Signed my closing papers this morning for my refi. Yay! Not only is Chase paying all the closing costs, I am going to set up autowithdrawal with them (which I currently do anyway, just with another bank), because doing so will give me 1% of my mortgage payment back. Hey, that is no small thing! And anyway it only requires a small change on my part.
Currently in the oven: a tomato tart from one of the Canal House Cooking volumes. I love those cookbooks, even if they're all blase about certain ingredients. "Steam two lobsters..." "Thinly slice a fresh black truffle..." "Pull the lobes of the foie gras apart..." "Use a pinch of saffron..." Yeah, okay, let me just hop into my Rolls Royce and I'll get right on it. Luckily they do also have recipes that the common folk can use, too. Edit: It's done! Turned out rather well, I think.
It had the bonus of being really easy, since I used puff pastry from Trader Joe's. Defrost 1 sheet of pastry (or you can be like me and defrost both because they're too stuck together :P). Score a border with a sharp knife. Poke holes all over the pastry with a fork. Layer tomato slices on the pastry in a single layer. Sprinkle with fresh or dried thyme and pepper. Bake in a 375°F oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is a deep brown. Season with sea salt.
I've finally started watching Supernatural, which Jade recced years ago. It's basically the X-Files with two young dudes, lol. I'm enjoying it so far, but I honestly don't know how long I can last with it because there's nothing to ship. I know, the online community ships Sam/Dean, but they're BROTHERS. I just can't go there. I do enjoy their interactions a lot, though. I thought Sam's girlfriend Jessica was a bit too standard bubble-gum blonde. Right now, between the two brothers I actually prefer Dean, though I don't actually find him very attractive. Then again I also don't find Jared Padalecki attractive, either (maybe THAT'S why I doubt how long I'll last w/ the show), never really have. When he was on Gilmore Girls and Rory was torn between him and Logan, I was so Logan all the way. Mmm Matt Czuchry.
I've been watching Percula's The Craft of War: Blind again, and it's just so unspeakably awesome. It actually makes me feel a tinge of possibly wanting to play WoW again, which is quite an accomplishment. Apparently he's lost interest in WoW himself and won't be making the TCoW series with all the classes as he had originally intended, which does make me a sad panda for the awesomeness that might have been.
I've updated my profile interests, and I can't believe I'm the only person in the LJ community interested in Rhaegar/Lyanna. How is this POSSIBLE?
