It's been a super chaotic week, so I haven't had a chance to write lately! Not to mention that there haven't been too many culinary adventures because I'm still working my way through gumbo...
So I got a dog. More like a small pony, really. He's a black lab- Newfoundland mix, so he's huge. My family rescued him, but weren't able to take care of him, and since I've got nothing but time, I took him in (much to my sisters' dismay). My roommate has a 2 year old German Shepherd, Phoenix, so it has been a super exciting week in our small household.
But on another note, I did try out my fondue pot last week. I got it at an after-Christmas sale at Williams-Sonoma, and Valentine's weekend seemed like the proper time to use it. John Price and I made Cheese Cider Fondue, which used Cheddar and Swiss cheese, and instead of cider, we used Simply Apple juice. It was very yummy. We were going to go to a French restaurant in Atlanta, but happened to get about 5 inches of snow that night, which of course in Alabama means that you cannot drive. Which was for the best. We'll go this Friday, and I'm sure it will be blog-worthy.
Tonight, I made tilapia with lemon butter sauce and pearl onions, with roasted vegetables. It was very simple, but very good. Also, in honor of Mardi Gras, I bought Cafe du Monde beignet mix at World Market, and they turned out great! It was super easy and quick, so I would definitely recommend buying some.
I'm going tomorrow to look for a job.... ugh. I need one, but life seems so hectic already. Oh well, I have another mouth to feed now and not to mention blinds to replace after he tore them down trying to look out the window, so a job is necessary.
A necessary evil.
