Must Resist

[ithildin]

I'm still feeling like making icons. But I have way too much cooking to do today and tomorrow. I take a few weekends a month and cook a bunch of different things, then break them up into two person servings and freeze them. It's the only way I can feed Nin when I don't get off till 5pm and she has to be to work by 6pm.

The menu for this marathon is a pot of Ranch Beans, Bacon Ranch Chicken for tacos, and Tomato Rice Meatballs. Going to start with the beans since they have to cook for quite a few hours.

And Nin and I need to dye each other's hair today too. So the other two dishes may get cooked tomorrow. Or I'll flip the order: hair tomorrow, meatballs today.

Think I can work some writing in? Maybe? Reminds me, I need Nin to set up the router we bought from Tarjay last weekend so the laptop can talk to the internet. No more fighting over the computer on the weekends anymore! [g]

Okay, time to wash pinto beans.

Bacon Ranch Chicken, is it quick and easy? Share the recipe please?

I'd be happy to -- except I don't have one. See, Nin had this new menu item at Chili's two weeks ago and she liked it so much, she asked me if I could try and recreate it. So I'm going to attempt it [g] But after, I can try and pass on sort of a recipe. I tend to cook a lot by tossing things in and seeing what happens.

Okay, Nin posted the recipe, such as it is, to her LJ here: http://ninjababe.livejournal.com/49874.html

Since she was sure I'd forget to do it myself, and because she can actually type :)

Sounds like a busy day. Me I tried to avoid doing taxes for most of the day, so made meatballs and sauce, and attempted to make a Boston Cream Pie (it is a cake actually) totally and completely from scratch. That goes for custard and frosting.

It is refrigerating at the moment. Now to find a guinea pig to try it.

Yeah, I know what Boston Cream Pie is. It's something that's made everywhere -- and one of my favourite desserts. Anything with custard is good in my book.

I'll have to remember that custard is a favorite.

For me, Molten Chocolate Cake is my favorite.

good luck with finding time to write........
