Cooking with beer

blah, blah, blah...I like to eat healthy.

blah, blah, blah...Trader Joes.

blah, blah, blah...they have bratwurst. I know they're not healthy...but, they're from TJs so I can lie to myself.

I cooked them in beer.

They were good.

tasty, tasty

Last night, Dave and I used inspiration from the HipCooks class and let our our inner chefs. Well, I let out my inner cook. Dave said that he let out his inner assembler. Together, we created a tasty little meal. A little chicken-souvlaki type thing with onions. Some Greek-yogurt veggie stuff that may have missed the delicate balance from the class but was good nonetheless. Plus some tasty, tasty pita, feta and cherry tomatoes from the Hollywood Farmers Market. It was a little bit like I was in Astoria again. But, better because we made it ourselves. And, I got to have a good lunch and a tasty little snack with the leftovers. So good.

Take that-I HipCook blogged. Just one of the many HipCooks blogs that could happen from that night. Erin, I know it could have been better...but, I felt pressure.

Snacks

I have a pretty real need to eat on a once every two hours schedule. I get faint (which actually almost happened in my classroom today and has now become my new biggest fear, totally trumping rats). I get grumpy. I get the shakes.

But, I also just enjoy the eating. Sometimes, I think that I'm too quick to fall to my momentary thoughts of pretzels or yogurt. Right now, rather than analyzing the clapping during the State of the Union, I'm wondering if the 4 snacks of tonight means that I have to be done.

I'm just not sure.
