Using what's in the fridge, vol 2

Cut up half an onion and some garlic. Put it in a pan with some hot olive oil and some Penzey's chicken taco seasoning. Added a little cayenne. Sauteed.

Put about three cups of stock in there, added a frozen chicken breast and let it poach. Shredded up the chicken, added a jar of salsa.

It makes a passable soup. Who knew?

Mmmm, sounds mighty tasty.

Last night I rubbed three chicken breastuhses with Tony Cachere's and grilled them. MizBubs picked some basil and rosemary, I heated some garlic in some olive oil and then threw the frozen broccoli florets I had in the freezer in with some spaghetti while it cooked, then we tossed the whole mess together.

Here's to using up what's left in the fridge!

Well done, Bubses! This will be a regular feature going forward. Keep me posted on your achievements!

I was on board until the salsa. That sounded strange, but I'd try it if you made it.

Realistically, salsa is just tomatoes, chili, garlic, onion, cilantro and maybe a bit of citrus. It would have been better to use a fresh version of each of these, but I didn't have that.

That would have caused a riot in my house, ultimately ending in my lynching. Sweetness might have eaten eat, Mr. Ten S would have complained and bink would have started stabbing me with his fork. Personally, I think it sounds kind of good.

I make something similar, only there is frozen corn and a can of black beans involved too.

You should ask yourself, "Self, what would Jesus concoct?".
I imagine it would have been some tasty shit no matter what he thought up.

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him...

Planning Funerals

We've been picking out hymns and suits to wear at the visitation and crematory urns for the ashes and cemetery plots with a good view. My dad passed away at 1 PM on Father's Day. He'd been in excruciating pain, which progressed as the week went on. By Thursday night we had to up the morphine dose so that he slept all the time, but at least he wasn't writhing in pain. Metastasized bone cancer is an ugly, ugly thing. On Friday, I spent the day with him. I sat in the comfy chair in his room and read him my Managing Strategic Innovation prep work and case study. I guess I'm assuming it was the morphine that kept him sleeping, but we'll never really know. On Saturday, my mom and I played scrabble by his bed most of the day. There were some rousing plays, especially since she refused to let me play 'squab' and 'nori' because these were not familiar words to her and we didn't have an official scrabble dictionary handy. I called her a dirty cheater,...

Executive MBA 2006-07 Director's Prize

This prize is awarded to the Executive MBA student who is judged by his or her peers to have contributed most to the overall success of the programme. Awarded to: Me I'm really happy about this - I've been the stream rep between the administration and my fellow students, which is the primary reason I've won this...I've managed a lot of situations and helped sort out problems, and while it's been a bit of work it's also been quite fun. I've got all sorts of thoughts and feelings, and in about an hour I'm calling my mom to hear about Thanksgiving with my brother and to tell her the news, but the over-riding reflection I have is this. My dad would be very, very proud. This would have made his day.
