Weekend Evaluation - At least the Bills weren't the only thing that got smoked this Sunday.

This weekend the Buffalo Bills reminded me of how I started trying to cook more intricate foods.  When I first moved to New York, I used to go watch Bills games at a bar, or a friends house, but as the years of unwatchable, losing football dragged on, I started questioning why I was spending Sunday afternoons going out of my way to pay attention.

I finally decided I would just listen to games while I worked on some other projects; that turned into making dinner more and more labor intensive. This week the game was on TV here - but true to form, the Bills never showed up, so by the third quarter I was doing something else.

On a side note- why are Buffalo fans so outraged by this year's team - did they do anything to make you think they'd be any better than the past 10 years?

Went to the smoker two weeks in a row, it just worked out that way. 

Weekend Evaluation: I'd Already Rather Be Bow Hunting

I've been working on prepping a lot of things for the freezer - this weekend was more sausages.  As is typical, I totally got depressed about all of the projects on Sunday night, and went into my typical bullshit routine of  'I'll never be good at anything if I can't do it that often...why do I spend 50 hours a week at work when I could be doing something I care about' - like I'm the only person to ever think that they don't care about their job.  I made my office-working bed, now I have to lie in it.  Besides everybody knows food service workers don't get paid anything.

At least the CSA is starting to pick up again in volume - and the farm gave some explanation about what happened this summer.  I guess they lost zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, lettuce, and green bean crops to disease and drought.  Last year the rain ruined everything, now it was drought.
