Do what I do best...

Much to our chagrin, no cataclysmic events occurred today..no worries...we're survivors...yep..we are...much unlike that bird I squished today...  For the record, I did NOT ask him to fly into my 4runner..nor did I go out of my way to hit him.  It was totally his fault..  I hit a bird one other time.  Way back in the day before I was an Oregonian.  It was a pheasant.....Lots and lots and lots of feathers...that's about all I can say, other than...ICK.

"Oh...Mama...I TOLD you to look out..it's a bird...it's a plane....no, for reals..it IS a bird.  Who knew they looked like THAT after hitting a 4runner.  I believe you said it best...ICK and maybe throw in a double ICK...Ick....I do like the boots, BTW..."  She knows her stuff AND she has great taste...much like her Mama...

We spent some time on the wall...Shook a little bootie to Green Day... Worked...Cooked...the usual.. Yeah, King For A Day...still one of THE best songs around...makes me crazy...kinda, maybe, sorta like chainsaw jugglers...

"Dear Mama....I concur..King for a Day rocks...just like chainsaw jugglers..but I do prefer your boots to those tired old flip flops...Ick...."

Well, footwear aside...we made our soup!  The soup, if you recall, I briefly mentioned last evening..the one that had gotten the shaft...Well, we made it tonight.  Total hands-on experience...

Go Go Gadget Soup Maker...Wowsers!...(I have many other gadgets up my sleeve.... shhhhhh....perhaps, one day, I will reveal the best gadget to the world wide web.....however, I suspect the chainsaw juggler knows....merely a suspicion...my nose is twitching....)

E.V., unfortunately, had a multitude of reactions....eyes closed, no doubt...

 "Stop...Shut Up.."
 "Where is my passport???"

She's precious...and totally embarrassed to have a nimble Ninja super-hero for a Mama...sometimes, anyway.....She does enjoy my cooking... "Well, quite frankly, Mama...you make me want to flee the country..."

Alrighty then....shall we move along....  The high-tech organization of tonight's cooking operation, that is how I roll...yep..shhhhhh..please keep that on the DL...

Red pepper, potato, onion, jalapeno, carrot, corn and garlic..ummmm...yeah...

Meatballs...with buffalo...way better than ground beef...for reals, totally, and tortilla strips, chipotle en adobo and chicken stock...

Cut up your tortillas....AND shake some bootie while you do so...no regrets!  Green Day will be proud...yep..totally!

Then deep fry your strips...hahhahahaha...seriously...they do require frying...it's not you, it's me and I can't help myself...I'm trying ....really hard...

Precious...Crispy...Delicious...Enchanting...like chainsaw jugglers, even!

Meatballs were an integral part of the soup...not your typical ones...more of the Mexican variety...

Ground buffalo, panko bread crumbs, garlic, chipotles en adobo...um..um..um...like...

You then proceed to chop up all of the vegetables.....and if you are lucky, your fingers remain intact and unharmed...well, yeah...mine did not...can I get a shout out for Band-aids!
No skillet of justice...however, allow me to introduce the dutch oven of rightfulness...equally as awesome...like those that juggle chainsaws...

We're getting soooooooo close to soup...I know, I know..before you even begin to complain..this will all be ending soon and you and breathe a huge sigh of relief...and move to Canada...That's OK..I promise not to tell..

"Oh, Mama...shall we just end this....the soup...we're hungry and such...I don't have all night!  I have bones to chew and things of that nature..."

Alright...alright...I promise to stop...Sometimes I just cannot help myself!  It is Bille Joe's fault...and that 2005 world tour...and the fact it is on the You Tube...and his little, cute red tie..and those black pants....oh, and that chainsaw juggler..I blame all of the above..Seriously..none of this is my fault..not one bit..nope..

Dinner, my friends...or at least the one person remaining...the cheese stands alone, no????


Add grated cheddar (from the great grater you own!), sour cream and jalapenos...Heavenly....and delicious!

It's fall...so be sure and fall down...only while shaking bootie and be sure and fall over your dishwasher door...hit a bird...become a nimble ninja...meet a chainsaw juggler...listen to Green Day....brush your teeth...become a fugitive of critical of mass...shhhhh...I promise I will not tell..your secret is safe with me...cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye..See all ya'all tomorrow...yep...I am not kidding..for reals...prepare yourself...you've been tipped off!
