So it’s Tuesday, and so far this week, I’ve made lunch, dinner, a brunch snack (from last night’s leftovers), and lunch again. Dinner tonight is up in the air, but I suspect we’ll just scrounge from the kitchen, and then tomorrow, we’ve got steaks that we just need to defrost. Not a bad start to the week, no doubt, and hopefully, I’ll get some exercise tonight. Fun fun.
Ei-Nyung made some chocolate-dipped strawberries last night that were *unbelievable*. The strawberries weren’t super-perfect, the chocolate could probably have been a little darker, but overall, they were just stunning. There were at least two instances where they were just astonishingly perfect, and I felt like my mouth just exploded with awesome flavor. Great stuff. Simple, too. I’m tempted to go by the grocery store tonight and get some more. 😛
Oh, also, there was an orange/strawberry/raspberry/peach smoothie to be had Sunday evening, which was mighty tasty.
I figured I’d make either oden soup or pan-cooked oden to go with rice & green beans for dinner tonight. I think I’m in the mood for pan cooked. There is enough that I can leave some for a soup for a later time. Yay.
We can totally get more strawberries tonight. And maybe pick up some deadly, dark chocolate.
Was it like there was a party in your mouth, and everyone was invited? Because I didn’t get an invitation.

I’ve been doing some cookin, the latest being homemade chicken noodle soup. I could of cooked the veggies a bit longer, because they were still a tad crunchy. I think the problem was the stock wasn’t hot enough when they went in.
I’ve got all the ingredients ready for Alton Brown’s pan fried chicken, though I’m still debating about getting pre-sliced chicken or getting a whole one and cutting it myself. I’m skeered! 😮

re: pan fried chicken – I did that recipe with eight chicken thighs, and it turned out really well. Since thighs are my favorite bits anyway, it was great.
