Yea!!!
Cool weekend!!
I was feeling a bit peckish, so I decided to hit a restaurant in tillamook, next thing I know I have driven 50 miles and I am in Seaside. So, I thought I would have lunch there. I found a Cajun restaurant called
Lil' Bayou. I had the Seafood and sausage Jambalaya. It was nice, could have been a bit more spicy and the rice was wonderful, I think it was a medium grain. And, since I left my book their, I think I will head up their on the morrow and get it (and also order a poboy).
I cooked a chicken in my dutch oven, I rubbed it with kosher salt and added 2 apples, 1 onion and a bunch of pieces of ginger. It had a very subtle sweet and ginger taste!
I had brought home some rock fish, but I waited too long to cook it, 3 days is apparently to long and it had a nasty fishy smell.
I watched the worst movie ever this weekend, its called back from hell. It is worth seeing because it is so bad. I won't give anything away except to say "fat zombie ninja's".
DEEEELICIOUS!!!!!
I sit here wondering, why do we have to die? Just when we reach a certain maturity that allows us to see and sense and touch the world around us. Apologies for sounding so morose, but after cooking a simple tomato, onion, garlic and heavy cream sauce with salt and pepper, i want to experience more!!!
I finally started the Tillamook Cooking Club, i have 3 people interested and have a posting in the hospital newsletter that may atract more people, but i hope not too large since the first meeting will be a potluck in my apartment. Our first meeting will be may 20th.
Work went well today, have to get a part for the ABS2000. I think jerrie in purchasing will be mad at me because i keep complaining that my orders are late and she takes it seriously. She needs to realize that it is more of a problem with Pro-click than anything else.
Love it!! Loooove It!!
This is starting to get easier!!
During the Weekend i made a slow bake beans, with pinto ham hock and chili spices. I added a diced
habanero at the begining of cooking and another diced
habanero in the last hour of cooking. This resulted in a nice taste with a low level heat without being hot! I serve this on
rice.
Tonight i did a smaller version of
Rachael Ray's i think it was from Nova Scotia or some such
apple potatoe hash, i diced 1 apple 1/2 onion and sweated them in olive oil and butter, then i added a diced large russet Potato that i microwaved for 8 minutes to soften it, salt and pepper and oh my!!! Tomorrow i hope to make the simple roma tomato green onion and cream sauce for a paste (she did it with a canadian benedict egg), and also i want to do a simple egg cooked in olive oil with sea salt and pepper (
spanish style).
Work was a little hectic today, had to order everything i needed to do anesthesia PM's. I found a decent
flow meter for $240. And, a tech at another hospital says he has a
volume meter that he was going to throw it away, so i might be able to get it for free ($1000 saving). Now i just need to figure out my test setups.
