nailz

I don't cook anymore...ratgate 2011 freaked me out. I will not go into details on this blog, for fear of loosing my 5 readers. I do however eat dry cereal whilst sitting in my living room painting my nails. OH yes, I am up on the nail polish trends.  That's all I got.

Summer special

Yum. Asparagus, Broccolini, Parmesan, Lemon...

Summer here we come. Looks like the new food plate, no? No, you're right it doesn't. Whatev, it was a weekend, At least it wasn't white chocolate chips and a bowl of pickles for dinner. No, I've never done that...

Asaparagus salad was planned. The remainer was improtomtu. That's ok. It's not like I follow directions anyways.

Salad. Delish. Seriously. Add this to your arsenal.

Lemon Chicken. Marinade includes freshly squeezed lemon, spicy mustard, EVOO, S&P, Shallot, Crushed garlic to taste and "honey". I subbed brown sugar. MF needs a better pantry. oh well. If you want protein powders you went to the right place ;) Cook the chicken in the marinade, covered, on the stove till done. Bam. Original recipe.

Clean out the fridge red potatoes: quartered potatoes, simmered for a while in water. Then I got bored and decided to just add stuff to the "cooking fluid"...to include : red and balsamic vin,  S&P, garlic, shallots, lemon leftovers. Obv you are going to follow this plan exactly and will have a bit of extra shallot from your asparagus goodness and some recently squeeze lemon exoskeletons...add em to the pot...why not.

Try it. It's healthy and easy. Trust me, because I'm a lazy lady and would not lead you astray.

Drama.

 Teaser. I'll post actual recipes tomorrow...maybe. This was good though...

I have not been blogging, but things have been happening. Usually things are great. Sometimes, things are a bit rocky for me and the manfriend...or mostly just the manfriend. He can be, well, unlucky.

case and point. As we stood on the front step of my apartment, we witnessed this ridculosity.

BAL of .277 is probably not ok to drive. Not like i'm a docta or anything.


Girlie, you hit a parked car. For realz. 8K in repairs.

oh no Honda. MF's infiniti flew about 5 feet, and tapped my bumper. ouch.


then...the fish tank overflows and floods the apartment.

At least I got to pick out replacement fish. Yep MF lets me pick out all the fish... He was raised correctly I tell ya:)

And. The Madison menu now includes smoothies courtesy of the newly purchased magic bullet. Blueberries, almond milk and spinach... yum

Plus

yes there is more

While I was in glorious WI a rat was trapped in the toilet one floor below me for 24 hours. Now, he is missing. Wet, mad, and missing. Ghetto sewer rat. sick, omg.

I'm busy, working and stuff.

Wheat doesn't make a lot of sense.

Having a blog intern year also doesn't make much sense. About 1 month left... woot.

Peace out.

Easter con Charlton Heston

The annual Suzanne showing of the 10 commandments. Easter is mostly about movies right? Movies and movie food.

Popcorn, apples and cheese. That's M&Ds version of a movie treat. The 10 commandments is an epic movie event. Now that I'm and adult, I actually get to see the red sea part, and the worshiping of idols. Scandalous. Good thing I'm 27, and can handle that filth on the big screen :)

We watched the 10 commandants every year. It's honestly my favorite part of Easter. Yep, I'm catholic. Yep, I went to Easter vigil with my Dad, washed old ladies' feet on Thursday, donned an Easter dress for Sunday, and rushed to find my basket Easter morning. But, the 10 commandments? Man, that was the best.

My dad would air pop popcorn, slice apples, roll up lunch meat and slice cheese. We would spread a table cloth out and, get this, EAT in the living room! Gasp! With the whole fam. That is my favorite part of Easter. No, it's not sacrilege. It just was so important to have that treasured time with my family. That meant more to me than anything else. Sorry Jesus.

I'm so thankful I got to spend this Easter Saturday with my family. Nick, Ellen and Joey made the trek to the hood to join us for a pre-Easter munchfest. I love all of you, thanks for eating my nasty ranch/nacho cheese deviled eggs! And, thank you Nick for breaking my kitchen sink, come on over any time :)

Times, they are a changin.

Car probs. The beloved 95 camry broke down in the middle of NOWHERE Wi. One crying blond, 2 hours, and a greasy old mechanic later the problem was identified. One part is sucking oil into another part. This my friends is bad. I made it home, but that's about it. The "wheels" where set in motion, thanks to the family mechanic who treats me like a child (which may or may not be warranted). Whalah, Suzanne has a new set of wheels.

Woot. AND a car payment. Boo. I wish I thought cars where cool. Then, this would have been way more exciting. It does have a legit CD player, and get this, the windows roll down! High rolla! That's all I have to report. I made taco dip this weekend, because the thought of making something classy was just not going to happen. Beans, Sour cream, Salsa, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and olives. Served with Tostitos. Delivered in my sweet new ride. Fancy.
