Girls' (and Boy's) Night In

[captainsblog]

With some additions from Eleanor, the Asian Orange Chicken went off fine for dinner tonight. I do need to work on portion sizes, though: the amount of flour threatened to make these chicken breasts almost as pasty and white as my own, but I thinned the cornstarch at the end of the recipe and it came out more-or-less okay.

Then the show to go with the dinner: A Bit of Fry and Laurie, disk one, which I'd actually ordered from Netflix weeks ago (along with Peter's Friends, another memorable Fry/Laurie effort) but managed to drop in with the recyclable pop bottles until Eleanor found them in the garage the other night. Wonderful stuff, and as timeless as the Pythons/Beyond the Fringes from a decade or so earlier. Some of the timelessness, unfortunately, I could do without:

Watch on YouTube

When I turned the DVD player off, the cable came back on, showing the current offering on the USA Network that the kid must've had on this afternoon.

House, what else?

If only everyone knew what ELSE Hugh Laurie could do....

I'm having a bit of a Fry and Laurie-a-thon right now, heh. Rewatching Jeeves and Wooster, watched Blackadder for the first time (I know, I am late to the party), and waiting for my Bit of Fry and Laurie dvds to come in from Amazon; I've seen most of the first series, but never the whole thing, so yay for that. I really love those two.

I've only seen bits of Fry and Laurie (erm...the show, I mean, not...oh, leave me alone). I keep meaning to see them, but... *sigh* They're the next big UK comedy team to start watching, I think.
