I Had a Date Today With the Strong Silent Type

Lillian Beauregarde on 01 9, 2010

Today’s inclement weather made it so I was stuck in my house. After long years of living in the Midwest it does make me laugh a great deal that so little snow will cripple such a large city. I understand why, I’m not a moron. The city of Toledo, Ohio has more salt trucks and snow equipment than the entire state of Georgia. I can happily say that I did a whole lot of nothing today. Sure I could have gotten a whole bunch of work done on my blog. I could have written entries for days… but I had some very important couch laying to do. I had some marathons of television to watch. It’s very important people… vedging. I had to vedge.

I Love You Alton Brown!

If there’s one network I can lose days in it’s the Food Network. That channel knows how to work my shit. Yeah. I can cook like that. One day I will cook like that. Oh yeah, I can spin sugar and create sculptures out of nothing but chocolate. Totally. Jealous? I thought you might be.

Then again maybe not. I will say that I’ve gotten more ideas for quick fake meals from sitting on my ass obsessively watching episode after episode of Good Eats. That show feeds not only my love for cooking shows but my insane adoration of trivia. So many scientific facts at my fingertips… *makes with the grabby hands* It’s one of those times where a man’s looks have nothing to do with how much I love him. Alton Brown cracks me up and makes me totally want to know all about the Maillard reaction and why it happens. (It’s the thing that happens when you toast bread, by the way) I want to know about simple and complex sugars and all of that nonsense. I can’t even believe that things like deglazing pans, and all of that business are actually in my day to day vocabulary.

King Louis Pasteur!!
