Two posts in one day. That's some kind of a record or something!

Darrell came over today and fixed my kiln. Though it's funny because the button that you push  in for the kiln to run would NOT stay in when I tried it, but the Marv came over and I pushed it to show him that it wouldn't stay in and...you guessed it...it stayed in. I'll have to let Darrell know.

 Anyway, I read a bit of Les Miserables, and then watched The Office (season 2), and took a little nap.

Then I got up and made some spinach artichoke dip (which, if truth be told, is really a multi cheese dip with spinach and artichoke added for texture and to rationalize putting all that cheese in one place.)

 Then I went to the grocery store for dog food, bread, chips (to convey the dip to our waiting mouths), and some diet cherry 7-Up and diet cranberry Mist. I had been thinking to myself that those two beverages seem to be about the same thing, so I laughed a little when I pulled them out of the fridge later and Marv commented, "Aren't those pretty much the same thing?"

 I heated up the seafood linguini from Sunday and the chicken wings from Tuesday and served with the fresh dip and chips.

We did our version of Chopped: commenting on the presentation, taste and creativity.  I noted that I wasn't really sure that I did a good job of marrying the components, as the chicken wings didn't seem to tie in with the other foods. Although the linguini and the dip were good together and the wings and the dip were good together. But I gave one of my wings to the dog and wondered aloud if the Chopped judges did the same thing with things that they don't like. After dinner we watched Babe (the pig.) I haven't seen that since my brain surgery forced me to watch the same two movies over and over and over in 1996. Babe and I think it was the Little Princess. Can't remember. Anyway, I watched it about 9 times back then, and haven't seen it since. Marv loved it. Then we went to McDonalds for a French Vanilla Latte (what did I do with that...must be downstairs. Damn. I'm all warm under my electric blanket.) and then brought Marv home and now I'm in bed. It's 11:00 pm, so I'd better just get my FVL and do my Sudoku and hit the hay.
