  • xangaversary

    I’ve been here 8 years now.

    long gone is the person who is responsible for me signing up and in – from xanga and my daily world.

    I write more without a care -thus probably more interestingly.

    I have met many nice people and it is a thrill to continue to.

    I have gotten many presents of other’s time or loot.  sweet.

    I have caught fire with the excitement others can be…and had that fire extinguished – drat. :D

    I have taken people’s advice and paid cash for cool things.

    I still daydream and believe.

     

    fun moments are when parties break out.  some are planned like @doahsdeer invited us to do him in- figuratively, some are unplanned like many a time 3-5 people just gather to blow up another’s comment box ;) adamswomenfell optical noise and others just wandered into @repressedsex ‘s  comment box and stayed lol.  sometimes it’s a work party wherein we are challengedcratively to produce our way through a list of prompts- mooncatblue and nelson too may be where it began but the huntsbecame whims and the name’s changed too :D .  guessing who peopleare is another fine diversion and lol I so took the baitand worked for it…failed miserably but ;) it helped thewinner got jipped as life interviened…the lady had to take a plumjob get married and have kids. 

     

    there where times I saw the piranhas circle and or oppinions.  ug.  many have had good lil wars too and thus trulyifoneever wonders why the names change… heheheh

     

    well, I’m sure there is some trouble to concoct and a pizza upstairs to consume :D I will return to see if any of you remember magic in your time.

  • wanna go egging?

    classic mayonaise with a pep-up of stone ground Dijon musttard, egg yolks all mooshed together then place within the wells of slice *top to bottom so there are two wells not one honker and half a wasted top* of the boiled whites combine to make….  Deviled Eggs.  simple, fast and elegant. 

    http://media.onsugar.com/files/2010/03/13/1/192/1922195/53d393d43004f893_LIOHI_deviled_eggs.preview.jpg

     

    note above is that magic yolk piped into the egg halves from a pastry bag.  many people are cheffing it up these days.  but I long ago havent replaced my pastry bag that grew legs with 13 moves I’ve made since 2004.  so, what’s a soul to do?  whip out the ziplock.

    I have only cut the corner on a bag  – but, here is a video, and product thingum

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUnKI55JQm0

    COST???? 20 cents for a ziplock there abouts, 1.79 for the coupler, and 1.09 for a tip  or 3.08 but much you can re use. toss the ziplocks after using :D ;)

    -

    many mince onion, sweet pickles luncheon meats bacon peppers herbs and spices into their version of “heaven”  what’s you quickie snackum recipe?  the oddest was fresh dill and onion it tasted quintession dill pickly yet there was no salt note and that disconcerted me.  I came to the taste of dill long before I knew it was an herb…thus I never think of that taste but from the lens of experience pickle.

    many also paprika sprinkle their eggs to give it thats “broiled” look.  I have done that and also used chili con carne powder for the sassier zest. do you  try to improve that look or do you quick prep?

    -

    many many have seen the old tupperware servers of deviled eggs. or perhaps a prettier tray, but here is a selection of links to them anyways. prices range from 10-40 clams for them I’m rather surprised.

    I have even seen them cost upwards of 80 dollars or more… eek.

     

    but this is one thing I remember – the only time a lil french isn’t a sin, I remember how cook the eggs just right so that they’re fully hard boiled yet there is no. green rind on the yolks outside.  this lesson was courtesy of pbs and jacques pepin.  of orse hb’s spin and raw ones dont… but there really isn’t any good way to tell where in process the eggs are but boiling water and time.  I am not at sea level but over a mile high in altitude and thus a 5 minute egg which is soft boiled – 7-8 hard boiled is 12-13 minutes at altitude.  Iget twelves when I take care to heavily salt my boiling water…this isn’t for taste! this is for the simple physics that eggs float more in salty water…this helps me loose less to damage.  I’m not keen on storing broken shelled eggs in the fridge…however ;) they can for a week shell intact…marked.  yes there is nothing worse than losing a precious hard boiled egg to a inattentive breakfast maker….I am that inattentive breakfast maker ;)

     

    I would like to point out that it seems odd a master chef would run a special about the simplest of foods yet one who can not respect  and prepare simple things well might not be a good canidate for preparing far more expensive ingredients…. oh and the first thing I ever cooked was?  heh an egg.  fired.  I used to like them sunny side up but nowadays this means snotty uncooked eggs…I don’t like raw egg…ew.  over easy to over medium is nice but again same thing I STILL get unooked eggs too often, so most of the time its FRIED meaning over hard or scrambled and oddly enough I am not worried about a lame breakfast but it has gotten so boring I haven’t cooked eggs with perhaps toast in a long long time of years.  production breakfast yes but simple no.

     

     

  • out and if

    I visited my friend up north where circles spin again.  I went to to deliver loss as my pal never was much good at cards yet was  I think an 1800 rated chess player far beyond my hopes of defeat-well there was this one time I played animal logic’s firing up the sunset gun all night long on repeat and won the sixth game  I never heard the song he violently hates it ;) … cheeeeeaattting.  I left 3 games down to the first I won.  whooopsy.    I never again will enter that house without bringing something – I’m not certain I “have to” but I am certain the fuck you leave my soul when I enter with the feeling of yeah? you’ve nothing you can say.  I shouldn’t leverage my good fortunes meanly but somehow that house’s pride burnt me in that way.

     

    I got a ride there and the bus to bingo.  I heard my boss had a tough last week and that I have a joshua l someone out there that looks apparently just like me who was on local tv election day I’m like I hardly left my house I caught a bus to the supermarket dropped half a dozen eggs on the floor in a fine showing of goobervilleness and hen home having to own it at the register to get a wet mop in the dairy please. ;)   hey, I owned it.  I care that you don’t catch the death of salmonella boffing in the dairy fresh cold case.

     

    I want more cidre.

    this lady today said her name had power.  I pointed out that it was the name of both adrink mix annnnnd the glass… collins. ;)   I’m not sure I helped her make that point.

  • thoreauian

    oh today thoreau

    I chose a day sans the beer

    regrettable choice.

     

    I am a hairbrushing socks with sandles and whatever else I grab to journey eclectically to pay my months utilities portion of upkeep. 
    I would like to point out that the dog called it

    ruff, ruff ruff!, I say

    happy election today

    ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff. ;)

     

    yes yes, duh, I’ll survive without beer lol.  and no, the dog didn’t chase the canvasing lady- just made a fuss.  I think there is a roast chicken in the plan so I’mgetting green beans almondine frozens, butter, almonds – very tasty stuff which encourages vegetable consumption meaning a vital us.

     

    okay, maybe one beer, just maybe :D   NO YOU SHALL RESIST.

     

    the title and allusion is to the henry david thoreau quote of if I repent of anything it shall be my good behaviour.  if you understand me/my history when I try to be good often this is lethal to me dietarily.  I thus am cracking a joke.  I know I just explained it! that means it may not have been very funny :D  

  • excite me cheap smokes

    to begin again seeking

    to explore the new

     

    (yes you can infer that my quitting smoking campaign hath stalled for a time.)

     

    here winter threatens

    and now you’re excited to….

    project time is over

     

    am I sad or smart

    I’m considering me first

    not bleeding myself.

     

    (I feel for you that are touched by disaster and I yet must wait till my ducks are in a row before asking to hop the bus to your aid.  it’s cold there, I”m not as resiliant and need my medication better covered  yet even still such isn’t the point such an idea of volunteering is 2 weeks meals on another’s ticket – I feel greesy thinking of myself needing to consider gaining from helping but I frankly have been burnt fairly crispy by altruism alone.  it IS skin off y nose or rather my resources. but I feel greasy having to consider myself first and that is worth learning not to be ashamed of…learning the lines however late in this life of having to say yes and no responsibly.)

     

    it’s an investment!

    haunting words snowadays heh.

    the game – spot the mark.

     

    (I’m considering  FINALLY not a fancy bigger flatscreen tv, nor an ipad but a kegerator.  a nice enough apartment size fride big enough for the 16.5 half keg and really cool if it can fit an additional 1/4 keg for variety’s sake, with! the freezerabove for the icy frosty mugs ice andiced spirits.  I know one day of enforced prohibition because I lit up with a fine evening of wine and I’m all grandiose about investing on fancy stuff in everlasting bulk ;)   but seriously I like beer and I’m rather sad it seems that I apparently live canadian beer magnets able to swill whole tanks in the holy name of beer….eh.  but I like saving money!!!  but theinvestment takes 2.5 yearsof saving and I know how to calculate why such is a real world savings..which it is..and I’m annoyed I tell you because thats a long time to benefit others efore I see my pocketboook enriched by my own outlays.  I’ve done that before as who hasn’t?  tried to save a buck buy spending 2.  yes even used offerings quite the bargain  available yet still cash spent is cash gone and it is some timebefore *I* see MY value returned til then party and yays yada lol)

     

    risk and risk quite well

    without that risk there’s no gain

    but but it’s a RISK

     

     

    my house is going to get a new roof, the guys ‘ll bring an insurance guy out friday.  nice to know it’s getting taken care before I know there’s a problem.   I am trying to continue my ongoing improve my life schemes yet risk wisely on ways to improve longevity….this is by multifaceted offerings… facilitating excitement investment .  this allows me to plan and also live nicely.  yes, I have bought a freezer before and It lasted nine months of which not one month did I save on food I spent more lol…but I did have bag ice for more iced teas on a whim.   I think kegerators are neat because that is a guy’s dream of multiple gallons of icy beer…cheap.  but lol this isn’t free  hence lol the internal debate to consider wisely as once spent money’s gone.  I thus am trying to consider well.  plus it’s still likely 2 months savings too.

     

    but having guys who stay longer term than 3 months with the one gal 2 with the one she poached is not stability its  a helping hand to NOT me.  so how to keep up with making the place continuallyinviting and a keg sounds tempting.

     

    a grill.

     

    a wood burning stove

     

    bills paid up in advance which means more relief from worry which seems sillybut never is as what strife.

     

    continual relentless home upkeep improvement.

     

    desire and common sense diverged in the woods of choice and I took the most wisely.

  • fairto middlin.

    cream cheese jalepeno stuffed burgers topped with muenster cheese on classy buns.  burger throwdown has begun.  *brother’s todo

    sweet onion centered meatballs in a rich chunky sauce topping multigrain spaghetti.  *older new roommate’s  response to  my gringo tostadas.

     

    while I whined about it and still got stuck cleaning out the oven, this resulted in extra work on the organization of the kitchen and the dividends of fine food and renewing interest in cooking for sport.  oddly enough being seen working is the seeming trick about here and took a recycling of roommates.

     

    -

    I set an appointment for this county’s clinic 23 days just for the financial screening but as it’s through the clinic not the state/county avenue I can call next available point and get in which means I think I be light on meds but thankfully not out – but drat I didn’t get in sooner thus I’ll be having to make due neglecting beers and being better at portion control rigidity because ;) such is by then the med’s I’ll have – not the full magic pile.

     

    this also means I’ll have to wait to consider the magic notion of signing on for disaster relief if they;kk have me at red cross – as Ihave to be square myself before running off the help others.  call me selfish but while I’intrinsically like to help this is more of a monetary improvement for me than straight help alttruismas Iam also fed even if I’m not “paid” and that saves me some green   would any of you consider those things from far away/?

     

    I savefor the first time in the months here I look forward to a few nicer months with this roommate setup.

    I bought a ruffinocianti one ofthe two inexpensive offeringswith 5brands offered in totum.  itis was 2007 and overall dry but one could taste that signature sweet of a younger wine. it is so very close to the joy of a grand cabernet.  as wine goes I’dsay its like a merlo without spice. if you see it, I was a happy happy soul .

    -

    the news of our last roomates was sad as the dog owner had to put her favorite to sleep hehad a brain tumor. even if thejerkbit me, it wasacomforting having a big lazydog clmor into bed these few months.  I’m glad his lasnight he was gifted some of my beer.  he was a happy beer sippin dog. 

    I didn’t win on thescratch tickets I got dag nabbit but if youread above, I’m thinking my luck’s fair to middlin ;)

    lettuce I like the shreddred romaine because I like it for salads for one more.

    rand dressing
      I know I know I said ranch is vile but I found  new one I like (Annie’s Cowgirl ranch – it doesn’t taste so much like sour buttermilk and I’m guessing that’s the taste nor does it taste like a chemical bath of preservatives.)

    this is one way they can come out…this picture isn’t mine…mine are better  ;) but you’ll have to take my word for it.

    you can add cheese and or sliced olice by the way

    I start with a paper plate, a lengthof paper towel neck to floor folding back as a stack 6-8 folds bottom, 2 atop tuck bacon in one layer fold top over to avoid splatters nuke- it takes six minute and 20 second up at altitude I’m a mile high and my oven is 800 watts.  I then thendice or shredd my toppings, then crisp the tortillas in an oiled pan  smear a layer of rach on top with bacon and vegetation and consume the crisp joy.

     

    eat up people this is the new pub grub.  variations are cod fish flaked cooked in a stock and hot pepper, shredded chicken diced chicken pulled pork shredded beef and american shrimpies.  you can expect one soft taco 7-8 tortillawith the fancier toppings for about 6 -7 dollars and a meal for 8-9 – (if you go out – its 3 ranch, 5 bacon, 2 tortillas, 3 romain hearts, 30 cents a tomato plum, 1.5 sliced olives, 2.5 shredded cheeeeeese, 2 orange pepper or 10 cents a tortilla, 80 bacon, 10 cents ranch, 15 cents tomato, 40 cents lettuce ish. 30 cheese, 10 cents olive. orunder two bucks but not by much.  buy in bulk to save more you typically an shae this dow to a buck fourty.  and thats luxerious eating if you’re a budgeteer but ;) you can surego through these thing snakin.

     2.90

    to accomodate a family of this snackfood you can crisp the tortillas brush with oil in a stack of cookie sheets in a 350F oven this will serve a burrito sized tortilla which is light fare for one a piece. this can be quarterd and two stacked pieces is a very pretty plate and party fuel. :D
