I seem to have wandered thru my weekend without actually getting much accomplished. I was planning to clean out the gutters and install screens on them. At least it's not supposed to rain at all this week. Did do the radio thing yesterday, which was fun, as always. Even got a phone call asking about the track I'd played from Cuisine Non-Stop. And, coincidentally enough, I'd pulled Yat Kha's Yenisei Punk planning to play something from that only to receive Bill's online request for a Yat Kha track from their earlier CD, Dalai Beldiri.
Last night was the Evil Genius throwdown at la casa del Rick! Viva & Courtney. I totally forgot about the costume component, but there were a few inspired efforts, including but not limited to Phil Spector, General Zod, El Seed, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man. Lots of good fun what is funny. I made the scene with Lisa (Sarah decided to stay in and sew). The local blogerati was there, along with many of XDU's finest. And a cast of thousands. Well, maybe not but it was pretty packed in. I called it a night around midnite-30
Tonight I tried my hand at making chicken fesenjan, with fairly okay results. I mean, it's not a patch on the one they serve at Parveneh in Chapel Hill, but it was a respectable first effort. Nuts weren't ground quite fine enough and I need to figure out some way to get rid of the pomegranate seeds. I'm thinking either crush and strain the juice before adding. Or run the finished sauce thru the blender instead of the food processor.
