Spanish Potato Omelet

Upon the recommendation of a good friend, I attempted to make this Spanish potato omelet. It consists of nothing but potatoes, eggs and onions and is supposed to resemble a pie. It wasn't bad, but I don't think the recipe I used was very authentic. What do you think? Oh yeah and it took FOREVER to make - like 3 hours total.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Pancake

I know this is unbelievable, but maybe I DO have some special talent!

Fun for me

I think that our blog needs a little bit more of me on it. Specifically, some more of the nerdiness that I could provide. So, here we go: these are not my hands, these are Tyler W's. And what he is doing with them is playing Space Invaders. But my computer is not involved even if it looks like it. I've simulated the original arcade game in the big circuit board that you can see in the bottom left corner. It's called an FPGA and basically its a big board that can be programmed to do whatever you like, or whatever I like maybe.

I think that if I keep posting here I can offset whatever straight up cutesy stuff that Molly can post. So this may be interesting as to which of us takes over this site.

You just don't know how excited we are about this Thursday night! 9pm on NBC. Will you be there? Absolutely I will!

Tyler and I tend to recognize good TV when we see it. The Office has always been our favorite show by far. In case you're interested, other quality TV includes and is generally limited to: My Name is Earl, ER, Scrubs, Good Eats, Feasting on Asphalt, Dirty Jobs, Myth Busters, Family Guy, The Simpsons... that's pretty much it. Maybe Chuck will be good too - we're attempting to find out right now!

P.S. - I'm really not THAT crazed about TV. If you'd just watch some episodes of The Office, you'd understand.

Luscious Four-Layer Pumpkin Cake

I have to wait over a month to eat this cake! It's being made for my birthday on October 29 and that's SOOOO far away! I'm seriously considering making it myself... maybe.... tomorrow! No one would have to know! 5760. That's how many calories are in the entire cake. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Torturous!

Inaugural blog!

I wonder if a blog has to have a flow to it. It's hard to write something not knowing precisely who my audience is. Hmm. Let's see what happens. I'm trying to use up food in our pantry instead of going out to buy more food. Sounds like an easy thing to do, doesn't it? Not so much. Everything in there requires something else and can only be made if that something else is in stock. If I wasn't afraid of wasting food and money, I'd be concocting some interesting foods. 16 bean soup is pretty interesting. The beans were well over a year old (I had them back on Leisure Creek before Tyler and I got married!) and they were begging to be cooked. So, beans and cornbread for dinner.

Today has been a strange day. Things have been happening that most other people would let ruin their day. I got up early this morning to meet a nice man who planned to buy my car today. We walked casually to the car and that's when I spotted it - the driver's side mirror had been bashed in! We think it happened when some people that live in our building and their friends decided to get inebriated this weekend. That's $200 out of my pocket and I'm not happy about it! The "For Sale" signs were still in the windows so the culprit could easily have contacted me... but no. More than that though, the man that wanted to buy the car had someone drive him to Lexington from an hour away. I feel like I wasted their time even though the circumstances are beyond my control. At least they were both very nice about it. Give me a week and the car should be in better condition than it was before - we're ordering the new mirror AND a piece of trim that was MIA.

I talked to the landlord today and he's very interested to know who is littering up our parking lot and being disruptive (the people who messed up my car). I think he found out and MAYBE I'll see some money out of this! Not likely though.

Enough for now. Time to go to diversity class!
