New Post

Well hello there everybody in the blogiverse, blogging blindly, bellowing out posts so blogtastic that I can't blogpare.

I have been away for a while and frankly it is mostly due to the demon spawn cretins that are my cats.

But enough about them. The two things that killed my blog in accordance with those aforementioned apartment destructors is an unstable internet connection and the fear that my next whim might create another hum drum contest. No more contests.

Unless of course I think of something super-awesome....

I don't have a whole lot to say here, so I'll talk about the weather.

It is 50 something in this lovely city, with infrequent drizzly rain and promise of an even more precipitous weekend. Oh well, at least it isn't volcanoeing, snowing, tornadoing or flooded.

Since I have been gone, there was a historic election on the onset of a major economic collapse and when America flew back from it's honeymoon with what can only be described as the perfect family, we found ourselves wondering whether we were going to be able to return to our consumptuous past or some sort of freaky mutant appropriate future.

Still wondering.

I would indulge in the thought that because I am close to DC I will not be as horribly affected as most of the country, but unfortunately my cholesterol has spiked again and gorging myself isn't even healthy on a personal level. I do have a food processor now, and that thing is the coolest.

I made some pasta sauce yesterday out of onions, garlic, and tomato paste. It was really good, and I have a little more in the fridge.

About halfway through work today a lady from a different department walked by and said "it smells like Subway in here". Then I started to notice onion smells coming from right around my desk, and my one neighbor wasn't around, and the other was out for lunch. I honestly thought it was me for about ten minutes until I saw my manager who sits in the office catty corner to me chomping on some onion rings.

That is officially the only time I have questioned whether or not having a food processor was a good thing. If you don't have and/or use a food processor on a regular basis you are sub 21st century human as far as I am concerned. I wish it was a little bigger, but other than that, I can't complain because it just muderizes healthy type food into small little bits. I am not sure exactly how to make apple sauce, but I have apples and I think if I hold the magic button long enough I will at least end up with the consistency. Add some sugar, cinnamon, maybe and cook it for a while???

Comment if you know please.

I want it smooth, because in my line of thinking, chunky applesauce is for fast food eaters and pacifists. If you ain't spinning blades, you ain't cooking.

So now you're caught up, let's have some fun.
