Week over. No more screaming outbursts at work. All to the good. One day this week my horoscope said something about keeping cool under pressure or not over-reacting and the only thing I could think was that it was a damn good thing the boss was out of town that day. Which is really just me over-reacting again as things aren't as bad as all that.
Tried a new recipe from the Rick Bayless cookbook tonight, a chayote casserole. I was short a few ingredients (poblanos & corn) so I riffed on it a bit. I don't like to do that until I've cooked something a few times and gotten comfortable with how the recipe's supposed to work. But it turned out okay. Substituted mushrooms for the corn and some jarred salsa for Bayless' home roasted chile mixture. Hey, the recipe's got over a cup o' grated cheese in it so it'd be hard to screw it up that much.
Last night in order to facilitate the pending dead-tree removal in the backyard, I had to clear out a swath of overgrown shrubs and fallen branches. Which actually took less time than I'd expected. Given free rein, I can apparently destroy the hell outta some backyard foliage in nothing flat.
Meanwhile, we're running out of Ramones.

Hmmm.. Methinks I'm getting ready to self-invite myself to dinner...
