I got The Walking Dead volumes 5 and 6 from Amazon the other day. It’d been a while since I’d bought the issues (I think I stopped at #26), so I read vol. 4 to refresh my memory. I was pretty pleased with the storyline progression, though the stuff concerning Michonne was a little more graphic than what I care to see. Especially what she did with the spoon. Ugh. But the series is still good. I wish Kirkman would include his “characters cheat-sheet” (or whatever it’s called) in the TPBs like he does in the single issues.

I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner last night. It came out really well, though I would’ve preferred to have a little more sauce. My main reason for making it with meatballs was to use up the two pounds of hamburger I’d defrosted before it went bad. Well, really it’d only been in the fridge for three days, but I don’t trust ground meat to stay fresh for very long — three days is about my limit. Here’s a picture of the meatballs before they went in the oven and another of the final product (topped with Cojack and parmesan).

For dessert we had these Safeway Select creme brulees. They were on sale for $4.69 and come with little ceramic ramekins that you can keep afterwards. Very easy to prepare — you just defrost ‘em, sprinkle on the sugar packets, and put them under the broiler for a couple minutes. Extremely tasty — almost as good as the ones I’ve had in nice restaurants. They’re a little too rich to have alone though; the next time I get them, I think I’ll also get some fresh berries. Anyway, definitely worth the ~$2.50 per serving.
