2005-02-22, 07:42 PM — report: grilled chicken ceasar

Report on my attempt to create a grilled chicken ceasar salad:

Real bacon for bacon bits: two thumbs up

Grilling chicken with Diana sauce in George Foreman Grill: half a thumb up (issues with overcooking)

Red onions included: no thumbs up (surplus issue)

Red peppers included: two thumbs up

Kraft Creamy Ceasar dressing: two thumbs up (mostly because it was better than I expected it to be)

Kitchen mess to clean up now: two thumbs waaaaay down

Experiment: a qualified success.

Note to self: try not to spray bacon grease ALL over the stove next time bacon is frying.

Ugh. I just ate, like, half a sticky toffee pudding for breakfast. I would like to congratulate President's Choice on their excellent sticky toffee pudding, but I would like to add a warning: do not eat the sticky toffee pudding for breakfast. Especially if there is lots of it.

I really don't know what else is appropriate to write here, other than "groan" and "blahg," basically the only noises I feel like making.

Ugh, so I've got my first cold of the season. Full-blown, nose running, coughing, aching, sweaty cold. It's got to be the same one that's been running around for weeks, I'm sure... so I guess I was destined to get it sooner or later.

The problem being, of course, that I have to go into work today for the first time in ages, and I'd promised lunch to my boss and I need to get some stuff cleaned out of the office in preparation for me not being there this summer. None of this is going to be fun with this cold.

And it turns out I am very grumpy, so I should probably stop writing before I get grumpier. Or sneeze on fishy's computer.
