Meals at home this week:

• Sunday I made Alton Brown's baked mac and cheese from Good Eats. Probably the first time I ever actually watched an episode of a cooking show and then made the recipe afterward.

My grandma actually vomited from eating one of the muffins. That is how bad they were. wow. (probably not my fault. she's old. right?)

unemployment still sucks. i went to a waste of time job fair at highmark yesterday. maybe that'll pan out ( Read more... )
