when I'm bored at work...

[orangerful]

btw this is the new Feeding Hannibal cookbook! The library purchased it (I swear, I don't think I requested it!)! It is GORGEOUS! Glossy pages, full color photos from the show AND of the food. I want it for my collection even though I am pretty sure I am not a high enough level cook to attempt half of the things in the book. But it is SO SHINY!

I've been trying to get back to normal, though it is hard to do with all the headlines swirling around. But, gotta move forward, right? Can't sit and cry about how it is all unfair (it is) and we have to overthrow the Electoral College (we can't, they have submitted changes to Congress 700 times and it has never been approved). So, instead, I'm just gonna hunker down and prepare to be there for those in need and fight for things I believe in.

I've also been playing A LOT of Stardew Valley because that is a perfect little world where I go out and farm and live with my wife Leah and milk the goats and sometimes fight and/or grow slimes of my own. Farms Sims are oddly calming.

Pumpkin donut time! (I am a sucker for a BOGO Free deal at the grocery store when it concerns baked goods of any king so we now how donuts and bagels).

And I'm just realizing I forgot my cream cheese at work. DAMMIT!

And know I will be making that Liz Lemon face in your icon a LOT over the next 4 years :P

[imagine-peace.livejournal.com]

Haha yeah.

Yay pretty book!
Interesting article. :) It answered exactly the question I had after reading the link text, which was: God, why?

[meathiel]

Haha ... that's a cool photo! Love it!

LOL thanks, I was proud of myself.

What type of recipes are in the book that you don't think you could make?

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Some require really fancy cuts of meat that I don't even know where I would get them (or if I would want to spend that kind of money on a first try) and others look intense, like the cooking the chicken in clay. I'll have to snap a few photos for you. They are all the foods Hannibal cooked on the show and he is no slouch!

[blakmagjick]

I've never watched the show...haha

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

It's a good one, not a show I expected to like but I adore it. Great characters, good stories, and the bonus is delicious food (er, if you ignore the main ingredients LOL)

You and me both.

Pumpkin donuts are delicious.

OMG that cookbook..... want! Just the food on that show looked amazing! I don't know that I could make any of the fancy dishes but... yum!

Moving forward is pretty much all we can do. I'm having some good days and some days when I just feel depressed about the whole situation. But that said I think there's going to be a lot of just getting up and fighting the good fight that's going to be needed in the days to come. *hugs*

Jeebus. With the dominant power in Congress right now, yep, I'm not really gonna hope that Electoral College will be gotten rid of anytime soon.

Wow, so jealous you get to have your hands on new library purchases :) teehee that is a cute picture of you as well :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yes, we LOVE going through the new books! (though I get playfully mocked for going straight for the children/teen stuff, especially Star Wars and My Little Pony)

I hear you there. But this issue with the electoral college is crazy making.

Awesome pic! And that cookbook sounds great.

HUGS

I definitely need to check out this cookbook. :D I may not be able to tackle it, but I bet mom could manage some of the recipes.

We all need to get in this frame of mind.
