I bought a computer

Well, we bought a computer. A new laptop that hopefully, I can borrow to take the bar. It's more S's computer than mine, so bleh, but hopefully, I'll be able to buy myself a new battery for mine and be all excited about that.

This week's been pretty fun in terms of food, cooking, exercising, and all that stuff. Monday, I made these margarita cupcakes and brushed them with the whipped vodka because all the people drank all the tequila. The truth is that I love to use alcohol for flavoring my food (Vodka Cookbook), but not so much a fan of the straight up drinking it. I achieved one of my goals and that's that. Moving on now. I also don't think S was a big fan either since he was pretty bitter during and after. We did get to throw a party, so that was nice.

Tuesday was fajita day at our house. Smith's has some great pre-seasoned and cut fajita meats and peppers that work well  in a pinch. Also, we have so many tortillas left over, which is actually kind of great. Tuesday, for lunch, I had a weird tortilla thing recommended to me by The Spark: The 28-Day Breakthrough Plan for Losing Weight, Getting Fit, and Transforming Your Life, which involved cream cheese, raisins, and walnuts. I'm not sure it was good per se, but I think it was and if it makes me lose weight while retaining nutrients, then hey, I'm all for it.

Wednesday was my "I've been craving orange chicken for forever and I'll die if I don't have it day", so I made  a knock-off of Panda Express' Orange Chicken for two using a modified recipe from here. It tastes very little like orange chicken from Panda but is so delicious I'll try it again. It's also a little crispier than Panda's so there's that. In other news, I discovered that Panda Express actually posts their recipe here, so if you want to buy their orange sauce, it's pretty easy to make and takes less time than mine. But, this chicken was definitely good.

I'll have to post the recipe later, since I need to get ready for work. And get rid of the buzzing in my ears.
