My new addiction...

Elimination cooking programs. Specifically this one CHOPPED! I just love this idea. They get a basket of really hard to work with ingredients and then on the timer, have to come up with something edible, competitive and delicious all at the same time. The rounds start with appetizer, to entree to dessert and there is an elimination each round going from 4 chefs down to 1 winner. They win that show and $10k.

They have two versions of this one, CHOPPED and CHOPPED ALL STARS (with the judges competing for $50K). I love them both. These cooks are incredible and watching them work under pressure is just amazing. I do think I learn a bit about cooking too and get some ideas for my own kitchen and dinners. Food Network, right on.

In other news...I think I have a cavity. Back molar. Total bummer. I bought some Orajel and it feels better but I have to go to the dentist right away. It has been a while since I went to the dentist. Bad on me. So uggles. UGH.

Work is good, busy but I am doing well. All good there.

So that is my mid-week post. Hope all is well with you there. Me, not so much.

Stormy night....

Oh boy gang. It is thunder and lightening here. I love me a good storm right out my window. Yes! I was a storm chaser when I was younger. Always out in bad weather with my friends doing dangerous things. The thrill of it all. Running around in hurricanes and watching hell break loose.

There is something so primal about big weather. We got it here ... some good sounds that make you feel small and insignificant because hey, we are not really in charge of anything really, nature rules! Yes, she does!

Wooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeee!
