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!

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...

Peace Love and Chicken Grease!

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

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..."
