Life -
We have been watching and enjoying LEVERAGE on DVD. It stars Timothy Hutton, who has begun looking like Gary Oldman as he ages and is a different con or heist each episode. The cast is excellent, with perfect chemistry. Check it out!
Made McClanahan's Creamy Shepherd's Pie yesterday for lunch and quickly won over a skeptical mother and brother. There's something about the name Shepherd's Pie that puts people off. For lunch today, it was slow roasted Gumbo, which meant I was up at 7am to get it prepped so that it would be ready for lunch. Good stuff. We've decided to try using Okra in other dishes. It may become my secret ingredient. (Not that it would be a secret once someone has looked at a dish, Okra's pretty obvious.) Tonight, my brother's grilling mysterious root vegetables and pork on the grill... Will keep you updated on that.
Back to work tomorrow. Bah. I feel like very little Day Offage has been accomplished this week and the following sets of days off will just get more packed as Christmas approaches.
Writing -
Unfortunately, my new writing room, AKA the closet is quite chilly. Maybe I'll write more when the feeling returns to my fingers.

Creamy shepherd's pie...yeah, I can see why somewhat my be a little suspect on hearing that as the menu. How about prairie pie, cow pie or even lambiekin pie, stiff or creamy? Does that entice anyone? Let's stick to pecan and peach. They have a more attractive appeal to them. Shepherd's pie also makes me think that there might be lamb or mutten in it. Not a big fan of any meat that goes "baaaaah!"
Shepherd's pie is delicious, but I've only ever made it with hamburger. That must be the ND version. I'm a big fan of anything that has the whole meal in one pot.
You're writing in a closet? I'm hoping it's a big closet or you might start suffering from more than chills. A little electric space heater might serve you well.
hahaha I actually thought briefly about calling it Cowell Pie, but... well, that was vetoed by the wife. It's quite good, it has mushrooms, sausage, hamburger, mashed potatoes, garlic, onions, tomatoes, cheese and a few secret ingredients.
The closet's pretty good sized, it's bigger than Lindsay's writing closet, which is truly tiny. I'll have to take some photos today to post on my next blog entry. Our new arrangement...
Kris, send me the recipe...that actually sounds pretty good. I think you got me with sausage. However, if this is one of your dishes with okra, it won't be included in my version.
