Seasoned Wild Turbot

Nancy, my roommate, had taco night last night! It was great, with her ground beef being awesomely seasoned and homemade guacamole. Trust me, that guacamole blew us out of the water. If we were fish, that is. Amity (our former roommate at our previous place) came over and pretty much died when she had it.

So tonight, I decided it's my turn to do something, since I am home all day. I pan-fried a Trader Joe's seasoned wild turbot filet. It was actually very good, except that it got cold really fast. I also had a salad waiting when Nance got home with a mix of romaine and other European lettuces, clementines, apple slices, raisins, baby tomatoes, and to top it all of, macadamia nuts! Dressed with Italian vinaigrette, it made a really good mix with the fish. I did, however, forget to make rice. Udon makes a good substitute.

For dessert, I'm enjoying a couple episodes of good telly. Here's the most fantastic thing I heard:
"Bras are like a boobie zoo." - Best line ever, from How I Met Your Mother (Season 2).

Destination here and now

Hello, first post, here I am.

Well, to share the inspiration for this blog's title:

Cardboard Castles by Diana Degarmo

She was a rainbow once
So colorful but that was once
Now that's impossible to see, to see
With a voice subliminal it's the only sign she's beautiful
Here's all that's left of her dignity
She goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a Girl in New York City
Skylines no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere
She grew up in California
Big dreams, they tend to own you there...
Now she's building Cardboard Castles in the air...

So here I am, trying to make a somewhat meaningful first post, but who knows if it's working? In any case, my plans for this blog aren't particularly complicated. Random thoughts, maybe some good stories, book and movie reviews, new cooking accomplishments, and really, just motley mutterings.

And off we go!
