Things are cooking!

So Evelyn and I had a cooking date today. It was so much fun! Yeah, I actually pulled a recipe off of the Internet and then Ev and I went to the store, picked up the ingredients and a movie, and went to my place to cook! Ok, so when I say my place, I mean my parents place. I've been taking care of it while they're in Hawaii. Of course, the downside to this is that I have NO clue where anything in the house is! It took us FOREVER to actually prepare everything, because we were searching for everything! It took 5 minutes to find the vegtable oil, 10 minutes to find sugar! Actually, we found brown sugar, I believe, but actual white sugar was only found in the form of sugar cubes...which made them fun to measure (4 looks kinda like a tablespoon...). It's also kinda strange to toss sugar cubes in with the chicken (it's fine, they'll dissolve. They will, uh, they aren't dissolving? Dissolve, damn you! They aren't, uh, well, oh, ok. Finally). But everything turned out well in the end. Actually, it's recipe to add to the list, since it was in fact quite good.

Now, the movie, in contrast, was in fact quite bad. If you haven't seen Raising Helen, consider yourself lucky. Heh, well, ok, it's not quite that bad. It did have some cute parts to it, and it was fun to laugh over how cheesy some of the dialogue was.
