WHISKEY BENT & HELL BOUND

Recipe 34 of 2013: Linguine with Roasted Broccoli, Pine Nuts and Goat Cheese

I once heard that pine nuts can fuck with your taste buds so I left them out but otherwise this recipe included three of my favorite things: pasta, broccoli and goat cheese. Win.

Recipe 35 of 2013: Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup

In case you haven’t eaten ramen noodles since college, they’re still awesome. Lili liked this soup so much she bathed herself in it - it’s that good.

Recipe 36 of 2013: Baked Chicken Chimichangas

Decided to pass on making the green sauce since it’s officially pico season in this house (and also because it looked gross). Dare I say these were too creamy? Not bad but could be better with some modifications.

A lesson in buying ink

Step one: Make the super smart decision to wait until rush hour to go to Target. Sit in traffic.

Step two: Find out Target only has one of the two kinds of ink needed.

Step three: Sit in even more traffic to go to Office Depot.

Step four: Realize Office Depot sells dual ink packs and that this whole problem could’ve been avoided.

Step five: Come home only to find out you bought the wrong kind of ink entirely.

Midweek Brain Dump

• Minus a hiccup with the moving truck (Budget can eat a bag of dicks), we made it to NOLA in one piece. Upon our arrival we promptly bought a car and are currently in the process of renting an apartment. Adulting FTW.
• Car #2 is a hand-me-down minivan from my grandparents. It’s about as glamorous as it sounds but it does the trick.
• We’ve cooked approximately two meals at home since we’ve gotten here and I’m afraid the credit card may spontaneously combust as a result. Remedying that with Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch and something, anything homemade for dinner - suggestions welcome.
