in re: mf top chef

holy shit i made dinner all by myself from a recipe and everything. well, almost all by myself -- Guy had to step in and thankfully so because apparently the recipe was retarded and would possibly have rendered dinner inedible.


Hawaiian stir fry tempeh or something like that was the name of the recipe -- it was delightful despite what that picture on the left may indicate. while I was cooking -- which could have possibly added to the need for help from Guy -- I had to open a bottle of wedding wine because the 15 yr old boys that live upstairs were STOMPING and BANGING and I was about to LOSE IT. I don't know what my problem is but I can't stand noises like that so yes, Mom drinks to cope.

Last night I also bugged myself out AGAIN about random chemicals in everything baby-related because I spent hours poring over websites like this one, and this one. To be fair, the second one is pretty cool and i found links to a ton of other places with things i want to buy and do and try and i'm sure i never will. For example: Swap-o-Rama. How cool. I know better though -- I am WAY too lazy to be pawing through other people's clothes to then have to ALTER them. I'm all about thrift stores but jesus it's like a major triumph if i sew a button back on something. Wait -- that's NEVER HAPPENED so that would be like apocalyptic.
