Cookies-Cookies-Cookies!

Last night, we had to go shopping for weekend food-stuffs after work, so we got home pretty late for a work night. Made vegetarian curry "meatballs" and rice for dinner - fucking fabulous.

I made homemade choccie chip cookies, modified for the "I.B.S. Diet," and I have to say, they turned out soooooo good. They turned out more like cake cookies, which G and I have decided is a good thing. Rather than being greasy and "chewy," they're a little bit fluffier and softer, too. I had worried that they'd get rubbery after having cooled down, but today they're still nice and soft and very, very chocolatey. There's very, very little saturated fat in 'em, and they didn't send me into an I.B.S. attack. I had been craving chocolate chip cookies all week, and it would not leave me, so I had to try making them...come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever really made chocolate chip cookies "from scratch," and I really enjoyed it. Basically, I modified the traditional "Nestle Tollhouse" recipe, substituting egg beaters in place of eggs, and Smart Balance Light in place of butter - oh, and I didn't put in nuts because I prefer straight chocolate chips in my cookies. I would consider this recipe modification a success, and am now quite happy to have my insatiable craving fulfilled - amazing how a little chocolate is all one needs to elevate a very shitty mindset.

Masters of Horror

After dinner and cookie baking, we "tag-team" cleaned the house so that we wouldn't have to fuck with it the rest of our anniversary weekend. When we do that, it takes all of 90 minutes to have a spotless house totally ready for relaxation and snuggles.

Once we settled in, we watched this week's Masters of Horror, which was John Carpenter's opus, "Cigarette Burns." Oh. My. Satan. This was the most fucked up Masters of Horror yet! It's now my absolute favorite, with Tobe Hooper's "Dance of the Dead" as my second favorite, and John Landis' "Deer Woman" as my third favorite. We still have Lucky McGee [May] and Takashi Miike [Audition] to go. May is one of my all-time favorite horror movies, and I love Takashi Miike, so...the final episodes still have much promise!

PF Changs

G is treating me to PF Changs tonight for our anniversary. It's pretty cold out, and it may sleet tonight, so I'm hoping that it waits until we've had our fun down at Utica Square. I really hope that mother nature decides on snow rather than sleet...the prospect of walking around Utica Square under a light evening snow quite appeals to us.

G's Birthday

I gave G his birthday gift early, and he about died. I got him The Devil's Rejects "Last Supper" poster. It is so deranged, and yes, we're hanging it in our livingroom. I never got to write it here, but The Devil's Rejects is now one of our all-time favorite movies. It's *right up there* with A Clockwork Orange on my list - and no, I'm not kidding.

Off to get all gussied up for our date night! Have a great weekend, everyone.
