I Lost My Fangs!

Seriously..for reals...I lost them..My fangs...just to clarify...Not the thirty-two teeth with which we have all been blessed..or cursed..depending on personal dental experiences.....I see a joke in that sentence, however I'm going to just move along...I know when it is best...However, I purchased, for $.99 at The Fred Meyer..these super cool vampire fang teeth...

They even glow in the dark...and before you even say anything...I lost them...yep...took only a few hours....I turned off all of the lights hoping they would be found while I conducted my search for my missing fangs..nope...I suspect that Smurf has something to do with their disappearance...

I'm terribly frustrated, as I hardly had any time to play with them...and I was going to take them over to the wall..I have searched everywhere...I am trying really hard to let it go..it is hard...soooo hard...

"Mama...your fangs were super cool and such...I wish they could be found...I know it would be a hoot around here, and perhaps we could scare off that Mothra chick..."

She has an excellent point....exceptional...And, speaking of Mothra...I found something else at The Fred Meyer...it will mollify our 'situation' until that chainsaw juggler can come over here and take care of things..I hope you are sitting down...these are super-duper cool and awesome...sorta, kinda, maybe like certain chainsaw jugglers...

They are everything the package claims, AND them some! 
Yep...totally...absolutely..without doubt...hahhaahah...no, not really....
I am just saying that hoping Mothra becomes panic-stricken by skeletons hanging in my kitchen...That is where they have been placed....


Do you know why the skeleton didn't jump off of the bridge???...he didn't have the guts...hahahahahaha...

"Ohhhh, Mama...boo and hiss...bad joke...However, I dig those super-cool skeletons...One of your better decisions...Way to go, Mama!"

Skeletons, missing fangs and bad jokes aside..we did make some food this evening.  An experiment, of sorts...Although there were no explosions..Sorry to disappoint..perhaps tomorrow night ;-)  Explosions are underrated...there should be more, IMHO...It's cool to see stuff just blow up...it is...I know my stuff...

Jeff had lots of extra tomatoes...which I picked up the other day..where they sat in my kitchen...almost too long...fruit flies were right behind the corner..so I decided to make spaghetti sauce and some meatballs..and I thought, what the heck, I'll cook up some pasta...how could you go wrong with that????


These tomatoes are just beautiful..I have about twenty-five pictures of them...I'll only share one..but they are hmmmm....Just like....

I rinsed and cut into quarters and placed in a dutch oven to cook down and reduce..

Add Italian herbs, balsamic vinegar, red wine, olive oil, garlic and soy sauce...

They reduced on the stove-top for a few hours...and then I strained them through the strainer thingy...again, my stellar culinary lingo continues....I do not disappoint...tisk-tisk....It's my Klass...yup, it is... ;-)

Shall we move along to the components of our meatballs...

Ground beef and a bit of Italian sausage.  Garlic, Italian herbs, a splash of soy and whipping cream, a handful of panko bread crumbs, pepper and part of an egg...These will become meatballs...balls of yumminess..yay!!!  I stuffed mozzarella into the middle of the meatballs..it is just the right thing to do...seriously...you need to trust me on this one..I may have lost my fangs, but I have not yet lost my mind...

I then browned these little vessels of deliciousness in my skillet, which is full of justice..in case anyone had forgotten...And you will not forget once you see them in the previously aforementioned skillet...ummmmm....

We then add the skillet contents to the sauce..where they have an opportunity to meld flavors..get to know one another, so to speak...it's best...they need a little time together..

See...as I had previously mentioned...don't they make a beautiful couple???

"Aw...Mama...please...Can we just have spaghetti...and can we stop searching for your fangs..they're gone...get over it..I am tired, hungry and a big crab....Let's move things along..."

Jeesh...You'd think after the ten thousand walks we took she would be a bit nicer...after all, we have those super-cool new skeletons hanging in our kitchen...Some people are never satisfied...However, they will be after tonight's meal...It was DELICIOUS..and I seldom say that...but...those fresh, organic heirloom tomatoes make the best sauce..and you cannot beat a meatball with mozzarella...well, you could, and I am sure he would cry..but that would just be downright mean...I'll stop...Here's dinner....

Heaven on a plate...and the next best thing to a chainsaw juggler...

We did, of course, shake a little booty and listen to some Bloodhound Gang...I'm addicted..I can't help myself...like when it comes to private investigators...and gadgets and inspectors of gadgets...  We are still searching for our fangs..I just KNOW they are around here somewhere...and they will be found...stay tuned, my friends..Fangs are fabulous and fantastic...like chainsaw jugglers... in case you were curious..like myself..I'm a very curious kinda gal...See you tomorrow...Thank you for checking us out...I know it was a painful experience...but we're better than the dentist!
