The Last Day of '08

Just a typical wednesday for me really. Not so much sleeping in anymore since the days are growing longer. Pretty much only house cleaning, dishes, laundry, the dog occasionally stealing my underwear and stretching them out till she shredded them. Oh well no worries pink's not my favorite color anyways. But the good thing about today was that it felt like there really was something to look forward to in 2009. I'm not exactly sure why but i feel it.

Besides that I cooked dinner. I made stuffed shells as they called it. Italian food obiously. It was actually really good. Well thats cause everything I make is good but thats not the point. At first I had no idea what I was going to make then dug around in the pantry till I found something to my liking, pulled out a bunch of stuff from the fridge and let the chef in me take over. lol. I think my favorite thing about making this was that I got to use my hands to actually stuff them and it felt mushy. Kim helped since she was so bored. It was interesting cause I asked her to shred some mozzerela (how ever you spell it) cheese and she ended up shredding her thumb. ew. I did the rest for her.

Theres never a dull moment in this house. Or better yet my life. So Finally after everything was done I had made two batches, which is great cause we'r big on leftovers. It may not look yummy in the pic but It's basically pasta stuffed with tomatoes, olives, chicken, cheese and fresh herbs. Then tomato sauce on top and more cheese. Then into the oven. One thing about when I cook is that I never put added salt into anything! I am a firm believer in natural flavor. And if you do it right herbs and seasonings will take care of the job. Maybe someday I will cook for you. I like doing all types of ethnic foods. Dont know if I've mentioned this to you yet but I am currently in the process of making my own cookbook. All my own thought up crazy recipies. lol half the time nobody will try them. I must say I can be a very messy cooker too. Kim was making fun of me cause I got stuff all over. Later after dinner I decided to make cookies again. It was hilarious becuase i totally wasn't thinking about what i was doing. Just off in la la land and I just put everything in the same bowl and was going to just mix it. Then I realized what i was doing and tried my best to separate everything and do it the right way. They still turned out great but I was laughed at. Sometimes I wonder where I'm at?
