People and plans.
Oct. 20th, 2010 09:26 pmPhilip's friend just called and asked me to walk him through recipes and ingredient lists for making duck in a crockpot. He hunted one last week, and it's been in his freezer (he's a young airman and lives in the dorms). He'll be stopping by tomorrow for me to help him assemble everything, plus use a couple spices and whatnot. It just seemed silly to make him buy poultry seasoning, bouillon cubes, and Worcestershire sauce when he needs such small amounts, and I already have them on hand. I hope it turns out tasty for him!
We made Philip's favorite dish for dinner tonight - Orechiette with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe (though it was made with Farfalle instead). It was the first time in over a year that we've had it, and it was so, so, so good! After all this time searching, we finally found a market that carries just a small amount of the star vegetable. (Even in Nebraska, it was only carried seasonally, and the last time we had it was mid-summer 2009.) We like pairing it with icy cold cherry tomatoes, and it is delish! We are all stuffed, and we shared some with our neighbors, too. It reheats well, so I think they'll love it tomorrow.
Meanwhile, my friend Jennifer just called and asked for my help tomorrow. She sold a bed on Craigslist, and will be delivering it. The buyers live up north about 20 more miles, but her husband is gone, and she doesn't feel comfortable traveling to a stranger's house alone. I don't blame her one bit, and we'll have a nice chat-chat while going. It'll be fun. :-)
Philip and I had tentative plans to see Paranormal Activity 2 with friends at midnight tomorrow night, but it's actually not showing at our theatre then (despite the website stating there is a midnight premiere. We'll probably try to catch the earliest matinee on Friday before he heads to work later in the afternoon. Unfortunately, our friends can't make it then. I think we're still on tap to see Saw 3D with them next week, though.
