go here for more of my favorite comics. it's kinda like porn, only with way, way more humor involved.
there is so much win to this comic, i can't even describe it. just go to the website and hit "start" on the right-hand toolbar, and thank me later after you read the whole thing from the beginning.
anyhow, on to the kitchens part.
i am probably the stupidest person ever when it comes to cooking things, because i think things like, "hmm, four eggs? only have two... i'll just do that. it'll be fine!!"
yeah.
and i have (probably) well-intentioned people telling me to give up and leave well enough alone/use a new recipe/stop cooking for fucks sake, but i get this little toddler-like perverse sense of "No, i'm gonna do it MYSELF!!" when it comes to things i really want to conquer.
like brownies.
behold my most recent attempt at the brownie:
i know, pathetic. not because of its looks, but because of its strange texture - fudgy, yet gritty. i can only imagine (other than the eggs part) it's because i combined the ingredients in the incorrect order, because i did, presuming that it wouldn't make a difference.
bah.
i WILL conquer the brownies, if it takes me an army. and another hard-core mixer.
in other news, it's Happy Irish Day (me being a degenerate Heathen i don't exactly support saints, but Hey Let's Get Drunk and Yay Irish!!! is fine by me), and to this end i made potato soup last night.
the kicker is that i made it from ingredients that were thrown to me during a St. Paddy's Parade. yes, the south does it like that. behold!!
(by the way, these carrots are UTTERLY enormous. monster sized carrots. i ended up only using 2 of them in the soup, and that was plenty. by the way, anyone know what else to do with a whole damn drawer full of carrots???)
yum. i also put mushrooms in my soup. and cheese. and NOW, i'm gonna go eat some of it.
now go drink a beer! it's traditional. better yet, drink SEVERAL BEERS!!
