I’ve been on a highlander kick recently. If you aren’t familiar with highlander, it’s a show/movie/story about immortals who live forever unless their heads are cut off. When an immortal cuts of the head of another immortal, he or she gains their power and knowledge. Eventually, only one immortal will be left.

We are such bums. When I got home from work last night, the boyfriend was lying on the couch, in front of the fan.

The recipe came out perfectly, and it tasted exactly as I remembered, which is to say, it tasted not good. We sat biting it in silence until we both unanimously decided that it was dreadful. keep reading »

We decided to eat light last night, and opted for pasta salad and crudites. It was a pretty decent meal, and very easy. Then I finished the wine and we watched a few episodes of The Wire. Such a great show. We’re into season three, and we love it so far.
