I thought I might be dying. But I guess I'm just stressed. So typical.
Admittedly I did not enjoy cooking last night. I was grumpy and wanted Denny's nachos. I'll even apologize for the pictures I took: boring, lackluster, lazy.
In the end I was quite happy with how everything turned out. However, I still want my Denny's nachos.
