It's beginning to happen ... while perusing my music collection to decide what to put on my iPod, i found more than one album that left me scratching my head. Who are these people? When did i get this? In an effort to thwart my "acquire, add to iTunes library, and forget" tendencies, over the last two days i've been listening to entire albums instead of my typical 36k song shuffle. You can find reviews of two of them, Ladytron and American Analog Set, on my music page. So far most of my experimental acquisitions have been positive, although i must admit i tried to listen to the Perishers album and almost lost consciousness during the first song. Speaking of experiments, i tried out a new self-conceived pasta formulation last night. I introduced some basil and cilantro to the zuchinni, peppers, and onions that i usually sauté and add to my pasta sauce. In addition, i sautéed some shallots, basil, and green onions with chicken to go on top of the pasta. I quite liked it. My one qualm is that i haven't mastered the timing of cooking multiple dishes. By this i mean starting each dish in turn so that all finish at roughly the same time, allowing you to serve everything nice and hot off the stove. This time, the pasta was steaming but the chicken had been done for 10 minutes and as such was only lukewarm. Practice, practice, practice. | |
