Emily Cooks: Spicy Mint Beef
From Giada de Laurentiis’ Weeknights with Giada
This is really good, and fast: the only thing I would note is to do the prep work (slicing, etc.) before you start the heat!
Variation: I omitted the basil since I didn’t have any, and used teriyaki sauce because I was (inexplicably!) out of soy. It does make it a bit saltier, but I found it to be within my range of tolerance.

Feast of St. Pope Pius V, OP
Outside my window…sunny and warm—in the low 80s—with patchy clouds coming in. The weather forecast has been predicted rain all day, so we’ll see if it’s right.

Weekend Rewind (sort of)
Yeah, I know the weekend’s not over, but I’ve been neglecting you guys over here. (Sorry bout that…) So here’s the deal…. :)
FRIDAY: Not much to say about Friday. Work, doc appt., then rehearsal. We ran the entire show, and I think I’ve finally cracked this character….or, at least, come up with a way in that will work for the run. There’s always...

Seven Quick Takes Friday
OK, so to start off, in honor of Jen (who hosts this thing!), she retweeted one of my most popular posts from the old Bucket—If I Never Knew You. Thanks, Jen! I sort of updated that post here. I hope you enjoy. If you have any comments/feedback, I’d appreciate it!
This is sort of 1a, but yeah, I’m on twitter. I’m @capchoirgirl. My twitter productivity varies widely! And...

Shameless plug
OK, well, sort of. :)
I have a blog that’s sort of more of a scrapbook, which you can see here.
It’s new. And it’s all about meeting a life goal and doing fun things in that year.
I’ll still be blogging here, of course, but this blog is sort of special to me.
So I’d like followers.
Please.
:)

Say what?
Director: Don't furrow your brow.
Me: What? (I furrow)
Director: That. Don't do that. You have this angelic face that just annoys the crap out of everyone.
Me: (silence, confusion)
Director: They just want to slap you!
Me: Um...OK?
Director: That's working really well here.
Me: Um...OK? My self-esteem is sort of taking a hit here.
