Happy Sunday...it is a happy day, indeed, merely because I found a car key! There is nothing worse than being in possession of a vehicle, without a key!! I guess, in my younger years, I should have learned how to hotwire a car...although, The Google could tell me..and The You Tube...well, you can find ANYTHING on there...a step-by-step guide, in fact....I guess it is easier to be a criminal than I originally had thought...hmmmm...now my brain is filled with ideas!! I'm sure I wouldn't be in jail THAT long...besides...
"Um, yeah, Mama..why should you be denied the sublime joy of starting a car without a key just because you happen to drive a two-decade-old piece of crap...hahahahahhaa...or, merely because you're an idiot and you threw your keys down the garbage chute....Oh, and BTW...'keyless starting,' well that's a fancy-pants term for hotwiring...I felt you should know...I've been reading The Google...love it!!!!"
So, it was beautiful here today...like summer almost...we slept way too late and we didn't really accomplish much of anything..I know..sad...but I did manage to grab a few groceries...so we made soup and chicken salad..it hardly did set the world on fire...but that cute new CPA did agree to carry me home..hahahahahahaha...it's a shame it is tax season..ahhhh.....I can hear the choir...
Soup Components: Beef broth (yeah, zip it..at least it was organic..that always makes up for everything!!! hahahahhaah...I just didn't have time to make some..and it is hard when you don't get out of bed until 2pm..shhh....), White Wine, Red Onion, Bay Leaf, Butter, Thyme and Provolone (I don't do swiss cheese..ick..I love cheese, just not of the swiss variety...and not that I have issues with Switzerland..I love swiss rolls and swiss army knives, they are the ultimate multi-tasker!! Oh, and I love swiss miss hot chocolate..so you do get my point, no?????)
Thyme to cry...hahahahahahhaa...more so from my hideously horrible joke than the fact you have to slice an onion...but, yeah...thinly slice an onion and cry and cry....then listen to Tears for Fears..Break it Down Again...ahhhh....1993...thank YOU...that is such an AWESOME song...terrible video..but it was the 90's...
"Oh, Mama...the intro to that song...well, it's...it's just utterly spectacular...Here we go!!!!!!!!!!"
Add a little butter and olive oil to your Dutch Oven of Righteousness...We like to remain virtuous over here on the west side..shhhh....don't let those east siders know..hahahahahhaa..Add your sliced onions..
Add a bay leaf, or two...whatever floats your boat...
Add your thyme..but only if you have the...I'll stop...We're pushing almost 200 blogs..I have more than exhausted the joke..
I promise to stop...
Low and slow....two hours on the stove...low and slow...that is critical to caramelizing the onions...this is a HORRIBLE photo...I blame ghetto cam...but I don't know what happened...regardless...it was merely a prop to reiterate the fact your onions need to be cooked slow...and on low...should I say it again??? hahahahhaa
"Four Legs Good, Two legs Bad..Mama!!!"
I made chicken salad...no photos of the mixing process..after all, it was chicken salad..no fireworks there and such..but, I did turn it into a flower...I had a little spare time, some spinach and my imagination!! hahahahaha..or lack thereof, I suppose....I really should get out a little more often...
French Onion Soup...I added croutons (this step was not documented) as well as provolone cheese and placed underneath the broiler..long enough to make my apartment, and the entire floor, smell like one gigantic onion...
"Oh, Mama...did you know that all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others???? Kinda like people, no????? Makes ya think, does it not???? It's like Orwell was psychic...We are the 99% and not afraid to admit to such a thing...but..yeah...he was ahead of his time, that's for sure!!!"
The Final Dinner
French Onion Soup with a Chicken Salad Flower
I really wish I had a super-cool ramekin for soup..but, c'est la vie, I suppose...
Remember, it is impossible to say which is which...we should have more of these little talks...listen to more Tears for Fears and have more soup...The stars creep as you sleep...Have a wonderful Sunday night, although it is just about over...and that means one horrible thing....ick...Monday morning...double ick...yup...g'night my internet friends...I believe we shall return tomorrow...I think...it's written in my hoot-owl notebook, so I'll prolly see ya later...and I have some big news....yup...but I shall save that for later...and I will work harder!!! And great books are just like cute guys...you don't ever forget them...
