Oh Fishsticks!

Looking through my hard drive for other things I've taken pics of. Here's a short one you might enjoy.

Had fishsticks in the freezer and wanted to see if I could make a good sammich out of it.

I got bread and put some cheddar on one side (I'm not fond of American cheese. Call me unpatriotic or whatever, but it tastes like plastic to me) and some tartar sauce on the other side.

 I put too much tartar sauce, my bad

Next I put some fishsticks on there.

 Make sure they are cooked people -_-

You know what? Needs more fishsticks.

There we go ^_^

Then somehow, without making a huge mess, join the two together and voila!

It was good, but I don't think it needed the cheese

Moral: It was alright, but I think I'll just stick to fishsticks.

Aggravation and Golden Eggs

So my laptop is busted. Unless I come up with 100 bucks, it's gonna stay that way. The comp in the living room is busted too, so I'm working from a borrowed laptop from a friend of mine. I don't think I can get pics off the old camera to here, but I do have a phone. It doesn't work as a telephone, but it takes pictures and lets me play games. I tried making a post on here from it, but I got aggravated and said screw it. It capitalized every word (and I mean EVERY word) and kept skipping up to previous sentences and changing words and adding crap in that I didn't type. I really wanted to throw it across the room, but I refrained and just grumbled a lot and stopped messing with it. But the problem now arises, how do I get pics on here? I'm thinking that a complicated way would be for me to make the post on the comp, save as a draft, and post the photos from the phone. We are gonna try anyways. Oooooor, maybe I can make a draft on the phone with all of the photos I wanna add to a post. Won't it put it in my gallery so I can use them on here? If all else fails I can use the really slow comp that belongs to my roommate. Anyways, let's post pics so I can test out this theory of mine. What's been going on in my life? I've been working on that wool eater blanket, problem is all of the cats really like it.

 See my problem?

I've got my next two rows planned too.

Michael's Value brand Fushia, and Red Heart's Grape Fizz

I dunno man, besides taking really long or tall photos, the camera kinda washes everything out to be different colors. So much aggravation. Maybe if I leave the sd card from the camera plugged in for a really long time it'll work? Wait, we've got a red light! There's hope! Holy hot damn! We've got photos!. Let's see if I can remember any of the recipes that are on it. Damn, it went away while I was looking at it. Maybe it'll come back? Actually I think I saved the photos on my portable harddrive before the comp went down. Great for me, but how will I get new photos? While I wait for the little red light to come back on (if it does) How about I share with you another aggravation? Entitled...

Golden Eggs My Ass

So I heard this rumor that if you shake a raw egg really hard for 3 minutes or so, when you boil it, it'll be all golden cuz you basically just scrambled the damn thing. Let me walk you through my journey, shall I?

I got two eggs and shook the ever livin' hell out of them for 3 minutes. Put 'em in a pot and waited for them to boil.

Something doesn't look right. I think we might have a busted egg on our hands

Yeah, yeah we do

But that's ok, I boiled 2 and one looks just fine.

Perfect, let's crack 'er open and see that gold!

Umm?

Besides being a bitch and half to peel, it looks like crap. What happened? Maybe there's just a small coating of white and it's all pretty on the inside?

...-_-

Yeah, screw that egg. Too much work for crap results. Maybe I'm just not strong enough, I dunno. Won't be doing that again.

Moral: Screw that egg, only He-Man stands a chance.

The red light came back on for 2 seconds. I'll figure something out. I'd like to keep using the old camera cuz it takes better photos when it comes to color, the phone camera focuses really well though. Maybe I'll use both? We'll see.

Spalfredo!

Yes, Spalfredo. My new roomie was making spaghetti and I wondered if it would be tasty to use half spaghetti sauce and half alfredo sauce. It was awesome!

Brown your meat, drain, then add back to the pan with half alfredo sauce and half spaghetti sauce. Heat 'till it's warm and everything else is ready.

Tastes better than it looks, promise.

Now you can either be all fancy and make it pretty by pouring some over your noodles...

Or you can just straight up mix it all together like you don't care.

*Hint* That's what I did ^_^

It was spalfredo in more than one way cuz we didn't have enough spaghetti noodles so it was half fettuccine and half spaghetti noodles. Hee, but it was good =D

Moral: Delicious!

We Interrupt Your Normally Scheduled Program for a Short Announcement

So while in the middle of making something else (I can't remember what) I remembered that a couple of my friends didn't know how I cut my tomatoes so evenly for tacos and stuff. 'Dis is for them, gonna be a bit short though. (How long can a tutorial be about cubing tomatoes anyways?)

Tomato!!!

Getting the tomato is the hardest part, really.

Slice off the stem part. Next slice it evenly almost to the bottom, but not quite.

If you cut it all the way through you are gonna hafta do it the old fasioned way.

Now rotate the tomato 90 degrees and do it again.

Try to keep them even.

Now turn the tomato on its side so that the uncut part is facing your non-dominate hand. Then with your dominate hand slice in even strokes all the way through.

Tada! Tomato cubes.

After you slice off all of the cubes you can just cut up the part that's left however you want to. This saves a lot of time and effort. Saves on headaches as well. Enjoy ^_^

Makin' a Sammich

So one of the things you have missed in my absence is the fact that I can now make bread. Granted it's in a bread machine, but that's not the point. If I make quick bread it's done in an hour, but the texture isn't that great. It seems fine 'till you try the normal bread which takes 3 hours to make, that one is awesome and fluffy. The machine makes it to where you don't hafta knead it and all that so I'm happy. The bread goes well with honey and butter, but one thing it's really good at, is sammiches.

Yeah, look at that numminess. 

Here, lemme blow it up for you.

Yeah, you know you want some.

Hmm, let's try this

So, my laptop is sick, Mom's comp is sick, but I have a new friend. With a long story involving friends and things going out of business, I have acquired a "new" comp. And by new I mean really old, but functional. Le sigh, it still means that all of my pics are on my broken little baby, but I figured I could try to start again. (Depressing, I know) I've been working on a few things since we last talked, but since my comp's been down, I haven't taken too many pics. I have taken some though...come to think of it, some of my old pics might still be on the camera, this will take investigating, let's see what I've got saved on it.


Holy crap! You guys have missed so much! Including my first knitted socks...

These were Mom's birthday present.

And my dabbling in wood carving...

Sick right?

My first baby blanket...

Turned out better than I thought it would.

A few recipes...

Made more than this but am lacking pics.

Me playing with my hair...

Really hard taking a pic of your own hair.

And bunches of frogs...

Bunches and bunches of frogs.

These plus more will be turned into entries, just lucky that they were saved on the camera, bunches more on my baby, but these'll do for now.

Broken Friends

My laptop is sick. She's got a broken charging port so I haven't been able to post in a while. I'm on my mom's comp right now to let you know. I might be able to make a post from here, but I doubt it, her's is kinda sick too. Hope you all are well and I hope to see you around soon.
