Remember New Years? Its all right, most people don’t.

Since I mentioned it in the last post, i thought it only appropriate to show you exactly what i’m talking about.  Here, in all its glory, the Pie-N-Burger cheeseburger

I also have to recommend their coffee milkshake – they use vanilla ice cream and real coffee grinds. I know, it sounds grainy and gross, but its really delicious and full of coffee flavor!

Best food weekend so far – and we didnt step outside of the house. (i’ll post some pics later – forgot my camera even though I remembered the cables – doh!)

Friday night – Homemade pizzas! We made the dough in the processor (first time, awesome, super fast ), got some fresh italian meats at the best little italian deli and went to town. *pineapple and fresh jalapeno (SUPER HOT)*Pepperoni, salami, and italian sausage*pepperoni, mushroom, and olive*red/yellow peppers and onion*

Saturday - brunch - sunnyside eggs, bacon, pancakes, and crostini; dinner- homemade chicken wings – was the first time to fry these little buggers up, and yes, they will be done again. They were perfect! really – makes me never wanna order some up again knowing how delicious they can be at home.

Sunday – brunch- bacon, poached eggs (finally figured this one out properly), skillet potatoes with red/yellow peppers, onion, and italian sausage, toast; dinner – baked mushrooms stuffed with a bed of wine tossed spinach, italian sausage, topped with fresh parmesan, served with herbed hollendaise.

This whole cooking thing is making going out to eat less and less appetizing. Sure, there’s a lot to clean up, but the food is just better! Commercials are less and less appealing. Its kinda sad. I’m being spoiled by all this food. There will always be somethings that I don’t even try to mimic (In-n-Out, Pie-n-Burger, (although i’m getting close without even trying…i just need to find the right bun!!) and I haven’t mastered the art of the carnitas yet…but that one’s  being worked on.)

by now everyone’s seen all that there is on this new Android released by Google – i mean, first day out there was a link to purchase straight on google’s homepage (and yes, i’m still super excited but am holding out to buy until atleast a month after release.  I’m all about the reviews and not being the first to get, and be disappointed) complete with all the specs and a 360 degree viewing. LOVE IT! I know i know, it’s hard to see how it really will perform from a spec page. (ps., here’s the iphone spec page too for all of  you comparison shoppers). And we all know how the “specs” lie – i mean, just from personal experience, I know that the iPhone does not last the 5-9 hours on the internet that they claim.  So i can’t fall into believing that the Nexas One is all that they claim also with regular usage.  But still, oh little phone – how i want you. 

once again, i’m practicing patience.

heh – this post reminded me of the Simpsons episode mypods and broomsticks  – i tried to link to the simpson website episode summary – but alas, there’s something askew in springfield and it wasn’t loading properly.  But if you haven’t seen it go! now! really, you know you can find it somewhere.

Four months post surgery, and here’s what my hand’s looking like. The scar comes and goes – okay, well the coloring changes depending on temperature and how much i’ve been using my hand. The pain is almost totally gone. Once in a while it feels “strange” but mostly I just forget about it! Healing ahoy!!

joe spent all this time seeding the pomegranate, but look how beautiful they are!!! had to share. tis the season!!

So we had some friends over for dinner on a Friday and i decided to do some serious comfort food. It’s been cold out and we were cooking for the masses, so I went with a nice pot roast dinner with roasted potatoes and carrots. It was my first pot roast (without my mom’s help) and it was super awesome!!! gonna have to make it again. Dinner came out great and the left overs can be made into anything – hense – chimichanga breakfast
It started out with Joe wanting to make some breakfast tacos with the left over pot roast. Then, the tacos morphed into chimichangas. Us, not being simple people, had to go ahead and make all the sides and serve it on a bed of fresh shredded lettuce. AWESOME!! just so good. in fact, my mouth’s watering a little as i type this. That’s it, i’m taking some meat out of the freezer today and we’re making pot roast again this week!!

rib eye and veggies

from 9/28/2009
steak and veggies – do you really need anything else. roasted carrots and asparagus to go along with some nice rib eye – okay okay – made a nice onion/balsamic vinegar reduction, and some rice. We just can’t say no to more more more.
