Never knew cooking was so daring!

As I was copying recipes from my mother's recipe book, I came across a recipe for my favorite dessert. Look closely now:

Wow, and you can't even taste it! I wonder if you can get those at Safeway.

Another sad sad song...

...for all you sad sad people! No really, I kid... I just finished reading my daily dose of blog heaven and out of the 15 or so blogs that I am addicted to, 5 of them had something to do with relationships or the lack of a relationship or confusion about a relationship. Perhaps sometime in the near future (when Im not so hungry that my stomach is yelling at me or too tired to blink) I'll discuss it here further and maybe insert my own brand of wit and observation to my favorite topic. Loooovvve!

But for now, just listen to this and don't forget to smile! Because dammit, you deserve to!

Leona Lewis -- Better in Time

It's been the longest winter without you,
I didn't know where to turn to.
See, somehow I can't forget you.
After all that we've been thru.

Going, coming.
Thought I heard a knock.
Who's there? No one.
Thinking that I deserved it.
Now I realise that I really didn't know.
If you didn't notice you mean everything.
Quickly I'm learning to love again,
All I know is I'm gonna be ok.

Thought I couldn't live without you.
It's gonna hurt when it heals too.
It will all get better in time.
And even though I really love you,
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to.
It will all get better in time.

I couldn't turn on the TV,
Without something there to remind me.
Was it all that easy?
To just put aside your feelings.

If I'm dreaming, don't wanna laugh.
Hurt my feelings but that's the path I believe in.
And I know that time will heal it.
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything.
Quickly I'm learning to love again.
All I know is I'm gonna be ok.

Since there's no more you and me.
It's time I let you go, so I can be free.
And live my life how it should be.
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you.
Yes, I will!

I've heard them called "the funnies"...

Now that all the legal mumbo jumbo is out of the way, please feel free to "laugh out loud".

Oh, by the way, you have to scroll the comic to the right or click on it to go to the original website...I still haven't figured out how to stretch my screen to accomodate the whole damn thing, but once I do...LOOK OUT!

The Joy? of Cooking...

I felt the need to call attention to the fact that I...E from E-Deconstructed...cooked tonight!

Yes, COOKED. Not baked, but honest to God on the stove with pots and pans and cooking oil COOKED!

For 4 people...


By myself...


For the first time...EVER!


Its been 4 hours and no one has died yet, and no one (to my knowledge) has made a mad dash for the bathroom...And the house stands with nary a burn or singe to be found!

I consider it a mighty success.

Hooray for me!!!!

Another thing to jump up (jump up and get down... Oh c'mon!!! It's that one song from that one rap band from a long time ago!?? Nothing?? FINE!) and cheer for me about: I had a really nice day with a new friend yesterday. And guess what?!? He actually wants to see me again!

So here's to not sending another male packing his bags, cancelling credit cards, burning off fingerprints, running off to the hills screaming for their lives (and other such things that people who are trying to avoid other people like the plague do)...

*MINI WAVE FOR ME*

Stuff I now know, that I had not known before...Pt. 1

~Bourbon is Whiskey...except that it's charcoal filtered. Which apparently makes it better? Correct me please all you bourbon/whiskey drinkers. Does this mean I have no liquor sophistication because I don't like the taste of backyard grill in my drinks? Also, I hear that Scotch is also Whiskey except it's from Scotland.

~Apparently, in the movie "Some like it Hot!" (it's from the 50's) Marilyn Monroe is pushing a size 14! She still looks damn hot! And that famous white dress in "The 7 Year Itch"?? Size 10! Gives hope to all us full figured, non-stick thin girlies :) Now if I can only get away with the blonde hair I'll be good to go.

~Driving home from church today I see this on a sign at a dry cleaners: "Now till November, all wedding dressdrapes 50 percen toff". It's sad when disillusioned former brides have to pull a reverse Scarlett O'hara ala. Gone With the Wind and make drapes out of their wedding dresses. *shakes head*. Also reminds us that when it comes to public displays and signs, spacing is KEY!

~True story: 9 out of 10 men agree, if they were to wake up one day as a woman...they would never leave the house. Not out of embarassment or shock...but because they'd strip naked and stare at their boobs in front of the mirror all day. What happened to the 10th man? Gender reassignment.

To all Animal Lovers...

Not that I think more than 3.5 people read my blog on a daily basis, but this was for a good cause and I firmly believe in exponential growth.

"Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple… Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here’s the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/
PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS !!!"

p.s. The ".5" of 3.5 is Me. Since it's my blog I don't think it's fair to count me as a whole person :)

Non Blog...

I wanna be in love again darnit!!!

But guys (especially the one who unknowingly keeps pick-pick-pickin away at me) are such dillholes! MEN! Can't love em, can't get away with shootin em'.

[except of course for Mr. Anderson-I-presume...he gets it! Darn those dillholey girls too, huh C?! Bring me back a large alcoholic beverage from Vegas will ya? Put it in your carry on.]

GRRRR!!!!

There's no blog here. In fact, this is probably just a result of insomnia (it's 3am...who's surprised?? no one?? me neither!) and pms and I'll probably just end up taking this down in a few days anyway.

Do me a favor? If you read this (does anyone actually read this?) take some time off of your undoubtedly busy and rewarding lives to send me some love? Text, email, blog comment, note rubberbanded to a brick thrown thru my bedroom window? S'all good. Your kindheartedness will definitely be rewarded in heaven (or hell, depending on the kind of love you send me).

On and another thing.

I love this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cfahXQh-X8.

And this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kAUt3K1pPU. And yes, before you ask, I DO understand the song.

They're so hot and heavy...totally what I'd listen to while...well, ya know...procreating (in a dirty manner of course...none of that nandy-panby tears in your eyes because it was all so beautiful crap) with that special someone.

Is that weird?

Ok I'm done.
