Cool stuff

[badseed1980]

1. Snow!!! Ok, by now it's given way to rain, but it was awesome while it lasted. Yeah, I know everyone who drives hates it when I get all appreciative of snow, but I can't help it. Maybe it's because I'm a January baby.

2. I get out of work at 2pm tomorrow! Dayyyyum!

3. New person on friends list: inannaliban, a fellow Fascist Meanie Poo-Poo Head who's quite cool.

4. Got a nonfat decaf peppermint mocha at Starschmucks. Mmm. Minty chocolatey goodness. Plus, getting this, I avoided the deliciously evil cranberry bliss bar!

5. Making plans for hot tubbing at East Heaven on Saturday! Ah, I really do love the outdoor hot tubs in the cold weather! I just need to check prices.

6. Last night, I cooked this for tonight's potluck meal: kabocha squash stuffed with cornbread, onions, apple, sage, and BACON. The BACON is in all caps because it wasn't just bacon, it was Savenor's thick-cut (really thick) applewood smoked BACON. I cooked the onions and apples in some reserved BACON fat. Yeah, me, cooking in the fat of pig products. Not often, but sometimes you just have to do it. I hope it goes over well. I wish I'd had a chance to make the cornbread in advance and let it go stale for a couple days, so it would have held together better. Still, the stuffing is tasty.

1/9 for me. Same as Jimmy Page and Joan Baez. And, uh, Richard Nixon. I'm a Capricorn. :)

Re: #6 - DAMN, that sounds good. And I don't even like squash!

I adore winter squashes of all kinds. Pumpkin, kabocha, butternut, acorn, hubbard, delicata, golden nugget...mmmmm.

You live in New England, yes? Ye gods, I always miss New Hampshire the most around this time. I was eight when we moved to Georgia. Eww. Chicago can have nice foliage - my campus has some beautiful maples - but the snow isn't great. Mostly 'cause it gets all black and mucks up traffic. Sigh.

Oh, the snow gets black and mucks up traffic in Boston, too. But when it first falls, it's gorgeous!
