Man, I'm so distracted at work today. I've got literally three things on my to-do list here, one I can't do today, one is completely irrelevant, and the last is just organizing a file that's so crazy, I don't even want to think about it.

I wish I could just go home and cook all day... I want to make these energy bars I saw on the food channel, with oats and whole wheat flour and dried fruits and nuts; and I just got a new pizza stone, so I want to make french bread and of course, pizza; and I want to make a huge batch of chili, I want to try it with a little bittersweet chocolate and manteca this time. I think I can get manteca (aka lard) at my local grocery, otherwise I might have to venture to the south side of town, where everything is written in spanish and I'm scared to leave my car on the street. AND this deli in Allentown just went under new ownership (I pass it all the time) and although the new name doesn't sound greek, they've got the names of greek foods all over the windows, so I'm excited to stop there. But this 9 to 5 work is getting in the way!
