Better Cooking than Eating!


I was in a bad mood today. Part of it was students, and another part that I didn't get to sleep early enough. I was really tired getting up at 4:30 this morning. On top of that, I'm a little confused and anxious. I don't know what to do about the dog fence I want to put up. I'm just not feeling confident about the plan. It's making me anxious and I don't want to put money out and then not be happy with it. So, anyway, I was crabby, and I was in the mood to cheat.

I felt bad about poor Ken having to put up with me this evening. After he left and after I put the dogs downstairs to bed, I thought about Southewestern Corn Chowder. I haven't made it in a long time, and I really like it. So, I whipped up a batch, and I feel better. I'm not saying the behavior is locked in, but better to cook rather than to eat when I'm feeling like this.

By the way, Ken said he liked the Irish Beef and Guinness Stew. It's one of those that improve the longer it sits. It's definitely a keeper. And my diabolical plan to get Ken to eat healthier seems to be working...of course, he's reading this, and I don't know how diabolical one can be when your adversary knows your plan. Bwaaahhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhh (diabolical laugh).
