Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies

musesfoolThings, and also, stuff:
= Work remains hectic but hopefully I will be able to send out my board package tomorrow and then finally write up several committees' worth of minutes, which I have not been able to do because every time I start, I get interrupted.
= I've been making chicken bacon ranch wraps for lunch this week and they are so good! I made bacon on Sunday morning, and bought the Perdue shortcuts grilled chicken, so I heat some of the chicken and 2 strips of bacon up in a frying pan and then lay a couple of slices of mozzarella on top to melt. In the center of a whole wheat wrap, I add some arugula (though you could use whatever lettuce or spinach you prefer), and then lay the warmed up meat and cheese on top of it, add a few squirts of ranch dressing, and roll it up. Delicious and filling!
= I stumbled upon a recipe for whipped lemonade that sounded good in theory but then it had both sugar and sweetened condensed milk in it and that sounds way too sweet to me. I get why the sugar is there - you rub the zest into it to really capture the lemon flavor, in addition to using juice, but just thinking about adding sugar to sweetened condensed milk makes my teeth hurt. I wonder if subbing whipping cream for the condensed milk would work? Or would it curdle from the lemon? Inquiring minds want to know. (I do have a recipe for lemon buttermilk sherbet somewhere, and of course, lemon sour cream ice cream is one of my faves to make, so I can kind of get there in other ways. Hmm...)
= I got interrupted by work and now it's 3 hours later and I can't remember what else I was going to say but in the meantime, I did get a laugh out of the fact that VGK and Torts have parted ways.
