ZaAaP!

R.I.P. – Linksys WAP11 (Wireless Access Point) and Linksys BEFSR41 (EtherFast Cable/DSL Router). You’ve given many good days of service and I appreciate all your efforts. May you rest in peace.

Lightning seems to have hit something (our roof?) and killed a few small but important electronics. Still investigating, but everything else seems OK.

If you have any sites hosted on my servers, you will need to update your DNS (ask me) as the IP has changed to 69.81.137.61.

Update: The onboard Ethernet controller on my desktop machine can rest in peace as well. Now substituted by a trusty spare 3Com 3C905B I had laying around.

Update: A set of outlets on the kitchen island is also out.

Update: The outlet is fine, the GFCI outlet in the kitchen was on the same circuit and flipped. The TV, however, is very interesting colors.

Orzo with Chicken, Garlic, and Broccoli

Last night we made something similar to Manischewitz Chicken and Broccoli Risotto. We initially planned to make the recipe as listed, but found out while at Tops that they don’t carry the Risotto mix, so we had to improvise…

We ended up making chicken sautéed in butter with garlic, adding broccoli, and adding the whole mess to orzo pasta. I seasoned the whole thing with some nice freshly ground salt and pepper. We also had Matzo Ball Soup since Adrienne had never had it before, and I really like it.

Rosemary Chicken

Last night, we made a dish that I’ll call Rosemary Chicken. We didn’t use a recipe and I made everything up at the grocery store and on the spot.

To go with it, we had Manischewitz chicken flavored couscous and some good pita flatbread.

It was really very good, and I would recommend for anyone who likes chicken to give it a try. I had Turning Leaf 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon and Adrienne had their 2002 White Zinfandel.

Enjoy!
