These things aren't really about Tuesday but I am writing them on a Tuesday. Hence, "Tuesday Things."

I continue to witness the power of Billy Mays and Mighty Putty. If you mention Billy and his product in your blog, you get lots of hits from people all over the country who are trying to find details on this loud man and his amazing highly viscous miracle goo. I guess that, if they're searching for info on Mighty Putty, then these folks are "holy" and/or "broken" so, if they find what they need here, that's wonderful.

Well, the Buckeyes lost last night. I am not much for football. I suppose I could be if I wanted to be. But, if the Bucks are in the national championship, then that is the one game a year I will watch. I hated to see them lose. It was fun to watch Brandon Saine play though including a 44-yard run. Brandon is from the town in which I work.

I fixed dinner for our family last night. I don't do that much anymore though I need to be doing it more often. I used to cook a fair amount but, when Evan came along, Lisa and I's schedules changed some and I just ended up not cooking much. But, with life comes change and our schedules have changed again with Lisa's new job so I need to be fixing dinner more often. I enjoy cooking. Last night I fixed something Lisa saw on the Food Network. I enjoy experimenting with new things when I cook. Those around me may not always appreciate it but I enjoy trying new dishes and experimenting with variations on old ones. Last night, we started by frying some chopped garlic and shallots (never used them before) in olive oil, added basil, oregano, and a little red pepper, followed by a can of tomato sauce and a can of chopped tomatoes. We added some peeled raw shrimp to this and heated it up well, serving it over a bed of linguine. Our house still smells pretty Italian today (I suspect we do as well) but this was a delicious dish.

Have a great Tuesday! Look for the union label.
