It's on like Donkey Kong....

Yup...Thank you, Ice Cube..and not the ones currently chillin' in my freezer...tisk-tisk..Another winkety-wink Wednesday...filled with automobile photography..we had our weekly luncheon..which meant another trip into the big city!  We only slightly got lost, briefly...for a few minutes...so that doesn't really count...well, that could be a lie OR it could be carefully edited truth, hmmmmm??????

"Ya know, Mama...I'm not saying it was your fault..I'm merely blaming you...hahahahahahahhaa"

We did venture over to the east side...the north east..I have a little bit of trouble over there...it involves freeways and complicated things...again WIP...however, I did manage to snap a photo or two, while I was driving..I continue to improve...lucky for all of you I am the master of multi-tasking!  hahahahaha.

Downtown shot from I-5 as I was about to merge onto the exit for the airport...Now, I usually can get somewhere, it is the return home that is the problem...and not a bad shot considering that merge is a little sticky...the person behind me, I am rather certain, hates my guts...you get the picture...

My oasis...the Burnside Bridge..I know how to get home from here...once I reached MLK...and found this bridge...all was A-OK!

"Well, Mama...ya gotta remember to laugh at your problems...everyone else does!"

She gets worse each day..and the last thing I want to do is hurt her...but it's still on my list...tisk-tisk...Aside from our weekly gossiping adventure, there was cooking!  Soup..today was a perfect day for soup..It was cold, windy, rainy..However, not the ideal day to own a pet whom needs to be walked...nope...So we made Broccoli Cheese Soup..if you were a curious kinda individual...perhaps you are...The early bird might get the worm, but the SECOND mouse gets the cheese...hmmm...tee-hee...

Cream, cheese, butter, onion, garlic, nutmeg, broccoli and stock...please don't judge for the purchased stock..it is against my religion, however I was out...it's a weekday...I have a full-time job...you understand, I hope...I'll make it up to you, I promise!  For reals and such...
Saute onions and garlic in butter....then add a little flour and roux it up, so to speak...

Continue by adding your cream and broccoli...and simmer away..shake bootie, too...grab that wand...and your gigantic pencil, if you are currently in possession of one...only lucky people own those..just sayin'....

Broccoli is beautiful and delicious, too...shhh....

Isn't this a grate photo??????  I have such sharp wit...so I shall quit...Just dont get feta-p with me...Could I possibly milk this any longer????  I am a pun meunster....Nor am I one to brie-ze past an opportunity for a pun...Nah...my work here is done...hahahahaha...Like I told Jersey Boy...once you cross that continental divide...appreciation of puns is required...tee-hee...

"Mama...did you KNOW that Haikus are easy.  But sometimes they don't make sense.  Microwave!  Hahahahahahahaha"

Alright..alright..what just happened????  Shall we get back to our soup...this is surely a digression of eric..um, I mean epic proportions...It's one consonant away....EASY mistake...a mere key stroke!...well..um, yeah...anyway..our soup!

Add your greatly, grated cheese...yup...allow to melt..meld...combine...
associate...bind...blend..bond..conjoin...cooperate..fuse...synthesize..
network..I'm done...for reals...

The Almost-soup...as it finishes the cooking process and prior to visiting Bob, the blender...it was super-excited...as was Bob...they don't get out much either...can you sense a pattern????  tee-hee...

Amalgamate...incorporate...integrate...interface...again, I'll stop...

"By the way, Mama...did you know that good girls are bad girls that never get caught???"  Hahahaha...yea, I totally did, Eves...yup....

Broccoli-cheese soup...in a bread bowl...topped with cheese...there IS no such thing as too much cheese..nope..I read that on The Google..

The soup was comforting...it warmed one's soul...it made one forget about the rain and the wind, if only for five minutes...quite tasty...hardly low-cal, in case you cared..and because of that, I will NOT be having a peanut butter milkshake, although I truly would kill for one....Remember...some mistakes are too much fun to make only once, and I am a perfect example...tisk-tisk...Always move forward...going straight will get you nowhere...make soup..zero regrets...While you've not really had the time of your life, I hope you will join us tomorrow..we'll be here...I almost feel the need to apologize..tee-hee...
