Goodass crap. As a refined little apertif, I got a giant can of Budweiser Chelada style beer. Purely out of morbid curiosity. It is beer (sort of, it is Budweiser after all) with Clamato, lime and salt. It was kind of weird, as you might expect from a beverage built of light beer, tomatoes and mollusks. We dumped it out and drank some Ommegang Three Philosophers instead.On to a different subject. Lindz and I began the kitchen project. We replaced two base cabinets on Saturday (my back is still sore). Behind one cabinet was evidence of how attractive the kitchen must have been in 1981:
And here's me leveling one of the new beauties. It's actually made of wood, rather than sawdust!
And the payoff. this drawer is nearly three feet wide, and it comes all the way out. We're going to need some partitions in there. It's so big, you could call it zoning. Note the attractive masking tape flag serving as a drawer pull until the new ones arrive.
Lindz and I had a good time demolishing the flimsy old cabinets. No complaints, really - they served for two and a half decades, but their era is at an end.

Sweet. We're all drawer-pulling for you.
I had never heard of Budweiser Chelada, and now I know all I need to know about it.
And you left us hanging with no information on the Mexican Lasagna.
The lasagna was entirely of Bryan's design. It is built on corn tortillas instead of pasta, and the main body of it is a combination of ground turkey, corn, black beans and Trader Joe's Double Roasted Salsa. The binder is nonfat cottage cheese pureed with cilantro and egg whites. Shredded Monterey Jack provides the brown, bubbly goodness on top.
While camping this summer somebody gave me a Miller Chill or whatever the heck their version of a Mexican beer is and it tasted like crap. Dos Equis
(sp?), Carta Blanca, or another Vienna Lager would match up well with a dish like this.
The cabinets look good and I look forward to a trip down there to see the renovations.

Most impressive. And I like the masking tape drawer pull. Never thought of that in the basement.
Drawers with zones INSIDE them...
*sighs with bliss*
The old cabinets are flimsy because of Hurricane Katrina. Has the government paid you for the new cabinets yet?
I haven't had lunch yet. Can I nab some of the lasagna, please?
No, the government hasn't given us our cabinet stipend yet. There are 75 tractor-trailers full of brand new cabinets that have been parked across the street for two years, but no one's allowed to touch them.
