I slept in this morning. Yay! I have dreamt that the ice cream truck going by sold Lunapads. Heh. I got up and made a mutant blueberry muffin. Basically, I made the mix (open packet, add milk, mix) and poured the mixture into my mini oval baker from Pampered Chef. Cooked about 15 minutes (package said 14-17 minutes) in the oven. It was kind of an experiment...I don't like the old muffin tins we have, nor do I have cups to line the tin, so I decided to bake one large muffin, kinda like a sweet bread. I wasn't sure it would work, but it did, and I did not have to change the recipe or directions at all.

I had some of my new Darjeeling tea with the muffin while I caught up on last night's Degrassi episodes. Poor JT...

I also watched a little bit of travel programs...Rick Steves (or as Chas and I like to say "Nerd" Steves) actually brought his family on one his trips. Fucking finally! I mean, this guy has been doing travel programs for a long time. This was the first time I saw his family. They were in Ireland. I want to go there. I want to go back to Europe. Scandinavia especially, and the Balkans. My personality matched Finland as a country that meets my personality needs. Or something.

I have to start to get ready to head over to [livejournal.com profile] nymphie's for the Drunken Pumpkin Party later.

Tomorrow, I hope to go to the MC Escher exhibit at OMA (Orlando Museum of Art) and maybe meet up with [livejournal.com profile] lolaburns later for some Degrassi gossip or whatever. I am sure we will chat about something, right?

Ok, must shower to get ready for the party.

Oh god, dinner was good! It was fancy, in a simplistic way. We had "Dinner For Two" from Bertolli. It is basically a frozen "skillet style" meal from the guys who make olive oil. We had the Roasted Chicken and Linguine variety...it was roasted chicken breast fillets, melted mozzarella cheese and zucchini paired with a mellow tomato basil sauce. Aside from it being high in sodium (tomato sauce and a little bit of preservatives as the last ingredients) it seems to be relatively healthy looking too. No funky ingredients til the preservatives near the bottom of the list. It was neat actually...the package had the linguine frozen into 4-5 little nests, the chicken and zucchini chunks, and the tomato sauce and mozzarella cubes. Heat in skillet for 10 minutes. Not only did it taste good, but it actually tasted like an authentic Italian dish (at least to me...Jan might argue otherwise :P ) and not just some ordinary frozen meal. I am going to try a few of the other varieties. Chas ate it, zucchini and all, because it was nicely balanced he said. Yay! He ate some veggies! :D

I also made garlic breadsticks from Pilsbury. I hadn't had them in a long time, and now I remember why...they're kinda weird. But they went with the meal well, so that is good. I'd rather have made some focaccia bread instead, but the mix I used to get is hard to find these days.

I think I will make some of the gingerbread tea now. I am loving my Adagio teas. I just saw on the website that they have Blogger skins...I am tempted to make a Blogger account just to use one of the skins...maybe like a tea diary. I may just set it up solo at first, and if someone wants to share the space, well, then I will share it gosh darn it, so long as it stays on the subject of tea (and not just limited to Adagio--I love other teas too!). So what do you guys think?
