Cooking

[susandennis]

Yesterday ended up being kitchen day. I hate to cook. I love to eat. It's a constant struggle. Yesterday I made mac and cheese, eggy muffins and quiches.

The mac and cheese was the least successful. Not gooey enough. I ate one serving and still have three more. I think I can help them by adding milk or cream as they reheat. If not, no biggie. I used up the rest of some pasta that had been taking up space, and a bunch of odd ends of cheese. So more room on the shelf and in the fridge.

The eggy muffins were surprisingly excellent. I added a lot of eggs to bisquik with milk and sausage crumbles and cheese. I had one for breakfast. Very nice.

The quiche was pretty good. I mainly wanted to try out my new tart pans with store bought crust. I thought the pans would be too small but they were not. One rolled up pie crust covered the three pans with enough left for a couple of pie crust cookies! One egg, a little cream, cheese and ham all fit in there and was damn tasty. I had one for dinner. There's one in the fridge and I froze the third pie shell to see how it would do.

I washed all my masks yesterday. And now they are all ready to go. But, I'm going nowhere.

Finally, Fitbit is rolling out the rest of the features for my watch. I do like the watch a lot even without half they stuff they promised but it will be nice to get the rest.

I do not set my watch for the treadmill. I just let it figure out what I'm doing on its own. I love the variety. Every morning, I walk 2.0 miles per hour for exactly 25 minutes. Here's how Fitbit sees it.



The football (and soccer) stadium across the street has a new name. It is 20 years old. It was first called Seahawks Stadium. Then it was Qwest field. Then it was Century Link Field and now it is Lumen Field. Whatever.

I think I have a new crochet project/idea. I think I'm going to start on it right after I clean out Biggie's litter box and take a shower.

I love making quiches. What kind did you make?

One egg, a little cream, cheese and ham

I have been craving a ham and asparagus quiche but asparagus is almost $8 a bundle right now.

Quiche sounds tasty.
How many times are they going to change the name? lol

That's the thing about corporate naming rights to stadiums. Sometimes the sponsoring corporation changes its name (or gets bought, or goes out of business); sometimes the contract runs out and they get another sponsor.

And then there's what happened in Houston some years back; they had originally named their new baseball stadium Enron Field (Park? whatever), and then, as you may remember, the name "Enron" became something of a scarlet letter, so they negotiated their way out of the contract and have been Minute Maid Park ever since.

If the Red Sox ever sell the naming rights to Fenway Park (which I think is very unlikely), I might have to consider giving up my season tickets.

ITA. Fenway is such an iconic name they would be stupid to change it. Not that that means anything when money is involved. :/

Maybe your Fitbit thinks you're nipping across the road for a quick game of soccer.

How do you make your pie crust cookies?

When I mow the lawn, my Fitbit always calculates it as Outdoor Bike. I assume it's because I'm moving my legs but my arms are steady on the lawn mower handle? It makes me laugh every time.

Ha. For some reason I just love fooling Fitbit.

My pie crust cookies are pretty complicated. If I'm feeling fancy, I sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar. Or butter. Or I'll pop a chocolate chip on top. And bake. If I want to limit calories, I just bake and eat.

I suppose the possibilities are endless. My grandmother always rolled out the leftover dough, put a few dobs of butter on it and sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar. Then she'd roll it up and slice it like cinnamon rolls. And bake.
