My Weekend Begins on Monday

   Today Gabi (samedisorder) came over and we spiked my hair with Elmer's glue.
   What kind of a name is "Elmer," really?

   Otherwise I just took it easy today, and did my best not to leave my apartment for any period of time (no class today). The weather was beautiful though; all grey and damp.


   So I really like the corn chowder in the Coffee House. Its one of my favourite things -- once I've removed the tomatoes that is.
   Kristy and I have a recipe book my mother put together and looking through it we found "[Uncle] Ben's Corn Chowder," with the note "(Kris really likes this)" and I was like "oh yea! thats excellent. I'd forgotten about it." So we set about making it and indeed it was good.
   Eating dinner with Ben & Bev on Easter, I mentioned the corn chowder, to which Ben responded "oh yea.. I think I came up with that because I liked the corn chowder at the coffee house so much so I decided to try to make my own." Its all a giant circle you see.

   Incidentally, since the only chiles we could find in the grocery store were extremely mild, I had the bright idea of using jalepenos instead of mild green chiles. The resulting batch of corn chowder is MAD HOT.
   But I still love it. If you think you're hard core you should come over here and brave the killer corn chowder before I finish it (ie tomorrow evening).


   I thought I had more to say but as usual I seem to have forgotten whatever it was by this late hour that I'm writing this. Psha on that.
   I spent most of my evening reading about Russian peasant rebellions in the 17th century. This resulted in my discovery of the word jacquerie among other things.
