Food, Glorious Food

I think I've finally settled on what sort of snacky goodness I'll be making for the party this Friday. I have three things in mind, and I'm probably being overambitious, but, oh yes, it will be tasty. And it will have a certain Asian flair.

What's it going to be? Well, you'll just have to come over on Friday and find out! :D Drop me a line if you need the info.

In other food adventures, I picked up some frozen tilapia filets at the store the other day... they were on sale for cheap, and fish is a nice alternative to the usual proteins I eat. Of course, I realized thereafter that I wasn't really sure what to *do* with said tilapia, and I've never even eaten tilapia before, so I could end up taking one bite and then going into convulsions from the sheer horror of the taste.

Well, okay, so that last bit isn't likely. But yeah, I might end up hating the stuff. ;p

So! At least part of this evening will be devoted to trying out a tilapia recipe and hoping that it won't turn out all disgusting. That comes after wushu, though.

Food, part deux

Project: Non-Disgusting Tilapia was a success! I worked from this recipe, but I only made 1 filet, and opted for olive oil and grilling instead of margarine and baking. The sauce was pretty yummy. Those filets cook *fast*, though. It got done way before the veggies did, and I was super-hungry, so it was kind of torture waiting for everything to get done, sigh.

I think I'm going to have to do a truckload of prep work for the party food... enough that I should probably do some tomorrow night, so I don't have to cram it all in on Friday. Yep, I *am* being overambitious. ::laughs::

Oh yeah, I got my photos from the shoot last Saturday in the mail! (that was fast!) I put a few that I liked on the ol' Flickr account. Hey, maybe I *can* look marketable!

It does make me think about taming the crazy haircut, though. It's going to be haircut time soon, so I'm thinking about what I want to do next! I'm kind of hoping to work something out with my new stylist where I can trade some website work for an awesome cut-and-color job. (her suggestion) The holidays are lurking out ahead, though, so I'm more reluctant to do something to my hair that Mom will hate, heh. She's cranky enough about the fact that I'm keeping it shorter these days. ;p
