Only having the crappiest day so far this year kept me from saying:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAY!!!! :)
Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year:
The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again.

Alida absolutely MUST go to the powderpuff football game tonight, and since I have to go across town and be out anyway, I'm going to the gym. With a little luck I should land in the MUSH halfway through Eureka.

Just back from Blue Man Group - floor, fifth row. Still buzzing, literally and existentially.
I've been a lot of places and seen a lot of stuff, but that's the rockin'-est thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Off-the-charts fan-freakin-tastic.
We have earned another gold stamp on our Best Parents EVER card.

Moments ago, my kitchen supervisor's voice could be heard all the way from the back of the kitchen where the walk-ins are: "For the last time, don't nobody put no jello in the FREEZER!"
- Mood:chilly - but I like it
I'm hangin' around in the MUSH avoiding American Idol and waiting for Gray's, if anyone's around. :-)
I'm hangin out in the MUSH for about the next hour if anybody feels like a yak. :)
Alida may claim that we embarass her at times, but we've never even come close to this:

Oh my Lord. Today my crazy daughter joined the "dance club". We have no idea what all this entails, I hope it's closer to what Drew and I call 'drill team' than 'shake your grooved thang'...

Crab & Mushroom Chowder
3 Tablespoons blond roux
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup minced onions
2 cups assorted wild mushrooms, sliced - Shitake, Oyster etc. (regular mushrooms worked fine for us, too)
2 Tablespoons minced shallots
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 Tablespoons minced celery
1 cup shrimp stock or fish stock
Salt & white pepper
3 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon crab boil
1 pound crab meat
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Worcesteshire sauce
In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. Saute the onions and mushrooms for 1 minute. Stir in the shallots, garlic and celery and saute 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the whole milk, cream crab boil and Cajun seasoning . Bring the liquid back to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Whisk in the roux, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until thoroughly incorporated into the soup. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the crab meat, green onions and Worcesteshire. Simmer for 6-8 minutes. Ladle into warm soup bowls or bread bowls. I'm thinking I'd serve it with a tiny dab of sweet butter on top, with crunchy bread sticks or gourmet crackers on the side.
