    Damnit, I really need to just sit down, bite the bullet, and watch Frozen. Unmarked spoilers are starting to show up around here. :(

    cooked a couple awesome things yesterday

    habanero bbq sauce:

    1 apple
    1 medium onion
    8 garlic cloves
    1 cup cider vinegar
    4 oz tomato paste
    3 tbsp dijon mustard
    2 habanero peppers
    salt + pepper
    (optional) brown sugar to taste

    chop the apple and onion. sautee in a little oil. when a little browned, throw everything into a blender and zip until smooth. then boil for a while. blend more if needed. the sauce will be a little thick - if you can't stand that then strain off the solids. salt + pepper to taste. you can add a little dry thyme during cooking if you roll that way.

    this is a very spicy bbq sauce so use sparingly. it is, however, delicious and healthy

    chicken breast that doesn't suck

    make a brine out of 2 cups water, 2 tbsp salt 2tbsp brown sugar. soak chicken in it overnight.

    the next day take chicken out, rinse, pat dry and put on a wire rack in a 150 degree oven for about an hour

    then heat up a pan super-hot. throw a little high-heat oil and the chicken in the pan. you are going for a hard sear on the outside - this will give a grilled flavor that is difficult to otherwise capture on an indoor cooktop. cook until juices run clear

    bari-style runner beans

    1 lb dry runner beans or dry fava beans
    1 lb ham
    8 cloves garlic
    1 can diced tomatoes
    2 oz olive oil
    1 tsp sage
    1/2 tsp rosemary
    3 oz sherry
    1 tbsp red wine vinegar
    salt + pepper

    soak the beans overnight. next day, drain them and boil them in a brine for about an hour - until they are soft.

    next day, chop the ham into 1/4 inch cubes or so. in a large pan, sautee the ham in the olive oil until a little browned. chop the garlic and add. cook a couple minutes. add the can of tomatoes, the sage and the rosemary. cook until the sauce reduces and the tomatoes start to break down, then add the wine and vinegar. salt + pepper to tastes. drain the beans and add them, sautéing for a few minutes

    grate a little parmesan or romano over the beans when you serve.

    I would, but..

    I have hangups over watching movies or TV shows. Mostly it stems from being in the same room as my brother, who doesn't seem to give a damn about anyone else.

    I'm sure I'd find another excuse if I was out on my own.


    ... god damn does that sound awful to type out/say outloud / admit to.

    I had just a quick bowl of ramen for breakfast.

    Went to a 90 minute workout.

    Fucking STARVING.

    And this bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeño is very possibly the most delicious thing in the world.

    <3 runner beans. House I stay at in NZ has a garden that's loaded with scarlet runner beans. Those things are so delicious.

    when fresh, the pods are generally julienned and then sautéed, which sounds awesome but i've never had.

    when dried they're a lot closer to favas or, like, christmas limas. a little husky and earthy, which is why i went for kind of a heavy preparation. i kind of invented it as being something like the flavors of bari-style pasta e fagioli, only without the pasta and not a soup.

    anyways sage + garlic + olive oil + beans are a super-winning combo.

    This is what I'd do.

    The problem is the lay out of my room. Basically, my brother is playing DOTA behind me, where he can see my screens but I can't see him. Every now and then he'll randomly comment on something I'm watching. It's bad enough that he's arranged things so he looks in my direction when I'm trying to sleep.

    Basically, everything about my current living arrangement is designed to flare my anxiety, and my brother yelling obscenities and racist jokes while playing games doesn't help.


    Tangently related, I hate doing budgets.. hopefully 1/3 of my paycheck towards rent should work out. Stupid student loans.
