Oh well. I am going to make some yummy garlicky vegan pizza bites, and some little baked balls of brown rice, peanut butter, and other stuff, and some healthy brownies, all out of my favorite cookbook. I've been looking for an excuse to make the latter two for awhile and I figured movie night with a friend would be a good opportunity. I guess movie night is still a decent opportunity to bake a bunch of healthy-ish snackies and have some wine.

;D Just remember to check the brownies a few minutes before the written baking time. I just so happened to bake some the other day (quelle coincidence!) And forgot to check them early, so the ended up tougher than they should have been. Dry brownies are always a bummer. It might have been the oven in my new craptacular place (haven't calibrated the thermometer), but it's always a good rule of thumb.

Peanut butter on top fixes everything, though!

Me, I'm makin' lentil soup! And baking a sweet tater.

whats that mean? maybe thats what i need to do! ive baked chicken twice in my new place and once it took 20ish minutes and the second time it took 45 for the inside to be done and then the outside was tough! on the same temp.. i was confused. they werent much thicker the second time...

It's been shown that oven internal oven temperatures can vary by as much a FIFTY DEGREES from what the display actually says, in either direction. So it's always handy to have a separate oven thermometer that can show you what the real temperature is. They cost about an average of 10-15 bucks, and you can get them at any kitchen store, or somewhere like Bed Bath & Beyond. Definitely a good investment.

This fun fact brought to you by Cook's Illustrated, the cooking magazine for nerds.

Thank you for the tip! I'll check them super-early. I've got an overripe banana I was thinking of throwing into the brownies instead of throwing it away... or putting it in the peanut butter balls. What do you think?

Lentil soup and a sweet potato sounds delicious!!

Unable to change my flight to the evening before, I will need to spend the 25th overnight in NYC. Well, it's an opportunity to start my mini vacation in Manhattan, my old stomping grounds.

I'm having dinner with old friends and performing magic for their kids over dessert. After that, tho, I'm free for some adult time! Who's working in Manhattan that night? Or who wants to go SCing that night? PM.

Cheers.

WHY WHY WHY do builders insist on using the chainsaw at 7am? The rest of the day they use the glue and nails and hardly make a peep. But 7am? OH no, that's CHAINSAW TIME. They can't use the glue and nails in the beginning? They can't connect the wires in the morning? They HAVE to use the god damn fucking loudest tools when I've worked every night this week, it's my first day off and I didn't get home until 3? FUCK YOU.

^^ the garbage man comes at 3am and empties the dumpster right outside my bedroom window.
That's not nearly as bad as the shit sucker tho. They are painting my apartment complex, and the painters "home base" is right outside my apartment. They have a port a potty. The shit sucker coems each and every night around 5am to suck shit. It takes him a good 25 minutes and it is loud as fuck and smells to high heaven.
Right now is that just right poerfect temp. to sleep with the windows open, and every night, I awake to the smell of poop.

Ha...yeah I got woken up this morning by power tool stoo. My neighbors are having their roof done in stages apparently..for the last 6 months(wonder if they had the same POS roofer I did whos workers decided that drinking beer and throwing hte cns off my roof= a days work)

I want them to FINISH IT already so I can finish my fence.(which got knocked down in Wilma and I dont want to do until theres no chance of inspectors wandering around back there...I REFUSE to pay over $100 to the stupid city for a PERMIT to fix a fence that was ALREADY THERE)

My bedroom window overlooks the garbage dumpster (yes, I have a lovely view) and recently they added about a half dozen large trash receptacles for recyclables right next to it. Our trash guys come at 4:30 in the morning and it takes them at least 20 minutes to get all the trash, sometimes longer, and they always go out of their way to make as much noise as possible. And we don't have air conditioning, so the windows are open, so twice a week I get up super-early to the sounds of banging, clanking, and loud Spanish chatter. I would like to start sniping them with a BB gun but I never can find my glasses in the dark.

I am so exhausted. I haven't slept more than 4 hours a night in two weeks. I've been working 12-15 hour days.

I just know when I get my place (finally) I'll be good. Until then I can't even take a nap without some idiot in this house going, "_____ IS TAKING A NAP. YOU SHOULD BE QUIET! DON'T YELL!!" Aggghhhhhhhffffhfhhhhh....

I was told I was top of the list for the really cool modern apartment I mentioned. I hope I get it, it's all privately owned so it's super quiet. And has a bar. So if it's noisy, I can just get drunk. Pft.

...sleepy. :(

LSU beat Florida!!! Whoo-hoo, gators suck!

I got so fucking wasted last night. Apparently I say pretty funny things. For example, my sister went to wash up and came back to see me sprawled on the bed in my bra and thong. She asked if I wanted to put some clothes on, to which I replied, "these are clothes" lol.

I ate gumbo and balls today.

I also got my dad some of the 'hottest fucking sauce' and a katrina book for my bf. Oh, and I got myself the Patron Saint of Exotic Dancers and Burlesque Performers.

OMG OMG OMG! So I posted on MySpace to see if anyone wanted to join me for baked treats and a movie or two, and the sexy Jewboy I really want to bang says he's coming over. I'm already horny as fuck and now here comes one of the only men on earth who gets me seriously, extremely hot. We've flirted but I don't think he believes K is really okay with it... but who knows, some wine and pizza bites may lower his inhibitions...

Should I go buy condoms just in case? :hyper:

I have her too! I got her at some voodoo shop in the French Quarter years ago. Although she is cracked and chipped, she still sits proudly on my altar.

And Yek, even though I had to watch the whole thing, that thing in your sig made my brain hurt. WTF? "I found a hobo in my room"

Now I don't know if the Jewboy is coming. He asked if I was expecting anyone else and I said my friend Jenn might or might not drop by, and I haven't heard back from him. Maybe he thinks I'll got him drunk and take advantage of him while my boyfriend is out of town. (If so, he's right.)

If Jenn comes by he's safe though. That girl is the world's greatest cockblocker.

Jewboy is being a flirty little tease, telling me he needs a spanking for not coming over. I told him to get over here so I can spank him with my new paddle - soft fluff on one side, very hard leather on the other - and he asked what else I might offer. Grrr. He always teases me and leads me on like this and then he never follows through. He needs to come over and give me a righteous hard dicking.

Dear Diary,
So I came out of the stripper closet to my boyfriend. Then I went to work and couldn't keep my makeup on my face because I couldn't stop crying. Which is crazy because he wasn't even mad, I was just mad at me for lying about it, and I guess the relief of getting it off my chest was just overwhelming cuz it's been bugging me for months. But it's nice to get it over with.

I can imagine, in your neck o' the woods! Much as I love many who dwell there . . .

I've been enjoying Christopher Hitchens' "god Is Not Great: How Religions Poisons Everything" (http://www.amazon.com/God-Not-Great-Religion-Everything/dp/0446579807/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-0747544-1581238?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191816766&sr=8-1). Definitely an extreme polemic, but very interesting. Would be a good antidote to that discussion you were having.

I don't agree with everything he says, but when most of society always feels like they have to tiptoe around the topic, its kind of refreshing to have someone very prominent look at some religious beliefs and just say " . . . you've freakin' kidding me, right?"
