Sometimes I wish I had a microwave

Tonight was a stay in night and so after chris and samshrew left
(stealing their little dog away too), Randall and I decided to keep
things low-fuss. This meant we opened up the freezer and made the last
of the potstickers. I wasn't paying attention when I was cooking and
thought they were probably done - especially considering they looked
perfect. Sadly, when I bit into the first one I realized they could've
gone a few minutes longer. The meat was done, but not as well as I
would've liked it.

This is where the microwave statement comes in to play. With a
microwave I could've just put the whole bowl in and a minute later
everything would've been perfect. But since I don't have one, I had to
go about it the long way by putting everything back into the frying
pan. Sometimes I think I might cave.

Sidenote: I also ate some soba noodles, but they photographed so
grossly last time that I thought I'd spare you all this time around.

Where'd they hide the beets?

Samshrew, chris, Randall and I headed out for lunch and ended up at
cafe flore. We chose it because we needed an outside place so that
sushi dog could join us. It ended up being just okay. I had the beet
salad with chicken and all the beets were underneath. It also ended up
being too sweet.

Also, I knew there was a fire at cafe flore but I didn't realize
that meant there was a limited menu. Boo.

When are these tomatoes gonna ripen?

This morning I had a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese and no
fresh tomatoes. The tomato plant outside is loaded with tomatoes, but
they never seem to get any riper. Maybe I planted a green tomato plant.
