ITT I will keep myself going while I spend an extra long day at work.

I am speaking at a seminar on swedish music tonight and it makes more sense for me to stay in SF than commute home and drive back into the damn city.

 

[avi]

there's an email in my inbox from a girl I used to hook up with. she's moving out of the area and wondering if I want to hang out before she bails. she's cool n' all, but I'm tempted to blow her off.

Avi: Reference on swedish music.

That tells you how a geeky obsession can take you...

i'm here 2 more hours

 

[chupe666]

all i can recommend to pass the time is looking at thanksgiving recipes on foodtv.com

 

[chupe666]

or at the house we're planning to buy:

until the papers are totally signed, i'm not calling it ours. it should work out, just nailing the details and funding now. if all works out, we should be in it in a month or so.

thanksgiving is a mess this year for me as usual. there's heath problems with the in-laws and then my family fighting over me for my time. I don't even want to think about cooking quite yet.

I wish I was getting paid for the seminar. I better be getting free snackies and booze at least.

 

[avi]

the wife and I have our eyes out for properties to start our business, but we still need to finalize the business plan and start work on getting loans n shit worked out. busy busy!

 

[avi]

man, I wish *I* had a basement. And a kitchen big enough for an island. someday!

 

[avi]

that kennel is totally depressing, but the rest is totally awesome

 

[chupe666]

yeah, i seriously doubt our dogs will be in that kennel at all. they had 3 huge dogs in it- probably 3 ~70+ lb dogs. i don't know what the concrete blocks are all about.

i can't believe it's got everything we were looking for in it. we were shocked. and land- over an acre, with a creek. the neighborhood is really quiet and nice, in the country. with deer and stuff.

 

[avi]

fuck kennels, that shit sucks.

but the rest: awesomeness

 

[mindspell]

I really like the stuffed turkey...

 

[chupe666]

thanks man. that basement calls for the storage of much wine/homebrew. plans for a bar/pool table have been discussed, but still waiting to call it ours.

 

[chupe666]

i saw jamie oliver on the today show this morning do a turkey with the stuffing between the skin and the turkey, and put an orange that was poked with a knife and some rosemary inside. some garlic/pancetta/rosemary rolled up and stuck in the legs too. totally didn't make sense until he cut the bird and the slices came off the bird with a ring of stuffing around the meat.

maybe you had to see it.

 

[mindspell]

I meant in the living room of the house...

 

[chupe666]

ah. yeah, she's a hunter & those are all her trophies. they're everywhere.

 

[avi]

weirdness.

sometimes I miss cooking with meat because of the way you can marinate and whatever, but then I realize I can do almost all of the same stuff with veggies and all is well.

 

[mindspell]

Dears I understand, Turkey a little less... She could've raised the turkey in the backyard then shot it...

That Jamie Oliver Turkey does sound good though. I seen that method a few times, and I tried it once with chicken and it is actually pretty damn good. I'd like to try a Fried turkey at some point... looks like an interesting experience...
