Replace my face

I am a geek. And as a result, I absolutely love that video game series "Resident Evil". Well, one lazy afternoon my mother was lying on the couch with me while I was playing. She asked me about the game. I made some comment about the zombies eatting my character's face. She then said (in reference to the health items) "oh, so you take that to replace your face."

School, as of late, has been eatting my face. The stress of it all has pushed me to the limit. On Tuesday I have my final panel review that will determine whether or not I will graduate. This, my dear readers, is why I haven't been posting. I've been busy having my face eaten by the mindless zombie that is my portfolio review. My thanks to those of you who have checked back in my absence to see if I have updated. To show my appreciation, here is a George Michael music video. I totally love this song.

One year and a song

It was a year ago today that I showed up at Jefferson's house, desperate to wash the bad feel of a bad break up off of my skin. Jefferson not only helped me cleanse myself, but overtime he grew to be a dear friend. I've made other friends through him, and had experiences that I probably wouldn't have had if it weren't for him. I'm grateful for the things that he has given me, the opportunities and favors offered and given, but much more importantly I'm happy to have had his company and friendship over the last year, so thank you, it's been a hoot and a holler, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for us.

Now, I am feeling particularly generous right now seeing as I actually managed to give myself my first orgasm this year all by my lonesome!! I actually had more than one; I lost track around 15. And I was listening to Ingrid Michaelson's song "Far Away" (which put me in such a good mood) while I was doing this when I looked down at my body. And I looked up and said out loud to myself "You know on rare occasions I don't like that I'm female. But I wouldn't give it up for anything; I love being a chick. 'Sides twat's are a hoot."

And then I threw my head back and howled with laughter. Yes my friends, life is good.

Mac & Cheese

It's raining. The rain makes me hornier than a goat. I feel like baaah-ing.

In lieu of smut, I'm going to share a recipe with you that I took from Fanny Farmer, and modified it. Because food and sex are very closely linked with me, and I'm not quite prepared to give away my modified version of chicken marsala, my primo recipe. So anyway, you can put in any kind of cheese and veggies you like, but I'm a pretty straight forward kind of person, and I will give you the foundation here that I work off of, depending on my mood or who I'm cooking for.

Mac & Cheese - serves 4:

9 ounces of macaroni

3/4 cup grated cheese

1/2 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs

2 cups cheese sauce (below)

The Sauce (Makes 2 cups):

2 cups of milk

4 tablespoons of flour

4 tablespoons of butter

salt and pepper

And about 1/2 a block of cheddar cheese. Miss Farmer reccomends 1/2 cup, but it's very bland in my opinion, so I tend to get a little happy with the cheese grater. I'm sure you can over do it on the cheese, but I've yet to reach that point. Lately I've been putting in up to 3/4s of a block, but I wouldn't do anymore than that.

I generally tend to put in enough to make the sauce a nice orange. Like Garfield, a nice Garfield orange. Okay, maybe a little lighter than Garfield, because more cheese gets added later.

Making the sauce: Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add in the flour, when the butter has melted add the milk and stir it constantly while it thickens. Add the cheese. Stir this until the cheese melts and it's to your liking. Add salt and pepper to taste. It's important to keep an eye on the sauce because you don't want the milk or butter to burn.

I like to start the pasta while I'm making the sauce to make things more time efficient. So boil the pasta however long the box says, I think it's about ten minutes, and then drain it and put it into a 1 1/2 quart buttered casserole dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Pour the sauce over the top and work it in with a fork or a spoon. Put more grated cheese on top of this, I'm usually pretty generous with my cheese usage, but it's pretty hard to screw up mac and cheese, so do what feels right to you. Then add about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs on top. I like to use the Italian flavored ones, gives it a nice zing.

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until the top is a nice golden brown and it's bubbling. Let it cool and then you're good to go.

Satisfaction

My web class finally paid off because my e-mail is up and running again, so my blog is no longer under construction. So yay for that!

The Sound of Music - Rogers and Hammerstein, 1965

This has been one of my favorite movies since I was about 4 years old. And everytime I see this scene, I always laugh my head off. But maybe that's because I insist on singing it with my own interpretation on the voices. I even yodel. How sexy is that?
