So I grossly under-described the events of yesterday. Jenn and I went to see In the Cut, as mentioned. It was hot. We then went to Sobey's 10 minutes before they closed and bought the makin's for salsa and guacomole, along with some Tostito's Scoops (some of which were alarmingly non-scoopy) and mini pitas. The salsa turned out pretty well, but it apparently needed cilantro. Had we checked recipes before we bought ingredients, we would have known this, but what fun would that have been? It was very mild, with a ratio of 1/2 a jalapeno pepper to 2 large tomatoes, onion, lime juice, and various green herbs I had on hand. But tasty. The guac wasn't as resounding a success, which was odd because we actually followed a recipe for it, thanks to Jenn who actually knew what went in guacomole. It was very limey and garlicy, and not so much avocado-ey, but again, still pretty good. I'm thinking it would be stellar with the hint o' lime Tostitos, which have more than a hint o' lime, but are darn tasty.
Jenn went home around 10, and I remembered that I had half a chicken in the fridge from last week. What to do? Make soup, of course. I put it, some potatoes and carrots in the crockpot with water and a couple of pouches of trusty yellow oxo, and went to bed. Gotta love the crockpot. I had soup for lunch, but hadn't gone in and taken the chicken off the bones, so it tasted like chicken but didn't have any actual meat. It wil tomorrow though, AND, I'm making cheese biscuits as we ... read. Inspired by my sister's roommate Katie. Adding grated cheese to biscuits makes them exponentially better. I'm a big fan as it is, so this is really good. I'm also a fan of making them with whole wheat flour instead of white.
Anyway, I don't know why, but I felt I should share that with you all. Life outside the kitchen is going pretty well; classes are decent, and I've figured out that we can indeed do photography in my 11/12 class, so I'm pretty excited.
Biscuits beckon.
