I have a bit of a pain in the ear. It hurts when I yawn or burp. Strangely, I wasn’t a very ear-infectiony child, but I’ve grown rather susceptible to them in my adulthood. I hope it goes away without requiring antibiotics. I’ll take some decongestants and hope for the best.

In other news, the chicken with curried apple stuffing was a big hit last night. It turned out really well. A few notes to add: this was based on a Cooking Light recipe, and their recipes never have enough salt. I salted and peppered the raw chicken before I cooked it, and I think I added some extra salt to the sauce. So I do recommend that. Also, I forgot to mention that you should remove the string before serving, but that’s really just common sense, isn’t it?

Tonight we’re going to the Farmers’ Market (first sale of the season), where I hope to find some morels. They’re expensive but deeply, deeply worth it. It would be even better to find them for free, but I don’t seem to be very good at that. I hope the frosts from the last couple of nights haven’t killed off this year’s crop. After that we’re going to see Gunner Palace at the Bijou. I’m a little sore from running last night, so I’m going to take a night off from exercise and just relax.
