The Famous Sausage and Peppers...

That is right! Ladies and Gents come one and come all...to the world of Carl where the food is great the drama is first class and well you get the point...

Today I made my famous sausage and peppers with a home made red sauce that is right no can food today...Sit back relax pull out your forks, pens and papers...Write it down take notes do what you need to do cause here we Goooooooooooooo.....

Well where to start so much to talk about lol...The Sausage is the only thing that came pre-made from the store I used about a pound of Italian style sausages...I cut them down into bite size pieces...I put a lil e.v.o.o in a pyrex baking tray put the sausage in and my trick for good crispy yummy sausage cover it while raw with garlic powder gives it a yummy garlic taste and crunch to that skin on the sausages...let that bake till cooked on 350/400...

In a skillet I sauteed onions garlic and peppers i added tomatoes to it seasons it up with oregano savory salt pepper a little sugar bay leaf and let that simmer while the mean cooked...till the tomatoes cooked out into a chunky sauce...omfg delicious...while all that was cooking again I asked Andre to make his famous rice and he did...made a perfect meal no way to top it...

I can not say I ever made it this good making the home made sauce is so much better then the canned stuff I am shocked and amazed, I have made it so many different ways but this tops them all I hope you all make it soon or one day try it on your own...If I can get one of you to try this I have succeeded in my mission of you trying something new and delicious...

Well, I have to say thank god it was in the budget to make it cause I have been craving it forever!  So I hope you enjoyed the look and if you cook it the taste of this stuff...  one day you just might....Well you all know what I say...Until next time...

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

Beanies and Weenies...

Well I did not blog last night cause I decided to go easy and just make hot dogs but they were so good I had to blog about them anyway...Not only did we have hot dogs but chips mine came from the store "Lay's Salt N Vinegar"  and we also had baked beans which came from a can but I doctored them up to make them taste home made and I also sauteed onions for the hot dogs and crisp ones for the top of my beans....

My hot dogs were Hebrew Nationals, which I love but I do not understand why they only give you 7 per pack OK they make 8 buns and 7 dogs not good marketing if you ask me...but delicious!

My Beans came out fabulous like I said I doctored them up, they were caned Bush's onion flavored baked beans I added a little mustard and sugar and as you can see I made some crispy onions for the top which brought it to perfection...How do you make you beans I would love to know some people i hear use apples and bacon and some people just eat them right out of a can...how do you like yours?  I would love to hear...

So until tonight make something that will get you smiling...HUGS!

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

Meat and Potatoes...Hmmmm...

Well I was totally inspired to cook this meal after watching food network this morning being they are doing comfort food weekend so I made one of my favorite comfort foods..Meatloaf and Potatoes with of course my twist not like everyone elses moms meatloaf its mine all mine!  LOL lots of local fresh ingredients and well love and time from my heart...so lets see what you think of what I made...send me COMMENTS!  Now on with I did exactly...lol  here we go...

Meatloaf yummy...I took ground beef and left over chorizo I finely chopped 2 slices of onion 4 garlic cloves yellow pepper and orange pepper salt pepper egg ketchup and i didnt use bread crumbs i used mashed potato flakes...lol yes that is correct...i said it instant potatoes lol I was out of bread crumbs so had to find something to bind it...well i mixed allt hat together well and then into the pan in the oven and baked for about 45 minutes on 350 degrees and it came out perfect juicy and delicious...try it next time no bread crumbs use the potato flakes lol its a great trick and holds moisture better then the bread crumbs i glazed the out side with a little worcestershire sauce and ketchup and let it caramelize DELICIOUS!!!!!

On to the potatoes which I have to give credit to my mother-in-law she made something similar I can never duplicate them and she said she doesn't do recipes so I tried to break it down...I took mini red potatos cut them in half then boiled them....till soft...I added garlic and red onion diced small and finely and cilantro I added olive oil and a little apple cider vinegar   salt and pepper...I mixed it well and then let them sit and cool to room temp together to allow the potatoes to soak up all the flavor and I must say "HELLO WHY AREN'T COOKING THIS NOW?"  They are so good makes you want to know why you were missing these and want to hit someone...lol They are truly that great...Well another day has gone by and less stress for once and I am glad for that and to end it with a great meal...I did cheat for dessert though I had Little Debbies Zebra Cakes LOL I know a cheat but I had to they are so good...

Well until tomorrow enjoy your food and take the time to invest in making it great...

AM I WORTH BEING A FRIEND?

I have been so excited for the last 2 months, a dear friend of mine was moving back to the state I live in and how exciting was it that she was going to stop by and see me on her way to her new home cause I was on the way...I have not see her in almost 15 years. I guess I should have know better then to trust the word of someone I thought I knew, maybe wishful thinking and loneliness helped me with the desire to want to see her so bad and her family now she is a mom and her kids seemed so awesome when we would be on the phone for hours a day...

Your not showing up answering my text or calls allows me to know how you fell about me as a whole but seriously why do that?  If you are not going to make it or come by just say so no need to leave me feeling like I do not deserve to be a friend...I wish nothing but happiness for you and your family I always have your back in all conversations even if I feel your wrong...What did I do?  I talked to you this morning at 7am and you should be here by now...and yet still nothing...Well I give up maybe I am just destined to be friendless and not worth being around...I hope you my readers never have to go through that...It hurts more then you know to feel like you have been kicked in the chest...and then laughed at while you were down...I hope one day my friend calls me and tells me she is okay and that she is not hurt and that the kids are fine...she made it safely to her destination and that she was sorry she had to make it faster then normal or something happened and she couldn't stop...but until then thank you for being a friend to me when I needed it and thank you for the laughs and tears and even the sleepless nights...I hope you are safe in the world and I pray you are all okay...

WW3 wages on...HAHAHAHA

WOW, you tune in today for another episode of "As our stomach turns, these are the gays of our lives..." Look here yall his old dirty nasty ass lost his keys so now he is not only nasty and dirty but senile to boot, great we got crazies among us now...Well he didn't mess with me this morning but it makes me wonder should i fuck with him? I mean after all he did put that dirty nasty mean infested shit in front of my door to make me ill...LOL

So...what do you all think?  Bottle rockets in the hole or fire crakers?  hahahahaha I am so evil I would love to watch his mean and surly ass jump out of his bed and run like someone was shooting at him...hahahaha  So you as my avid readers tell me what do you think?  hmmmmmmmm

Why would it look like this unless someone took the lock off cause they lost their keys?  my complex charges $50 lost key replacement fee I wonder whats going to happen when the man comes down stairs cause remember I have an employee of the complex who lives above me...

So ladies and gets tune in tomorrow or later today to see what comes of this 1am raid on his front door...I think this old bastard needs to just pack his shit and move...I am so tired of smelling burned fish cause he can not cook and omfg whats with setting his apartment on fire every other night...I am scared HOLD ME!!!

Until then Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

I think your full of bologna!

Okay, well I made dinner early tonight, I am so excited to say this dinner is dedicated to my Mom and my dear friends Deanna & Erica...

My mom growing up used to have to make ends meat by buying a lot of condensed soups and stuff for us to eat cause it was cheap and warm and filled us up on cool South Florida nights...So I did what she used to do make the soup and doctor it up with a few things to make it taste better...I added a little pepper rosemary and thyme and followed the directions on the Campbell's soup can, not only was it amazing but it tasted like home if you know what I mean...I miss the simple things sometimes so this one was for you Mom...I know you in heaven smiling cause you taught me right!

This next one goes out to my dear and close friends Deanna & Erica, even though you both do not know each other you both have a thing for grilled cheese with bologna and I had to give you both a shot out here...I wanted plane old grilled cheese but then I said "hmmm I am feeling a little dangerous." lol So, I used my bologna to make it better...As you can see from the gooey cheese oozing out the side over the bologna it was made with love and you know how much love it was when it went down so quickly..LOL  I do not use butter I used Country Crock Spread to make mine, it tends to leave a real crispness to it so I do not fix what is not broken...

So to all my adoring fans I have plans on making a few things some of you had suggested but when the budget allows...so keep reading and if you have any recipes you want me to try send them to my email  E-MAIL subject "recipe for blog" and I will do what I can when the time allows....

I hope tonight you all run to your fridge and whip up something wonderful simple is always easy and delicious...

Until next time Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

RANT TIME!!!! BUCKLE UP BITCHES!

OMFG I know I just posted about last nght dinner but I have to go on to this post because it happened among my being upset and I didn't get a chance to blog about it...So here we go...You all remember the nasty dirty old man from across the hall?  Well he officially started WW3 with me...and as most of you my avid readers know...I am one to hold a serious grudge...So lets g et the story rolling before me the Official Drama Queen gets started on something else...

So the other day I woke up early to take my dog out side cause he had to go he was whining....so Andre and myself decided to go out and walk him...As we open the door my dog went running for this package on the floor pressed up against my door wrapped in foil it was something rotten of course with some kind of cake put on top...it was a meat mixture...so here is a photo of that nasty stuff...So we thought maybe my neighbor upstairs had dropped it taking out his trash until we looked up and saw on my neighbors door across the hall a letter on his door to all of us his neighbors...

Finally he decided to get rid of his bugs!  YAY!  however why would you put that nasty shit in front of my door unless you wanted to get them to go into my apartment thinking they would run to it...OK ASSHOLE!  Now its time for me to get mad!  So I had some facial masks doctors wear from when I was in the hospital I saved some I noticed his door was open, so I went into his newly clean apartment and opened all the windows letting the roach bombs and poison go out the windows...lol he was gone all day so it was pretty easy...well as pay back lets just say my dog Buddy had fun in his apartment...I let him in after 2 hours of airing it out and lets just say he did his business and thats all she wrote...Well 3 hours later when he got home he decided to call the police wanting to know why or who broke into his apartment...well I got a knock at the door and guess who Lake City Police...LOL God love these southern women...so I told her he has been harassing me and my neighbor upstairs vouched for that and the cop giggled stayed for some sweet tea and then said her fair wells and off she went like a fart in the wind...So now I am sure this is the calm before the store cause this happened a few days ago...But, we will see I am praying he stops his crap now and gets with it, I filed a letter with my complex and there was a notice posted on his door for a fine of $150 for leaving garbage in the hallways...cause I gave them a picture of the pink crap with meat in it...So Old dirty nasty man across the hall...I hope you learned your lesson NEVER MESS WITH A FAG!  We are vicious and mean!  Can be you best friend or your enemy...So until next time you old bastard...I won this battle but the war still wages on!!

Tune in next time for more of "As our stomach turns, these are the gays of our lives..."

Perfection on a Plate!

 Well I did not forget about you guys last night, but I have been having a rough few days with the loss of a dear friend...so I did cook last night I made chicken broccoli mushroom alfredo served over ricotta stuffed spinach tortellini was delicious I wish you guys would have all been here for dinner I made way to much and well lets just say i got plenty in the freezer for another few nights worth of dinner...

So lets get started on breaking it down for you all so you can make your own or so you can get to the store and be inspired to make something for yourselves!!!  HERE WE GO!

Well we started off with sheets of spinach pasta ( i bought a tortellini maker at tj maxx) my ricotta filling is simple just ricotta and some fresh garlic minced down...then you boil it till its tender for you the sheets of pasta I bought at the local grocery store...they looked like green wanton wrappers lol...as far as my sauce goes that was a little tricky, first in a frying pan i sauteed the onions mushrooms peppers broccoli garlic in some e.v.o.o. the i drained out the extra oil...in the same pan I put heavy cream and lots of Parmesan cheese adding some salt pepper and sugar to taste keep it on a low light so it didn't curdle...then in my grill pan i cooked a chicken breast rill perfect with a little salt and pepper nothing more then i shredded it with 2 forks added it to the vegie mix and then added all that to the sauce poured it over my pastas and THERE YOU GO!  perfect chicken broccoli mushroom alfredo with peppers onion and garlic...Was a meal fit for a king...or QUEEN!  LOL

Well I hope you are inspired to cook for your loved ones or for yourselves...Until nest time keep you kitchens clean and you hunger under control...

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

Chori-zo DELICIOUS!

WOW!  I never thought I would say I could give Julia Childs a run for her money...I love Julia but she NEVER cooked like this!

I have to say this dish was inspired by a dear friend of mine named Roly...he talked about this special delicious sausage I have had before but never in a manor of the star of a dish!  So my darling sister gurl Roly...this is for you!  Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Tonights dish was simple yet special...It had all kinds of stuff in it so lets break it down so you all can make it for you selves...

I started out with a pot of white rice...In the frying pan I sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms, broccoli, cilantro salt pepper sason all in some e.v.o.o then i added the CHORIZO! YUMMY...for those of you who do not know what it is...Its a Spanish style sausage with a hint of spice and delicious I will be making this again...Well after it browned, I added it to the rice and stirred it all together making a one potter out of it to flavor the rice...SIMPLE!  Now I am sure you see white stuff on top but it is not and I promise you not Dandruff it is however its called "Queso Fresco" aka Mexican crumbling cheese for those of you who who do not know its like Feta cheese but no where near as salty and tastes much better I think I found my new favorite crumbling cheese...

So tonights dinner was a success but I do need to apologize to a few of my readers...I have not been blogging because I ate out one night and the other night I made a frozen pizza LOL...So, now I am making it up to you!

Also you can now COMMENT with out having to sign up or in...I set it up this way so please when you comment on my blogs let me know who you are so I can say hello and thank you!

Until tomorrow...

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

"I am ready for my close you Mr. DeMille."

So this morning I wake up to find more drama just knocking at my door...why does it have to happen to me and the people I know?  LOL So there was a knock at my door this morning it was the girl who works in my office named "Farryn."  She was so scared and worried cause she had lost a key to one of the showing apartments and wanted to know if she could show someone my apartment cause she couldnt get into the one next door...I was like "umm no" so she started screaming like a wild woman there was a car coming up the road and this drama queen go and stands in the street like she wants to get hit...Well it turns out the Manager of the complex told her is she messes up again she will be for the lack of better words "fired."  Well, poor Miss Farryn she needs to get her head right so I asked the manager if she could take 5 minutes and just take a breather cause they were all out side my building fighting and I am so sick of hearing people go back and forth all the time...well he said yes, so I told her to come sit down and relax and as she does she starts taking notes in her little book I asked her what she was writing...lol (you know me I am nosy as hell) Well, it turns out she was writing a list of things she found wrong in my apartment and why she would never ask me to show my place again well the #1 reason on her list was my tv wasn't on a stand i have it on my coffee table...I was like wtf now I was getting offended...

.So I asked her to leave she giggled and said thanks for the sit down but I have been throw out of better places...now if you know me in person my head tilted like a dog and my ears perked up like this picture here...And I told her ass to get the fuck out of my house and go back to sucking the bosses dick cause she seemed to be good at that...well thats the rumor anyways...lol

Well less then 10 minutes later I got the boss the manager knocking on my door asking me why I would imply such a thing he is married...I am like seriously?  I shut the door in his face...Well that was just what I wanted my day to start off as, so I could not let that go...you know me so I went online found a sign as you see here posted to the left...and gave it to the other property manager who I wont name here and she posted it in their office doors for ma little note attached saying "Don't fuck with me I know your wife!"

So todays drama is over I hope lets pray no more comes of it...tune in next week for more"As our stomach turns these are the gays of our lives..."

Okay seriously....

So, how do we discuss this?  seriously for those of you who do not need to worry about your budget lol...you will never have to worry about this...I today realized that we were running out of toilet paper so we only had a few dollars so I asked Andre to get a 4 pack of angel soft which is like $2 at the local market but he came home with this...gloating about how he saved some money and I was like Dumb founded!  He spent $1.19 on this...now I got a lot of booty to wipe so this is going to be tricky as hell...not to mention hard cause this stuff is thin like truck stop toilet paper thin...and i don't want to get poo on my fingers...LOL So, now every time I sit down until Monday to go poop I am going to be nick naming myself poo wad...LMFAO for fear I am going to get a wad of poo on my finger tips ewwwwwwww... seriously I love you baby but next time the 81 cents is well worth the non-poopy fingers...LOL not to mention my poor dog got cheap store brand food lol not that its bad just i hope he eats it...lol after his bacon escapade this week...So all in all an eventful night around here I hope you all have better luck in the pooper then I do lol Value Time...more like Time to invest in dial anti-bacterial soap....SAVE ME!  Seriously...anyone?  lol

Why me? WHY ME?

Okay so I got woken up this morning to all kinds of love and goodies at 7am my hubby leaves for work which was awesome he woke me up saying bye and kissing me...well I decided to come online to just check my FarmVille and yes I am a FarmVille addict and I need rehab...but i said no no no...LOL

Well I get on Facebook and after a day yesterday of hair splitting drama that would make the Pope himself weep, it continued on with receiving message after message after message of someone playing the victim roll why me why me boo hoo someone please tell me why me...I am so FUCKING OVER IT!  I do not know how many time I have to tell someone I am done with your friendship and please remove me until they get it...well I checked they removed me but the messages keep coming, I mean I know there is a block feature but it is kind of like Howard Stearn you listen only to see what they will say next....LOL I know I am a drama queen and maybe I am asking for trouble but I am done so I sent this long email to them in hopes they find a way to get over it and stop messaging me...How many of you out there have actually told someone to leave you alone and then it turns out they just linger around like a fart in hopes you will still love them like a lost puppy...

 

WHY ME!!!! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

I used to get told the sun does not rise and set in the crack of my ass but it seem with this one it does how do I shake it?  I mean I would pray that they get the point but I need to know in case they do not how do I get rid of someone who just wont go away with out blocking them?  I really need to figure this out so if you my avid readers have any advice this morning over coffee lets talk about it I would really like to know!!  Well, as Sookie Sanchez said on the princess diaries "Hope your day is sunny side up!"

Hope you have a better morning then I have had!  See you all tonight, I am craving pork so we will see whats for dinner later tonight I am not in the mood to go raid my freezer at the moment...LOL

Until tonight remember, in the famous words of Ivana Trump "Don't get mad, get everything!"

LATER!

Shrimp and Potatoes?

 I have to say after tonights dinner I think I belong in the cooking hall of fame...I made shrimp this evening and wow is all i can say...As you see here pictured to the left is just one of the photos I will be posting this evening. Dinner tonight was so good it deserves more then one photo of each thing I made being that a picture is worth a thousand words well tonight they are worth a few million...I have to say I wasn't in the mood to cook tonight but that changed when I walked into the kitchen and saw the shrimp defrosting...lol

As you can also see I make my delicious home made fries...sadly I didn't have any e.v.o.o. so I had to use vegetable oil and I had to barrow that from a neighbor lol TY MATT AND AMBER!  I need to go shopping on Monday when I have the chance and money...Well they still came out awesome cause I made them with love and the perfect seasoning as always lol I am also starting to figure out the trick of taking good photos with my digi cam...tell me what you think of the new photos and how I took them...I would appreciate it very much!

 The shrimp were very easy to make I put some butter in the pan let that brown a little then I threw in the shrimp, garlic green onions and cilantro, then I added salt pepper cumin sason and a little cayenne pepper for kick and 2 table spoons of ketchup believe it or not I added it because I was our of my diced tomatoes...but the sweetness and vinegar in the ketchup gave it a great sweetness to it and a wonderful tomato flavor which made it perfect...never knock it till you try it!!  IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!! I also added a few herbs, some Savory and some basil and some onion powder to give it a hint of solid onion...was GREAT!!!

now my fries are the same as always I never change this recipe cause I love them so much and hot they taste....so for a quick reminder I slice down potatoes put a table spoon of oil in a 9"x13" pan then I use salt pepper onion powder garlic powder cayenne pepper and a sason pack which is a variety of things in it you would have to call them and ask them...lol I am not 100% sure but its YUMMY on anything!  bake them till golden brown and then serve hot I like mine a little crispy so i put them under the broiler after tehy are cooked to get them really crispy but thats my trick don't tell anyone!  shhhhhhh...

Well that is my dinner for tonight I really hope you get a chance to try it or make it for yourself so you can understand why I say it is one for the books cause it really is!  I hope you all had a good dinner tonight as well, drop me a email or comment on here or facebook this way you can tell me what you made if you want me to make something you love drop me a recipe and I will plan it into my meals for the week!  Hope to hear from you all soon!  HUGS!

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

Bologna!

Where to start about this miracle meat...I have to say I love me some bologna, I know sounds so nasty epically after how I cook, but where to start nothing like like it with a little mayo and mustard...sometimes I crave it and it makes me feel so nasty..It is not the healthiest of meats cause god only knows what really goes into it but slap it between 2 pieces of bread and you got your self a meal fit for a king...

Now I know some of you are sitting there lying to yourselves thinking "ewwwww, bologna is gross" but please you know you love it just admit it to yourself and say hey hes right!  CAUSE I AM!   Soooooo, now that you heard it from me its okay go enjoy your cheap $1.50 pack of bologna and eat it...ENJOY!  I know I will!

After a long day...

 Well after my day today I thought tonights dinner should be something old world style something easy to make yet delicious on the pallet and yummy for the tummy...I am sure a lot of you make a typical meat sauce but this wasn't just any meat sauce I made it with love and the best part of all it was made to perfection...how many of you can say that?  HA!

We started off with the best possible pasta Rotini...Store brand...lol I know it sounds very strange and odd but I find the store bought dry pastas are more delicious then the ones you can get fresh or

 even the ones you can get name brand dry, I have to say they are made better or at least I think so...Now on to the red sauce, I know many of you make home made but not me my secret is to find a good cheap one and then doctor it...so as Sandra Lee on Food Networks show is titled "Semi-Homemade."  I happen to enjoy the "Hunts" sauce you can get for like $1.25 a can.  The secret to any sauce is the stuff you put into them i start out with fresh herbs and onion and garlic cooked down sometimes I use peppers, then of course once they have softened add your meat no matter the kind some people use

ground beef others use pork or turkey even sausage...brown it no matter what it is...then add the can or jar of sauce, once you have done that make sure you turn the light down and cook for a while I always add a table spoon of sugar it cuts the acid in the tomato sauce down so it isn't BAM heart burn city!

Then make sure you pasta is cooked to your liking doesn't matter what kind you like...always save a little of the pasta water for u can add it later I say about a cup just in case...

Once the pasta is cooked and done drain the water out in a colander then put into a bowl or back into the pot , add the sauce and about 1/4 cup of pasta water helps the sauce stick to the pasta the starch in the water...great trick...then turn the heat back on for a few minutes turning pasta a few times to let the sauce soak into the pasta and let it all cook together delicious....and then...serve!  I promise you add a salad and some garlic bread your family will be in heaven I know mine was!

Well all my hungry fans out there in blog land I hope this helped you make a yummy dinner! I recommend a bottle of red wine and some great company and you have an amazing night with friends over a cheap yet delicious meal!!

Happy Cooking!

Tune in tomorrow when I think it is Shrimp night I think I might make shrimp jambalaya YUMMY get your taste buds ready...SEE YOU THEN!

I LIVE IN THE PSYCH-WARD!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

My neighbor upstairs is the maintenance man for my complex his name is Matt, you know I noticed people hounding him all hours of the day and night...last night I was laying in my bed and I heard the door to my building being open and closed open and closed well that was one of the dumb ass other neighbors we have who will remain nameless...this bitch her dog shit on her rug and i guess had the hershey squirts and she wanted him at 2am to come clean her rug...I was like are you fucking kidding me?  seriously lady go to Wal-Mart and rent you a rug doctor...all you kept hearing her say was my dog my dog my dog...lol I walked outside and told her to shut the fuck up she was bothering me...

Well this morning the cops were everywhere in my complex and I got a knock at the door about 3pm so for me about a hour ago asking me if I knew this lady and if I knew how she treated her family...I told the officer who was sexy beyond belief, I knew her from last night he said please explain...I told him she was hounding my neighbor the maintenance man up stairs for a rug cleaner cause her dog shit everywhere, he giggled and said it was a lot more then shit...I was like great...

But then I thought why was a cop knocking on my door asking me about a dog and her asking for a carpet cleaner...well it turns out this bitch went postal and killed her 2 dogs the maintenance team went to go check on her after her 2am attack on my building...she got so mad she stabbed them over and over the cop said till there was nothing but fur and ground beef looking stuff everywhere I started to gag...I took myself slowly into my apartment and locked my doors all my windows and hugged my dog...I was like what the fuck was this woman thinking...

I guess the fumes from the dog shit made her do it...my neighbor told me this afternoon she has had mental issues and was recently out of a home due to a break down...WOW and they let people like this out in the world well she is officially a resident of the state now and is not going to be let go lol they put her in a psych jail pending an evaluation which I am sure she won't pass...Scary not knowing who your neighbors are till its to late I loved those little dogs she had a poodle and a mini pincher great dogs both loving and playful may they rest in peace as their mother rots in jail the psycho bitch!

BE CAREFUL OF THE ONES YOU THINK ARE NICE!

What I cooked this evening...

Okay where to start?  Tonights dinner was delicious beyond words...I did have some help I must thank Andre for making the infused rice which came out YUMMY a little salty but DELICIOUS! White rice but while it was cooking he added fresh garlic cilantro salt pepper and butter OMFG it was to die for thank you my love...

I made the black beans as always they came out okay I didn't make them in a crock pot like my mother in laws and hers are the best...but I slow cooked mine on the stove top with fresh garlic and onions cilantro salt pepper and cumin 2 bay leafs and a little sason...
But the star of tonights dish was the pork chops displayed on top of he rice in this picture they were juicy cooked in a lil e.v.o.o. with onions salt pepper garlic cilantro and the rest of the sason pack all I can say is wow tonights dinner was so delicious it should be submitted to the Culinary Arts Academy...for study and then to be taught to others so they can find their way in the world of delicious foods...

While watching dinner tonight I watched my favorite TV show Top Chef on Bravo TV I had to say watching them cook in Target lin the middle of the night I could never do that I admire you guys...I do have to say good by to Angelo he wont be very missed he is to wanna be boojetto for me...But CARLA I LOVE YOU!  I love that lady she is so funny and I love how she cooks one day I hope to meet you...and Tiffany too although I think I already know her but thats a story for another day...lol

Well tune in tomorrow and see what I have instore for you guys then...Until then Much love to you all and remember if you can not enjoy your food why live?  Its the best thing you do 3 times a day if not more for some of you...LOVE IT!  Be Passionate about ti, your taste buds should soar not sink or swim...lol I love you guys!  see you soon!

Umm ya how do I react to this?

 This is what gets me my dog finds a way to cuddle with his "Baby"...lol not that I mind I think it is so cute I woke up to this...I walk into my living room to get to the kitchen and to my shock and dismay hes is all cuddled up like its his lover lol...I had to ask myself, "OMFG Did I cause this?"  Being I gave him the stuffed animal...now he has has this thing for years and this is the first time I have ever seen him do something like this...its strangely odd but yet do damn cute...Buddy is my dogs name...So now we call them Buddy and the Babe...LOL

Is it rude to make fun of your dog?  He is 14 years old and I am guessing with his old age he is turning a new lease on life.  I say you go Buddy...I love you no matter what your sexual orientation is...Stuffed Animal?  lol

So for those of you out there who do not know your animals sexual orientation wait a few years to see if they open up to you I am sure they will...Love them no matter what cause they need it trust me they do I am going to help him get through this awkward stage and into a sense of normality...

LOLOLOLOLOL

The morning grind!

Well today I woke up and all I could think about this this website that has 8 letters to its name, what happened to waking up and thinking about coffee or walking the dog or even what is for breakfast, not anymore the social networks have become something I do not think even the designers thought it would be it is so funny.  I log into my account to worry more if my crops have withered on a game I play there more then going to the market to get crops to eat lol...

When does it change?  I said screw it I might as well go with it, I used to fight about joining this sight a good friend of mine talked me into joining, I was a member of a different site and now I am more addicted to this one they I was even to my ciggs I used to smoke...hell I quit those lol...

Inspired by someone special...

WOW, tonights dinner was awesome!  I was inspired by my mother-in-law and her yummy one pot dishes she does I went through my fridge and this is what I came up with!!

It was chicken breast cut down into chunks with onion garlic cilantro tomato sauce salt pepper cumin sason and some other seasonings I threw in I know you all want to know but sometimes you just have to put your spin on things and again I made yellow rice but it was different very delicious.  I would have to say everyday I am putting dishes together that I would call restaurant quality with the budget of a homeless man lol not a lot to it really, I want to inspire you all to just go into your fridge and find things that you can just throw into a pot or a pan and make in 30 minutes and think to yourself, "WOW, I can't believe I cooked this!"

Trust me anyone can make an amazing delicious dish tomorrow night you will see I am going to make something for the record books and you will know what i am talking about...stay tuned to see what comes next in the life of me and more great food ideas...if you have any comments or suggestions for me to cook let me know in the coming weeks you are going to see some of my favorite dishes stuffed peppers sausage and peppers and more...but drop me some idea would love to hear from you guys...anyone?

OMFG Okay I woke up this evening to find out all kinds of information about this scary looking thing...this happens to be my best friends boyfriends sister who openly attacked her making her fell really small and bad about herself what the hell was she thinking?  I am guessing she didn't realize that my best friend had a loud mouth fag as a wing man...

Dinner last night...

I made these awesome burgers last night garlic and cilantro ground beef i pan fried them...grilled onions YUMMY!  You all know how I feel about my onions and garlic...the more the BETTER! Also you have to grill your buns...a little butter face down on a grill pad...As you can see I also made my famous home made fries baked in the oven...season as you want i like mine spicy and garlicy and salty!

We also had dessert but I didn't cook it so I did not take a photo of it, I know sad I love to make desserts too maybe today I will try something you never know!

Well yesterdays events were something else I will be back later today with whatever is going on in my life...HUGS to you all!!!  KISS KISS!

Smokey the Bear vs Magilla Gorilla!

To my shock and dismay I got thrown into the mix of a fight last night on facebook...low and behold my best friend of almost 15 years and someone I know from online a few years now who i considered a friend....

I woke up this morning to read messages between the 2 of them that started out cause the one we will call Magilla said something to my friend who we will call Smokey, about me when I wasn't around in a pvt conversation, I confront Magilla and then Magilla decided to call Smokey a liar and that was all she wrote, I have never seen Smokey the Bear say some of the thing he said in my life...WOW is all I could say, Magilla I am sorry to say but this was a T.K.O. you got knocked the fuck out and didn't even know it!

Sadly I feel as if there was no reason for the fight other then owning what you say...a dear friend of mine who can no long talk used to tell me "What you do in the darkness comes to light!" Theresa I love you and you were never so right!

I am honestly glad to say my friendship with Smokey was untarnished by Magilla even though that is what it seems like the intention was, If you want to talk shit please have the set of balls that we know god gave ya, ya beastly bitch and come to me and say it...I have no reason to hide anything from you...god knows I already told you how I felt but maybe this will give you some more insight on it all...

To my friends who read my blog you know Magilla very well and I am sorry to say that I will no longer be apart of the over dramatic post adolescent idealistic phase BS any more!

GROW UP!

Smokey you got my vote for Presidency!  SMOKEY FOR 2012!  Ms Palin, get ready to be knocked on you moose looking ass!  SMOKEYS IN TOWN!  huff on that!

Tune in tonight for more as our stomach turns these are the gays of our lives....
