whew.

no, i've not fallen off the face of the earth, i've been crushed under work. this week i learned about the physics of optics in a Zeiss FF3 fundus camera, a bunch about digital camera ccd chips and filters, and a little about electrical waves, because we had messy ones. so much to know, i love it! i don't feel like talking about that right now, but there's lots cooking at work these days.

speaking of cooking (am i smooth or what?), right now i'm waiting for 715 to roll around so i can put my dinner in the oven. tonight's menu consists of bleu cheese stuffed mushrooms (recipe here), which are ready and waiting to go, and a variation on this recipe. for the vegetable we will be having roasted baby carrots, and for a starch we will be having Alexia oven reds bagged spiced potatoes- available in your local grocer's freezer section. i'm pretty psyched.

got half a case of wine, so the meal will be accompanied by a nice pinot grigio (also featured in the gravy) and for those of you who prefer a red wine we have a spicy peppery cabernet.

i fucking rule.


i also finally had a chance to clean the house and mess with my plants, etc today. tonight i will be hanging my christmas decorations; i'm breaking down and contributing to the slaughter of innocent shrubbery. i want a christmas tree!!


pictures later.
i'm out.
