Top Chef and more

Posted by Mike on Nov 17 2008 | Cooking, Life of Mike, TV/Movies

I always feel that the title of a post should come at the end of the page when it comes to blogging. Unlike some bloggers, I have next to no idea what i’m going to write about when I begin. Hence the “and more” part of the title. I’m watching the premiere rerun of Top Chef, a show which I love more than certainly any reality show, and possibly any other show out there.

Unfortunately I had no idea it was starting, and feel a little jaded and disappointed that I missed the first episode. It’s the kind of thing that I make popcorn for. And now that the Cute southern girl is gone, I’m a little bit more sad. Still not sure who my picks are for the season, i’ll probably write that later.

Today Danielle and I planned our joint birthday party, and I’ve got to say I’m really excited. We’re going to have an all day festival with football, grilling, hot tubs, drinks, and everything else we feel like. I’m going to try and whip something tasty up- but i’m not sure what yet. I guess i’ve got about 2 weeks to figure that out. I’ve been cooking a lot recently, and maybe that’s because i bought my tupperware, or maybe it’s the relaxing nature of the art. I think i spoke of it being Zen like before, and I still feel this way.

The next thing i’m making is a creamy hot chocolate for Stef and myself (tonight) but i am going to try some Waldorf chicken legs tomorrow, and maybe some creamy citrus chicken this weekend. I saw the recipe on the le Creuset site, and i’ve been licking my chops ever since.

Finally, I don’t think i’ve written much about Obama being elected, and I still will not, but there are a few things I want to throw out there. With the coming of this new age, we are setting history. Let’s adopt the following rules as part of this history breaking process:

  1. Sentences will never, ever be ended again by saying the word “Not”
  2. Sublime will be played 50% less. Seriously guys, what’s up with Sublime? I’ll throw 311 into this boat as well. If I never hear Amber again it will be too soon.
  3. Counting before songs in music. We get it- it’s raw and not over produced to do it. Or something like that. Just start the damn song, ok?
  4. The BCS System. Let’s try something new, like a tournament.
  5. Saw Sequels. One was good, they’ve got exponentially worse since.
  6. Bush bumper stickers. I’m assuming this one is self explanatory, yet won’t come true. Ever.
  7. References to Brown University.
