dinner tonight

I have always struggled with ideas for dinner. I frequently wait until the very last minute or I spend all day looking at recipes to find something that I have the ingredients for.
BUT! Tonight I will be prepared!
Have you all discovered iGoogle yet? It is kind of neat way to personalize your google homepage. You can choose a theme and it has little mascot characters at the top that do different activities throughout the day. I have a frog and a lady bug who are playing croquet right now. Sometimes they dress up in karate pants and kick through boards. I have Japanese vocabulary and local weather.
The "How to" of the day section is what caught my eye today. One of my favorite Japanese dishes is easily made and I happen to have all the ingredients (except for the sake and the pickled ginger bits, which I can do without).

Katsu Curry (breaded and fried pork cutlets and curry)


Thanks wikiHow!

april fool's day after blues

This may be a silly thing to admit, but I was disappointed that I didn't get one single joke played on me yesterday. Not even a "What's-that-on-your-shirt?"-flick-the-nose kind of joke. I thought for sure my I-LIVE-to-play-practical-jokes husband would have thought of something. I even waited until the very last minute of the day after all the lights were turned off and the covers pulled up....nothing.

I played my own little jokes, though. I food colored the milk green. I made meatloaf cake, frosted with mashed potatoes and wrote "Happy April Fools" in barbecue sauce. I even played a trick on my husband that he hasn't discovered yet, hee hee.



I supposed you could say that Jeopardy played a trick on me. I swear that I saw a mustache on Alex Trebek one minute and then the next camera shot of him.....there was no mustache!! I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Tell me about jokes you played and jokes that were played on you.
