janie jones… ‘n jennie too!

trip j’s… google the shit outta janie jones, it’s that cool! my girl gettin’ swallowed ‘n gentrified in her neck (literally) of the leslieville woods. double d’s (chicago deep dish pizza) doublin’ down… settin’ up shop doors down soon too! she’s sittin’ (laid-back hipster-chic, ‘n lucky-duck) pretty, that’s fer sure. after not seeing jennie for 2, perhaps 3 years??… she didn’t miss a beat, and kept going on and non-stop on w/profound life-living advice. what an incredibly uplifting, awesome soul. plus, she didn’t stop working the whole time we conversed and visited. AND, when i was ready to leave… said she was gonna give me a hug… she stopped working, then stood up and came over to give me said hug, lol. and, lucky for me… it lingered! thanks again for your insanely inspirational guru wisdom girl! i will continue to take it to heart, as i’ve always had. a part (HUGE part) of me truly believes i’m here, where i am in my life… the person i’ve become these past 3-4 years because of things you said to me in the past, and the influence/persuasion that only you’re capable of w/your subtle teachings! thank you, my friend… thank you thank you thank you!!!!

oh, and she STILL proudly hangs that awesome pic i snapped eons ago (i pulled it down to take a pic, of THAT pic, lol). doing so, i remember, she had it enlarged and printed… she was so happy, proud. i’m happy, proud too jennie! was SO good seeing you… and, i’ll be back to see you, learn more from you… you can count on that!

… jennie from the block y’all!

everything but the kitchen sink lasagna

the whole nine yards lasagna… was a coin flip, both blogposts work/rock! not one to be shy w/leftovers… #foodforafrigginweek! meat sauce is my most complicated, time involved, meatsaucemakingendeavourever. oxtail and veal are the stars of this show… took hours of low ‘n slow-cooking perfection. puts my awesome lasagna bolognese to shame, it’s THAT good! sheets are Italian (of course), these are the thick-ass ones w/wavy ridges, made from durum wheat semolina (of course, again). five cheeses – don’t ask, and went w/a chianti reserva to seal the deal! mangia tutti!

megamofodeepdishlasagna! now, that’s a blogpost folks!

round ‘n round we go!

Is how I’ve been… my brain frantically figuring out food for today! Thought I had it all set in stone last night too… Zin Zen was the plan, and don’t get me started on that one, woulda been the day of all days… the eats of all eats… the best $0.99 I ever spent! YES… 99¢ folks … y’all have no idea (OK, Caymus is a clue for sleuths in ya)!! But, Mother Nature stepped in (bitch… cunt, lol), and ultimately, ultra high humidity nixed it, nipped it in the bud! As a result, today dansplans kept changing, OVER AND OVER… at least dozen times! And, after much bustin’ brain against the wall (ok, pillow, lol), here is were we stand!

Fresh ground, hand formed burger, cremini ‘shrooms, heirloom tomato, swiss emmentaler, special sauce, on a buttered and grilled kaiser bun!

Verdict? Umm?!

… GUILTY!!
