Last night I left work at 4:30, went to the store, got home by 5:30 and cleaned the kitchen. I then start to make Mushroom risotto and porkchops. It turned out really well even though I used red wine instead of brandy. Also, I bought a 1/4 a pound of shiitake mushrooms and the rest were baby bellas. I am so cheap.

This week has been really long. Zach and I have both been really stressed. Zach has been working even more hours than I have been this week and what should have been an easy plumbing fix has cause our toliet to be out of commission since Tuesday. We sort of just roll with this stuff but this morning we both got up and didn't want to go to work which is very odd. My plan today is to leave at 4:30 again today.

This weekend we are going to declutter our house. We are going to fix the toliet (Actually we are just replacing it. It is 40 years old), fixing a window and putting up some crown molding. I am going to try to catch up on sleep.

What is wrong with risotto?

I mean, I like mushrooms a lot but I think I want to make asparagus risotto next.

Well it's basically rice, and I can't stand rice.

I've been making this mushroom think lately. Cook like 4 different kinds of mushrooms in butter (with a small onion and maybe some garlic) and thicken it a bit with potato flour. Mmmmmmmmm. Then I decided to make it an actual meal by adding tofu and peas and using soup seasoning mix instead of potato flour. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Oh! I forgot about your rice hatred.

That sounds good.

Last night I used scallions for the first time. They are pretty good.

I don't hate rice. I just loathe it a bit.
