The Weekly Widget and Sassoon: the cooking show edition


I just ran into my friend/neighbor/co-worker/partner-in-bad-pun-making Michael at the grocery store.  I surprised him by holding a jar of the finest salsa in front of his head until he looked at it.  Then we had a conversation that went something like this:

Me: "I need Drano and celery"

Michael: "I need water and beer"

Long pause...

Michael: "This is sad... OK bye!"

And then I went home to eat vegetables and hummus and salsa and Triscuits and beer (I bought more than I intended... damn impulse buys) which I am still consuming while listening to the amazing new Books album.  If only Andrea was online to make funnies and coach me through cooking something awesome, maybe I wouldn't be feeling like such a lazy butt right now.

andrea:

and now i'm soooo sleepy
  and its ten

plus, i can't reach the lamp from my bed here, so i'm just here in the dark talking to you and watching weeds
 me: ha!

  and about to cook a bunch of stuff for the week
  like... rice? i guess?

 andrea: squirt some lime juice in there

me: oooh i actually have the end of a lime to use up!

I. Love. Cooking. Seriously, summer kills it or me, because its too damn hot to cook anything. I just got home and was able to cook today, and its SO RELAXING.

We should do cooking lessons! Start eating meat!

Hells no to the meat. Hells yes to the cooking lessons (because you mean like a show, right? Like LL Cool J?)
