aeeeeee! movies spanish, etc…
finally got to see howls moving castle. cool
placed another cache.
borrowed several movies from the library along with some netflix the past couple weeks.
jericho, mirrormask (neil gaiman, yeah!), sideways…can’t think what else.
groovin on making foccaccia bread, making more on the morrow.
it was like a teaspoon sugar in the yeast in some nice warm water. then i added a couple tablespoons oil, not quite 3 cups flour, and the seasonings (basil, oregano, salt, pepper flakes- every little bit i was trying to empty jars of, so i could buy some fresh) . let it rise. then squished it into a rectangle, made it flat, poked dents in it, sprinkled some salt and parmesan, baked on 425 for about 20 minutes.
made some chicken in white sauce (a la king, without veggies) to go with the bread for dinner…slobber. it was so good, i had it the next day at work for lunch…cold.
the next day when i got home from work i decide at 10 pm to make some more bread, the sweet buns. co-workers want to try the focca bread next time i make it, and many got to try a bit of the sweet bread, they loved it.i try to get into the spanish more and more. i mostly answer just short short in spanish to questions. but also i listen to my co-workers when they don’t think i can understand them (in spanish) and give them an answer (half the time in english and half the time very short spanish). some co-workers like it when i say que? i guess it’s a you have to be there thing. it’s the way i say it…just tickles them to death. people like it when you effectively try to learn the language, it seems to show love and respect down here.
so don’t be a cholo.working butt off.
think i’ve decided to try and work as many nights as i can. it gives me
time to stay up late when i get home, and not use an alarm the next day
to get up = more real sleep.

It’s the South Park “Queeee?”
I liked Mirrormask, but then, I lurve Gaiman.
I need more spanish, it’s something we are looking in to with the kids anyways, but It would be nice to talk to my neighbors without having to have their kids be interpreters .
i liked bread.. i miss bread, the smell of bread baking, the feel of flour in my hands. the whole thing.
