Week Notes forFebruary 15 - 21 (#88)

It was a mostly quiet week. Had hockey 2 nights, a nice date night Saturday, and otherwise uneventful.

I-League Starts Back Up

The I-League I play in as a goalie started back up Monday. The roster changed over this season some which often happens. We played a strong game. Outside of trading goals in the first period, that game ended up being a goalie battle. Both me and our opponent's goalie played well and the game ended in a 1-1 tie. I was happy with my performance, didn't feel rusty after 6-7 weeks off from games. Still saw some things I could work on.

Migrated Blog Tooling to Node.js

I have a few .NET console applications that help me build my posts and site. I spent a good portion of this week rebuilding them using Node.js to make switching between my Mac and Linux machines a little easier. More to come on this.

Lazy-ish Week

Outside hockey Monday and Wednesday nights, I didn't work out as much as I wanted to. I did take advantage of the nicer weather Saturday to go for a 5.5 mile run which actually felt good.

Date Night

Saturday night was another date night. We went to Stable 12 for dinner followed by the movies to see Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, which was enjoyable. It was a good way to spend a weekend night.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

I really enjoyed this. It was offbeat, had some good laughs, cast was excellent, and would highly recommend.

Recipes

Miso Chicken

I found this recipe and decided to give it a try. I had never used miso paste for anything and figured this would be a good candidate to first try it out on. The chicken thigh skins crisped up nicely and the flavor was subtle, yet still good. It was also a nice easy recipe to make and a good weeknight meal. The only thing I found was that it took around 50 minutes in the oven at 400ºF rather than the 30-35 mentioned in the recipe. It's not a big deal at all, especially since it's just baking time.
