Lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Crown Royal
Sample the Crown Royal to check quality.
Take a large bowl, check the Crown Royal again, to be sure it is of the
highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer.Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy
bowl.
Add one teaspoon of sugar.Beat again.
At this point it's best to make sure the Crown Royal is still OK, try
another cup.. Just in case.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Pick the frigging fruit off floor.

If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a
Dewscriver.
Sample the Crown Royal to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something.. Who giveshz a sheet.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table.
Add a spoon of AR, or somefink.. Whatever you can find.

HolidAWESOME.
Okay.
I am at my parents' house (with Bogie the Magnificent of course) and we are having a holiday party.
My mom's friend brought her menorah and lit the candles while singing in Hebrew with her adopted daughter in front of my parents' Christmas tree while The Carpenters chirped away "Silver Bells" in the adjacent room and we all smiled and absorbed the joy.
It was one of the coolest moments of my life.
Now if we had something for Solstice, Ramadan and Kwanzaa it would be even better.
I like blending stuff. :-)

Soup/La soupe
I just made this:
and had it with pieces of Triscuit stirred in. It was DELICIOUS! The soup was rich and creamy with a hint of milk and the size fits in my crazy soup bowl perfectly!
The Triscuits were nice and crispy even though they were logged with soup.
MMM.
I highly recommend it. Yum.

Craquelins avec Rachael
I can't stop eating these Triscuits.
CAN'T
STOP.
My hand keeps going back into that little yellow box adorned with Rachael Ray's poised, saccharine-sweet Shirley Templefied visage for more whole grain crunchy goodness. When did she become a Nabisco sponsor? I do believe I have consumed by body weight in Triscuits at this point. That's not a small number, folks.
Damn you Rachael.
Damn you.
That is all.
(P.S. Yes I realize this is not her fault. I just wanted someone to blame. She's quite nice, actually and I'm glad her recipes are on the boxes now. Those sweet, sweet boxes. Mmmmmm.)

Luckee Sharmes
Okay so I bought some last night.
It was tricky though, because since I drink boxed milk and had used what was in the fridge, there was no cold milk for the cereal.
BUT I WAS NOT DEFEATED.
The boxed milk was thrown in the freezer ice bucket and I waited ever so patiently for it to get cold. While waiting, I had the rest of the champagne from a dinner made ages ago that was nicely sealed with a Vacu-Vin corky thing my very forward-thinking friend Jackie gave me.
After that, it was cereal time. The milk was cold enough so I dumped it on a bowl 'o Charms and snorfed until it was gone.
THAT HAD TO BE THE BEST DAMN BOWL OF CEREAL I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.
Funny that it was accompanied by a glass of champagne but that's just how I do things.
So...my question is...why did I suddenly have an urgent craving for Lucky Charms? I wasn't drunk or high (though the champagne did make me tipsy but that was after buying them). What causes a person to crave such things?
I dunno. But there's a big box of them in my kitchen and it's doubtful they'll make it out of the weekend alive.
They're magically delicious.
Mmm.

Delicious/Delicieux
Ooh. Mmm.
Wanna try something yummy? Take fresh broccoli, cauliflower and baby carrots, steam them, spritz on some olive oil and mix it up, then add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
IT IS SO GOOD. WOW.
Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?

Mattar Paneer
While tooling through the supermarket aisles an hour ago, I came across Amy's Organics Mattar Paneer. For those of you who don't know, Mattar Paneer is a delicious Indian dish with curried chickpeas, peas, carrots and such served with squares of paneer cheese and basmati rice. It's really one of those things you need to have fresh, but due to recent success with other microwave fare, I thought I would give it a shot.
Amy's did not disappoint. The spices were not too pungent, but not watered down either. Basically I needed a large drink but was not able to, as Lisa Simpson put it after eating Apu's food, "See through time."
I like that.
The paneer was chewy and rich and though rice was a little soggy, that was quickly remedied by stirring the whole mess together in a goulash of spicy Indian delights.
The best part about this is that Amy's uses organic and natural ingredients, which was proven by reading the ingredient list. You can actually pronounce all of them! Fantastic! Plus the meal was relatively low in sodium (780mg) which is hard to find with a frozen entree and low in fat (8g) as well. It's a bit pricey ($5) but considering it would cost more to get this at a restaurant with a fairly similar quality (and it can be nuked in 5 minutes), I think it's worth it.
So, as far as microwave meals go, I liked this one and wholeheartedly recommend it.
Go get one! MMMMM!!
