Checking in while I can
Jul. 25th, 2006 09:38 pmWell, here I am, checking in for a minute while the phone line is free. Besides being a busy bee, it isn't often I can get access to the single phone line to get online. But it's free for a minute so I'll grab my chance!
I don't have much to report that doesn't have to do with cooking. We got here on Friday afternoon, and I've been going ever since. My week in a nutshell is as follows: the cooking is going well, I am not getting enough rest, my feet are hanging in there, and it is hot and humid.
I made my Pakistani Chicken Biriyani today, and it was very well received. I also had good reviews on my lasagna -- I hope I can remember how I made it, so I can try to repeat it! One of my problems is, I tend not to follow a recipe exactly, I just look at the suggested ingredients, and then improvise, going by how it looks or what is available and fitting to put in a dish! Makes it tricky when people ask for the recipe...
Tomorrow DH and I are heading into New York City to see some sights in Manhattan. We plan to visit two museums and maybe Ground Zero, and eat in a fancy restaurant. Maybe we'll just have a pretzel and hotdogs in Central Park and eat dessert in a fancy restaurant...
We lived in NYC for a short time back in 1985, so it will be interesting to go back again and ride the subway and such. I'll try to take lots of pictures and do a report at some point! Not sure when I'll get back online, but hopefully soon -- I miss you all tons!
