16 Aug 2009: Still in the kitchen...Still kickin ASS...

I've been slippin...

...laggin on the food blogs - and such

But I'm still in the kitchen...still love the game...still Kickin ASS...




The following is just a series of food pics...I figured I might as well put them up with a few words - since my food pics get 10x more views than my personal ones...

---

There are still meals for Mr. Man aka Kibby aka Julian...

Chicken with Yams and Chinese Long Bean




Cheerio Apple Jack Treats with Cranberries and Almonds




Asparagus Beef...coz we both love asparagus all day




Then there's those random requests that include everything from beef melts - to grilled cheese - to nachos - to pan fried noodles...Even tho he's never requested anything coz he will eat anything (we ain't too big on swine except ribs)...this time he said,"I want crispy shrimp...we got any of that tempura stuff?" I laughed and said YES...and even threw in some tempura zuchinni. haha.




Beef Ribs and Roasted Potato Salad just because...




Then there's pastries that get mde for local golf pros coz they are nice enough to COMP our greens fees - LOL. It didn't start out like that - they were just hookin Julian up coz they found him to be this great guy with a positive outlook well - I sent cookies as a thank you because it's not right to get something for nothing. but well. you know the rest...

I still make stuff from Scratch...that's just how I get down. My mother in law City Momma gave me the best compliment ever,"you're pastries are gooood Saucy - and I know coz I make mine from SCRATCH" Awww.

The makings of a cupcake

Just icing and cake yanno...













Then there's cookies for LIFE sendin these jokers all around the world lately




LOL...
---
I mean really how many times can he have asparagus...

Asparagus Parmesan Pasta to bring to work with leftover ribs




Last Gangsta Noodle for us at the crib...We've been workin' on emptying the fridge and pantry for the last week so all we had was nong shim noodle bowls, shrimp, asparagus, onion rings and herbs. Hence - Gangsta Noodles...

Ironically he wanted ramen instead of rice. haha




After Golf he usually just wants some kind of salad topped with Chicken or Steak






And then there's the "TACO THING" Any time of day, any day of the week and any kind of filling Mr. Man will eat Tacos! It's pretty bad - I keep 1lb of cooked taco beef filling at all times in the house for him and/or his random buddies that drop by. One time we had a bunch of left over fried chicken so I shredded and chopped it - threw it with garlic, onion, some ancho chili and oregano and shoved it in a taco and he was like,"DELISCIOUS" Hahahah

Start the Spanish Rice and then make the filling...




Make some salsa...garlic, onion, tomato, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, oregano and a little california chili powder and jalapeno...ta DA. If u gotta do store bought - get that HERDEZ and just add some el Pato.




Warm up the tortillas, add rice on the side, build the tacos and add chips. DONE






My mom always jokes,"your husband fell in love in the kitchen - he will not leave you he is TOO smart..." Hahahaha. He always says,"the kitchen lovin is only a small part of it - but i love that cookin BeBe..." Bwaa hahahhaha.

---

Then there is food for the Homies...to be honest I haven't taken hardly any food pics coz I'm on the move all the time or else I don't have the digi cam...but here's a sampling of it...

For Kzo and Brit...

Chicken Parmesan atop Penne Pasta and some Kzo Toast. LOL







and finish off the day with Choco Cupcakes and fresh Raspberries




Random meals also made for Wendy and the Mamas...










And for the Homies Home made Wontons with Ginger Beefy. Funniest thing i heard via Wendy..."We were leaving the club and mamas said,'i wish Saucy's was open 24 hours" LMFAOOOOOO.




Thanksgiving @ Easter for Country Momma - Just happy Faces...




Chef People do Collabo's too.

Me and Monica split duties on a baby shower - I had cookie duty...
They tasted pretty good - Lemon Butter cookies with little stewie style head...I was laughin when Monica said me and my Dad ate all the ones that no one took. I said whatchoo mean no one took - I made enough for everyone. She said,"well they din't take them and I didn't remind them either so me and my Dad could eat them..."

Hahahhaa.

Not bad for 2 sleep deprived Heffas...




Mr. Man saw me off in my sleepy haze




Just Fields of cookies...I didnt get a pic of the mini cookies...








---

Food is just an intrinsic part of my life now. Funny that even if I go weeks without seeing anyone I'll still cook big meals to "race myself" and see if I can knock out 6 dishes in 45 minutes (yeah, I still can)...Mr. Man wants to open a small 10 seater food joint next year - We'll see if we do it.

People really started eye molesting Mr. Mans lunches and suggesting that they would steal his lunches - so THIS guy started selling bagged lunches at work - chicken or beef on wheat, 1 oz of tortilla chips and a small choco chip cookie for 5 bucks. LOL - some days I'm makin 5-10 sandwhiches and it ends up payin for our groceries so it's okay.

People at my work still talk about the damn nacho bar I had for my sisters birthday last November - hahaha.

People still make "the face" when they eat any pastries I make...lol.

People tell me I can still fart magic and make something out of nothing...that was born of necessity in my broke days and growin up with a Mom that cooked for a living.

People always come over and say no no no don't make anything...Yeah right - that's not how I get down in my house

People always takin me out to eat.

People still hit me up for recipes online and I will give up a recipe any time - any place if I have what you want in my knowledge base.

People still lack that basic act of family getting together not only to break bread but to make bread together...I try to keep that alive in my house...

---

I've been told my game is on a different level...coz my man will even come home at halftime to eat and/or say HI. hahhaa. I've heard of some hoebags at the bar tellin Julian,"why you act like that....why are you such a dick to us" He's laughs and says,"coz I dont mess with ur kind - I got a WOMAN at home throwin down and doin her own thing..." Hoebag say,"oh she at home cookin or what???" as if it were negative...THEN his friends chime in,"noooo - she's COOOKIN -- like pshhh pssh pssh - makin saute noises - coz the girl gets down" Then they start retellin stories of what they eat or how I make them things on the fly and then go back to my own pursuits like 14 minutes later. haha.

Don't hate hoebags.

Hoebags make me laugh, with their sloppy behaviour, attention getting maneuvers, dirty toenails and a nasty ass toe ring...with their scuzzy fingernails and corny haircut and clothes and when their feet lift off their flipflops why the bottom of their feet black as TAR??? You wanna come at me try harder. That's why I don't go to the bar with Julian anymore. The last time I went I had to hit a mouthy tramp on a shoulder pressure point and knock her down while sitting down havin a soda. I warned her if I get up out this chair - it's gonna get ethnic in this mothuhfucka...

One time this HOE jokingly hit Mr. Man in the head...I approached her and calmly said,"the next time you hit my MOTHUHFUCKA in the HEAD...All this furniture is gonna get moved around and I'm fuckin you up on SIGHT" She said "sorry" I replied,"I know your ass is sorry - NEVER let that happen again..." After I left she asked all the homies (mixed races and creeds and all that),"Does she just hate white girls or what?" They laughed in her HOE face and said,"NO she just don't like YOUR dumb ass"


I'mma tell you this. I know for a fact you DUURTY hoes have given your man and my man food poisoning - LITERALLY - and you own nothing, have nothing do nothing hookers have the nerve to TRY and clown me coz I have a hearth. I also KNOW FOR A FACT - that your men have cheated on you repeatedly with some random knob slobbin hoes because they don't feel a damn thing for you except they want your half of the rent. I also know that you would jump on my Man if you could - but you can't coz his Momma already taught him - NO FLOOZIES IN THE HOUSE.

I love Haters....I've said this before and I'll say it Again...

"All your bullshit is just fertilizer for my success"

16 Aug 2009: When Sauce won't go to the Party - The party comes to Sauce

Sometimes Sauce Can't Party...

For the last year I've been balancing a lot of stuff and really don't have time to fart around and the only thing I usually did regularly was hit the Blunt or Carly's gig with Wendy --- but we have a LOT poppin and are taking a month off overseas in a bit. But Still...

My girls manage to come to me and make sure I don't get antisocial and online poker is my only activity...

April in the thick of a young marriage and law school will always call and text and even send me the dopest tshirts UPS. Hahahhha. Efficiency Mothuhfuckas!

Gya Popped by last night for a quick visit - I didn't have time to hook up a bomblettes this time as we are giving up this crib on the 20th and are off to Asia for a month then will buy a home in a month. I love Gya - she keeps it easy and she is a part of my foundation that I've built here in AZ. She is a solid reminded that even despite our beauty we keep it poppin...As I write this she is En Route to Milan Italy to do some performing (with my Hello Kitty Key in her pocket. haha)

Katie despite having a hard time and 2 jobs still manages to call and have coffee.

Kae is also holding 2 jobs, raising a daughter, has a new man and takes off to Europe but always stops to call and email...

My sisters and cousins are everpresent in keeping touch and dropping Love...

My 2 Monicas (1 here and 1 overseas) never let me fall off and keep me in orbit...Overseas Monica was an Art Director for one of the top 3 ad agency's and dropped her gig to become an independent food stylist for commercials and ads - we were friends in college and lost touch then got found via Face Book thanks to my little sister (I ain't down with the Face Book)...I will be spending a lot of time with her whilst in Asia. Arizona Monica is a bad chick I met from my brother who is not only fun and energetic...she is also creative and a chronic insomniac. She is also the only chick I know who will text u 911 and when u call thinkin she has flat on the freeway says,"Biotch - emergency --- shoes are 75% off at nordstrom rack, get your ass down here." Hahahha

Then there is Wendy Lee...Sometimes Wendy will do a drive by for 10 minutes and sometimes she will stay awhile...Sometimes people show up indirectly due to Wendy and were it not for Wendy I probably would have seen Konradio and Ali for another 6 months except for the 'stop to say hi' before a Tucson show. haha

It seems like no matter what we got poppin she's makin it fun...




Even if she sends me pics late...I still Lub her. haha
Best Cupcake Model EVER...




We got this new game in the last year
"I got u a SURPRIIIIISE" Hhaha sometimes it's a little something sometimes it's a big something...Even mr. Man started joining and got Wendy a tshirt that says "I put the MAN in roMANce. Hahahhha.

Below is Wendy with some HK key fobs I had to get her...




Wendy has an element of youth and energy that cannot be phazed by stress - economy - mofo's who ''ain't right" - But don't get it twisted it's all fun and games until u make her mad - and to be honest my favourite Wendy is "HELL NO" Wendy. Haha.

About 7 Sundays ago I called her in the morning and said I'm about to make a bomblette - come help me eat this...She said I have Ernz and Mamastrocity over. I said AND - bring everyone, it's just eggs. haha. She said they asleep - I said haha tell me when they wake up...She said I'll come and be back before they wake - but Ernz din't get caught sleepin he came for bomblettes. haha.

Really strange but it occurred to me that Ernz is SERV. I mentioned to Wendy - I REMEMBER SERV...he has that painting I fell in love with when I first met Julian...

SERV with KRS-One
---

A few weeks ago Wendy was en route to the Airport to pick up mr. T returning from South America and said I have to stop by, "I got u a SURPRIIIIISE"..I said just bring it after you get Tariq coz I made family dinner to welcome him home...She said NOOO I'mma bring it.

It's 115 outside and I'm cookin 3 dishes




Wendy Knocks...I open the door and BAM...she hits me with this...

"SURPRISE"




This picture just does it no justice. I included the vent so you could get an idea of how big it is. I was simply baffled that it was still available after over 2.5 yrs. Coz it's fantastic in any light. I was just floored. What a surprise!!! YAY me - YAY my friends.

This is why I keep bags of cookies about - to send lovin from the oven.

Jump to that weekend and we all meet for Sushi...One of the funnest sushi times ever for the price the sushi is very good at Takayamas and the service is always on hit...

Then last week she hit me with a text askin if we were gonna go see Redman/Methodman and Ghostface...I said NO - we're packin up the house gotta be outta here in 12 days. She said well...can we come by after I laughed...She said SERV has a surprise for YOU. I said OY - I owe him brownies too. Come by and call before you come - I'll start baking now and figure out something to make before u get here at midnight (beef and ham fried rice with egg is all we had in the fridge haha)

Then SERV hits me with this...




Tough right. I love it.

After the show - Wendy, Serv, Drew and Ysa ended up coming by and catching up over brownies, fried rice and beer while playin crazy rounds of Wheel of Fortune on the PS3 and bullshittin around past 4am - Mr. Man slept through the whole thing and entire conversations were happening in front of the bedroom door haha.

I just be in the house with mountains of boxes packed and ready to go and no matter what the house looks like - or what's in it or what I look like everyone always has good energy that comes into this joint...All of these people in my life are MAKERS of something - contributors to this life.

SERV and I were at the table talkin about our upbringing in family owned businesses and I said it's only natural that we became people who MAKE things regardless of the object...Wendy was killing the Wheel of Fortune in the living room and yelled out,"I don't make anythin."

I looked at her and said,"You make it HAPPEN"

SERV pointed at her and nodded.

'nuff sed.

08 Apr 2009: Brown on Brown Crime

So...today I'm sittin' there having lunch with my sister in the lunch room and we're just yappin' about this and that. This lady walks buy and my sister says 'hi' to her...I'm really not one that ones to make friends or even make loose acquaintances. It's kind of like if you wanna get to me you gotta talk to one of my primaries: my siblings &/or the Momma's (even then you aren't guaranteed), my immediate closest friends (see homies who don't have to call to come over), Mr. Man aka Afrosan, aka Julian (but if you aren't to my liking I'll just leave the room) --- outside of that I just go socially nonchalant.

Back to lunch. So she's makin chit chat and the lady says in Tagalog - oh you're Filipino. She then continues to ask in Filipino, where are you from --- which I don't think my sister heard correctly because my sister answered Country Momma's city location and country location. Instead of letting the conversation die at that point - my sister HAD to introduce me. EW. Then she adds, "yeah, this is my sister..." I smile and shake her hand.

Pleasant smile on my face and evil thoughts in my head.

Well this lady didn't stop - she looked me in my face and said,"ohhh you're filipino too - you don't look like it." My sister smiled nervously and said,"she is my big sister..." I could feel my sister twittering. Then she looked at my sister like my big brown ass was not seated there in my orange and cream plaid sundress and said,"she doesn't look filipino."

I stopped with a forkful of salad in front of my face and asked,"and what exactly do filipino's look like..."
Din't no one say shit then HUH.

Let me show you what a FILIPINO look like...


like this...with your foreuncles head in my forefathers hand



and this...

...I'm just sayin...lucky i didn't bust out all my cousins pics...and with the exception of Julian - everyone in these pics is Filipino in some way or part...So shuttup with that "she doesn't look filipino" Climb your DULL head out your LUMPY ass and get off that COLONIAL bullshit. We come in every form...dump that shit out your head lady...lucky for her she's inadvertently in laws with my girl - or i would have HAD that ASS with my lunch.

pffft.

Girl, I LOVE that you included our picture in there. I was just about to say my sister always gets looks when she tells people she's flip. Apparently, people think she looks way too intsik too be pinay. Then they look at Emily and they're really confuzzled. They always justify their confusion with, "Oh, she's only half." Yeah, bitches, but she still is and culturally she's ALL pinay.... attitude and appetite. You gotta see this baby girl kill a bowl of rice...LOL

Saucy

only half...my ass. These dull headed hoes don't know SHIT - almost every Filipino is broken down genetically to 1/16 of something ELSE. I took an ancient philippine history class and the instructor was already like 90 pointed at me and said,"THIS...is how a filipino should look---brown, proud, strong and irreverant of approval - not like the watered down colonial from intermarriage." That was the day I really started " feelin' " myself. Bwaa hahhaah.

I didn't put that hooker on DECK...because I was at work. That's all. You already know how I get down there is NO e-brake on my JAW. Having said that it ain't my fault I got a little soul train in my swagger. And I am one of your daddy's kids. I could have been your sister in law except dad told your brother about himself.
Remember - *wink*

J. " BIG SHANK " SINNED

I love all the beautiful pics you posted in this blog.




It's unbelievable that our own people can say the most ignorant shit. Pilipino looks can range from Spanish (mestizos) to Chinese (tsinoy) to Black etc. They should know that. I would expect that kind of response from someone outside our culture. You were right with saying "what does a filipino look like". I certainly do not look like your typical "Filipno", I'm 6'2 and 250lbs. I have a cousin who is 6'4 and other relatives that are big people, despite our parents being "pure" filipino and average sized.




Lack of intelligence, exposure, education, and ill breeding are probably why someone would make such a insensitive remark. People like that will never grow and it's sad that they don't know how ignorant and uninformed they really are. In life, you will come across many people like that. You just have to forgive their stupid asses. hahaha....
