The Red Wings just beat the Canadiens, 4-3.
The History Channel has a mini series about George Washington starting in a half hour. I’m going to check it out. Hope it’s good.
I had a real craving for cookies and beer, so I had a Shipt shopper make it happen.
My brother is over. He seemed to really like the stuffed chicken breast. We’re having beer and cookies now.
I didn’t see any games on tonight, so that was disappointing.
I cooked the stuffed chicken breast again. This time I did a better job cutting in the pocket and stuffing it. It was my last piece of chicken and smaller. Within the next few days, my brother is going to pick up my next order from the Brower Farms and bring it to me, and I’m going to try this recipe on him.
Red Wings at 7.
I had a dream that I was looking over the house I currently own and have lived in for eight years. I was trying to figure out how I might be able to fix the sloping floor in the kitchen. It’s not bad, but I would like to get it leveled out at some point.
In the dream, I was down in the basement studying the boards that hold the floor up. I went back upstairs and I wasn’t in my current house anymore. I was in the house I lived in before this one.
It was a little house with a huge lawn, on South Elba Road. I was with a woman who I really loved when I moved in there, so I would say some of my best memories happened there. But I lived there for eight and a half years and that was too long. After about two years there, I was really disliking the place.
The biggest problem for me was the house was too small. It felt cramped. The ceiling was only about a foot above my head and I had no trouble reaching it. The Livingroom was small, the bedroom was small. I often felt like I was being crushed.
Other problems were the furnace, water pump, water softener and water heater would sometimes breakdown or blow the circuit breaker.
I guess the kitchen was a little bigger than my current kitchen, but not much. The bathroom was much bigger than my current bathroom. All I really miss about that house was the long kitchen counter and the long bathroom counter. I like having counter space. Also, the kitchen had more cabinets than my current kitchen does.
And it was nice having a back sliding door, even though it often went off its tracks.
The house I live in now, that I bought from my landlords last year, it is so much nicer and roomier than the previous house. When I moved in here, I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I’m very happy here. It’s not cramped at all and I cannot reach the ceiling unless I’m standing on something.
About six months after I moved out of the house on Elba Road, there was an electrical fire that destroyed the place and it was soon torn down.
My cousin Tony gave me a stuffed chicken recipe. Today I gave it a try. I don’t think I did everything exactly right, but I think it was close enough.
For one thing, I got the wrong kind of Mozzarella cheese. It was supposed to be sliced cheese and I got shredded. But I think the only reason it was supposed to be sliced was so you could roll the asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes in it, and then stuff that into the chicken. Makes it easier, I guess. So I just stuffed in the cheese, asparagus and tomatoes unrolled.
I messed up the pockets when I cut them in and I think I overstuffed them with the cheese, asparagus and tomatoes. But it still worked. While cooking, a very pleasant smell filled the kitchen.
I just ate the best meal I ever cooked for myself. It was two good-sized stuffed chicken breasts. I feel fat right now. I’m definitely cooking this again, and I’ll probably do better next time.
The Pistons and Hornets are having a close game.
I was working on something deep and meaningful to post, but that’s taking a toll on me and I won’t have it done today.
So, I decided to get blogity about my latest discovery. XFL. I knew there were other professional football leagues, but I don’t think I’ve seen any of the alternatives to NFL on TV before.
After seeing a game today, what can I tell you about XFL? Beside the fact that the team names sound like motorcycle clubs to me instead of football teams, the league is made up of good players.
This is just a guess. Some NFL players might be playing for XFL, since the NFL finished up last week. But what do I know? I’m brand new to XFL. I could look into it, but I don’t feel like it right now.
XFL seems to be popular enough. Shots around the stadium revealed that the lower level seating areas were full. The upper levels, not so much. But even in the NFL, stadiums aren’t always full.
I’m not positive, but I think the rules are a little different in XFL. I saw some weird things. Once the players formed two straight lines that stretched across the field, but not like they would in kickoff/recieving teams. The lines were too close togther.
I was too busy trying to figure out what was going on and I didn’t really see how the play went. I think it was a snap and rush that quickly ended with a tackle and no gain. I just, never saw anything like that before.
Another thing. It seems that, after a touchdown, instead of kicking for one additional point, in XFL they rush for the additional point. I know that in NFL, after a touchdown, sometimes they will rush instead of kick. But that counts for two points and they usually only do that when they need two points instead of one.
Is this because XFL doesn’t have enough qualified kickers? It did seem that the fieldgoal kickers missed a lot.
Well, I guess XFL is something I can turn to if I’m really in the mood to watch football when NFL and NCAA are done. It’s entertaining enough.
Pork chops for supper.
The Sunday after the Super Bowl, I wake up looking forward to a football game and….
Baseball season won’t get here fast enough.
I’m going to cook boneless chicken breast today. I usually just broil it, but I’ve been wanting to try frying it, so that the outside is crispy. Like how Kentucky Fried Chicken looks.
Thing is, I don’t really have everything I need and I’m not sure of everything I will need. I plan to put in an order on Shipt.com for the materials that I’ll need. I could Google fried chicken recipes, but I thought it’d be more fun to try the recipes from people I interact with..
If there are multiple recipes, I’ll try them all, one after another. I regularly put in orders for meat from the Brower Farms and chicken is always included in the order.
