Death of an Acquaintance

New thing today, death of an acquaintance. I found out today that the person I took over for at our parish for our library passed away on Saturday. I will also be doing a little write-up for her in our parish bulletin. All new. Very sad and not quite sure what to write since I didn't know her that well. Will do my best. She's definitely in a better place now. She was well known and loved in the community so will try to do her justice. Makes you start to wonder, what will you leave behind and whose lives will you touch before you move on. A solemn Monday.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)

New thing today, watched Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013). Boooooo!!! Why?!!!! I have to watch the original Anchorman just to get the taste of that awful movie out of my brain. We got it from Netflix - what a waste :( Boooooo! I got bored, and would rather do laundry than really pay attention to that movie. Oh well.

Chef (2014)

New thing today, watched Chef (2014). This came to our local cheap theater, so we had to give it a try ASAP! We didn't really feel it was a blockbuster full price worth movie, but it's totally worth a video rental or watching it at our local cheap theater. Although, it really is a good movie, so now that I've seen it, I would say it is worth supporting and going to a major movie theater to watch it. It was really cute and I liked it. If you like watching shows like Top Chef and are sort of a foodie, you will enjoy this. There's a lot of footage of cooking and creating delicious artsy and home delicious food. There's this silly scene were he makes grilled cheese but it was so... delicious! I also got excited at the food references to a Texas BBQ place and overall the story is quite nice. You will enjoy this, and you will probably get hungry, so I recommend watching this and then having a meal afterwards, such as Custom Melt in Moorpark - mmmmmm. You will be hungry, in a good way! Go support and watch this movie.

Cubed Spam

New thing today, cooked cubed spam. It was a new format I never cooked before. I also messed up one whole batch. The tiny cubes cooked unexpectedly faster than the regular slices, so I burnt one side of all the cubes of the first batch. Some tasted burnt/charred, and some tasted extra crispy. I was overall disappointed, so I made a second batch much better - no burning. New thing. Oh Happy American Independence Day - 4th of July! We celebrated with Spam :) he he.

The Following - Pilot

New thing today, watched the pilot episode of The Following on Netflix. It's been on my queue awhile and I finally got around to watching it. It was really good. I was surprised. I heard from other people but it was kind of boring and didn't really interest them, but when my husband and I watched it, it was actually really interesting and had me hooked in the first 10 minutes. It's got a good dose criminal serial killer stuff like Dexter, and I really like the characters they're developing and where it could go. It is a fantastic pilot! I also really like Kevin Bacon in this role. I'm excited to have a new show to be into, but also a little worried it will take up so much of my free time now. Good thing it's a long weekend :) Happy Thursday!

Unknown Japanese Place

New thing today, we were traveling and I tried these dishes at an unknown Japanese place. Gyoza, Vegetables and Ikura (salmon fish roe eggs) on top of salmon. Pretty good. Random food place, new thing. 

Zumolla - Paper Monster

New thing today, made Zumolla the July Paper Monster in my calendar. Happy July all.
