New DVR came in, and I mostly have it set up. now I see why the girl on the phone last week told me I'd have to call to finish the install - their 'step by step' guide is crap. Several steps aren't included. But guess what? I winged it, and got it working, without having to call in! Go me! The only thing missing is my ABC station, but that might take a cycle through to show up, so will check again tomorrow.

Other than that, it's quiet and I'm thinking of reading old fic of mine to see if I can't jolt my muse into starting on the next bit of 'Fondly'.

BTW, my new salsa recipe? Rocked! If I do say so myself [g]

It was alot of fun watching Holby with [livejournal.com profile] ninjababe and [livejournal.com profile] tequilajen this weekend! Usually I watch it all by my lonesome, so the group viewing experience was cool! And tomorrow, a new ep!

So what's up with you all?

[HUGS] You're a gem :) I did the con planning thing back when I was in my twenties and was cured forever! And I'm very glad to hear you'll have fingernails -- I'd hate to see you wandering Philly with mummy fingers [weg] Though it would go with the theme!

Maybe I'll even get them painted! Mummy tan or nile blue or palm green or henna red!

As long as they're not wrapped in strips of cloth! I think palm green would be lovely! I can ever bring green nail polish!

I actually went clothes shopping this weekend. Sears is having a clearance sale and I spent $130 on blouses, tops, pants, and underwear. Still need new jeans tho, guess I'll have to try JCP this week

Shopping! I got a new dress, and slacks from Boden a few weeks back, and I got a new top from Chico's yesterday. I still need a pair of brown or tan dress slacks though. A vacation is a fine excuse for new clothes [g]

Just be sure you bring walking shoes, you're gonna need a comfortable pair of shoes on Saturday.

Yay for getting the dvr hooked up!

I like to periodically reread things I've written, although my muse steadfastly refuses to cooperate with me in finishing any of those projects.

Same sh*t, different day, I'm afraid.

Are you planning on sharing said salsa recipe? I need a little heat in my life. *grin*

Waiting for the end of the month...

Payday...

And next month Hubby should be back on US soil... until next deployment.

Currently busy backing up my desktop... so I can buckle down and get my home business earning serious cash.

Getting lost in Second Life far too much.

I find it oddly comforting to reread my old fic. No idea why. I guess I'm just strange :)

If I can Nin to type it up :) It was 16 tomatillos, 6 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion, a chili pepper, blackened under the broiler. Then tossed in the blender with the juices from the pan, 1/2 cup cilantro and two tablespoons lime juice, salt to taste.

It was supposed to be a habanero, but I subbed a serrano. I think that was about it.

I'll look at the recipe to double check though.

Glad hubby will be home for a bit. What business are you starting up?

Wow. Thanks! It sounds yummy. How long will that batch last refrigerated? I might need to cut it down since it's just me and the cats and they insist on paté. *grin*

Not sure. I'm probably going to try freezing what's left so it won't go bad before we eat it.

the one I've been doing since Aug of 2005, the inbound infomercial calls, the ones that roomies just had this incredible ability to interrupt

Ah! I thought maybe you were doing something different. Good luck getting going again.

Double checked and I actually remembered it all. Small additions... it calls for 4 cloves, I made it 6 :) Line a rimmed pan with foil, there will be lots of juice. And tomatillos explode! I got hit in the face by very hot liquid. I put on goggles after that. and, of course, it needs to chill after it's made.

Oh, and... you have turn the ingredients after they char on one side. The tomatillos took about ten-twelve minutes a side, the other parts less.
