Delicious Frustration

I'm still working on my desktop. I never did get the hard drive that I bought working, instead having to install one that my dad sent me. After finally getting that up and running (and going through what felt like 5 hours of Windows updates) my wireless won't work. I have installed, un-installed, and re-installed the blasted adapter about 8 times. I finally got the computer to recognize the thing at all but the computer isn't seeing any wireless networks. It's not the router or modem because I'm able to use the internet just fine wired. Stupid Computer. My last recourse was to email the Netgear people, but I haven't heard anything from them yet. If not, I guess I will have to go out and get a new adapter. But this time I'm thinking of getting one from Linksys that goes through USB rather than using a PCI slot. It will also allow me to move the unit around a little more to maximize my wireless range.

In much happier news, Roland Made Me Dinner. Considering the dinner I think it deserves gratuitous capitalization. It was from the AB book I'm Just Here for the Food. It was a whole chicken with shallots and garlic. From what I understand it was first pan fried and then put in the oven for some more different cooking. Notice that my understanding is rather limited and for a more complete look you will have to pester Roland to tell you about it. We also had zucchini and sausage, and a really good salad with spinach, Havarti with dill, and bacon, with a raspberry dressing. It was awesome. Apparently the whole chicken didn't fit in the pan so Roland saved the breasts for a later time and we had the thighs, wings, and legs. The meat was so tender the bones just fell out. And the flavor! The garlic and shallots were perfect, soft and tender, so tender you could spread them. In fact we did, on some bread, making it a fabulous garlic bread. I'm tellin' ya, mouth watering! Bleys agreed, right before dinner I got his dinner ready and he totally went Pavlov and started drooling. It was sort of cute and sort of scary. I'm told that there is dessert as well (once I'm hungry enough again) so perhaps, if you behave yourselves, I'll tell you about that later.
