Richard and Stephanie make up their own flavors. Lisa is cooking from somebody else’s playbook.

This is proabably not fair on my part.

1- going on a talk show to defend totally horrible comments you made about the kid that your son put into a coma
2- DOING IT IN CHARACTER (or at least dressed like your character).

I suppose that dude might just always rock a headband and some orange and yellow and that’s how he rolls and if he never was Hulk Hogan and just went on Larry King to talk about the use of the word “brother” that’s how he’d look. Kinda doubt it though. Just seems like a situation that warrents a touch more class if you want to get people to pick up what you’re laying down.

I bet there’s money in inventing silent plastic. ]]> http://bdids.com/?feed=rss2&p=541 http://bdids.com/?p=539 http://bdids.com/?p=539#comments Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:30:41 +0000 B. David http://bdids.com/?p=539 You don’t really care if I have a good day or not*. I very assuredly do not care if you have one either.

Can’t we just say “good bye” and forgo these silly little rituals?

I’m slowly going insane by becoming totally preoccupied by conversational accuracy.

*- except for you, girl too hot to work at Taco Bell, I want you to have a really fantastic day.

That said, at least for now: Dinner!

The dinner is a really basic seared tuna with lemon and balsamic on it. Easy, quicker than almost anything, and very tasty.

2- This is tonight: Pea Soup with Grilled Polenta. The soup was simple, and fantastic. I rendered down some bacon, poured off most of the fat, and cooked down garlic and onion in the remaining hints of bacon grease. Then I added some seasoning, 3 cups of chicken stock, brought that to a boil, and then 2 bags of frozen peas and about half the bacon. Let that cook, hit it with the stick blender, and a little bit of half and half.

The polenta was one of those pre cooked loafs you can buy, with some olive oil and cooked on the less than awesome grill on our range. Turned out pretty good. Mostly ’cause of the olive oil.

Thanks to people named gorie and flux who got me to back up the right shit at the right time.  Everything is back to normal.

Based on what I understand, the likely problem with the site before as the spam blogger plugin, and since I don’t get that many comments anyway, I nuked them.   Send me a pm/email/text/whatever.

So I had turnips, lemon, half an onion and chicken. I chopped up the turnips and boiled them till they were soft, and then tried to turn them into some kind of a mash, but I think they had absorbed too much water, so it ended up a little too runny, so I used Mr. Stick Blender to make it into a puree, which is way higher class and cooler anyway.

The chicken was seasoned with lemon and dill, and I intended to cook them in a foil pouch. Once again I didn’t cook them long enough/used too much foil, so they weren’t done. However, I am a smart boy, and have discovered the perfect usage for the grill on the range in the new place. It doesn’t do a great job of cooking something to completion, but it’s fantastic for finishing/adding flavor/grill marks. So I finished the chicken on the grill.

I also tossed some onions with some flour and fried them in oil. They were really good, although visually I’m not really sure they work on the plate.

I haven’t knowingly had a turnip before, and I assumed the flavor wouldn’t really go with the lemon/dill chicken, but it actually complimented it well.

In all, a winner.

Sausage was cooked in beer and then finished on the grill. Potatoes and onions were cooked with some cajun seasoning in a skillet.
