Springtime Chicken March 30, 2011

Last night, we cooked up another one of our Dream Dinners meals.

This one was the ‘Chicago Style Chicken’, and it was amazing. So much flavor, and so easy to make. I joke with other healthy food bloggers that I don’t ‘cook’…instead, I ‘assemble’. But I’m darn good at it. Winking smile

I cracked open a bottle of wine (direct from Costco’s shelves). This was a Riesling and it was fabulous.

Enjoyed along side my Easter Bunnies. I wait all year for them to come out and play!

The rest of the night, we did some more office work. I’m converting my entire music library from ITunes to Windows Media Player. It is such a painstakingly long process. We got a home server, where we can access all of our music anywhere in the world… but it all has to be converted first.

(nerds, we know.)

Tell me, what’s the nerdiest thing you’ve ever done? Tell me I’m not alone.

Mac & Cheese, but not! March 24, 2011

I (really) like Trader Joe’s Sweet Potato Gnocchi. It’s easy and delicious.

If I was by myself, I could easily eat that whole package. But that’s probably not a very good idea. Instead, I took some cues from Amanda and Andy and decided to bulk it up with veggies and split it among two meals. This is why I like to hang around with Smart People.

The gnocci has a butter and sage sauce, but when it’s heated up, the gnocci kind of gets a little mushy and it totally tastes like Mac & Cheese.

Mix it with some ~~crack~~ Frank’s Red Hot and you’ve got yourself a meal. MMmm!

We go through hot sauce like nobody’s business, so we stopped fooling around with those little bottles. Go big or go home.

Now I’m stuffed. And luckily I have a great lunch to look forward to tomorrow. Winning!

Challah = Holla! March 22, 2011

For some reason, whenever anyone says ‘Challah’, I always want to yell “Holla!”

Irving and I had a lunchtime date at Costco today. Oh, the life of the adult, huh? We picked up a lovely loaf of Challah, and I just think it looks so pretty!

This gorgeous bottle of Moscato also ended up in my cart. I don’t know how it happened!

It’s from Israel! My Jewish mother-in-law would be proud. I can’t wait to open this up. A bottle of red wine will stay half full in our house for a couple of weeks. But Moscato, Ice Wine or Chardonnay? 2 days, flat! We’re total wine-o’s. (hahaha, that’s not really true, but I do love really sweet wine!)

I went out on a 3-mile walk after work tonight. I love how clear the sky is after the rain in Los Angeles. On the way out I grabbed a Hunk-O-Challah! I kept chanting that in my head “hunk o’ challah, hunk o’challah”.

I chatted with my sister for the entire three miles. She just finished up another semester of grad school. GO, LAURIE!

Soaked to the Core March 21, 2011

Irving and I had all kinds of Sunday plans. We had a to-do list (of course) of fun stuff and some chores stuff. But all of it got de-railed by the rain. We used to always make fun of Los Angeles residents who cancel their plans when it rains (it’s just rain, guys!) But this weekend, we totally became those people.

We scrapped our plans to attend the LA Travel Expo and spent the day in our office rewiring, rearranging and cleaning up our electronics. We’re such nerds, you have no idea. Irving even vacuumed the inside of my computer. If that’s not the dorkiest thing you’ve ever heard, what is? haha

All that geek stuff worked up an appetite and I enthusiastically tore open these new gems from Trader Joes. Dark Chocolate. Vanilla. Caramels.

Irving exclaimed “it’s like three of your favorite things all together!” Yes, husband, you are correct. They were awesome.

Later, we headed down to the South Bay to go see the LA Galaxy home opener game. They were playing the New England Revolution and it’s sort of become a tradition to see the two teams play!

It was POURING out though, they gave everyone ponchos, but just running from the car to the stadium left me soaked to the core. The poncho was no match for the weather today!

Oh well, we made the most of it, and it actually ended up being a really great game.

Irving listens to the broadcasts and hears all the stats and commentary…

And I spent the entire 90 minutes trying to get a good picture of David Beckham (Priorities!)

In the end, we tied 1-1.

Then it was time to brave the rain again to trek back to the car. My jeans were soaked to the thigh by the time we got there. Gross.

PS… why are my eyes two different sizes there?

Even though we were soaked, my uncle was in town and wanted to go out and do something fun.

We ended up having dinner at BJs Brewery and it was awesome. I had a great soup/salad combo, but I was totally saving room for the main event: The Pazooki!
