Dinner Adventure

I haven't done a post in a long time about me cooking so I decided tonight was a good time to do it.

Here is what I made for dinner tonight. Yep I made squid tonight.








Getting into the marinade and then battered.














Look how golden brown and delicious.









The final meal, yep that is calamari on a salad. It was a nice little bag salad I had picked up a while ago and needed to finish off and some tomatoes I decided to add to the salad. Yummy!!

Oh yeah by the way, I had never made calamari before, I love to eat it, but decided to make it myself this time. Now I need to find a recipe that I want to try for octopus and more for squid.

Welcome to the Junoverse

I found this on IMDB and it is funny so enjoy and if you haven't seen the movie yet, then go see it, but this little widget thing has some of the great lines fromt he movie.

And here is an interview ellen Page did with Dave Letterman last week. She is as funny in real life as she is in the movie.

YouTube Friday

This is a great scene from what otherwise I thought was an OK movie. Especially considering the season we just went through, yeah, if you do not spend enough you are apparently crazy according to "the system".



This is a scene froma movie that I really love and yet somehow have never bothered to check out the extras from. h/t to Konagod for showing this scene so that I could then steal it and use it here.



And possibly my favorite scene from this film.

Honey, get the dog out of the shower again

A friend sent me this article about a couple who got in a fight over the fact that he wanted his dog in the bathroom while the two showered together and she didn't. In fact the fight came to blows with him getting punched in the face, getting cut with a picture frame she threw and dislocating his shoulder as the two of them grappled...naked.

This is incredibly funny to me as, I have a dog. I have a dog who follows me everywhere. I have a dog who will follow me into the bathroom on occasion. No, he does not typically follow me in there when I am showering, but he does lay down right outside the door to the bathroom. But...if I am in the shower with someone, I am thinking I can find something better to do than argue if the dog is in the bathroom or not. And why, oh why do you want the dog in the bathroom anyway?

My favorite part is the whole, she says that if you are going to have the dog in the bathroom while we are showering maybe I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore. His response, well maybe my next girlfriend will like my dog better. Um, yeah, both of you need to shut the fuck up, but that is funny.

Baby, it's cold outside

Cause the windchill factor has finally gotten into the 20s here in NC. I know that is nothing compared with my readers in the Northeast or in the Midwest, but for here, it has finally started to feel like winter.

I resolve...

to read more and hence post more book review here.

Ok, now that I have that out of the way, I really don't like New Years resolutions. I normally don't really have one as with most anything, I forget about it after a month or two. It seems to be an extra burden to say on January 1, I will lose weight, exercise more, sleep more, have less stress, etc., etc., etc. We never really follow through with it and we forget about it after a short period of time. So it is a waste, but as I was thinking this morning (in the shower, where I do some of my best thinking) I decided that I should read more. I got a whole bunch of books from the public library's book sale and I should read them. There are probably about 12 or so of them and so one a month is a realistic goal. Really it means I only have to read about ten pages a day, probably, on average for a 300 page book, that sounds reasonable to me. I like to read and so this should be easy for me, so that is what I am going to do. And since I am reading more and so that I have a bit more reason to read, I want to start to post more book reviews. I plan on reviewing every book I read this year.

Oh yeah and a hat tip to DCup as I saw her post on resolutions and so I figured if someone as smart and cool as she can have one than I should too.
