Well, I decided to use a mixture of recipes and freestyle with my meal tonight. I’m going with an Italian theme, and I’ll be making a white wine cream sauce, cheese puffs, rolls, zucchini and tomato salad, and chicken.

I’m hoping it will be a pretty good meal, but I’m a little worried about the idea of going it on my own for most of the meal. Hopefully Molly will enjoy it. She, by the way, gets to bring the dessert, and that’s going to be a surprise for me. I can’t wait!

Only if he gave out free

Only if he gave out free samples – cookies are best eaten when they’re free.

Paul always makes great

Paul always makes great food. I love his chicken and turkey soups, especially.

I might be looking for a new house soon. That'd be a great blog. Do you think they'd cover those expenses?

Other ways to take maximum advantage of newspapers that pay reimbursements:

- a European travel blog

- stories about war (I hear that insurance for trips to Qatar, Israel, Afghanistan, and/or Iraq comes at astounding prices.)

- a blog about going back to school at a high-priced university

Hmmmm ... Southwest Newspapers, beware. Your employees are conspiring to use your money for their personal enjoyment. Not that you won't get something out of the deal, though.

Actually, I was thinking I would start a "Wedding Planning" blog instead. That could save my poor parents some serious moola.

You know, that’s the

You know, that’s the question I get asked most often. Maybe if I bought a hot plate and brought it into work to cook while at work, then it might be considered a work expense.

That'd be a good scam for a

That'd be a good scam for a reporter to pull, but no, he will not be eating on the JI for more than a month. Were you going to try this -- spending all of the company's money on food -- at that darling little newspaper in Chaska?

Hey Brandon - is the JI

Miss Mollee — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 15:42:16 -0500

Hey Brandon - is the JI covering the expenses for all of your kitchen experimentations or just for a fire extinguisher in case the worst should happen?

It certainly was a lot of

It certainly was a lot of food to ingest, that’s for sure. The weird thing is, though, that I seemed to have less leftover food after five recipes than I usually do after two or three recipes. I think that’s because Molly and I made the recipes slowly over the course of the night, and they were smaller servings.

Delicious food, though. I really liked the jerk chicken, and the grilled pound cake was pretty good, too. I’m going to enjoy some BLT dip when I get home tonight while I watch the Packers take down the Broncos.

Are you able to walk

Are you able to walk today?

Sounds like a heck of a meal.

Well, the fettuccini alfredo

Brandon — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:05:20 -0500

Well, the fettuccini alfredo tasted pretty good. It was my first time cooking any fettuccini noodles, so that was fun. Now I get to sit back for a night (I’ve got a Bible study and no time to cook tonight), and think about what I want to make for dinner tomorrow.

I just really love Peanut

I just really love Peanut butter and especially Bacon. Bacon goes well with everything. If you asked me the things I love most in life I would say bacon, my wife and kids and fishing.

Probably in that order too. Shhh.... don't tell my wife that!

One of those things that

One of those things that happened by accident and then you fell in love with it? Like when a friend of mine ran out of milk and put grape juice on her cereal? Breakfast was never the same again.

Ooh. Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about my lunch until just now. Leftover booya today.

I highly recommend bacon on peanut butter toast. De-licious!
