Quite a weekend. Chili, the most basic kind (well, one step above, a return to roots, sort of, though neither of those recipes are my mother’s, which is the base for all my major chilis).
Breadsticks.
Green bean casserole.
Weird combo, but hey, gotta eat something, am I right?

That’s where I’m at. I kill myself, all day, starting at 4:50AM (yes, IN THE GODDAMN MORNING), bust ass getting ready, taking care of dogs and cats, work my ass off for 8 hours, come home, walk dogs, make dinner, and by the time I’m all done, it’s 6:30, 7 o’clock at night.
Fourteen straight hours of hard go, every day, and what do I get for it? Slippery tongs that send the roast I made halfway across the fucking kitchen to land in a pile of dog fur.
Grilled cheese sandwiches it fucking is.
Fuck today, all the way off.

Music: Working On A Dream, Bruce Springsteen (more like nightmare, today)That’s actually a cool idea, kids getting to go store to store and stores get good PR and publicity and karma (and maybe sales) by doing it. I wonder why we don’t do that here? It was a real hit in Belleville.
Plus, they had Burger Revolution, which somehow equated Che Guevara with dead cow.
I’m torn on Guevara. I know he’s an icon for t-shirts and all, but he wasn’t exactly a great guy. I mean, he was Castro’s right hand man, and Castro was a piece of shit. Death squads by both and the whole bit.
Sort of a nice in theory, terrible in execution icon, like communism itself or vegans.
Anyway, fun day. Good burger. I love me some caramelized onions.

Music: Who's Last, The WhoThat’s been my day so far. A series of time consuming, but small tasks, interspersed with a desire to do something creative… and not really having the time for it.
Stuffed mushroom caps, red pepper soup shooters, apple and brie stuffed chicken… beer tastings.
All for no reason.
Sometimes, like if cute.

Music: Insomniac, Green DayIt’s funny how such simple things can bring such joy. Chocolate and water. A splash of vanilla and a blender.
One night in the refrigerator.
Endless toppings, endless satisfaction.
Yet, easy enough for a child.
And yet, so fucking bad (it did not turn out great).
