Steamed...

Just got an e-mail about a $59.00 annual fee on a credit card that I haven't used in over two years. I don't even have a card and I was under the impression the account was closed. It was my Thrashers card that expired back in 2010. It was never replaced because the company quit making Thrashers cards. Somehow I now am still paying for a team that doesn't exist. Ugh. Take care.

Quesadilla Wednesday: Captain D'illa

When I heard that the double dozen was back at the D's, I knew exactly what was going to be featured on my next quesadilla.

I went to work in the quesadilla lab by setting up two tortillas and taking in the bold aromas of the sea from the captain.

Staying true to my school, I made an Auburn logo out of french fries after laying down a base layer of coleslaw. DISCLAIMER : NEVER LAY DOWN A BASE LAYER OF COLESLAW. NEVER HEAT COLESLAW. EVER.

I went with a hush puppy right in the center of the logo because it just felt like a good place for a hush puppy to go.

The shrimp were place around the perimeter of the tortilla and I also placed them anywhere there was room.

This quesadilla cooked surprisingly evenly. The coleslaw runoff made it hard to scoop out, even with two spatulas.

I sliced the quesadilla and served it with malt vinegar. Everything at Captain D's should be served with malt vinegar. In retrospect, I should have left off the cole slaw and used it for a dipping sauce or garnish. This quesadilla provided me with a superb surf n' turf dinner. Next week may be the final quesadilla post, so get your suggestions in now. Take care.

Summer school is happening...

I am done with 8 am classes forever. This is a major accomplishment. Yes, I have 8 am finals, but 8 am classroom learning is now over for me! Only one class remains this semester and it is tomorrow at 9:30.


Classes went well today and I only worked for two hours so that was easy. I spent another hour at the gym and a significant amount of time watching hockey at Momma Goldberg's. Tomorrow I have to go to Columbus to the eye doctor and to the arena to part ways with Boomer for the last time. After that, I'll be headed back to Auburn for my office banquet. It's hard to believe I will only be working 6 more hours of recruiting here before heading on to the next step.

I know a lot of people think I'm leaving school and not finishing my degree, so let me clear that up. I have 9 hours of classes left and I signed on for my next 3 today. I'll be spending 2k on a marketing class to take online this summer to get me within 2 classes of my masters. I may actually finish sooner than if I had come back to Auburn next year...

Tomorrow morning I have my final career development meeting. I should probably get some rest for that... Hopefully, it gives me the last bit of motivation I need to conquer the job search. Take care.
