I'm balanced

We went out yesterday to try to find dishes. Ours are chipped and old, so we went to elder beerman's, which was supposed to have Denby dishes, according to the denby website, but the help in the dish section was unbelievably lazy, and we didn't see it ourselves, so we gave up with denby.

Etc etc, rambling about dishes, et al.

We never actually got new dishes. But we're still hoping.

We got home, and my dad took me out to Marsh (yes, yes, ha ha, stupid hoosier) and we bought a bunch of foodstuffs. The way marsh is built, you can only see the outside from the checkout and the first few aisles. We were on the other side of the store from the windows most of the time. We arrived at the checkout, and it turns out it was pouring down rain. It had been nice when we went in. It had been 20 or 30 minutes. Stupid weather.

Anyway, we went home, and I attempted to make oven-fried chicken monterey. Well, I screwed up on the second ingredient, but it got fixed. I was going to make it, but it rapidly became evident that an ameteur cook like me was not going to be able to manage biscuits, potatoes, broccoli, cheese sauce (which wanted to explode) and chicken all at once, so the mother eventually gave up what she was doing and assisted me. But it all came out pretty good (minus the potatoes, they were about 5 minutes overdone and far too soft), and all hot at the same time, and considering that I have never actually made a real meal, I feel successful.

And now it's today. I suppose I've caught up on my sleep, cause I involuntarily woke up at 7.30 and couldn't go back to sleep. So I went outside and took pictures of the fog.
