So, as part of the great "fandom" portion of this totally awesome blog, I'm including some fandom of FOOD today. Why? Because food is delicious and always taunting us.... trying to get us to eat it all..... WHAT DOES IT WANT FROM US???? Hmmmm.... that went... well, somewhere. Anyway, my birthday is next month and, as an early present a couple weeks ago, my awesome fiancee sent me to a cooking class at a local Sur la Table (or, as we like to call it, surly table). Anyway, this particular one was entitled "easy dinners for the busy cook" perfect for graduate students stuck in the lab for 9+ hours in the day.

Yay I'm so awesome in my apron and hilarious shirt! If I were any cooler.... I'd be a little cool.

Soba noodles with red pepper, green onion, and red pepper. OMG SO NOM!!!!
|
 |
Pan roasted pork chop with tomato pear chutney. Not a big fan of the pears (never have been) but it was pretty awesome
|
 |
Honey-dijon glazed salmon atop sauteed spinach. By far the best thing of the night. It was amazing.
|
 |
Last, but not least, lemon basil chicken that we essentially poached in a large dish with cherry tomatoes and zucchini atop. Not bad, but it was a bit too much lemon for my taste.

So there you have it. It was a great night full of awesome food and general awesome-ness. As a side note, a few days after this I tried doing the salmon at home. Did not work nearly as well. Stupid sticky non-stick pans.... *goes off to sulk*.... Oh well. It was still pretty awesome. Take care everyone!
