crucible of ennui

 I don’t know why, but I’ve been on the downside streak of bad cooking. The green bean casserole didn’t turn out the way I wanted. I thought that I’d do it from scratch and follow that neat recipe on Good Eats, but the beans were still underdone and kinda crunchy. And the onion topping was mediocre to horrible (depending on whether I’m in the room or not). meh. I’ll try it again for tomorrow night when Glenn gets home and we have our Thanksgiving, but I’m going with those fried onions out of the can by French’s and maybe even getting frozen green beans so I don’t have to clean and prep 2 lbs of fresh beans again. 

Other than that - it’s been a pretty low-key weekend. Kinda boring. Not wanting to do much of anything. I’m not about to brave the malls or any other retail establishment. I’m just in an anti-holiday type of mood, I guess.
