You will travel to great places (under the covers)

Making Chinese food tonight for a dinner at work. Beef and broccoli, potstickers, eggrolls, and rice. Oh yeah, and fortune cookies....can't forget those. My goal is to get all of these old people to play the fortune cookie, under the cover game together. I think that would be fun for all.

Last night my best friend and I discovered this cool little place for dinner. It's called Delicatazzo. I think that's how it was spelled. Anyway, it's a sandwich shop but they also have specialty food products and a really nice wine selection. I bought a little bitty jar of white bean and olive dip for eleven bucks. It's a tad pricey, but the food was good and the atmosphere is great. I also bought the most amazing key lime cookies. They were so good we ate all of them last night.

Hell's Kitchen is getting a little old for me. Granted, I'm not going to stop watching, but it is getting a bit tired. I think most of the challenges are rigged and the worst person rarely goes home while the best doesn't always win. And Rock? At first I thought I was going to like him, but now notsomuch. The way he acted last night was ridiculous. I once worked with a guy who would fly off the handle like that. It only makes that person look like a schmuck.

I know I do this for no one else but me, but so what.....

Haricot Vert: French for "green string bean," haricot meaning "bean" and vert translating as "green"

I decided to include this word because my pastry chef friend and I got into a discussion about the proper way to pronounce haricot vert. It was interesting to me that we said it differently. Mind you, we're both southern girls trying to pronounce a French word, so odds are neither of us had it exactly right.
