With Cod as my witness

Tonight I bought a piece of cod that apparently was swimming off the frigid waters of New England earlier that morning, and it showed. Fish can seem complicated, but nothing could be easier: Soak it in milk for a minute or two, dip in flour, and pan fry. This is served with kale sauteed with a little chicken broth and some grain mix from Trader Joe's. Thank you, little cod, for jumping into my fry pan.

Election Night Fun

This is what I made to watch the returns:



Terrorist hot dogs in honor of our new President.

(Necessary footnote: The interweb does not have a font for irony, so let me be clear, my friends: I am kidding. I do not think people who wear turbans are terrorists. I do not think Obama is a terrorist. I am beyond excited for the outcome of this election. I saw this in Martha Stewart as Halloween mummy hot dogs and thought it would be funny. )

(Second, unnecessary footnote: Hotdogs lovingly wrapped in biscuit dough from a can are very, very tasty. )
