Another boring day on duty. I won't be able to go to Pasadena to watch the rose parade but at least I'll be able to catch it on TV tomorrow. As well as drink some beer and eat munchies. I feel sorry for the next duty section, they have to be here the day after. I'm sure not very many of them will be in any mood to work.

I made beef stock last night. first time at it, and I've come to the conclusion that it sure takes a damn long time. cooking it at pressure in a pressure cooker was about 1 hour but all the prep and just brining the damn soup to boil took about as long as it does to make beer. I can't wait to use it though on maybe some rice dishes or just as soup I won't know till the feeling hits sometime it's great to live alone. I also have rib eye roast aging for Saturday, or Friday if I can't wait. All I need is a probe thermometer, and an electric knife, both of which i could probably find at Bed Bath and beyond. If not there is always Brookstones.
