Ugh. Bad day. Really bad day. I don’t want to talk about it. Suffice it to say, a lot of my back-up files got deleted, and I didn’t have copies of them because I moved them to another computer so I could format my laptop. Then the back-up computer got formatted. And I’m not too happy about it. Anyone know if there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of recovering something from a formatted hard drive?
You know, this is weird. No matter what I do, if I post a really happy blog like last night’s, something really bad happens the very next day. I’d think I were manic, except for the fact that external things always happen the next day, it’s not just me. It’s not like I just wake up with the blues, or even the mean reds, I just attract bad luck. Like, I hate to say it, but September 10th was a fantastic day for me. Things were going well in my battle with ArsDigita, I even had to do happy dances that night cause it was so great. The battle was *so* close to being won (by me), we were so close to getting our servers, and I felt so accomplished. And then, bad stuff. Of course, this is nowhere near that scale, definitely not, just the first example that popped into my head.
Anyway. To make up for that sad stuff, let’s make you happy, so then at least we aren’t all stuck in the dumps. Make this:
1 half a cup of soy sauce
1 fourth a cup of rice vinegar (that oriental stuff)
1 and a half table spoons ginger powder
1 and a half to two tablespoons garlic powder (I put in two cause I like garlic)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
A whole lot of sirloin steak.
Combine all that, shake it up inside a tupperware container, stick it in the fridge for at least two hours, grill it, eat it, and then you’ll have a great big smile on your face. It’s so yummy you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. Then, if you decide you like that and you want to be adventurous, add 1 fourth of a cup of packed dark brown sugar. I haven’t tried that yet, but I’ve seen it in other similar recipes, and I bet it’d be really yummy. Ooo, or replace the steak with pork tenderloin.
But if you’re a vegetarian, I’m sorry. I don’t have a recipe to make you happy. Go buy Lush stuff, that helps.
I’m done now, and I’m going to bed. I’m tired.
