Just a quick update for today while my dinner is cooking.
Had today off, and man was that a relief! After working all weekend, having a Monday off was a nice change of scenery. Last night Erika and I went to Seth’s house and cooked out. Had a blast. Good to hang out with friends every once in a while.
Didn’t do much today, sat around at the beginning of the day and watched the news. Saw a plane make a crash landing, and then watched a police chase live. Yes, this is the world we live in. No real news, just items that grab the viewers for a better rating to sell commercials.
As I said before, I’m making dinner. Trying a new sauce we found the recipe for in a magazine. Strange ingredients: ginger, brown sugar, red wine, soy sauce, and garlic. Bring to boil and then simmer until thickened. I am on that last part now. It will be used to glaze the chicken I will be grilling in about 20 minutes. I will have to let you know how that goes.
Other than all of that, I go back to work tomorrow, and have to find out if I work on Memorial Day. Of course, I want that day off, but I will see what I can do. The more days spent at the lake being lazy, the better.
Okay, off to finish the dinner, talk later.

That sauce sounds yummy, let me know how it goes.
And my merlot was NOT a yellow tail… yellow tail was never hip… was it?
The sauce came out ok. I should have used the low sodium soy sauce, the salt in the soy sauce made it a tad bitter when thickening.
Oh and yellow tail used to be hip. But beyond the hipsters, it still taste good. For the price, you still cant beat it. In fact, made my sauce with some yellow tail cabernet sauvignon. Still drinking it today. Not bad!
Hm… I guess I just was raised to think wine was bad if it was less than $20 a bottle… I’ve actually been proved wrong on that one before so this really shouldn’t come as a surprise to me.
Speaking of drinking, Joseph and I are trying to get a group of people up to the 8 tonight for a few drinks. Give one of us a ring if you and/or your missus want to come out.
Sorry, I can’t do it tonight. I have to work early in the morning, and quite frankly, I am broke right now. So maybe next time. But thanks for thinking of me.
No problem, I really shouldn’t go out myself seeing as I fall asleep at my desk every day.
