Oh, for crying out loud. I spent a distracted afternoon doing the Drills 1-4 in my book, and then realized, after I had done all four of them, that they were for Lesson 52 and not Lesson 53!

Talk about your Homer Simpson moments. There were no donuts about, so I consoled myself with a couple of chocolate cadbury orange eggs. Bad me. Way bad me.

Anyhow, I went back and did the correct homework, but still have to do three Timed Writings of 5 minutes each, then type out the English on the regular keyboard, and correct. I will still have time this week to do the next two lessons (four days) assuming nothing else comes along to distract me.
I am NOT a foodie. God help me. I think foodies are like the woman who hosts The Splendid Table on NPR: obnoxiously smug about their food and its preparation. People. It's FOOD. Not the Sistine Chapel.

Anyhow, that said, I'm kind of excited about tonight's dinner-- I marinated three chicken breasts in fresh lime juice (or a hybrid lime-lemon juice) and they're now roasting in the oven. When they're done, they will be cut up into slices of meat, and they're going to go on a couple plates of quesadillas. The kids don't want the chicken in their quesadillas, but that's okay. They actually sounded *interested* in lime marinated chicken.

And I have some fresh cilantro left over from last night's dinner, so I'll stick plenty of that in the adult's quesadillas. Mmmm. Cilantro.

Oh, yes, and rice. Must cook up some rice.
and damn, it's good. Just what I expected from Jim Butcher.

More later. Right now, I'm licking it up, page by page.
