And ugly man with big penis decides to seek love on Match.com
Tis all true.
So I went to a scandelous part night, hosted by the lovely Annie, & Titania, visited with Scottie & Jeff and many other old friends from KSW there. Also first time meeting Lisa and her friend Jay. Twas fun to chill and chat with them. As the cough started irritating me early on, I drank water through the evening and performed little lightshows and teased/instigated mischief where I could.
Being sick sucks. Uneasy sleep, wracking lungs, constant sniffles, and an inability to taste food. Even tuna fish sandwiches with kicker capers or homemade lentil soup with porcini mushrooms and bay leaves. The sensation in my mouth is akin to having masticated several unripened bananas. I swear my cooking is going to waste on these sickly tastebuds right now.
Comfort Food Tuna Fish Sandwiches (a la Bill’s Blogger Recipe Meme)
2 Cans of Starkist
3 Tablespoons of Kewpie Japanese Mayonaise
1 Tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
1/2 Small Onion chopped fine
1/2 cup celery chopped fine
2 Hard boiled eggs – chopped
2 teaspoons of umbrian capers
Salt, Pepper, & Japanese red pepper to taste
Wonder Bread – toasted
Infallible assertion of truth in the universe: Tuna fish sandwhiches taste 500 times better when they are cut into small triangles. The debate is still out on if the triangle taste correlation applies for peanutbutter, sliced apple, & honey sandwiches though it is agreed by all that diagonal halves are more tasty than rectangular ones.
Confusion Vegetarian Lentil Soup
2 cups sorted dry lentils
1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms, shredded
6 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery chopped
1/4 cup chopped green leeks
1/2 teaspoon savory
1/2 teaspoon curry spice
1/2 teaspoon sage
10 coriander seeds (smashed or ground up)
2 teaspoons of salt (more/less to taste)
2 Bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Optional: 1/2 cup cubed smoked prosciutto or 1/2 cup cubed extra firm tofu
Brown onions, celery, leeks in olive oil (prosciutto too). Add remaining ingredients & cover with water.
Bring to boil for 20 minutes – simmer for 30 minutes or until lentils are soft.
It may be necessary to add more water to the soup as the lentils absorb water
Serve over rice or alone. When served alone, a dollop of sour cream into the soup adds additional complexity.
Even better on the 2nd or 3rd day.
The fuzzy slippers are akimbo. Yes they are.
That’s what happens when you take too many cold medications.The worst though, is when you drop your Dimetapp Get Better Bear Sore Throat Pops on top of your fuzzy slippers. Ick.
And yeah, ugly man with big penis seeks mate
So I’m trying to talk my pal J. out of posting his profile on Match.com.
Heavens knows why I’m so against it considering I’m totally down for meeting or dating people who blog. But *that’s* different. Isn’t it?
J. is a charming, funny, wacky chinese american dude with lots of assets (like he’s one of the few guys I know who has a job these days). can give a mean tortilla show. Write to me if you want to learn more about him. Other assets are featured in pictures included here.
Peace Out,
MJ
