yay/wtf, books, cooking
so that was a day.
yay/wtf
#2 and I had been talking about how Ossoff's yay-we-won speech at 8 a.m. seemed a bit early, but it was a good speech and we felt civically refreshed (plus utterly gobsmacked that we'd actually managed to pull off both Senate wins) and then it was afternoon and holy shit, we were watching an attempted coup.
So, yeah, in retrospect, we're glad he spoke early in the day.
books
I meant to do the Wednesday book meme but obvs that was overcome by events. Since I'm trying to be more interactive here, I'll throw out that I finished Hench, by Natalie Zina Walschots, which I really liked except for maybe the end. I didn't *dislike* the end, but I did have an issue or two with it. If you've read it, come tell me what you thought...?
And I'm listening to The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, which is a Veronica Mars novel, narrated by Kristin Bell. It's fun having Veronica in my earbuds, at least so far.
cooking
I finally gave up trying to even pretend to work and went and to figure out what to make for dinner and ended up making the sort of rice you get at Mexican restaurants to jazz up some basic chicken breast cutlets. I posted about it here on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
cookbook_challenge.
It continues the theme of making my own version of packaged food and tl;dr is that I liked the recipe & will prob make it again.
Stay safe, kids. Keep going, the only way out is through.

That sounds like a fun recipe! I really miss Mexican restaurants, honestly. I haven't found one that does takeout here and I want tacos so bad.

It was a very easy recipe and it perked up the boring chicken very nicely.

I was going to restart the Wednesday book meme this week and also forgot because I was glued to the news. :/

We'll start next week with the books, because I think we're going to have to just make things happen in 2021, at least the early parts, otherwise we're going to get flattened again.
