I've been playing major catchup since AWP. But I'm going to talk about food instead. Chris and I had faux-valentine's on Sunday, which involved a fancy brunch at Five Leaves and a really fantastic homemade dinner of filet mignon (rubbed with homegrown rosemary, salt and pepper), with rice and beats, carrots, shallots, and garlic.
For brunch the next day, I cooked up some bacon. Then, leaving some of the bacon grease in the pan, I took the leftover beets/rice concotion and gently fried it with some pinenuts. I added the small pieces of bacon to the beets concoction with some chunks of soft-boiled eggs and you have a culinary masterpiece! Some strawberries and blueberries on the side and so delicious!
Besides my foray into beets, I've also been experimenting with polenta. Chicken sausage is our meat of choice (pre-cooked, easy), so anything that works with it is good for me. We're trying to make dinners that can easily be translated into breakfast or lunch the next day with only a couple changes.
As far as school is concerned, I'm still buried in work. But. I finished my short story for class on Monday, which even if it isn't the best story in the world, at least it was cathartic. So there's that.
