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.

This has got to be the best use for St. Kevin’s Fuel Watch scheme I have seen so far. It doesn’t seem to have any real practical use, except to make the ‘working families’ more and more depressed as fuel prices climb higher.

I paid $1.65/litre to fill up my car last week. $60 bucks for 37 litres of petrol. Oh. My. Fucking. God.

I am infinitely glad that I don’t drive a big ass Mofo of a 4WD.

Don’t get me wrong, St. Kevin is infinitely preferable to our former boss hog who had a scary resemblance to Mr Garrison and he has done some groundbreaking things in the area of international diplomacy and social reform, but WTF was Fuel Watch ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO ACHIEVE???

BTW Kevvie if you’re reading this, can you make Toyota develop a hybrid Yaris please? I can’t afford a Camry. Thanks.

Low lying clouds on the distant hills.

A dandelion seed in a spider web.

An old dog-chewed frisbee.

An open package of Mersey Valley Vintage cheese.

A pair of rip-off Dior sunglasses.

A vintage leather coaster.

A crimson rosella in flight.

Paper cranes.

A towel wrapped around a pillar.

A photograph of myself, smiling blankly.
