everybody's playing the game



Want a slice of pie? This will be the food show, in which I introduce all of the great eats I've been making for the past weekish!


We'll start off with my Shepherd's Pie!


It does have real sheep-related meat in it - yearling, specifically. Yearling, carrots, onions, celery, and a few other things in the bottom layer, mashed potatoes on top - delicious eats! It was a great, fulfilling meal - a lot of leftovers in the fridge after this one.

How about some pie? Shell first:



Add the custard:


and the Meringue:


And bake!


Want a slice?



Now for some pizza and breadsticks! I made the pizza sauce myself - don't ask for the recipe, it's a secret... maybe.


Anywho, pizza!


I didn't get a picture of the cooked pizza, but it was as tasty as it looks (or, conversely so if it doesn't look tasty to you)! I did get a picture of the breadsticks, though!


Mmm... extra sauce for dipping...



So, that's food! I think that the next update I'll do will be about the room renovation - I think I have enough pics to make it through all right! I think that's about it for now. Sleep well, my friend.

i can even pat myself on the back when necessary

Give yourself time, Arnold. It gets better... But, Arnold, it never goes away. You can work longer hours, adopt a son, fight with me, whatever... it'll still be there. But that's all right, it becomes a part of you, like learning to wear a ring or a pair of eyeglasses. You get used to it. And that's good. It's good, because it makes sure you don't forget. You don't want to forget him, do you?


I don't know what to say tonight. A lot of things on my mind. Too many people that I'd forgotten and shouldn't have. I'm feeling the need to write... and also the need to push it away, to forget. Forgetting will be a cheap imitation of what life could be like: truly myself, pains and pleasure - everything.

And so I must write. That is all there is to it. So simple. So complex. Easily difficult and difficultly easy. Strange how different those are... and so similar.

Maybe I just need to get my ass to bed.

Sleep well, my friend.

it's hot and it's monotonous

Fascinating what life throws at you. Or doesn't. Either way, it's been a fun few weeks - I've got a lot of artistic and writing ideas swirling around in my brain... boil, boil, toil and trouble - fire burn and cauldron bubble. Mwahaha.

Anywho!

I have food related pics and and room related pics - wanted to drop a line to say that I'm still here.

Take care and sleep well.

don't face the headlights of the oncoming cars alone

Well, hello there. In the past few days, I've made a few interesting concoctions... I did not photo journal them because I think that you might have been disgusted. First off, I made heart of beef... sliced it into sections and sizzled it on the stove top like one would a steak. It was interesting... intense flavor, thick meat. Today, I used leftover heart in a sandwich similar to the one I posted earlier - heart added a great flavor and heaviness to the sandwich.

I need to get my butt in gear. I needs a job. And, I need to do taxes. And get back into college. Sounds like an hour long task, eh?

A lot on my mind tonight...

Sleep well
