Those better be some good crackers! Nothing in the house to cook, I need to go grocery shopping, so we got some Taco Bell.

My dinner last night was an absolute catastrophe. I made pad thai and homemade egg rolls. I had everything timed perfectly, the pad thai noodles went in the water just as the oil for the egg rolls was getting to temperature. Somehow, about a quarter cup of water got mixed into the oil I poured into the pot for frying... just as it got to about 300, BOOM. Burning hot oil all over myself and my kitchen. Don't forget the noodles are just finished and need to have something done with them NOW so as to avoid a big mushy ball of rice pasta. So now I'm standing in a puddle of hot oil, dripping from the hands and arms... trying to salvage my pad thai and do something with the mess of burning hot oil. By the time I got myself cleaned up, cooled off, and calmed down, the noodles were a bundle of nothingness and there's no more oil to try frying the egg rolls again. Pad thai was disgusting (never mind the fact I cheated and bought a package sauce, which was just WRONG tasting.) No egg rolls. And I made the egg rolls with the prawns from my freezer, so I can't even refreeze them to have them later... which means if I want to eat them I have to do them tonight. Every now and then, my kitchen turns on me. I hate when that happens. I think we're having hot dogs tonight. Or bologna sandwiches.

Yeah, thanks Lori. I've got some crazy Jedi reflexes in the kitchen. Couldn't tell you the last time I actually hurt myself when cooking. The back of my left hand is tender still, and a bit of the webbing between the fingers on the right hand, but nothing really bad. It could have been a LOT worse. I've been frying at home since I was a child, with my parents. I've never had an accident. Unfortunately, Donners is paranoid in the kitchen, especially about hot oil... Just as I convince him that it's OK to do at home, this happens. I think this most recent escapade has set his thinking back a ways. Sigh...

I've decided on King's Ranch chicken for dinner. I got a new cookbook and this recipe sounded yummy so that's what we are having.

Tonight I am making Weinermr's recipe for tuna casserole. It's the only kind I make now.

Mmm, tuna casserole sounds good. I'm craving canelloni. Perhaps chorizo canelloni. Who am I kidding? All I'm craving is a big pile of melted cheese. I'll take anything as long as I can melt a cup of cheese on top of it.

Baked Garlic Salmon, sweet potatoes, wild rice and spinach salad with walnuts and raspberry vinegarette. Oh, and grape juice. We are going SUPER healthy tonight. Besides, it's my favorite.
