The Cat’s New Nickname
Filed under Cats,School by Kim at 11:19 am on Oct 13 2009
Is Chicken Leg. I don’t know why, his little kitty IV shaven area makes me think Chicken Leg. He doesn’t like it when I pet his shorn area but it’s all I want to do before it grows back!
He only had three teeth removed.
I think Hero’s kind of jealous.
I have been immersed in classwork, which is quite boring, and has me convinced that in order to be a healthy individual I need to cook. As anyone who knows me is aware, this is not welcome news. I’m still internally struggling with it.
Thursday night I am planning to go to Orion Studios in Baltimore to see some of the big names in progressive rock, Roine Stolt and Nick D’Virgilio as well as many other crazy talented folks (and, yes, Swedes). If you are at all interested in joining me let me know! I’ve never been to Orion Studios before and it would be nice to have some show companionship.

I get past the ‘needing to cook’ thing for being healthy by cooking large pots of things that I can then take as leftovers for lunch and supper through the week, and eating all my vegetables fresh. (Well, and lots of frozen spinach warmed up with rice and lentils) Carrots, peppers, tomatoes, etc., are all healthy and don’t need to be cooked.

Yeah – I have a steep learning curve to hit even for “minimalist” cooking.
Do you have any cookbook recommendations? I would really like to keep it simple and rely on fewer-step recipes and not go crazy right away. If I can find one “bible” of cooking I will be happy.
I need to keep it appetizing too – I can’t go straight from a diet of takeout chicken to an all lentils-and-squash thing because ew, I hate lentils and squash, so I have to ease myself into this.

I am so with you on the fewer step the better with cooking. My faves are the “combine and poor over [insert protein here]” type of recipes. I can’t recommend any particular cookbook because I have a recipe here and there from a book and a whole bunch from the ‘net. Lemme know if you would like easy recipes for: meatloaf, taco soup (which is a super-easy chili-ish dish requiring no chopping or slicing), chili, garlic-lime chicken, or sloppy joes.
