I had a craving for shrimp cocktail tonight. I had shrimp in the freezer, but no cocktail sauce. I didn't want to go to the store, so I figured I'd make my own, since I had everything I needed—except the ketchup. So I did some research and figured out how to make homemade ketchup. Actually not that difficult, although also not quite the same (or as good) as the Heinz variety. Anyway, I whipped some up and then turned it into cocktail sauce. It was delicious, but now I have about two cups of homemade cocktail sauce that won't keep for very long. So it looks like it'll be shrimp cocktail every night for the next few days.

The entire weekend was mostly spent cooking, eating, and watching football. The Cardinals are in the NFC Championship game! And they're hosting it! A fan at the last game had the greatest sign:

Forecast:
ARIZONA
Getting hotter

HELL
Starting to freeze over

Quite apropos, I think. It's a lot of fun seeing the city get behind the team (myself included!).

But, what about KG/Rondo slash, again?!

And how'd you make homemade ketchup? Also, we have cocktail sauce and no shrimp cocktail. :/

Someone has written a couple of fics. Interesting pairing.

And homemade ketchup is basically just tomoatoes, tomato paste, onions, garlic, brown sugar, allspice, and salt and pepper, all blended up. Pretty easy.
