... I think that gift may be as much for him as for you, Steph.
I asked for an apron, though not a particular pattern.
Or possibly I just have an apron fetish.
And, well, yeah, I asked for it in no small part b/c of fetish-y reasons, which are indeed as much for him as for me.
Tep, you indeed have the boyfriend of AWESOME!
But I did tell him to not expect me to, you know, *cook* or anything.
That's just crazy.
Nice apron! TCG gave me one for Christmas that is of a similar style, only red with black polka dots.
Also, here is our dog, apparently laughing: [link]
That's just begging to be turned into a loldog.
I just made lentil stew with Turkish mystery spice. My mom went to Turkey and brought me back a box with a bunch of little containers of spices. On one of the containers, the only English words were "mix spice." I tried googling some of the Turkish words and found out that it's "meatball spice." But every site had a different list of what spices are usually in meatball spice. Based on smell, I guessed that this had cumin, red pepper, cloves, and a bunch of other things that I couldn't pick out.
So, I tried cooking it with some lentils, onions, garlic, carrots, and parsnips. Was pretty good. Then I added a pinch of dried mint, and it was yum. I still don't know anything more that's in it, though I think there's a bit of cinnamon.
That sounds yum, Hil!
I'm bored. There is no hospitality suite in my apartment and no buffistas.
