We Strive For Perfection....

Heck, isn't it obvious...my ability to perfectly perfect perfection...especially considering the spectacular vernacular (and I secretly used that because it rhymed...rhyme is great, but only if you have the thyme)  Sorry...I've been gone for 10 whole American days....I couldn't help myself..I do lack self control...I sense another joke, however, it is early in the blog and I don't want to frighten anyone off, so...anywho.....We also have phenomenal photos...yeah..that IS how we roll over here on the west side..the blog is FILLED with all of that and then some...now as Tribe Called Quest said it best...I need someone tall, dark and handsome..and while I met someone fitting that description on the plane..that is another blog and I guess we can't have everything....I'm just wound up...again, it has been ages since I have blogged..and I've been hanging out with the distinguished gentleman whom resides in the penthouse apartment on the fourth floor...it's all his fault! ;-)  So here we go yo, here we go yo...so what's what's the scenario....no batteries included..no strings attached..

"Oh, my dear Mama...what about Busta Rhymes????...and that cute guy on the plane???...and the Timberlands???..and the beanie???...I am so glad you're home...However, I was under the impression your driving would have improved...or you would have had something witty or insightful to say...or at least a lame joke...I am a tad disappointed...we shall leave it on that note..."

I managed to find a toy..somewhat humorous in nature..the Tower of Bunnies...the packaging alleges it is "Fun For Everybunny!"  It includes 30 colorful bunnies...5 tower discs, 2 carrot hooks and a color cube..(aka die)..I did have nothing better to do, so I chose to build a bunny tower...now I am taking bets on how long it takes a cat to knock it over...but I do recognize the potential in this toy...it has endless possibilities...it would make for a spectacular drinking game...it is Easter Time, as R.J. Rabbit so eloqulently stated..those rabbits ALWAYS know the right things to say...they do!  I blame the influence of Bugs Bunny...and now I just want to go to Albuquerque...and have a carrot or two..maybe dig a hole..that whole hole digging might not be a bad idea....and that was just wrong on a multitude of levels..again..I do realize...it is only I whom finds myself funny...

We really should move along....there is food to cook...and a plethora of bad jokes to make...some bootie to shake...we need to make up for lost time...six days on the East Coast...it can be traumatic...hahahhahaha...nah...I just enjoy the drama...But since I did nothing but eat Middleswarth Chips and Cheesesteaks and Park Pizza and had ZERO vegetables...I felt it necessary to make something a bit healthy...Cod, Spinach and Potatoes...stay tuned for the gory details...you'll have zero regrets...for reals!

Dinner Components: Cod, Olive Oil, Butter, Flour, Potatoes, Garlic, Pancetta, Spinach, Chicken Stock. Lemon, Asparagus, Sherry, Cream Cheese and Cream (the last two weren't featured...I still tend to be a tad on the forgetful side..please don't hold it against me...again, the whole WIP thing hasn't gone away..much to your chagrin...

Dredge your cod in flour with pepper and garlic powder...

Proceed to brown in none other than a pan...yup...I spared you all sorts of mysteries and such this evening...who would have thought a pan could do such things????

"Mama....I'm filled with regret...and I live in this apartment..You said all of that AND you didn't bring back Pierre??????  You promised!!  He's sooooooooooo cute!!!!"

Pan Sear your asparagus...now this photo may appear as a bit of over-kill, but it is just me..I only required a trio of spears...and that just made me laugh...I suppose we can thank the world there aren't three Britneys...it's bad enough we have one...and, yeah..I did just say that out loud...but you KNOW you were thinking the same thing...

"Oh, Mama...for reals...yikes!  Oops!...I did it again!  Hahahahhahahaha"

Proceed to forget the aforementioned comments, and we shall concentrate on spinach!  It is from ancient Persia, it has a high nutritional value and packed with anti-oxidants...they cancel out those martinis..they do..for reals..two out of five physicians would tend to agree with my highly scientific deduction....those two physicians are in rehab, BTW...It was necessary to disclose that information...hahahahaha...

Pan Seared Cod, Smashed Potatoes, Sauteed Spinach with Frizzled Asparagus...topped with lemon cream sauce and crispy pancetta.

Shall the complaining commence...it's a family tradition...we do like to complain...it's inherent...genetic, in fact...the asparagus was too limpy, for lack of a better word and that's my best excuse...hahahaha...thank you, Billie Joe..oh, and the lemon cream sauce was SUPPOSED to be more lemony looking..c'est la vie, I suppose...But, it was delicious...

Well, my internet friends..I tried my best..considering it was my first meal in almost two weeks...I have found it's just like riding a bike....or shaking bootie...or chair dancing...they've all come back...and we did particpated in quite a bit of both...Thanks to Tribe Called Quest...but, I still desire to become Canadian and meet up with Pierre...merely a pipe dream..AND an album by Puck...aka Mark Salling..AKA one of the top five cutest guys EVER...AND he has the same birthday as me...I always knew August 17th was memorable!  Oh, eventually I will break the news Canada that I am on my way...I only hope it won't be all too tragic...Some day I will find my way....I shall say goodnight..and my trip to PA was astounding....Here we go, yo'...g'night!  Peace...see ya later!!  Hugs and kisses from Written off Penny....

This evening's blog is dedicated to one of the world's greatest crabby-faced and sweetest cats ever...R.I.P. Joey...Be sure and tell Mama Kitty we all said Hello....
