Guacamole
4 large Hass avocados, mashed
Juice of 1 lime
1 large onion, chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 jalapenos, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (optional, since a lot of people don't like it)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
Tabasco, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Combine and chill for an hour (to let the flavors mingle or something). When storing, press plastic wrap flush with the surface to reduce oxidation and browning.

I made lentil soup last night. It was super-tasty. Food disappears a lot faster when there are three other people around. It cost me $11 to make a ton of soup, but I'll probably only get two or three meals out of it instead of six. Things to think about, I guess.

Seriously, what the hell is this? What an excellent use of your company's email list! What a wonderful way to spread hate! Kudos to you, sir!
Grrrrr.
D&D tonight. Pan-roasted a chicken for dinner on Friday. Good, but nothing new.

Last night I finally started setting up the kitchen a little bit. I unpacked my dishes, glasses, and favorite pots and pans (my awesome crepe/omelette pan, cast iron skillet and French oven, and a medium sized pot good for boiling one to two servings of pasta). I'm trying to go light on the pots and pans, because even though our kitchen is nice, we still don't have a ton of space.
Which means that for the moment, the pantry is in the garage. I filled up a shelving unit with cans and the like. If there's enough room in the kitchen once everything's in place, I'll move it indoors, but for now, well, at least it's out of boxes.
My microwave is way too big for this house. That's kind of okay, since I did get it for free. Mark's is small, but it's also old (ie. a rotary dial).
I haven't found all my favorite cookbooks yet (so many, many boxes). I'm trying to cut down on the mount of space I'll be monopolizing on the bookcases downstairs. It's hard! I unpacked a bunch of books about food/cooking last night and am debating whether to bring them in or not.
Last night Rob and I went out to collect restaurant hours for the new website. Rob runs mv-hours (server currently down because of the move), which is a big listing of all the places in downtown Mountain View that have food. Now that we've moved to Cupertino, he's started up cu-hours. There's not much there yet. We still have a lot of data to collect. We haven't found many non-chain restaurants yet, which is kind of sad.
Tomorrow, I'm going up to the city. There's a nerd convention (otherwise known as Anime Overdose) and then dinner at Trader Vic's with a bunch of friends.
Ysabel's in Wyoming. She's got two or three days left. I'm super-glad my move only consisted of fifteen miles, not across the entire damn country.

Our house is super-awesome. Thanks so much to my family for helping me move. You guys are the greatest!
The kitchen isn't set up yet, so it'll be a little longer before I start cooking again.
