  • Today I went to the dentist. Almost 6 hours later and I can still feel the Novocain. In order to pass the time, I’ve decided to cook. Tonight’s dish was orange chicken picatta, mashed potatoes (from scratch), and Pillsbury Grands. Simple, tasty, and not too harsh on the teeth. Orange chicken picatta was what I cooked when I visited Heather last year, long before she decided that she wanted to eat grass for the rest of her life.

    The problem that I always have is that there’s sooooo much food. I mean, I can eat half of what I make the first night, but the rest is going to have to wait until lunch on another day

  • Hi, Thanks I think I just gain 5 lbs. Wow, those poor potatoes did not see it coming to them. Looks like an excellent workout. Funny I do the same if I go out to eat I always get a to go box for the next day. That is if I remember to eat–yea I do that sometimes. Oh, I am not referring to grass here, but you need something green. Asparagus is beyond yummy when sauté in some olive oil. Oh by the way, I plan to start a class Wednesday. This is Tai.Chi. I hope this goes well. Take care — looks like you are, Sharon

  • This post reminds me of many times where I have cooked an awesome meal just to enjoy it myself…

    *sigh*  If only the microwave could make it taste realistic, leftovers wouldn’t be so bad.

  • Humm, now that you mention it I am a bit hungry…. Think I’ll go out tonight…LOL

  • Hello. =]

    I always read your blogs because I find them rather interesting. I like the fact that you can cook a lot of different dishes besides the generic rice and chicken, haha. Amyway, just dropping by. Peace.
