I got this new kind of yogurt over the weekend:
They didn’t have the kind I usually get, which is just plain old nonfat yogurt. I was expecting something exciting, what with the bold “thick and creamy” claim, but it’s actually much thinner than the regular kind and really, really sour. I had to add raisins and extra honey:
For dinner I made this recipe from Food & Wine after seeing Jenny make a few of their recipes from this issue. I used mahi mahi instead of swordfish and cut the dressing by 1/3. I would have cut it more but I wanted some extra to go on the couscous and I used it for the asparagus, too:
Doesn’t it look kind of fancy? Herbs will do that for you. One time I made polenta with rosemary and I got a little over-excited with the greenery and Chris hasn’t eaten rosemary since. It was the first time I’d ever used rosemary, and let me tell you – that shit is stronger than it looks.
Now I’m eating some chocolate chips while I attempt to convince myself that I’m not too old to watch the new 90210 series.
lol about 90210… i heard on the radio that new kids on the block came out w/ a cd today too… return of the 90’s!
i’m real curious about that 90210, but honestly i think there are enough teenage high school dramas at the moment…haha. that dinner most certainly does look fancy!
ummmm i am totally watching it right now and i barely watch tv, but i watched the hills on dvr and then i just wanted a little more drama.. haha i hope you’re watching it too so i don’t feel old alone!
I’m watching 90210 right now, and I’m bored out of my mind – so disappointing!!!
Mmmmm that looks AWESOME!
I like the raisins on yogurt idea.
And I love that you said shit. I’m just dying to drop a few cuss words on the blog!
No way, Arielle!! I swear you always have the EXACT opposite experiences with yogurts than I do!! I found that brand to be WAY creamier and thicker than the reg. plain yogurts…and as you know…I’m a huge Chobani fan. Ugh! so sorry you haven’t cared for those!!
Your dinner looks amazing though, I must say.
Have a great evening, and happy Wednesday!
I watched 90210 too. What I want to know is how does a principal afford an estate like that!?
I’m sad I’m not watching 90210… so outta the loop
Wear your 90210 curiosity proudly! At least this has a nostalgic factor – unlike Gossip Girl
I’m glad I saw your review of that yogurt – I had been thinking about trying it and now I don’t have to!
Your dinner looks delish even though I don’t eat fish anymore. For as easy as it is to prepare, I don’t use couscous nearly enough.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that cusses on their blog – We gotta be real
hahaha…i was never into the original 90210…so i’m not gonna watch the new one..that and it looks like just another version of the OC, which I HATED because really, the OC is NOTHING like that…i LIVED there for 22+ years! haha!
love the chocolate chips btw…:)
I laughed out loud at the rosemary part and you like A LOT of raisins on your yogurt!
My mom fed me way to many of those as a kid and I can finally eat them again, in small quantities…
I dont know how you make your asparagus but if you mix it with little EVOO salt and pepper and bake it for 30 min and briol for the last 2 min it taste like french fries!
Oh NO!!!
Not more honey!!
Best quote from the new 90210:
“That’s what blogs are supposed to do – cause trouble.”
Lindz –
Yep, they’re back!
Jenngirl –
It kind of sucked. I think I’m getting old.
Rhodey –
Now the Hills I can get into.
VG –
I agree.
Andy –
Thank you.
Erin –
I think I’ve probably cussed on here before. I cuss a lot in real life so I’d be surprised if I haven’t. I say go for it.
GC –
Really?? I will give it another shot, because I was wrong about the Chobani. Maybe I got a bad container? It’s really thin.
Essentially Me –
Good question.
Danielle –
You didn’t miss anything!
Andrea –
I actually don’t watch Gossip Girl. I bet I would like it, but I don’t need another show like that in my life I don’t think. You and Erin love the cussing!
Melissa –
Oh I was SO into the original. I was obsessed. And when I first moved here and I didn’t have a job for like a month they played the reruns on soapnet from like 4 – 6 every day and I watched, every day. Pathetic.
Kati –
You know, I used to hate raisins and now I love them.
Christie –
Hmm. I’m intrigued. Wouldn’t it burn though? I only cook it for 10 minutes or so, any longer and it gets a gross color (i.e. overcooked). I might try it though.
Crissy –
Not a honey fan?
Chris –
True.
