Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew there ain’t nobody cooking but me and you

Hey motherphuckers, I just wanted to drop this quick note. I overheard my mom talking to my uncle last night as they were doing dishes –

You see, Crystal is more of a cook by feel. Whatever looks and tastes good, is how she cooks.”

“Eddie follows the directions – he measures everything exactly.”

Not today. Get this:

I was making hashbrowns for brunch today. Randomly putting some spices in. Then on the spur of the moment scrambled the eggs, and threw them in with the hashbrowns.

Pretty crazy huh?

But wait. Wait, there’s more.

I

Added

Cheese.

That’s right people, I put something that I never put into hashbrowns.

Boom. Mike drop.

Stand there like a ghost shaking from the rain

So I’ll probably be cooking some Vindaloo tomorrow. Just need to get one spice, and the regular stuff (onion, tomato paste, etc). I got a couple of chicken breasts, and I’ll add some potatoes, and probably have it over some rice.

As I was searching a couple of days ago for spices for the bbq sauce I made, I ran into some Chinese five spice. I was blown away.

Really? C5S? I remember looking for this as Crystal and I were trying to cook something. We ended up making our own. How did this end up at Shady Acres? Mom said she used it once. Then it was put to the back of the spice cabinet.

Because, ketchup is spicy.

I won’t introduce curry ketchup, or curry wurst.

Just another manic Monday

Well, it’s Monday. I’m up, showered, and have a cup of coffee in front of me. I got the local CTV news station on. It’s a crisp 6c outside this morning.

I have the ingredients for a snack for Neal on the counter, I’ll try to elbow my way into the kitchen to make that, while my mom is outside taking all the green tomatoes off the vine, and retiring the plants for the season. It’s getting colder and colder at night, so before they die from frost, they’ll go away.

My German lessons are going well, having some problems with you/I/they/we but I’ll get it soon. I finished 3rd in my league, so I got to move up to the next one. We’ll see if I finish in the top 5 this week. I tell myself it doesn’t matter, but I keep looking at the standings.

Why, yes, frau I do have bread. I sliced it yesterday. There may be more bread being made today. I’ll stay out of the way of that. I learned yesterday, that I don’t know how to make gravy correctly. It was totally a Leviosa not Leviosaa thing. I put down the whisk, and left the kitchen after that.

So have you read my Twilight review from yesterday? What? You haven’t? Sacrilege! Keep scrolling and read it. It’s gold, Jerry, GOLD.
