DAY 94 OF 365: NOTHING BETTER THAN ENDING THE DAY WITH GOOD FOOD AND GOOD TV

I’ve noticed since I have moved into my condo that I cook so much more. I love the openness of the kitchen, and well I just love cooking in general. So when I get the chance to cook a nice home cooked meal, I jump at the opportunity. So tonight when I got home at a decent hour, I decided to cook some grilled chicken, sautéed asparagus in a garlic lemon sauce and some roasted yellow baby potatoes. Having the chance to just sit down at my dining room table eating in peace is such a nice feeling. Enjoying what you just made, while enjoying the peace and tranquility; especially after a hectic day at the office. Nothing beats that feeling. So after dinner, I cleaned up and watched my buddy Diane who returned to Law and Order: SVU tonight in a powerful episode with Terrence Howard. Was great to see her back in the courtroom! And according to twitter, I think a lot of others had the same feeing. My favorite part about extras casting is sitting back and watching how the entire episode comes together. Its funny how sometimes I can read a script and envision something and then when I actually watch the episode, see how every department comes together to create something magical. Did you know that there are about 150 people on the SVU crew? Crazy huh.
This morning I worked out with JC and we concentrated on the legs. JC had me running up stairs, pulling weights across the floor and also pushing a weight filled sled. Needless to say, my legs were jell-o after that intense workout. As JC said, we have to keep working the legs so that I don’t have chicken legs with a nice toned body. That would look pretty ridiculous.
Also, I don’t know about anyone else, but I love a good smoothie. Especially after a nice workout or even in the morning before work. So I was surprised to find out that Crate and Barrel has an entire cookbook dedicated to many different smoothies. Well, I think I might just have to add that cookbook to my collection. You can never have too many cookbooks! Well time for me to call it a night. Till tomorrow.
