I hope you like SAND

Yay! Salad Fingers 7! Not as random as the others, but it'll do. The cartoon right under it, 100 Kinds of Soup or whatever, now THAT is a weird one.

Today was a low-key day. I cleaned and I cooked. Yeah, maybe I should just be a housewife. :p

I decided to make one snacky thing and then a pasta dish for dinner. The first thing came out differently than I expected it to, but not in a bad way. They're basically just lumps of peanut butter, honey, wheat germ, powdered nonfat milk, and nutmeg. You're supposed to roll them in cereal after, but I just mixed some Kashi GoLean into them. They taste a LOT like those Indian ball things I got from the Indian market awhile ago. If I changed the recipe a little bit, I probably could make a fairly good imitation of them. Towards the end the mix was a little dry and the lumps weren't holding together, so the last few got some nutella thrown in. Not a bad addition, I must say. >:)

At first they were really crumbly, but after being refrigerated for awhile they're sticky together a bit more and have a nice, chewy consistency. I also like how the nutmeg really compliments the wildflower honey that I used, which has a slightly different taste than your average, supermarket brand honey. It's noticeable but not overpowering.

The pasta dish was not from a recipe, I just went to Shaw's and grabbed stuff that I thought would taste good together, hehe. So I ended up with gnocchi, marinated artichoke hearts, asparagus, spinach, and chicken (those prepackaged strips. . .I've never cooked with regular, raw meat cuz it's not usually my thing) in a sundried tomato sauce with a mix of shredded romano, parmesan, and asiago cheeses. Oh man, it is soooooooo good. I had enough leftover for a late evening snack and there's STILL enough left to take to work tomorrow. Plus, I have extras of everything but the chicken, so I'll probably make this dish again and maybe tweak it a tiny bit for variety.

As I've said before, maybe I *should* have gone to culinary school! :
Anyway, working 8-4 tomorrow and then I'm buckling down and fixing my resume and hopefully coming up with a cover letter for the Houghton Mifflin position/s. I plan on taking it all in to Career Services again this week, but hopefully I won't get Mr. "Whatever Turns You On" Man again. The creepy vibe was a little bit high with that one, haha.

Trust me, the one I linked to is a lot LESS creepy than some of the other cartoons on fat-pie.com!

I love them though. >:)
