wiener wednesday

it's baseball season, y'all. 

the nationals are doing AWESOME -- 

regular season record: 43-30*

nl east standing: 1*

win percentage: 0.589*

*as of this post

that's right. 

number 1. 

awesome. 

too bad they are on the east coast. 

but we do live in a small(ish) town

which means

minor league baseball.

the tucson padres.

we went to see a game last night.

it was wiener wednesday.

this may be my new favorite day of the week.

$1 hot dogs.

all night.

we bought a lot of hot dogs.

and then we watched some baseball.

it was a good night.

phase one is complete.

everyone has tattoos. 

well, it seems like that at least. 

obviously i do.

(you can check out my other one here)

but rcg does not. 

or rather, 

he didn't.

so last saturday

we headed down to the local tattoo place

and he got one. 

ps. there are A LOT of tattoo places in tucson.

i'm pretty sure i can name 5-7 that i can walk to.

and it's pretty cool.

harrison is hard at work.

check out his portfolio here.

but it's not done yet. 

give it a month; 

it is going to look even cooler.

2012 -- week 25 -- i am a phoenix & rcg lives in tucson with a new tattoo

chicken pot pie cupcakes

my name is rcg, i am pro chicken pot pie.  i am also cupcake-friendly.  hi, how are you?

so when vmb and i found a recipe for pot pie à la cupcake, what else could we do but loosely follow the recipe and cook us up a batch?

it didnt take too long or cost too much; and--as you can clearly see--they were tasty.

but here at the shark, laurel-resting gets old, especially when theres plenty of room in our stomachs.  so heres what we're planning for round ii--

• the original recipe relies on pillsbury Grands! to feed litters of children.  however, the problem with Grands! is that they expand a lot when baked, leading to over-breading and under-chickening.  this the shark will not stand.  we love our pot pie fillings too much not to.  so first on our proverbial/literal plate is a recipe for a flakier and more delicate crust.  maybe some cheddar/thyme. or buttermilk.
• thinner and more seasoned veggie chunks. also, maybe some peppers and onions #toobold?
• CHEESE.  somewhere, somehow--whether its mixed in with the chicken filling, grated on top, and/or infused with the biscuit mix--there will be more CHEESE.
• i will not fear undercooking the chicken or overcooking the vegetables. i did when doing this last batch; and while tasty (see above), we lost out on a nice stewy filling.

get excited. i chicken pot cupcake, therefore i am. and i am excited.
