"Yep...Olive us sassy gals love that Puck and Blaine...hahahahaha..get it, Mama???? They are pretty cute..maybe they could come over for martinis! Olive us together could have lots of fun...winkety-wink...I'm always thinking..yup..."
"Don't do it, Mama...please...put down the pink slime...if McDonald's can do it, I know you can do it! hahahahahahaha...I personally like pink slime, but then again I like to eat half-eaten burritos out of the gutter over on Dolph..so maybe it's just me.."
We did cook..however I will use that term loosely...food and stoves and pots and pans were involved..but this didn't take too long at all...after our late-January cereal binge of 2012, we don't have many groceries in the house..we'll leave it at that..and perhaps I can go shopping soon...Steak with blue cheese, horseradish mashed potatoes and asparagus..yup..it hardly screams 'original' so save it..hahahahahaaha...
Dinner Components: Steak, Balsamic Vinegar, Horseradish, Potatoes, Blue Cheese, Garlic, Butter, Cream and Asparagus
This was a rather thin cut of meat..and the Chuck Woolery style would have turned it into a hockey puck...I prefer watching Puck play hockey...hahaha..I'm kidding..maybe..he's athletic, I'm sure he could pull it off...Where were we??? Oh, so what I did was about a minute per side, but about 30 minutes prior to cooking, I stuck it in the freezer...so it would stay more along the rare side, yet the exterior would have some color..it seemed to work...
Once you've finished with your steak...deglaze with some balsamic vinegar and I added a little butter...I would have preferred sherry....again, we were out of that..along with a gigantic list of things...I'll spare you..but just this once...I feel kinda, sorta like being at least a little nice tonight...I don't know why..it's not really in my nature..hahahahaahaha..I'm kidding...maybe...
Add garlic..I was trying for an action shot..but garlic is sticky and it rarely tumbles gracefully out of the ramekin to allow for a nice action shot..it basically looks like me falling over my dishwasher door, flying off of a swivel chair and falling out of bed...how's THAT for an apropos visual...so, basically...it looks BAD..and not bad as in the cool bad...but bad as in the 'so terrible I may need to relocate to the Philippines and change my name bad...'
After your garlic has softened and such..add blue cheese crumbles..now I was able to capture an 'action' shot...I wouldn't call it great, but at least a few of the crumbles were photoed in mid tumble...I won't even go there this time around...hahahahaahaha...Allow those to melt..I added a little bit of cream but ghetto cam wasn't able to produce a picture that wasn't complete crap..again, I won't even go there...
"Well, Mama...when we have to run off to the Philippines..and I know it's gonna happen eventually...I think your new name should be Leaf..and I wanna be Maverick..I know that's a dude name..but I think it's cool...yup, I'd make an awesome Maverick..I caqn feel it in my bones...besides, wasn't he in Top Gun????"
Peel dice and boil a potato...add horseradish, butter and cream..and mash...I could probably pull a file photo of me mashing a potato, but I have this strong sense you really aren't interested in seeing that...no worries...neither am I..
Pan Fry asparagus...I love asparagus..It's another herbaceeus, perennial plant..you can't beat that..and it's Green! hahahahahaaha
"Oh, Mama..you're arousing my appetite with those tantalizingly delicious and appealing aromas....makes me wanna lick my little lips...where's that jar of pink slime???..hahahahahahaah"
Our Final Meal...It was rather tasty..but, as I have harped and harped..this picture sucked...I know what I'd like to totes tell ghetto cam and it does rhyme with one of the words in the prior sentence...again, I do have manners...most of the time...
I really had hoped for a better 'comeback' after the few days of eating cereal...but, c'est la vie, no??? I'm still on the French thing...I continue to blame Pierre and his voice and his full sleeve tattoo and the fact he's not a very good dancer, but that's OK..but he does like Pringles and that's a bonus in my hoot-owl notebook...And, sadly...there was little room for bootie shaking, as this preparation didn't take all too long..and we're rather tired...although we did listen to music...I'll spare you, yet again...Have a wonderful evening...we shall return tomorrow with something a little more creative and original..I hope..I can't make any guarantees...Eight days until I head back to Pennsylvania...we're in the single digits now..I can't wait, for once!! This is an exhausted Written-off Penny saying, g'night and such...
