes and caesar salad.

Pretty good.

14. beef stew

The RG made it. Has tomato base and all the usual vegetables, such as parsnip, potato, garlic, carrots, turnips...lots of herbs, such as thyme, parsley, etc.; ummm, so good.

He also made lasagna, which we had for the first course.

For dessert, pound cake and on top he put Talienti caramel apple ice cream.

Not exactly light fare, but it's in the 20s here!
