Quantum LEAP year...

Ah, yes...leap year..once every four years we are fortunate enough to have an extra 24 hours...a time to enjoy this craptacular year just a tad bit longer!  However, we are not bouning..dancing.. or springing anywhere...But the day, well, it's been on my mind I couldn't help it..I have zero idea why..AND I had an entire arsenal of leap day jokes I wrote down in my hoot-owl notebook...then I contemplated...reflected, even..yeah..I did all of that on a Wednesday..then decided it would be best to keep most of those to myself..you are subjected to enough pain..suffering, perhaps...Again, as I have always professed...those two followers I do have, I'll take care of you...look out for you..do what is in your best interest...merely because I am kind...hahahahahaha... We have returned...to be honest, Monday I just blew off the blog...not the greatest idea, but it was a long day..and I wasn't all that hungry..and last night...well, um..I had, an, um..date..yup!!!  Who KNEW CPA's could be soooo much fun...well, that and cute?????  And I deal with a lot of accountants..so it was interesting...now, he wasn't as cute as the guy I met on the airplane..but, still..we did have fun...and I can totally blog about it because I can!  And, BTW..we're going out again on Friday..yup... Where were we????  Oh, yes...leap day..I feel as though I am an alternate universe..I had a ghetto conference call today, too..

"Oh, Mama..I love it when the boss can't figure out how to use the conference-call button on his land-line...proceeds to make the call, then calls you on his cell phone..and places both calls on speaker phone...THAT is one for the urban dictionary...IMHO, of course...Oh, and uber professional, too!!"

Again...I have lost all track of anything...where is my hoot-owl notebook..????  This evening's meal will cause heartburn...which is not nearly as bad as heartbreak...but it feels just as bad, IMHO...Pupusas de queso with shredded pork and curtido..Yeah, I wanted to be all fancy-pants just because...basically cheese stuffed tortillas with pork and pickled cabbage..however I thought the previous description possessed a little more enthusiasm and eagerness...it was a tad more stirring..adventurous...an ideal way to celebrate this extra day which we have been handed...We can set the world on fire...it'll be Fun..hahahahhaha...get it?????

Pork Tenderloin, Cumin, Oregano and Garlic..I used a bit of oil...not of the olive variety because I am out and keep forgetting to replace, so....canola, I think..but just a bit...

Season the pork and roast in the oven for approximately 25 minutes...400 degrees....I really wish I knew where the shortcut was for the degree symbol on my keyboard....WIP...yup...

Allow your roasted pork to cool slightly and shred....it shall soon become long, irregular strips of meat..that's a good thing!!

"Speaking of shredding, Mama...wanna hear an Enron Joke?????  You may have to 'Lay' down for it...'Ken' you take it???   hahahahahahahahaha..I jest....Dick Cheney has got it covered...he knows all of those unnamed people from those unspecified companies and they meet at an undisclosed location...he's good at clearing things up!!!  That's why HE is first in line to get into heaven...he's a giver...hahahahahhahahahah..."

Speaking of confetti...hahhaha...our pickled cabbage...I was too lazy to shred cabbage...so, I cheated..that stuff in the bag isn't all too bad...add vinegar, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, sugar and minced jalapeno...

Slaw components....remember...wash your hands after you have minced the jalapeno...and, whatever you do...don't touch your eyes...again, I speak from experience...

"I'm still writing March 1st on all of my checks!!!  This day last year, it wasn't..and we had four years to prepare!!!  Epic failure!!!"  hahahahhahahaha

Pupusas components...Masa, cheese and H20...

Allow the action shots to commence....and lightning man...he was dying for a minor plug in the blog...one cup masa...in a bowl..it's summer paradise..just ask Pierre...

Our soul is not yet broken...so we added 1/2 cup H20...mix..stir..shake things up...combine...I remember...was I dreaming...now you're not next to me and I am freezing...I hope this is not wishful thinking...SO..yeah..pupusas...they're on our agenda...I always stick with that...yup...

Roll out the dough...now..when I was in Belize, there were these ladies whom could make 100 of these an hour...and right before your eyes is 45 minutes of my time...consider yourself lucky that ghetto cam is sooo ghetto...I managed to make two..yup..two..AND if my walls could talk..well, um...yeah...shall we say there is an art to this step...one I do not possess...these pupusas are quite similar to sopes...without the cheese filling...but I don't really make a great sope, either...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....AND don't even think about trying to shake any type of bootie..your head will explode...again..I speak from experience...

Place cheddar and cojita cheese in-between your masa thingies....press to seal...and fry..I did have a few photos of the frying process...but, again, ghetto cam did disappoint...so...anywho....brown/fry a few minutes on each side...

"Oh, Mama...Why did the chicken cross the basketball court???  He heard the referee calling fowls!  hahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha"

Pupusas de queso with pork and curtido..version #1...

Pupusas de queso with pork and curtido...version #2...

It was rather tasty...and I enjoyed both versions of the photo..but I am an indecisive kinda gal...this was an unexpected surprise for a Wednesday night...much like CPA's...hmmmmm...oh, and cute guys on airplanes...maybe I should move back to PA..hahahahhahaha..JK.....Something one might need to ponder...tisk-tisk..enjoy today, as it is technically a free day....and it's lame..and it should be a paid holiday...simply because there really should be only 28 days this month..and I am not liking this...not one bit..but my rant has ended..As has this blog...you can breathe a gigantic sigh of relief...I feel your pain...I'm living it..yup...living the dream..hahahahahhaha..G'night...take me back..take me back...I'm trying to lift myself above these clouds..but it is an arduous task...someday...we'll be normal..maybe..and not a castaway...hahahahahhaa...I just HAD to squeeze a little Green Day in there..it was the American thing to do... ;-)
