Soooo my dearest Macbook Air has decided to go cray cray on me, which makes it a bit difficult for me to blog on the road or really just blog in general. My keyboard types out random symbols like bitten apples and infinity signs. It’s pretty much the worst thing that a blogger can ask for. Even my ex-Apple employed DB can’t fix it… *gasp* What’s a girl to do now when her boy can’t fix her gadgets?

Shame on me, I forgot to renew my warranty on it (Apple never emailed me a reminder!) so I’m pretty SOL unless I want to shell out a couple of Benjamins to get to fixed. I’m debating what to do… should I try and get it fixed or just buy an Ipad instead? Still, that won’t be until I save up some money for it. It’s funny how electronics play such a huge part in your life without you even realizing it.

While I ponder about my dilemma, why don’t you throw some things in the crockpot and make dinner? I have another seriously easy recipe that would taste just as good with chicken. Three ingredients… that’s all you need. No complaining anymore, just do it.

I pretty much got eaten alive by a mosquito the other night. I slept with the window open during a rainy night. We don’t have any screens since we live in a pretty old building, so it was my fault for wanting to sleep with the window open. I just love sleeping to the sound of rain!

As I was blissfully sleeping, a mosquito feasted on my blood. Sorry for the visual. I woke up with… wait for it… TEN mosquito bites! I’m not even joking. Two of those bites just so happen to be on my face. Lovely! So then with me being me, I decided to google the heck out of mosquitoes.

Did you know that mosquitoes are attracted to the smell of carbon dioxide? That’s how they find us and that’s the reason why they’re always buzzing around our heads. Also, the only mosquitoes that draw blood are females! Mosquitoes normally eat nectar as a part of their diet, but the females need the protein from blood in order to lay eggs.

Now that I’ve officially grossed you out, let’s get to the meal. I’m really new at buying meat, so I’m completely lost about what cut is good for what. I usually just stick to ground beef and chicken breasts. Although this was fun to go out of my comfort zone, I think I’ll stick to my normal meats. Don’t get me wrong, this was good, but it wasn’t amazing. But then again, I’m not really a fan of pork. I guess that makes me a bad judge. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think!
