Go away! And take your chicken with you!

I am so all about Prince Arthur/Bradley James now. I didn't think he was very hunky until he started making me laugh on a regular basis. The deadly warrior/heir to the throne of Camelot/good looking stuff is just a bonus.
I've finished S2! I probably won't start S3 until they've aired at least 6 episodes, so not for another couple of weeks. Which I guess is like half the season. WTF. Seriously, remember the days when TV shows had like 22 episodes in a season? No wonder David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were so burned out!
( More spoilery commentary. )
Chase just called to schedule my closing date for my no-cost refi! Yay! It's going to be next Thursday.
Unfortunately, the eun daegu jorim did not turn out as well as I was hoping. It *smelled* great, like the real thing... but the liquid was too soupy (the Ka Won version is more like a thick sauce) and the fish was tough. I don't know if the texture problem was me cooking it too long or if whiting is simply not as silky as black cod. Maybe both. But I don't know how to cook the fish a perfect amount while at the same time reducing the sauce to something thick. This will require some experimentation.
OMG and btw? When I was setting to cut the fish into steaks, I was like, hmm, there's something different about this fish than when I usually get whole fish... and I didn't realize until I cut into its midsection that I realized: THE FISH HADN'T BEEN CLEANED. So for the first time ever, I had to gut a fish. It was so gross. Seriously, they couldn't clean the fish before freezing it?!
My mom and aunt are coming into down at the end of Oct/early Nov for my birthday. I thought they wouldn't since I'm already going home for Thanksgiving, but it will be cool to have them here, especially for the sake of K.'s kids. Plus now I have to think of where I want to go for my bday dinner. I think most likely it's going to be Spring Hill's fried chicken dinner. OMG though, I just saw that they've raised the price to $98 (from $80)! Sheesh. The only must-have I would like for my bday is Bakery Nouveau's chocolate cake. OMG best cake ever.
