I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

WHOAAA … that don’t even elicit a response????

… you fucking kidding me??  S’ok folks, go back to your old-time-standby-shit … your ABBA, or your whatever the hell it is … not seeing the forest for the trees along the way … by this time tomorrow you’ll get back to the cold

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be taking pills for pain

By this time tomorrow, I won’t love you like today
By this time tomorrow, I’ll fear the break of day

By this time tomorrow, I’ll have pissed away my pay
By this time tomorrow, I’ll be lonely yet again

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

By this time tomorrow, you’ll aim to miss your foot
By this time tomorrow, I’ll barely even look

By this time tomorrow, you’ll do what you been told
By this time tomorrow, you’ll get back to the cold

I’m gonna leave you, like I did before
You know you hurt me, when you said you needed more

By this time tomorrow, I’ll add wrinkles to my face
By this time tomorrow, I’ll only have a taste

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be nearly falling down
By this time tomorrow, you’ll be trying to dodge the ground

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be taking pills for pain
By this time tomorrow, I swear I’ll be okay

By this time tomorrow, you’ll bend me ’till I fold
By this time tomorrow, I’ll say goodbye cruel world

Don’t you leave me, like you did before
I know I hurt you, when I said I needed more

Don’t stop believin’

hold on to the feelin’ GREAT song, heard it this morning on my three minute drive to the gym, turned it LOUD … talk about getting pumped for my workout or what! And btw, that’s when Journey was STILL Journey … not some bullshit Steve Perry-less incarnation being passed off as Journey!

Some will win
Some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues

what’s it called when you always have your mouth open??

… goofy?! JOKING JOKING … talking ’bout the inability to close your mouth, having a open mouth perpetually! Waiting my turn in line at the grocery store, saw a cashier having this condition/infliction, and it’s something you don’t see often. She did have big/lots of teeth … ain’t even sure that’s the cause?! Anyways, did feel bad for her … life’s hard enough without enduring that shit … sorry honey!

I’m all out of hope, one more bad dream could bring a fall

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else’s pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool

I’m on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin’ to stay hip

Got no human grace your eyes without a face
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it’s getting worse

“I don’t know what it is, but something doesn’t smell right” – concerned Sobeys customer

… “Yeah, it was the salad” – unconcerned Sobeys employee. It’s never been on my list of go to stores. Allow me to politely and delicately explain. I find the clientele to consist of people I normally don’t see shopping in other grocery stores … a store where patrons proudly sport socks ‘n sandals like it’s nobody’s business. Can’t even tell you the number of times I’ve seen women with big-ass hair rollers pushing their buggies (I know who you are – have you no shame, lol?), parading about as they would if they were home alone, out of view of scrutinizing eyes. Newsflash Nellie: ya ain’t, lol! But this stench of spoiled food, Sobeys salad gone bad saga (and I ain’t exaggerating – that shit REEKED) wafting through-out store was the final straw … but not before I plugged my nose, quickly grabbed groceries I came to get, paid and vamoosed … THEN, it was the last straw!! 😛

a wheelbarrow challenged gardener is what I am

… and ’cause of this, I’ve got a broken back (ok, so NOT broken … but danisembellishmentpermitted VERY VERY SORE!! … goes nicely with my green thumb, don’t ya think?), at least a hundred 10 gallon buckets worth filled with dirt and then carried 20 metres to my mound broken back is what I’m talkin’ ’bout. Pity me, please! 😥

winging it … my first attempt

… and I know what I said, ’bout not clogging the blog, but I couldn’t help myself. I can’t believe how unbelievably simple everything is, even the clean-up … especially the clean-up. And that’s VERY important, nobody would use it if it were a pain in the ass. I read the usage instructions, and used what I had handy in the house. A handful of red grapes, one apple quartered (core & stem, the whole apple), half a frozen banana, and a handful of Europe’s Best 4-Field Berry Mix (blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) frozen fruit … oh, and just a bit of milk, maybe 2 oz at most … there you have it (there I had it, lol), my first Vitamix smoothie!!

Vitamix … it’s here!!

WOW, that was fast!! Ordered the fecking thing Sunday (bought it from an online shopping site), and Thursday afternoon am gushing like a proud papa. Ok, this is a quickie post, with a few pics (tryin’ to hurry … my excitement is gettin’ the better of me, lol). After posting, I first need to read all the info, really make sure I know the Vitamix front to back, don’t wanna fuck anything up. Plus, have tons of shopping still to do … and I know I’ll never Aspire (get it, lol?) to become a professional Vitamix blogger … but don’t be surprised if I occasionally show y’all my amateurish side! 😀

Shipped box is top notch, ya know what’s inside reeks of QUALITY

Grilled Greek

Sometimes pics don’t do the food justice. This is one of those times. Slightly pounded, then marinated chicken breasts … grilled them over hot coals to blacken them. Also grilled the green bean, tomato, and onion salad. And yes, I know I’m feta-heavy, but I REALLY REALLY love my feta, lol. A few pics y’all!!

Salad and chicken (a few olives too) platter

Blackened chicken – love the dark grill marks

My plate – w/ grilled pita, a dollop of tzatziki

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Duck Pancakes!!

Finally getting around to blogging about Tiffany K‘s Duck Pancakes – pulled BBQ duck, a heaping helping of blueberry compote, and a huge scoop of creamy chèvre piled high on fresh flapjacks (I know, sounds SO decadently good!) from our initial brunch outing in November 2011 at Barque Smokehouse on Roncesvalles. Hey, better late than never, ‘sides, ain’t as if yer payin’ a pretty penny for the quality of my work … so no complainin’, lol. Found this pic, actually two pics – two perspectives … take a look! Neat!

Special Chimay!!

Chimay Spéciale Cent Cinquante … it’s a limited edition Chimay, commemorating their 150th anniversary …. and it’s VERY hard to come by … my LCBO app has been working overtime checking for availability/locations. Picked up a couple of bottles the day it was released to the public (a mere 60 bottles for all of Ontario) … have a HUGE Chimay crush of late, if ya hadn’t noticed, lol!!
