Day 54

One of my favorite sports has always been people watching. I say sport, because it's really a workout for your brain, in thinking way too much about people that you don't even know. Its fun though, I enjoy it immensely. It's especially fun at the grocery store. They say you can't judge a book by it's cover. But, can you judge a person's eating habits by what's in their shopping cart? I like to think so. Doritos, anyone?

Day 20

A lesson in damage control. Yesterday there was a minor incident in my mothers kitchen. Someone, who shall remain nameless, was going to take the left over spaghetti sauce out the refrigerator to eat for dinner. After a quick fumble there was red sauce everywhere. And I mean everywhere. I found some today on the INSIDE of a cabinet. Seriously. Everywhere.
So we had a slight problem, we had lots of cooked spaghetti to go with the homemade sauce. Now, there's no sauce.
The problem arises. What to do with all the cooked pasta? My family is italian, so using jarred sauce will likely result in criminal charges. I was forced to think outside of the box and create a new dish using the pasta.
I found some shrimp in the freezer and attempted to make a cross over dish. I call it "Italy meets the Far East". Using sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds to "Asian-it-up" as well as some fresh garlic and cilantro to balance out the Italian. Finishing touches included onion, red and green pepper, and mushrooms, as well as cayenne pepper to give it a little Korean kick. The result? A pretty darn tasty little dish.

Day 12

One of my resolutions for the new year was to cook more. And not only to cook more, but to discover more recipes. Over the New Year Holiday I was at a friends house and at this "salsa" and it was fabulous. So, needless to say, I HAD to have the recipe. And today, I made it. Fabulous. The ingredients make it very colorful as well as full of flavor. It's good with tortilla chips, crackers, on hamburgers or even salad. All it is, is some chopped veggies (green pepper, red pepper, onion), black beans, chick peas, black eyed peas, and corn. The sauce consists of olive oil, vinegar, sugar and cayenne pepper. De-lish. If anyone wants the recipe just let me know :)

Day 6

I love many things in life. One of those things are chicken wings. They are fabulously tasty and come in so many varieties. You've got your hot, medium, mild, barbeque, honey barbeque, butter & garlic, honey mustard, and the list goes on. Oh and did I mention pizza? 'Cause you almost *have* to have pizza with chicken wings. It's the American way.
There's a local dive in my neck of the woods that has "wing night wednesday". There's only one thing I like better than chicken wings. And that is, 15¢ chicken wings. What a deal. Anyone want any pizza?
