Treading Water In The River of Life

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

You're treading water in the river of life
It's sink or swim - you've gotta overcome strife
Just treading water in the river of life
It's do or die - you're gonna overcome strife

That's the chorus...not that many words that rhyme with life. Now need to work out the rest...in more ways than one...

Yet that really sums up where I am right now...still pain...still hectic crazy at work...trying to do three jobs and failing...flailing...ailing...
but trying not to stress...

Pee loff

Always wondered how to pronounce pilaf...or even what it was...I bought some store prepared chicken and pilaf...it was more like red beans and rice with grilled chicken on top...

So I went to our buttery friends at food network and looked at some recipes...basically you sweat up some onions or shallots...and/or garlic...in butter...then add a long-grained rice...cook till nutty...add some kind of stock...and other ingredients of your choice...then you can bake...

But the key ingredient/method is using stock instead of water...

Which reminds me...my favorite mexican fried rice recipe is similar...but I use a tomato soup instead of the water...maybe will try that with brown rice...my enemy...and just because it is so difficult to get it cooked right from scratch...

Which is why I usually go to my friend...uncle ben...except one of the containers exploded in my microwave and was a bear to clean up...

Which reminds me...the bears are coming!!!

Not the foodball team...or the bad news ones...Prot358 knows...

Later all

    Two weeks until bear season!! And only 20 Saturday weigh-ins left in 2012 for me. I have so much positive momentum heading into the bears that I feel rather confident. (Hopefully not over-confident though!)
