racks & cruises

on valentine's day, chris and i opted to stay in, and i cooked us dinner. i decided to try my hand at rack of lamb (this recipe, incidentally, which i HIGHLY recommend. make the salad, too!). i had told my coworkers about it the night before, so when i came in on tuesday, my buddy asked how it went.

coworker: say, how'd the lamb turn out?
me: great, actually! it was easier than i thought it would be!
coworker: i do love that mint sauce stuff...
me: oh, actually, this recipe used a spice rub. so like cumin, coffee, and cocoa rubbed into the lamb--
coworker: rubbed into what?
me: ...into the lamb--
coworker, with MEANING: rubbed into... what?
me: ...
me: ...oh. into the rack. i rubbed the rack.
coworker: *triumphant grin*
me, thoughtfully: i think chris really liked my rubbed rack.

hey! remember how we went on that cruise? yeah, i hardly do either! it was GREAT. so insanely relaxing, and experiencing warm sun after this frigid, gray winter we've been having was outstanding. all relaxation gained from the vacation was wiped out fairly instantaneously after returning to work, but dude. cruise itself? totally money.
