No do-overs
Last night's made-at-home supper: dee-lish.So of course tonight I had to try topping it by making - or attempting to make - homecooked chicken quesadillas. They weren't horrible; my mom said they were great. But the truth, I think, is that certain foods are just better purchased at your favorite fresh-Mex eatery and quesadillas are one of them. The salsas have more zip, the cheese is more oooey-gooey and you're just happier because you feel taken care of. Maybe it's just me.
One thing: Food Network's Rachael Ray notes that when cooking at home you have the advantage of controlling your portions. This is true.
I have tomorrow night's dinner-for-work now - leftover buffalo baked chicken and garlic pasta shells - so there's one benefit to my weekend of cook it yourself mania. Unfortunately, I now also have two packs of guacamole. My mom is a fan, but me? Not so much.
For the low, low price of free

Awesome! I love that Spoon song, especially-- thanks!
I also like your new summery colors. V. cute.
Thanks - I like the new colors, too. Your updated blog look inspired me. I'd really like a whole new format but I'm too lazy to do anything more right now. :-)
Isn't the Spoon song incredible? One of my new faves. I'm going to start leaving little gifts for y'all on here so watch for them.
You have to register? Hmm... I never did. I'm convinced the government is after me, so I try not to put my name to anything.
Heh. Rachael Ray is so irritating though. The Garbage Bowl? EVOO? I want to punch her in the face, but maybe I have anger issues.
I didn't register at sendspace but it only allows me to download one item at a time and apparently,if I have one IP being shared by several computers, it would only let me download one item at a time per IP address. I don't mind the one item at a time thing but I have contemplated registering so I can download multiple stuff.
Rachael Ray can be pretty annoying but I have used that "garbage bowl" idea (actually I usually use the bag that held the veggies). I do like some of her ideas and recipes, but she's too cheery for her own good and you only need 1 show on the Food Network not 3. For my money, Alton Brown is the one to watch on Food Network followed by Anthony Bourdain as a close second.
If y'all haven't already heard my highly-annoying and roundly self-centered "I Beat Alton Brown In A Totally Shammed-Up Radio Contest To Win Cheap Trick Tickets Back In 2002" story, remind me to tell you about that sometime. Like I was really going to lose and Alton Brown was going to spend his late December evening partying it up at the ATL Roxy with a few hundred drunken past-their-prime Trick fans.
But, yeah - I won. And he seemed amazed that I knew sports trivia. Until he found out that I, um, work for the AJC. In the Sports department. Because it was oh-so fair that HE got three COOKING questions. If you live here in ATL (Jenna), this may clue you in to why that lame "Moby In The Morning" show died a fast death on the old Z-93 classic rock station before it switched to DaveFM.
No sendspace registration necessary? Well, dang. Don't do that, then. The site acted like it was going to explode if I didn't call it back for a second date or whatever. Aw, heck. That's how easy I am. *sigh*
