Domo says, "Hello." He's sitting on my bedspread. Wait. What is a bedspread? Hold on. Merriam-Webster says it's "a usually ornamented cloth cover for a bed". Hm. Okay, Domo is sitting on one of my blankets. Isn't he festive? I was going to post a picture of my new pink TOMS , but I didn't want to break the tradition of one picture a day.
Yesterday I claimed I was going to roast Thomas Keller's chicken and make snickerdoodles. Since I only accomplished 50% of the tasks, I get an F for the day. I'm one of those people that insists on grass fed beef, free-range chicken and organic this and organic that. Roll your eyes as you will, but cancer is highly prevalent in my family so I try to keep whatever weird chemicals out of my body that I can. (Ignore the fact that I had M&Ms yesterday.) I've also never roasted a chicken before. This post really is shocking, isn't it? I'm very scared of ripping the wishbone out of the chicken carcass as Mr. Keller suggest for ease in serving because I've never handled a chicken carcass. I'm scared to truss the chicken because the camera on all the YouTube videos I watch keep pulling away when he loops it around the neck bone. I don't have kitchen twine/butcher's twine. There is no Whole Foods near me where I can easily get a 2-3 pound free-range organic chicken. The butcher would also probably do the wishbone/trussing/removal of inside cavity stuff for me too. I'm a roasting chicken weenie. I admit. So I need my hand to be held the first time. I also had no car today (that is why I didn't go to the gym, clearly).
Those are all my reasons for getting an F today. I did make the snickerdoodles, though! They turned out pretty good. I used to be in love with snickerdoodles as a kid. Now, I'm surprised how I ate anything so sweet. I did roll them around in sugar pretty well, though, so that might be my fault. I purchased a one pound package of light pink sanding sugar at Surfas last week and wanted more opportunities to use it, so I thought I'd be clever and use it to coat the outside of my snickerdoodles. Well, cinnamon is dark and light pink is really light. In the end, you pretty much can't tell. ):
I ran out of milk. Eating snickerdoodles without milk is very sad. While I was making cookies, Law & Order: SVU was on. Mark Valley from Human Target was on it! I've never seen that show but for some reason I recognize him. The episode was reaching it's climax and my dad decided to switch it to Cantonese television, then promptly fell asleep and snored. Now I have no idea what happened to Tommy's dad. The show was actually pretty good, though, so maybe I'll start watching it on Netflix. o_O
