Remember the other day when I made the Cheesy Quinoa Bites? Well, I had some left over and thought they would make a delicious addition to my breakfast cups that everyone in my house has been loving lately. Again with 5 ingredients, I’ve transformed breakfast into something quick, portable and of course fucking delicious.
Phallic Looking Grilled Pork Loin
What has 5 ingredients and is the one of the most delicious things I have ever put in my pie hole? Its my adapted version of Paula Dean’s Grilled Pork Loin, that’s what. I omitted the mustard, tamarind, and scallions, but used her technique of making a delicious sauce with the left over marinade.
Cheesy Quinoa Bites
I fucking love Tastespotting.com like I fucking love arugula. Its a site that I can spend hours on, getting ideas and drooling over food. When I was there the other day, I came across some delicious looking Cheesy Quinoa Bites from Becky over at So Very Blessed. Her site is sweet and fun and I’m sure she doesn’t have a mouth like a sailor like I do, but MAN, can this woman whip up a good cheesy quinoa bite! Just a few simple ingredients make these snackable baked yummies delicious.
Sausage & Peppers
I remember an episode of Who’s the Boss where Tony cooks sausage and peppers for his daughter, whats her face. This isn’t that type of sausage and peppers. But its where I had first heard the term, and then again from The Sopranos. Which reminds me I need to watch that show again.
This recipe is fairly simple, light but filling. We eat it just as is, but if you are a carb loving household you can obviously serve it with quinoa, or brown rice. I’m listing some Trader Joe’s stuff here, but you can substitute with any other sausage you’d like. The lime juice and pulp mixed with the juices from the sausage make a very light ‘sauce’. (I said sauce ahaha) I don’t use green bell peppers because they are bitter. My friend and I discussed the psychology of it once.
him: yeah, i eat a ton of watermelon at work, but not red peppers
me: ohh red ones?
him: yeah, i dont touch em
me: no really?
him: i only like the greens, the true bell pepper
me: I was completely unaware that you didn’t like red ones or orange or yellow, somewhere along the way I heard that the green ones were the only ones that tickled your fancy
him: they’re bitter and unpleasant, they get me
me: so its like eating yourself so its like eating yourself? I wonder if that’s why I like the red, yellow, orange ones then, because they are sweet?
him: haha, pepper psychology
me: I have a masters in it
I have weird friends.
New Years Wishes
I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a happy, safe New Years Eve. Tonight I’ll be headed out to a intimate party with new friends. Totally different than the 40k plus parties of my youth where I consumed illegal substances and occasionally danced on tables. And by occasionally I mean every year. (more…)
Music
I’ve been inspired by a LOT of music in my day. So much that I can’t really put it into words properly. (more…)
Virgin
I listen to songs that I think you would like
and I
don’t feel anything for you
but I feel for me.
I read words that you wrote to me
and I
don’t feel what you meant
but I feel what I did
I think about you hard
really hard and try
to feel
what it was that made me love you
and I do
but I don’t
I feel whole again
although I am way more fucked
than when you found me
I am….completely me
and you would have loved me like this too
and I can stand tall in my crazy
and say
thank you.
because you were the first to
love me and my flaws
I’ve found that I can love me too.
