Even if they're purple, they still taste like potatoes. I mean, yeah, they're good - I roasted potatoes w/chicken, which is a fantastic flavor combo in my book, but the fancy purple potatoes I got from Trader Joe's still just taste like... potatoes.
I need to get some jicama. Emeril made a jicama cole slaw last night & the thought of crunchy, slightly sweet jicama really sounded goooood. He also made this huge vat of sausages, apples, sauer kraut & fresh cabbage braised in beer & apple cider. That is some fall-time comfort food right there. It's that time of year when all I want to do is cook & eat, which means I really should go to the gym instead. I haven't been in a month & a half because I have a gnarly patch of eczema on my leg & I don't want people to think I have ringworm or something. It's too big to cover w/a band-aid & I can't work out wearing pants. Rob's dermatologist gave me some steroidal cream for it & it has been slowly going away, also due in part to less stress in my non-auditing work life.
Been working dayshift & it has made such a huge difference in dealing w/guests. Fewer ornery drunks, fewer people who've spent all night at an airport w/delayed flights, half the day is check-out - and we have non-smoking rooms on high floors with one king bed & a view. I had a woman apologize to me the other day because she came to my window cranky & I was nothing but nice to her. She wasn't even talking to me, she was just standing there giving her husband grouchy looks, but before they left the window she told me, "I'm sorry I was such a butt the whole time. You've been so nice and I feel bad for being so grumpy." I was like, "Oh, no, you've been great. You can get out there & really terrorize the rest of the casino now." Her husband told me not to give her permission or they'd be escorted off the property by security. I did pretty much nothing all day at work today except deal w/one disgruntled gambler who felt our point conversion was unfair. That & run around checking express check-out boxes.
I have way too much reading this semester, it's driving me nuts, but I got to get it done. Phlargh!!!
