Bangers

I was at the grocery store today looking for tri-tip (yes, I loved it that much) and was wandering through the meat department and lo and behold I stumbled across bangers. Now, I was actually looking for chorizo, but I happened across bangers. Um, if I had to eat that more than once I would be a very unhappy camper. White sausages??? It reminded me way too much of brautwurst and I detest brautwurst. I am hoping that it tastes better than it looks. And if I come across picky by nitpicking on bangers while looking for chorizo, I absolutely cannot get the "real" chorizo down. There is a spiced up pork without all of the extras that chorizo loves to have. Anyway, that's my take on bangers. Please tell me they taste better than they look. And as for the mash - I shudder at the thought...lol

Culinary Lab Rat

I have become the experimentee. My hubby is taking culinary classes as a part of his hospitality degree and he likes to experiment with food. I am his victim. Yeah! Real hard work. He created a marinade for the tri-tip that was fabulous. He then topped the tri tip sandwich with a coleslaw with a chipotle dressing. Gave it such an awesome flavor. Not spicy at all. Last night he made a pork dish. Cubed it up and put it in a kind of pineapple sauce. Hard to explain... Reminded me of a sweet and sour pork dish without the cubes of bell pepper and onion. I liked it much better. Had it with another batch of the coleslaw with chipotle dressing. I'm going to get fat - I mean fatter... but what a way to go.

Internet Connection

I really hate wifi. Last night (or should I say early morning) I decided to take my proficiency exam for a job I applied for. The test consisted of about 5 different segments. One was a typing exam, another was inputting info that was being relayed through a simulated call, another was multi-tasking, and so on. I kept losing my connection. I was in the middle of my 4th call (out of 8) with 3 1/2 minutes left (out of 10) and the connection went "poof." Didn't come back up until I had about 20 seconds left and I was unable to pick up where I left off. Now the thing that aggravates me about this whole thing is the fact that I am paying a monthly service for this thing. I am definitely not getting my money's worth. So that job is now down the drain... It's hard enough to find a job, much less have my connection sabotage my efforts.
