25 Jan 2009: Food for my Cipher...

So last night I'm in bed reading and watchin Trading Places (original with Eddie Murphy & Dan Akroyd) and Julian's playin' poker with everyone...I hear the door around 130-ish - and it's Mr. Man and he says I'm with Boris and Vic...I holla,"i'm in bed...He comes in the room gives me a hug and a kiss and I'm like,'you got beer breath hunny..." He laughs. I tell him there's potroast in the stove - just make something...there's rolls and spanish rice and stuff to make nachos. He's like okay I gottit. So I mute the TV and listen to see how he'll handle it. I hear the knife move off the counter - I hear the cutting board jiggle near the stove and then I hear the oven open and the roast get put on the counter. Then I hear silence.

Hahaha he's too faded to assemble food.

So I throw on a robe and my glasses and walk out there with my bedhead and I'm like hi guys! And they are all just standin there lookin at the meat but everyone has a fresh heinekin in their hand. I just laugh and ask,"need help?" The bebe is like YEAH. I said I gottit.

Everyone is chopping it up and I slice up a third of the beef - ask bebe to grab an onion, the lemon juice and some bellpepper. I heat up the pan, until it smokes - then hit the ricecoooker to rewarm the rice. Add oil - sizzle beef, sprinkle some red chili flakes and garlic powder...Boris is intrigued and is like what's this what's that...Kibby is like Grub Commentator..that is garlic powder, that is no msg oyster sauce, that is 2 soysauce, she uses 2 kinds)...All three of them are rubbin their hands as the meat sizzles - I fire up the little fryer and drop in half a dozen lumpia. I then add a little fresh crushed pepper, bellpeppers, onions and green onions. In about 4 more minutes it's all done. The whole thing took about 10 minutes.

Boris,"OMG you got eggroll action too?"
Julian,"My bebe makes those..."
Boris," Noooo Way..."
I open the fridge and show him the stash...he's like Wow man wow and gives Julian this look of,"you're lucky."

I say, it's ready - eat eat eat.


They are just eating and eating and sayin,"oh man that's good, this is so good" hahahaha. I told them eat it all - i'm not hungry its too late. LOL. So they ate and went to catch a quick poker game at Rudeboy's house. Mind you their Jamaican homie called like 5x and they are like HOLDUP WE EAATTTIIIIIN'

Last week Gya blew into town for a little respite from East Coast Winter...
Bomblettes on the fly for Gya, Tina, Element and Me and then a quick peek at Friday coz everyone loves that Movie... also included are pics from a previous bomblette where we gave Gya a hard time about her Anime I dig him face!









Logan (Element) was joking I'll have steak with mine - I laughed and said don't joke - we got steak - The girls are like don't make him no steak - I laughed and said let the man have steak - if he want steak he can have steak....

Man - why I gotta have my just rolled out of bed skirt on in both sets of pics and the first hoodie I grab out the cabinet. hahahhah.

I even had time to throw a batch of cookies coz you know we cool like that...


---
Girl bomblettes was one of the funnest...










And even before Gya left for Brooklyn...there was time for brunch



hahaha: i'm the only person who gets photo tagged for a cookie delivery.


---
And still we're packin' lunches...

Mostly sammiches and pasta dishes topped with salmon or chickennn







a couple weeks ago the girls came in from Vegas for a couple days to relax after snowboarding in Utah and Flagstaff...hahaha

They din't even wanna go out - they just wanted to chill and eat.



After one meal in particular they were like dang we're sleepy - I said oh you guys just ate too much - It's just the ITIS. They were like what's the itis?
I laughed and said we gotta watch boondocks for proper explanation. I never bother the girls when we mob out to Vegas we always stay at the hotel - but now the girls insist we gotta stay with them. LOL.

My latest favourite arrival from Tita Momma in Manila...5lbs of organic, sun dried on banana leaves then hand roasted in a clay pot over charcoal. Bwaa hahhaha. What you know about that...observe the pan roasted chicken on romaine in the background already packed for my lunch



---

So Vic said it again...He woke up late one morning and was standing in the kitchen tryin to eat before he left for work. So he was disconbobulated and makin' a decision - meanwhile his girlfriend stood in the kitchen and LOOKED at him. I told Julian this morning...if her dumb ass was already standing in there she was prolly already stuffing her face - how hard would it be to hook him up with something to eat if she was already stuffing her face?" I didn't like that cow anyways - and she really pushed me over the edge when she smacked Julian jokingly in the head with a piece of paper. But for realz.

Why you tryin' to be with someone when you have nothing...nothing brought, nothing to share, nothing to give. And then this hoe tries to act surprised that his Momma don't like her.

I'm tired of hearin' of these triflin' ass hoes. I'mma tell you hoes that I know in a 3rd party way (as in your guy hang out with my man) everytime you cut up - everytime you mess up - everytime you act up, act retarded, act dumb, act out - and I know you hoes do it daily - it's good luck to me. Coz everytime you do dumbshit your guy call my MAN and tells him the DUMB shit you did and after he's done shakin his head as he listens on the phone...he finds wherever I am in the house and gives me a hug and a kiss - and THANKS me...yeah, he thanks me for helping to make the life we have a good one and being a good woman and a great friend to him and never doin dumb shit. So you see your misfortune is my fortune.

I will tell you this - when you are selfish and dumb, you might as well have an expiration date on your forehead: best before 02.02.09...coz it's only a matter of time before he gets hip to your rotten dumbshit then you out on that ASS.

Bwaaa hhahhaa.

23 Apr 2007: Bomblettes Quattro - Recap

Since the hostess with the mostess has been on tour out of the COUNTRY...and for her birthday festivities she was in NYC...We haven't had a bomblettes event in a minute. There will be one forthcoming very soon.

This last one was in Feb.

Annie just tickles my heart...we are both Filipino and still crack each other up with imitations of our respective mom's. You know it's funny how Mom's all say the same thing and though it tortured you at the time it's hilarious now.

First there is first plate out. You call it bomblettes...grimey french toast...roasted potatoes and even tortilla's or quesadillas as an option...

Annie says that there's just a certain scent to the way I cook that makes her happy and reminds her of home. Awww. Look at her serious plate eating face!!! Bwaa hahhaha

Tina and LT Laughin...I miss all the action coz I'm on the stove...

I'm tellin' you all this laughin...

I never worry about Phat E...he makes his own.

Oh Crash and Baron...

Oh Crash and Baron it wouldn't be bomblette's without you...

I like how everyone is always comin' in to crack me up too or to check it out...

Many many eggs later - at least 3 dozen...Mattx calls to say that he can't make it coz he's all tired and stuff from moving. The Gya looks at me and I tell her - tell him to come get his shit to go...if he's been movin' all day he needs groceries...2 shakes of a video hoes tail and Mattx shows and kills his bomblette.

Perfect Attendance Award goes to Kzo.

Wendy...you have 2 absences. 1 excused

Truant of the Year for no attendance goes to Julian! But how can I be mad when he's with that girl called GRIND.

14 Jan 2007: Bomblette's Trois...the third episode

Bomblette's went fabulously...

Although - I did miss my WEndiZZLe and Grime-y. I also missed my fabulous Diosa who was feelin' under the weather but whom I sent a bomblette plate via the Hydacious. I feel like I hadn't seen Hydacious in way too long. Blurred but True. (see below)

The premise...you call it omelettes plus roasted potatoes and grimey french toast that don't need syrup. The produce guy is fabulous and I'm gonna be a permanent fixture at his farmer's market.

Roll Call:

The 7th Letter

Breez

LT aka Reflekshin

Hydacious

Felicetti

The fabuloso Baron

Miss Vee & the Gorgeous Jaden

Phat E +1

Sebastian

Kzo aka Cheez

Element

Mizz Tina

Crash

---

I can never stop sayin' what a JOY it is to be around Gya...

It's tough bein' full of food...but this time LT din't give me shit for givin' him too small of a plate and even laced me with 2 faboo cd's for my work joints. Thank you LT!

The flow of dopely deep conversation and mimosa's in combination with bomblette's led to goodbye's to take naps. Holla at Mr. Mesi and Senor Mattx in Calie - you'll get bomblette's too.

---

...funniest phone call ever...

Julian: How's bomblette's

Me: Still goin (told him what was bein' grubbed)

Julian: I'm jealous, do I have to hear this now?

Me: Okay I'll be nice

Julian: Tell everyone I said hey whassup and thanks for enjoying my girlfriend while I'm on a business trip...

Me: I'm not tellin' them that shit - they enjoyed me before you got promoted to boyfriend...

Julian: *laughs*

---

I spent the better part of the night at Katie's visiting and catching up. I'm a little torque'd and thinkin' about things. I should be in bed but I'm not. I'll pay the piper tomorrow...but for now my brain has stuff to chew on.

17 Dec 2006: Kinna...

...Kinna Bomblette...

Same premise on the Bomblettes...

I slice up the stuff - and you call what you want on it. I made Grimey French Toast (a must have)...roasted potatoes with bellpepper and garlic and a bit of smoked turkey...and at the last minute I threw in a salsa and green onion quesadilla. Everyone was happy with it...But my friends are not those who complain. A few people didn't make it coz we did a last minute location change and some people were just too busy. It's okay this is a repeat brunch...so no worries.

Sorry April - I threw the Anti You Bomblette in the trash - it looked weird.

I'm also starting to schedule other foodie gigs so stay posted...

Hey Wendy, what's with all the brown folks in your kitchen!

---

We all sat around for the greater part of the afternoon - and Mateo even came by - he's quite the character and way too fun.

...Kinna Weird...

I really don't know what to make of all these choices that are constantly being presented in front of me. I really don't know why so many choices are being allotted to me. I really don't know why my life seems to have a gravitational pull of it's own. I really don't know why kisses burn and confessions of emotion almost hurt. I really don't know why this is becoming a situation of hilarity. I shouldn't laugh. But I can't help it.

...Kinna Scary...

I don't like it when people ask me if I'm "Saucy from Myspace..." Some people do it and it's cool, some people do it and it's not so cool. Also, the last few times I'm out, people have called that they've seen me here or there and they mention what I was wearing or what I was doing - and oh maybe they should have talked to me more. ??? I dunno. Funny thing is I didn't even go out that much this week coz someone has managed to get a bit of my time. "But when you like someone you make time..." He's right. It is only what it is...

...Kinna Dope...

So after a restless night of sleep and cooking all day, I was off again.

UM threw this jazz fusion thing of local artists at the Loft tonight. It was amazing to see genuine jamming on that level. It's great to hear all that energy swirling from people who usually don't play on that scheme. The crowd was in a fabulous mood and it was all movement and smiles and grins. It ended up just being Mateo and I convoying over there coz Wendy had stuff to handle at home. I miss my WL when I'm not with her.

I ran into Jules - who gave me a hug and I said take a picture with me fool since I never see you. He had paint on his hands and all. The last time I saw this guy he was tellin' me I made the taco meat too hot and to put some celery in it. You are fired for that Jules - but you are still the painterly homie - Otay?

I also ran into Joe whom I met from Diosa. Everytime I see that dude I get confused - coz he really changes his look up. I like how he really gets involved in conversations and pays deep attention and what he retorts is sensical and smiling. I like conversational people. They are rare.

At least people who have good shit to say.

Girls - I told you don't make eye contact with those dudes. Making eye contact is the kiss of death...

Just do like me and straight ignore them. Just throw a look of disgust and turn your entire body away before he can even finish the sentence.

...Kinna Sleepy...

I'm off to bed now. Tomorrow is a slumber party - and I think I'm actually gonna sleep for once. . Maybe.

26 Nov 2006: Breakin Bread and Gettin Fed Where Chef's Tread

It's been a crazy week. But today it settled itself into easy goodness.

This will be the photo free blog, Gya and Wendy have the pics and we're all busy. so the photo's can wait a few days. Ok? ok.

...on Thanksgiving...

You know I'd worked the day before and a photographer was actually coming in to take cake pics on thanksgiving - so I got it together. I was actually gettin' kind of tired towards the end and was thinking about what I was going to make for Thanksgiving. I'd spoken to a few people and some of my friends said they didn't know what they were doing and what not - but unless you tell me that you aren't cooking i'm not takin' the hint coz I have my own whacky distractions. Anyhow. I got off work around 11-ish and I was lucky my sister did the grocery shopping, coz I would have been one angry ass shopper at midnight.

I went home and baked off the cornbread, sliced and diced all the herb combinations and put them in separate ziploc bags and sharpied the dish name on them. I grated like 3 lbs of cheese and pre prepped 2 broccolli casseroles unassembled. I baked off the tart bottoms. By then it was like 4am - so I defrosted the turkey in ice water and went to bed.

the menu.

Roasted Turkey - garlic buttered

Roasted Chicken - my brother doesn't like turkey

Beer Marinated Tri Tip with Red Chili Crust

Rustic Red Mashed Potatoes with Crisp Roasted Garlic

Cornbread Italian Sausage Stuffing

Baked Ziti - no mac and cheese in my joint

Broccolli Casserole

Steamed Green Beans with Roux and Onions

Pumpkin Tartlets & Mom's Organic Coffee. Yah from her land.

Also brought in...

Potatoes au Gratin

Fabulous Samosas with chicken and mushroom - spicy tasty

Key Lime Pie (perfect)

more wine...

the attendees:

My brother - Rommel & My sister - Keyla

Me, Wendy, Grime, Konradio and his Princess

Big Cheez, Frenchie & Beth...

I have to say that this is one of the best Thanksgiving dinners I've ever had or been to. Although I wish I would have invited more people over and taken the day before off. Everything went smashingly. The conversation was flowing - all the food was ready on time. Wendy was simply amazed that I was able to make all the food by myself and it was ready to go - staged I told her - and we were just timing it so that when Frenchie and Beth arrived it would be game on the table.

<- wendy's plate

I will also say it's pretty dope when your homies actually stop to tell you,"Hey Saucy, I just wanna say I'm really glad to see you happy - genuinely happy --- you just look and act different, like you have no worries..." and I say thank you I am happy.

I guess you could say it was elevation by pushing a door open and you didn't know what was behind it. Good shit.

I also have to say it was so fun to watch Wendy and Grime try to occupy themselves while I was makin' the food. I love people with an appetite for food and for life and they have both. Cheez was crackin' me up - I can't believe it had been a year since he'd been over and he's like i brought my OWN damn tupperware for the stuffin' hahahhha. FOO !!! Beth and Frenchie are amazing - and I can't wait to get invited to one of their dinners. Even Rommel was chattin' it up with ole WLee... So fun.

So I notice Konradio's daughter Alyssa is eating a pumpkin tartlet with a kinna big spoon. I said baby would you like me to get you a better spoon - she said yes please. I bring her two and say would you like a tea spoon or a demitasse? She said ooooh the demitasse thank you. Bwaa ahhaha

Hella Diva.

It was kind of a long day and I was iffy about going to the blunt but Grimey and Wendy are like shutttup, grab your shit - you cooked all day, we'll kidnap you. And sure enough their asses did. I even met their friend Miss Jane. Bwaa hahahha - first time ever blunted in the blunt club. Know why - coz usually I'm drivin - not THAT night.

Antedote was rockin the spot and rockin' it right.

Let me tell you the club is kinna different through tight eyes. Hydacious was right at the front chattin' it up and stopped to give me a hug. I just love Hydacious. I flashed him my 4 stripe blue on white stillettos and he said giiiiiiiiiirl - you might be leaving the blunt with TWO guys tonight - hahahaha. Killin me. Although gettin' my ass grabbed twice almost killed my high. we circulated. Wendy moves kung fu fast through the crowd. Gya moves through the crowd like that too. I saw her for a brief minute and she was like Oh i gotta... And I couldn't decide what was worse my need for eyedrops or my deathly thirst. Thirst won. Then I saw Diosa - and I always feel better.

...Hate-ating...

so the 4 of of us were loungin' in the vip corner - and Kris was crackin' me up and she said yes i'm hating. I said well fuck it then hate on girl. And the girl purposefully walked by her. I gotta say sluts are fucking bold. They don't give a rats ass that they kootchie is more ventilated than the kundalini express but damn if they don't walk around like it's okay. Kris was just shocked, I was like don't be shocked - I mean really what do hoes have to lose, nothing --- their market value is next to nothing, their faces and bodies are fallen, they have no moral value, more than likely they have no taste or breeding so fuck it, and you know fa sho' they aren't educated with any kind of real job or income so let them do their walk under a dark light. then the slut walked by again --- soo i let out my e-40 Baaaaaaaaaaaaaatch.

That fixed it - she din't come back. Next time I'm goin to home depot and gettin me a gallon of Hoe-repellent.

So it's the end of the night and the lights get turned on and all the scary girls run away from the bright light and me and wendy are laughin over that shit. And it's time to say goodbye to everyone which is the longest and best part of the night. So we make our way out...and Wendy stalls on her goodbye and I'm standin' in the middle of the dancefloor and eFFin' Reflekshin pulls a ninja move and is standing in front of me sayin' HI. I'm like bwaa hahhaha HI. I ask him, "So din't you know about bomblette brunch?" He's like," NO, I walked right by Gya in the living room and walked into my room and checked MYSPACE to find out we're havin' that shit." I was laughin' my ass off. I said well - you better be there or you ain't gettin' fed. He said I'mma be asleep - so cook quietly. hahahhhaa! He's a bossy turd - but he's a cool bossy turd.

So finally we make it outside. Grime is grindin - Wendy is Schmoozing - and I'm kinna confused and a bit hungry. huh. So we start heading towards the car and this guy stops Wendy. She looks a little puzzled and waves me towards her - and she says Saucy meet C******. I say hi. He's like you don't remember me. I say no. He said you're Saucy from myspace right - I'm like you sure you got the right one? He's like yah. I'm like hmmm. He's like uh you look like your pics and that SMILE is unmistakable. He said we used to talk about vegetarian feasting? I'm like hmmm. He's like I know you - you're Saucy from myspace. I said it's funny you should say that coz Existereo said the same thing to me at Jonah's party. He's like WHAT - I'm friends with Existereo. I told him send me the emails then - I wanna see. 2 days later I still ain't got shit. ((shrugs)) I dunno.

My friend B**** thinks it was a ruse to talk to me.

...on Friday...

I'm a knucklehead and left my money and atm at home and I had to work until 11. I'm kind of glad I went home instead of going out coz I had more energy for...

...for Saturday Bomblette Brunch...

the cast and crew: Gya, Breez, Reflekshin, Me, Hydacious, Diosa, Mattx, Beth, Phat e, Crash, Mesi, Vanessa, and Miss V's Baby (Jaden?) Baron, I think J Rocc was there for a quick second and Area 4 did a drive by, Wendy and Grime (drive by)...why do i feel like i'm missing someone?

the premise: We make a little arrangement of bowls. In each of the bowls are the separate ingredients: chicken, mexican beef, chorizo, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, sliced zuchinni, bellpepper, salsa, cheese, avocado. So, after everything was sliced - Gya and I threw 2 cast irons on the burners and smashed out 2 trays of french toast which I left in the oven on warm. Then I called out people in the order they arrived. And I make them a 3 or 4 egg omellette they grab french toast and grub on.

the dope part: While I was prepping everything we started with coffee. Once the cookin' started we were on the mimosas...I think Gya said we went through 8 bottles of champagne today plus merlot and some Zin. It was a beautiful day, perfect sunshine and wind - everyone in a festive mood. Everyone was mellow but chatty...It's a great group of people to be around. I really missed everyone and havin' these brunch style things. Gya is the best host ever -- she's fuckin' perfect at constant motion and makin' sure everyone's in a cool place with their drinks or food or conversation.

The lovely miss "V" has volunteered their joint for the next fete. I suggested that we do an Asian Gangsta Noodle bowl. Bwaa hahahhha. It's on.

I have to say everyone was happy with their Bomblettes. I have to say that everyone was happy with their french toast. I have to say that everyone was happy with everyone else's company. It was great to just kick back and have a couple glasses of wine and watch kung fu flicks. It was great to fall asleep on a pillow with a flick on and not have a damn care in the world, then wake up coz everyone should eat some quesadillas. I love the smell of freshly made food and the content sound of my friends eating.

I'm really lucky I'm surrounded by uplifted people who are rooted in things they love. I'm really lucky that people look upon me with love. I'm really lucky that people offer to thank me in private. haha. I'm really lucky that I'm smiled upon by very good friends...

...8 hours later...

..0018/47/21/18621274_m.jpg">

So Gya has her lovely crib all in order again as if it weren't a whirlwind of noise and food and conversation. And I'm off to meet Katie at the diner for chickenfried steak. Would you believe that after an 8 hour brunch - I forgot to eat? Once I got to the diner I realized all I'd had was mimosa's and wine and coffee. Freakin' horrible.

Katie and I are just choppin' it up over umpteen cups of coffee and catchin' up on cheffin' and her gettin a new crib...and where we should go on vacation next year...and my crazy dating...and how she thought L*** is just the damn hottest guy she ever saw...but it's always laughter, caffeine and nicotine. Next year is gonna be super fun fun fun. What's a girl to do.

We got plans next week. But omg My calendar is already stuffed.
