Sneaking a post in during lunch time

Since [livejournal.com profile] satyr_mi has started working here at Borders, I've been spending my entire lunch hour in the cafeteria with him and [livejournal.com profile] rubicontiger. Today he and I decided to head back to our desks and read (or browse) after eating instead of sitting there trying to strain to read the closed captioning on CNN Headline News. ([livejournal.com profile] rubicontiger had to leave early today)

Apparently, I make really good gravy. It's completely faked (make a roux, add chicken broth, salt n pepper, and seasonings, stir) but it's tasty at least. We've had mashed potatoes and gravy twice in the past two weeks, and I think if we weren't out of potatoes we'd be doing it again tonight. I suppose I could do rice and it might work with the gravy. Actually, I think I just decided dinner. Not rice-n-gravy, but chicken and rice somewhat stew style. Gotta use up the veggies somehow.

Employee Appreciation is just around the corner. Looking forward to getting my Christmas shopping done then. I'll actually be able to do Christmas shopping this year, unlike last year. Heh.

Spent $60 yesterday at the vet for cat food. x_x Should last a month, at least, but still. That's a lot of money for cat food! The kitties like it, though, and Daniel hasn't had any more problems, so I'm not complaining too much.

Well, I'm gonna get back to that browsing thing for the rest of my lunch.

If it makes you feel better, that is the definition of gravy, not faked gravy.

But, see, real gravy would be drippings from a real bird. Not bouillion cubes. heh
