wickedfleaGot up early for me on a Saturday and went out knocking around. Picked up Gov't Mule's new album. Not too knocked out by the material so far, but it'll probably grow on me when I hear it live. That's usually the way with them. They hadn't been playing any of the new stuff live until the album came out, so the recorded versions probably won't compare to the fleshed-out live versions.
Went to the bookstore and actually didn't buy anything except a couple of magazines. I need to stop buying books and start reading the ones I have all over the apartment.
Then I went to see Garden State, which a couple of different people had recommended. Good movie for a day like today, and I enjoyed it. I started to sneak into Shaun of the Dead after that, but I was too afraid of getting busted. Then I thought about going to see A Dirty Shame downtown at 7, but I made the mistake of sitting down at the computer, and now it's five till. I might go down and see Napoleon Dynamite at 11. Not sure.
This was the first movie I've gone to see by myself in years. I'm pretty sure the last one was Jackie Brown.
Now I'm crying because I just put on red beans and rice (recipe in comments) to cook, and because of the chopped onions my eyes is going crazy. I went to the Empire State Building, and because of these glasses I can't SEE, goddamnit. /solrosenberg
Geez, this makes two nights in a row that I've cooked. Alert the media. And y'all come git some red beans in a few hours when they finally get soft. It's good stuff if you like it.
Damn. I was feeling pretty good till I made the most boring post in the history of the world.

Date: 2004-10-02 04:33 pm (UTC)I've taken to cooking this in a pot on the stove instead of in a crock-pot, but it still takes a hell of a long time for the beans to get soft. My grandmother claims that omitting the vinegar cuts this time down, but I've never noticed much of a difference, really. I need to figure out a good method of preparing the beans so they'll get soft quicker. All I do is soak them overnight. I think there's some method where you soak them and then boil them, or boil them and then soak them, but I can never remember what it is.
Anyway, it's all worth it. Just keep adding water and cooking till they're good and mushy. :)
