Merry New Year

New Year's Eve was interesting at my household. Annie, Cameltoes, and I hung out at the house. I had just used my $100 gift card to Williams-Sonoma to buy a kick arse knife, and I was itching to use it.

So I searched the web for an interesting recipe; one that would be fun to make, and that had a bunch of steps.

So we decided on a beef "strokin' off" recipe, that we got from Williams-Sonoma's web site. It is really, really good, but it takes a lot of effort to make it. At one time, I had all four burners going, which really constitutes a good meal, right?

Well, to make a long story short, it was the best beef strokin' off I'd ever had (but come to think of it, I've only had the Hamburger Helper variety, so that's not saying much). I would highly recommend it. We even had to buy leek, which I didn't even know existed.

In case you were wondering, the knife worked wonderfully. It had better, for it cost me only $89.95 plus tax. Who would think that you could spend that much $ on a single knife? I also bought a honing steel, so my grand total was about $140. I did realize that I love that store, so it might make me just a little gay. Oh well, so I like to cook.

I'm gonna make a good wife someday.


This Friday marks Big R's Bachelor Party/Midget Parade/Donkey Show. It should be interesting. I'm getting pretty excited about it too.

I also have to get fitted for my tux. The big day will be here before we know it. Madness.

Keep on keepin' on.
