thebratqueenHad a busy weekend. Friday went in to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stakebait and spend hours talking about politics, fannish stuff, and occasionally both. As for example:
Saturday I had work, then for dinner I made a chicken bracciole which was pretty good but I'm loath to post the recipe until I work the kinks out of it. It's the one in the latest Italian Cooking & Living, for what it's worth. It's very tasty but they do things like have you wrap them up in plastic wrap and shove it in the fridge for 2 hours before frying it in a pan. Which is nice and all but two hours really isn't enough time to solidify the bracciole so that it doesn't unroll. So next time I'm going to try skipping that step and just tying them up with kitchen string, which is what I do when I'm making my grandmother's braccioles and it works out fine. (Either that or next time I'll just put them straight in the oven, b/c I wasn't really seeing how the Maillard Reaction was doing that much flavor-wise. In beef yeah, but chicken? Wasn't seeing enough of a difference.)
Today I've got errands to run, then dinner with the folks, and then QAF later tonight on Showtime (justhuman? You watching?) I mention all this to point out the lack of downtime in the schedule as apparently I've been causing people to go to sleep late. *cough* So, uh, no promises on that by the end of tonight. I'll try if I can, but no promises.
Oh! And bill paying. Gotta pay my bills. I should probably do that before I go out shopping but... meh. That's all logical and stuff.
Anyway, catch you later!

TBQ: Yeah. It's like he cast the Superstar spell on himself and everybody else is going on about how much he rocked in The Matrix and we're sitting here scratching our heads and saying "Um.. I'm pretty sure he's not actually the Slayer."
