I was craving Chinese-ish food the other day... actually, I was craving vegetables, which I haven't been eating much of lately. I hit the grocery store with only a vague idea of a stir-fry in mind... then I found yaki soba noodles, and thought that would hit the spot. So, I ended up getting a bunch of veggies, and some beef for the stir-fry, but then started thinking about an appetizer. I wanted something meat based, and I certainly didn't have time to make egg rolls or wontons from scratch, so I settled on chicken wings.
I was at home the other day, simultaneously hanging Christmas lights, doing homework, and feeding the dogs (I do not know why anyone might suggest that I have ADD) when I passed by the TV, on which an episode of Emeril was showing. After wowing over how fat he is now, I stopped to see what he was making... he was making crepes.
This was my Thanksgiving Day menu, which I hosted at my house. I use the term "hosted" very loosely, since the only guests were my three dogs, and one other human.
Yes, I know... I am crazy. Certifiably insane. It's not like work, school, two rescue groups, band, the website business, and gaming doesn't keep me busy enough... but I have to have a project to obsess over. God forbid I have a free minute.
I am going to make a Civil-War era gown, complete with underpinnings. The awesome news is that they make PATTERNS for this!! Can you believe it??? No more draping, making my own patterns, and doing it the hard way!
