Oh last night I had a blast!! My friends from north came for a surprise visit. I giggle when I introduce them to my friends from here because I always mention how much fun we had growing up in New York. My kids miss them too. They talked to them as much they talked to me. Usually they attend to their own friends and don’t social much with the friends I have here. Well any who, talked about things all social of mature. And when the friends from here left we acted silly.
Oh wow how I miss talking. I mean when I talked to some of my co workers I always has to stop what I wanted to say to help them out. Not much insight back or a lot in common. Seriously adults plays more games in conversation then kids do. Phony laughs and who they are. Well last night I let it out. We talk about how expensive New York cost of living . I said I will not pay a thousand dollars for apartment that’s only worth $450 a month. That’s rent and a car payment. & It must have a dishwasher,w/d and free cable before I pay that amount for a place. We all agree on that.
Felt good to have so much release to trusted company. Great friends. I told about a so-called friend I have here. Who always has to get a little out of everything she gives. E.g she gives a box a cookies then asks “Can I have one of those cookies I gave you”. Can you imagine hearing “Can I have…?” every time you see a person. Even my kids don’t ask that much. Before I only said this to my mom. Because when you say one thing ,gets around and grew too big. But I had hurt this so-called friend so many times by setting her straight. I wasn’t even mean, I just said no, how you going to give and asked for it back. You know gotta be honest with the person . Being straight forward is easier than let it build, but it’s a must to use conduct to your surroundings.
We reminisce on the games I made up when we were kids. He brought up “I’m a Multi millionaire!!” game. I made this up because everybody wants to get rich and after a quick moment they not satisfied. So in this game we really imagine seriously what will we do if we was extremely rich. Sometimes I just the riches of being really comfortable. Have grands in the bank,couple in our pocket and our home worth tens times the amount to us. Ha Ha! Being middle class is was actually the goal. We really let it out and have a ball. Just being too much of ourselves. Instead of talking about insecurities we talked about our conceited, another game I made up. I had fun.
I spent a lot on our vacation and times are hard now so I decided last nigh to make my simple appetizer burgers. It’s real simple. I just take a pound of ground beef, steam cook then add cheese on top. Make it more like a spread rather than burger.
I know sounds so far like a regular recipe for a burger but here’s a twist. In a skillet I steam the ground beef with a half a cup of water . Keep flatten as if a pancake. Add chopped onions and allow it to cook about twenty minutes or more. When almost done I layed thin slices of cheese on top. Then when that is almost melted , here’s the twist I add the lettuce on top. Let it get just a little soft.
Afterwards spread on a nice soft hoggie bread or whatever your choice. It was delicious. I find cook lettuce taste better in more dishes then cabbage. Enjoy!!
My best friend is going through a bad break up, divorce really. She still madly in love with him but he gave her a tainted marriage. He kissed ‘probably slept’ with a female that she dislikes day of their wedding. He’s urges her to let it go and not throw away a three and a half years over it.”I chose you” and “She has the worst end , watching us get married” he kept saying. Ha ha . That man are lucky that I wasn’t his wife he telling this crap to. LUCKY!
Well she didn’t stand for it , how much as it hurts and how much she’s still in love and have the hots for him it’s over. Must be tough. I wish I could be there for her but we are states away with a lot of responsibilities that we can’t put on hold. But called each other.
I told her some loves are like that. Some men are great first dates . I mean they shower you with respect and attention. Do everything right and all they was ‘a low down dirty dog” as they say. Well the states are higher with some men. They are great to fall deeply in love ,lust and be happy with. Walk down the aisle to with just praise then they come to be “a low down dirty dog that marry” I say. Making sure you never forget them. I gotta admit , he ‘s a very handsome ,stimulating and captive man. I met him long before they were married. He was arrogant, conceited and it fits him. And she tells me he still very much the same.
Among conversation with our other friends there are different opinions of what she should do. I felt do what she wishes. Two of them thinks she should let him go and work things out. Not to feed into this because the tramp he slept with will get him back.
I said look that’s was his wedding too! What stupid man will sleep with someone before their wedding? That’s selfish and when someone selfish like this they will always cheat ,making sick stupid people alike happy. For goodness sakes!! ” I chose you” Oh yeah you a prize to keep buddy!” No one is that handsome or cute to be disrespectful. What do you think?
Never let someone disrespect you. Even if the person you love. Sometime you gotta step back & take a objective look. Sometimes you’ll see that they don’t come up to your feet or ankles of what you want. This guy of hers comes up to the knee,as she said , that’s why it hurts so darn much.
I had been so busy with extra work that I was exhausted. Too many people was let go or quit. But this did not stop the business for going just add on the work onto my desk. Uggh!
Against my usual way I took a vacation. Thursday -Tuesday the kids and I went to Sea World , visit the mall that was near and had a blast. It was more fun because we took the break rather wait till we have one. The lines wasn’t so long and the weather there was nice. It rain for almost a day there but hey that’s site in our state we don’t get to see much. What’s work even better for me that it was less expensive than I thought. Things are funny that way. You think you have more than enough than you don’t when you think there barely enough there’s extra. Round off the amount helps.
Making it home was a little difficult. The train kept delaying and delaying ,before and on board. We had a great time but boy were we glad to be home. Kids return to school I, work and it’s better because of the break. However next time I ‘ll plan to leave I’ll make sure I return on the weekend.
I went to the clubs and dance , laugh and had fun. You know the right of passage. Well there aren’t many songs I jump and dance to but this is one of them. It called ” Sexual “By Amber Hope you enjoy!
I ‘m a spicy eater, always has been. I once put wasabi,jalapeno and a bit of hot sauce on my Philly cheese steak sandwich. My professor stop me and said I will get high blood pressure before I even thirty. He just wanted to see if I will take one bite of it and survive. Well that blew my mood. I believe some spices can clear your senses and not make you sick. Only if you exercise and take good care of yourself than you should be fine. Back then I used to walk a mile and a half to get to the metro north than an extra mile to catch the bus so I had plenty of exercise.
I made a soup just for me. I add vegetables roast pork and hot spices. I recommend extreme caution before taking this chance.
In a medium size saucepan I add half a cup of chicken broth and half of beef broth. Then I added the boneless pork ribs I slice into chunks . As it steams I prepare my veggies. Slice the carrots ,celery, green bell pepper and onion medium thick. To add little sweetness to the mix I simply add a can of sweet peas. The juice will gives the broth more flavor.
Steam under a low flame for about thirty-two minutes. Then I add 1 tab butter ,season salt and black pepper. One tiny pinch of wasabi, two drops of hot sauce. Cayenne prefer. Stir til you get a nice golden color. I let it cool for about fifth teen minutes . Delicious.
Back in the 90’s there wasn’t much songs that I like. But this one I really found touching . ” I want you back” by Take That. Hope you enjoy.
Don’t they have a great voice. This is the only song I like from the group. From what I remember they only made 3 songs. I could be wrong. Tell me what you think of them.
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It’s sweet and touching melody makes ending from a relationship a little easier. Song is not made like this anymore.
I know lots of people does not like bran, but I always did. Since we need fiber in our diet to keep regularity and other health needs let’s make it more delicious. I stayed home today. Need a break. Looking in the cupboard and see only my box of cereal is still full. My kids want touch the fiber or wheat cereals. Or granola bars. So I was enthusiastic to make a cake before they come home. Branny Fruit cake. I come up a better name for it later.
I first soften the cereal with a half a cup of milk. Then I add just one cup of flour mix with an egg. Stir till soften then add the sugar. Now when I forget to pick up eggs complete pancake mix is a great egg substitute. Not only it easier but sure blends in well with less stirs. Besides it annoys me to take out the “extra white line’ in eggs. At this the batter is half way done that is when I preheat the oven at 375 degrees. To save a little on energy. Grease the baker with butter and set aside.
At this point I add a little more cereal to batter ,little baking powder & add a can of drain fruit cocktail . Fresh squeeze of lemon, instead of lemon extract. Just one slice will do. Last cup of flour added stir till its medium thick. Pour batter into the baker and bake under 350 degrees for about twenty-five minutes or till done. I urgent recommend that it must cool for about fifth-teen minutes before eating!
