05 Jan 2009: Grubbin’ is Lubbin’

Somehow, we made it through the holidays...Our presents were pretty obvious from the start and now we have even more than what we had. Fashion and Fun seemed to have intermarried with Food and Art.

In between all the doubletime and triple time and comp days and half days - we still managed to make meals...and even pack our lunches...

Dinner becomes the next days lunch with chicken enchiladas...

I've started sending lunches off in these disposable foils with covers...coz my tupperware is making it to other peoples cabinets and not finding their way home. This remedies me askin' for it or for anyone feeling bad.

For Christmas we had a simple paella, a ham and side veggies.

Here's a closeup

Ham,"it ain't no joke"

Then there's the nightly food.

Sirloin isn't a life altering decision - it's just there all the time

I make our salad toppings...don't hate

Our mashed potatoes don't come from a box, and gravy is made fresh

With a little salad

All I gotta say is 2 years in the game...and he's still tickled with his plate.

Plus you know - we're still getting the hookup on pot roast...about 35lbs for like 40 bucks. Bwaa ahahahha.

You think you know but you don't. I got the super delux hookups.

Don't say you love people if you feed them garbage. Just Don't.

I see people doin' this all the time sayin' how they care about such and such or love such and such to death, and then when the topic of cooking comes up they turn up their shit infested noses as if they were entitled to do nothing.

YOU

AIN'T

RIGHT.

15 Dec 2007: I got conned...0_o

Last night I went home to my house for a few reasons. 1) To see my family and the doggies. 2) To do laundry - coz I love our new big ass front load high tech washer and dryer! Coz I can do our big ass Korean blankies in one load and the pillows too! 3) Coz I miss my personal space. 4) To check out the new stuff on our public drive to see what music and movies we have. 5) To meet my brothers lady friend M----.

I stayed up late last night until about 4am...Just futzing around with some of my spreadsheets, catching up on movies, starting laundry...I finally puttered to my room and pulled a book off the shelf and fell asleep after reading part of it.

I woke up this morning automatically around 8 and threw the blanket over my head to get another hour of sleep. I could vaguely hear everyone on the north side of the house so I made an attempt to wake up. I gave Bebe a good morning call and strolled down to the kitchen. My sister started a greek style chicken roast with potatoes and herbs so I did my laundry. I was thinking that I was gonna get out of makin' enchiladas coz lunch was already made. I was thinkin' excitedly that I would prolly be able to squeeze in a nap today

But...but my brother came home from the gym and he said Oh...what's up? Where's my enchiladas? I said well...Keyla already made lunch. He said So...

hahahahha.

I said,"I don't think we have the sauce or even the red chili's so i can make the sauce from scratch." He said Hmmmmm. He then stood IN THE PANTRY and went through the entire thing and 20 minutes later said - here you go. He actually found 1 can of sauce in that 11 foot pantry.

I just laughed. I laughed and laughed because what he wants he gets.

So chicken enchiladas it was...and spanish rice

Here's an emptied pan

Sticky Spicy Spanish Rice...

And a Full Pan...to be enjoyed tomorrow!

The only thing missing was Julian with a cold chili beer and his plate.

Keyla and I ran for movies, and jewel cases and groceries..Holla at Princess Raccoon featuring Zhang Ziyi and the dude from Shinobi...Also thank you for my copies of Anthony Bourdain in 4 cities...We observed a lot of crazy Christmas shoppers at Best Buy and dumbheads at Walmart so we left and I got asked over and over what would I like for Christmas and honestly I said nothing. But I'm sure I will get something and here I am. I think it's time for a coffee gelato on espresso - affogato. Ciao.
