can haz?

Who wants summer back? Raise them hands in the air!


I miss my old life really hard sometimes.


Not to say my current life is bad. It isn't, it's actually quite swell. I just miss certain feelings and smells and routines. I haven't quite found my groove yet in my new place. Still trying to put together my bedroom (if anyone out there has any old furniture i.e. bookshelves, tables, lamps that they want to give me, please, holler at me) and its hard without proper funds and creative mind.
Hey Sarah, i'll pay you in burritos if you fly out here and arrange my house in a cozy fashion.

I stayed at my parents house last night. It did feel grand and safe and for a moment I missed that security too. Knowing that my dad is upstairs *sleeping* just gives me this sense of peace. Like nothing can go wrong when I am there. What can I say? They built a home on love and comfort and friendship. Someday i'll have my own, I hope :) So thanks for letting me stay guys. I know I can obviously come stay anytime I want but it felt good when you begged a little hehe.

Remember when I asked how it was possible to misplace a cat? Well don't worry (I know you were losing sleep over this) because I found him. Elton was in the closet INSIDE of a suitcase just chillin, kickin it, hanging out by his lonesome. I bet he was all sorts of thrilled to have found such a bad ass hiding spot. Ha! Even mom cant find me here! So of course I zipped up the suitcase and we are trying to block the door with a giant mirror. That's right folks, Elton has come out of the closet once and for all.

What does it even mean to say once and for all?

to be or not to be

I have come to a crossroads in my life. I debated whether I should bring it up with you guys, tossed the idea around in my head but I have decided I must get your advice.
I realize today I have to ask myself something very serious. A question of epic proportions. A question that may or may not change the course of my life. A questions where, in a perfect world, there would never be a need for it.
You wanna know what it is don't you?

  • Pad Thai
  • Miso Soup
  • Kung Pao
  • Sweet and sour Chikn
  • Spring rolls
  • Wontons
  • Hot and Sour Soup
  • Vegetable Tempura
  • Udon Noodles
  • Fried Rice

You get the point.


Is it possible for me to love someone who doesn't appreciate Asian Cuisine?

return of the undead, to me.

I watched Resident Evil: Extinction and Oh. MY. Gosh. It was freaking awesome. It had been a really long time since i'd watched a new flesh eating flick. Milla Jovovich is a bad ass with a machete. I know none of you will ever watch it but I still just had to give it 5 stars and both thumbs up.



How do you misplace a cat?

breakthrough

Not last night but the night before I did something that... I never imagined I would do in my entire life. I made this recipe right here and as you can see it calls for an absurd amount of onions. Normally when im recipe browsing I just skip over nonsense like this but I couldn't... I had to eat these.

So I'm just here to tell you guys that for the first time ever in my life I willingly allowed onions to be placed inside my meal. They were chopped finely. Very very fine. And then sauteed to make them like mush.

Anyway, if you know me, you know that its kind of big deal.

only 3 cloves

KC likes to tease me about how much garlic I wanted to put in our mashed potatoes one time. I was suggesting 3 or 4 cloves and everyone just laughed at me. Apparently my family just doesn't enjoy garlic the way I do. Or maybe they don't enjoy smelling funny for a few days after a delicious meal. Either way, my 4 clove suggestion was over ridden.

BUT now that I live on my own I can put as much damn garlic in my taters as I please. I cook almost everything with garlic infused oil. Last night was magical as I boiled my baby reds (with the skin on) with a clove of garlic in the pot. Then once they were tender I chopped up a couple more cloves of garlic and mushed those babies up with some soy milk and earth balance "butter" and my goodness they were satisfying. In addition to my taters I pan fried some sesame peanut marinaded tofu. I also had my first go at brussel sprouts. I was a little nervous because i've never eaten or cooked them in my life but I love me some vegetables and most people rave about how tasty and simple these babies are. And people are right! Lisa found a recipe for me and I dont remember where she got it, nor do I recall if I followed it correctly. Basically just trim up the brussels and cut them in half. Dip the flat side of each half in olive oil and pan fry them. Sprinkle with some salt. I used garlic sea salt :)

I don't know why I felt like sharing this but... hey maybe i'll inspire someone to try a new vegetable. Don't be afraid!!


Just in case you forgot about those two huge furry beasts I give care to... They're still huge and furry and cuter than your cats.




All I want to do is ride my bike.
