Creepy

Anne sent me this kick-ass care package (thanks again Anne, you are awesome). In it was one thing for Dave, a Cook's Illustrated magazine. Roland really like this magazine but doesn't get it anymore due to the cost and not having enough time to read it (while at the firm), so he was excited about getting this free copy. Last night I was reading in bed and Roland joined me after the Colbert Report to peruse Cook's. The first article? Pan roasting a whole chicken, which he just did for dinner and still had some chicken breasts to use up. The second article? Spinach salad with dressing made from bacon drippings, which he just did for dinner. The third article? Pot roast, which he bought from the store and was planning on making later this week. Later in the magazine? The long lost recipe for creme brulee, which I adore and Roland has apparently been plotting how to make me sometime since we didn't have the Cook's Illustrated recipe (originally published years ago).

Spooky

How can I hire Dave for a rest of my life so I, and Kate, never have to worry about cooking again?

It couldn't be easier:

1. Win Lotto
2. Hire Dave at quivalent wage to his current job.
3. Done!

I have dibs on Dave if I ever become independently wealthy! Also dibs on Susan to be my personal seamstress!

That string of coincidences (coincidi?) is seriously weird!!!

Who ever gets randomly wealthy first wins the right to pay for Dave to cook for them. Maybe he could get his own food network show filmed in your kitchen!

Anne, I've been crafty all day today.

I would love to be a personal chef for some (non-demanding) person who would give me the bucks and freedom to do interesting and fun things every day. So yeah, when you hit the lotto let me know. I'll be there. (Tonight we had bone-in pan roasted chicken breasts with a garlic, onion, and beer reduction sauce, with a side of julienned carrots and zucchini. Tasty stuff. Adapted from the aforementioned Cook's Illustrated magazine.)

Susan, what kind of crafty? I'm intrigued!

Also, it's March - officially Spring in AC:WW - all new bugs are out and about! Woot!
