I was bored and hungry at the same time, and as many people know this is a lethal combination. The hunger gets stronger and stronger with each bull second, and you begin to reach for junky-unhealthy items. But don’t fret bloggers I have just found an amazing sandwich. A concept that has been around for centuries has finally crossed my threshold: a fried egg and ham sandwich… (drools.) Add tomato, lettuce, mayo, and your favorite ham; place it all on toasted bread and dig in…
Dear readers, this is the best cookie I have ever ate, or made for that matter. (except white-chocolate macadamia nut—my favorite.) I tweaked the recipe so that I could use the recipe with the stuff I had at home. It’s a Martha Stuart recipe, from her book about baking…. the recipe calls for maple syrup but I used honey, and it could not be better, or tastier. Baking really brought out the honey flavor. I’m not going to write down the recipe but I will post pictures of the procedure =D
So today I decided to stay home from school on the account of my back… yes, you heard it right. I feel sixty-five at the moment; when I was picking up my backpack something must have moved or I might have pulled a muscle because it hurts when I move my head up or down. Yes, sixty-five would be a great way to describe this feeling. (No offense to those sixty-five year old bloggers.)
Well as I was staying home school, bored out of my mind and watching reruns on TBS, I decided to pull together what I had at home:
All these ingredients come out to this wonderfully light and quite tasty dish:
The procedure for this recipe (which I made on the spoof) is of the utmost simplicity. Heat up some oil, throw in the garlic, then the onions. Cook them till they’re soft. Then come come the green onions, basil, cook for about ten minutes. Throw in your tomatoes, pecans and cook them until they’re warm. Add the cooked pasta, and stir until it’s all cooked through. (You might want to keep a cup or so of the pasta water to add to the sauce incase there’s not enough to go around.)
And that’s it. Twenty to thirty minutes and you have a wonderful pasta dish. Keep it vegetarian or serve it with your favorite meat on the side.
Today I participated in a chess match through my high school. We won substantially though two of our guys lost; the third and seventh board lost. All in all it was a great match.
I didn’t not lose, I play first board. I dominated my opponent in about twenty five moves. (He resigned on the twenty fifth.) If anyone’s interested in the game, here’s the notation:
1.e4 c5 2.c3 d5 3.Nf3 dxe4 4.Qa4+ Nc6 5.Qxe4 Nf6 6.Qc2 g6 7.Bb5 Bd7 8.Qb3
Bg7 9.d3 O-O 10.Bc4 Na5 11.Qc2 b5 12.Bb3 Bf5 13.Be3 c4 14.Nd4 cxb3 15.axb3
Bd7 16.Na3 a6 17.O-O-O e5 18.Nf3 Be6 19.c4 bxc4 20.dxc4 Qb8 21.Nxe5 Nxb3+
22.Kb1 Qxe5 23.Qxb3 Rfb8 24.Qa2 Ne4 25.b3 Nc3+
Position after 25. b3 Nc3

I did absolutely nothing today. I went to school, etc. Made mushroom soup with my dad, and watched a movie. Oh I took a nap; that was the highlight of my day. I don’t have anything new post about': no recipe or anything else. I’m hoping to have a few posts tomorrow. I’m traveling with the Chess Team, and I’m going to try and post my game. Maybe make some food. =D
