Numb3rs

"Are you going over to watch that show tonight?"  This is the husband.  He has discovered a newly established pattern.

Saturday he left to play soccer with the guys.  He had survived an entire week of my business meetings and lousy schedules, so he went to have fun.  I sat in a vegetative state for a while, also recuperating.  And then I got a text.  From my sister.  "Whatcha doin?"  My answer "nothing."    It may baffle mathmaticians, physicists and philosophers: this is a case where nothing+nothing= something.

We got together and watched a really bizarre 80's movie.  That may be redudant.  80's and bizarre are synonymous.  We were still wide awake, and somewhat disappointed with the movie, so we were ready to launch into something else... but it was too late for another movie.  We opted for a television program instead.  This is when we happened upon Numb3rs.  And we loved it.  Analytical.  Problem-solving.  Fun.

Monday came.  Tempation was there.  I couldn't let her watch Numb3rs alone!  So I went!  Then Tuesday I had to take some things over for the girls to get ready for girl's camp.  And while I was there... of course we had to watch again!  So, I am sure you can all see how the pattern started.

Last night, to avoid total moocher land, I made dinner.  It has no name yet.  I'll take some pointers.

I shredded zucchini and sauteed it.  While I was doing this, I soaked tvp chicken in hot water with frozen peas.  Once the zucchini was sauteed, I added the meat and peas mixture.  There were dried onions, garlic, vegetable boullion, cumin, salt and cilantro in the seasoning.  I continued cooking that over low temperature.  I added a can of cream of mushroom, and continued cooking over low.  Then I dumped it all in an oven-safe glass dish, turned the oven on to 350.  I crumbled cheese crackers over the top of it, popped it in the oven for a few minutes, pulled it out, and voila!  It was pretty good. 

So now I think my evenings involve food and Numb3rs!  It's a fun way to hang out. =)
