I think I'm going to start wearing a tiara all the time.
Monday afternoon was decadent. I read a book and listened to the new Raconteurs cd combined with the pecking of the typewriter. I also made a concoction involving pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino, and jarred sauce. Jarred sauce? Sucks. I had to add a whole mess of stuff to make it edible. I'm seriously not buying anymore of it. Give me canned tomatoes any day.
It's pledge week on Michigan radio which means I start off not minding the constant interruptions and the lack of weather coverage and then I move on to feeling guilty for not pledging a dollar a day (I mean, honestly, if I had to put a dollar into my radio in order to listen to NPR every day I would totally do it, but no, I am not going to call and pledge $365) and now I'm to the point I start saying mean things in response to the anchors. I have two more days and yet I suspect I won't get out of it without saying something foul about Christina Schockley. I won't mean it. I just feel guilty. I love it when they start comparing it to cable thereby allowing me to smugly say "I don't haaaave cable, so there!" only to realize that because I don't have cable I'm probably listening to public radio more and also because I'm lacking a cable bill I should, in theory, have a little extra cash on hand to pledge to Michigan radio. They should compare it to expensive beer. Or bottles of vodka. Maybe that would get through to me.
I am going to make duck this weekend. I've been eating some amazing pears lately and I love figs so this recipe jumped out at me. Plus, ahem. Duck is delicious. I'm going to make my own fig balsamic and pearl onions shouldn't be a big deal. My big stumbling block is, well, the duck. I have a lead on some frozen breasts, but I'd much prefer fresh. I'm going to keep looking. Actually I have a larger psychological stumbling block which is my perfectly seasoned vegetarian friendly cast iron skillet being tainted with duck fat.
Mmmmmm....duck fat......
I'm sure I'll get over it.
