Got an email from my dad. He will be making a nice contribution to my Eee fund for Christmas... enough that I will be able to buy the 900HA even if I don't get anything from my mom or grandparents! Soon, oh, soon it will be mine! |

![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} doombuggie linked me to this.Cthulhu Hot Dog Roaster. If I did any outdoor grilling, I'd be all over that like a Mi-Go on grey matter. |

Patricia from HAND. She was in for two hours today, and my kitchen is ZOMG clean (she even cleaned the Foreman grill!), the bathroom is lovely, my clothes are folded, it's awesome. Also, I got some sort of dontated-stuff gift basket! The contents were oddly random... socks, a toothbrush, small bottles of toiletry, canned lasagna, notepads... but certainly welcome. So that's my happy of the day. |

The song: ( Jess Klein, 'All I Ever Had' ) It makes me want to write L/A. I'm going to try and tease something out of my head there, it'd be nice to write something. |

Between that, the Amazon GC from my dad, and what I have saved, I can get the 1000HA even if I don't get anything from my mom. Yay! The HolyClothing outfit still hasn't come. Unless it comes in the mail tomorrow afternoon I won't be able to wear it to the party. And if it doesn't come tomorrow I will send them a pissed off email; I've been calling the post office repeatedly and talked to the mailman as well. |

| My great-grandmother's beef stroganoff recipe | ||||
| 08:35pm 19/12/2008 | ||||
doombuggie, and to rehd_fawx. I gave it to rehd_fawx on IRC and I figure, if I'm gonna share it and type it you, why not give it to everyone? So, C&P'ed...[Unknown LJ tag] NnyeAr: The measurements are vague, you can adjust it depending on your tastes NnyeAr: You need a big pot to cook it in, like a stewpot NnyeAr: cut up a small yellow onion or half a big one and saute it in the pot NnyeAr: then take about a pound of stew beef (it should be cubed, it usually comes cubed) and dredge the pieces lightly in flour, then put them in the pot and brown them a little NnyeAr: then put in enough beef broth (or beef bullion and water) to cover the beef and onion and let it simmer for a while NnyeAr: don't boil it, just simmer NnyeAr: put in about a teaspoon of tomato paste... NOT sauce, the paste that comes in teeny cans NnyeAr: and a few dashes of worchestershire sauce NnyeAr: and however much paprika and salt and pepper you like NnyeAr: and after it's simmered for maybe half an hour NnyeAr: put in sliced mushrooms (a little if you only want a little, a lot if you love mushrooms), 8 oz of sour cream, and 8 oz of heavy cream NnyeAr: let that simmer over a low heat, stir it, taste it and see if it needs more worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper, or paprika NnyeAr: while it is simmering, make your egg noodles NnyeAr: and when you can't stand just smelling it anymore, serve it over the egg noodles. NnyeAr: My mom always used to serve it with peas. NnyeAr: It's basically a thick creamy stew NnyeAr: Oh, and have crusty bread for sopping-up NnyeAr: and it reheats very well. It's very easy to make, and a pretty forgiving recipe. It's also a good dish to make with friends, when you can delegate little things like chopping, and talk during the long simmering and maybe crack a bottle of wine or something. |

Thank you, people who point out to me when someone claims this as their own. |
