How to dine like a bachelorette, part one June 22, 2009

Filed under: Life in General, Musings, Random — holyshiitake @ 4:57 pm

Step 1.  Rifle through various food receptacles, and drag out the following: 2 eggs, packet of grated cheese, milk.

Step 2.  Begin to mix eggs, cheese and milk together for scrambled eggs.

Step 3.  Add some feta cheese, as the packet says ‘best before 24th june 2009′.

Step 4.  Add some taco seasoning to make an otherwise boring serve of scrambled eggs more interesting.  Sniff, then add more.

Step 5. Remember that there is 1kg of frozen corn kernels sitting in the freezer.  Drag these out.  Do not defrost.

Step 6.  Add three times as much corn as you intended to due to the fact that the bag is heavy and completely full.

Step 7.  Put some bread in the toaster.

Step 8.  Cook the corn/egg/taco mix, frantically praying that the extra water from the frozen corn will evaoprate before the egg gets soggy beyond repair.

Step 9.  Allow toast to go cold while waiting for the above to happen.

Step 10.  Arrange toast and egg/corn/taco seasoning conglomeration onto a plate.  Serve with coffee.

Yeah…how about NO?  Is NO good for you?  NO is good for me.

Am I the only one totally put off by Facebook’s stupid ‘personalised’ advertising?

Made from purdy hand dyed wool that I bought from the markets last weekend.  Good news is that I have enough wool left over to make a second one to sell!  Hooray for wool, and money, and…stuff!!

An Ode to Cheese by James McIntyre (1827-1906)

Ode on the Mammoth Cheese
Weighing over 7,000 pounds

We have seen thee, queen of cheese,
Lying quietly at your ease,
Gently fanned by evening breeze
Thy fair form no flies dare seize.

All gaily dressed soon you’ll go
To the great Provincial show,
To be admired by many a beau
In the city of Toronto.

Cows numerous as a swarm of bees,
Or as the leaves upon the trees
It did require to make thee please,
And stand unrivalled, queen of cheese.

May you not receive a scar as
We have heard that Mr. Harris
Intends to send you off as far as
The great world’s show at Paris.

Of the youth beware of these,
For some of them might rudely squeeze
And bite your cheek, then songs or glees
We could not sing, oh! queen of cheese.

We’rt thou suspended from balloon,
You’d cast a shade even at noon,
Folks would think it was the moon
About to fall and crush them soon.

…as you do.
