food and things
Jul. 21st, 2022 01:01 pmlast night i made the garlic tomato pasta dish i linked a bit back and, well...
yes.
yes, please and thank you.
it's such a simple dish, but the flavor was soooo good! i made some shrimp with it (i actually turned the oven on for them, the little bastards) and that just made me think we needed to be eating that at a beach front spanish villa. of course, i could be eating chicken nuggets from mcdonald's and think we should eat that at a beach front villa somewhere.
today i dug out the saffron and then checked how much it costs since we will need some soon....and died. for best quality saffron? it's up to $5000 a pound. whaaaat? how do i grow and sell this??? (i just looked up how much a pound of good quality cocaine costs....it's more, but i bet there's far less risk with saffron....and i wonder if i just flagged myself on some internet spying on people watchlist) i know the process of harvesting is difficult and the window for doing it is short, but still. anyway, the rice calls for 1/4 tsp saffron, and if the rice is really good, we'll order some more to have on hand. but not a pound of it, k? k.

in other news, it's hot. i imagine the majority of you are feeling the heat, too. if you're not? sooooo happy for you, but send some cool my way. =D
i need to prep an area to stain wood, so i think that's what i'll do now.
and remember....
