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

this IS NOT a baseball blog!*

*disclaimer

But, I do love the sport, and especially my TO Blue Jays, and, the American League East in particular! I can’t believe its competitiveness, and wanna give y’all an insight to what’s going on right now… the fourth place team (NY Yankees) are currently 76-55 playing .539 ball. This puts them in second place in any other division in the Majors. Yet, in the AL East, they sit in fourth… but, here’s the thing… they still have a legit chance to win the division! All other division leaders appear a lock to win (w/the NL West being a possible exception; and that’s dubious). MLB‘s nail-biting excitement is right here in my backyard! My Jays rock! My AL East rocks… I rock too, lol!

… back to my regular bullshit blogging program!

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!

crouching tiger selfies!

… has been WAY too long, and was crouching, lol! will be my last at my beloved dirtydozenwick! and, will miss it so much, everything about it, the good (and, the bad), despite my love/hate… i will DEF miss my time/life these past two years! i was blessed to be here! and, i will forever be appreciative, and will never forget any of it… thank you! but soon this chapter closes, and a new one begins… that’s life folks. today, thought i better capture my remaining time as a personal momento (plus now, am hoping/wishing my new place is more favourable (lighting, no crouching, lol, etc.) for selfies!

Saturday Spa-ghett!

technically Fileja Calabresi, but spewing that three times fast is a mouthful of marbles gone horribly sideways, plus ain’t alliterative! in any case, is spaghetti epitomized to the nth degree… and then some!

danssauce is a culmination of time+effort… as well as my superduperchefskillset!!

… and for all ya foodies out there… shite def don’t get better than this!!

meatballs w/ an oxtail kicker!

… that’s right!! started w/searing a beauty piece of oxtail before doin’ ma regular meatball thang (this is shit i make up as i go folks, i swear)… was looking to give that extra depth of flavour. is perfect when ya think ’bout it… my meatballs are veal & pork, the beef completes the meat trifecta – genius! btw, deglazed w/white wine too for more oomph! and, we chefs love oomph! purposely wasn’t shy using a shite-load of homemade sauce filled to the le creuset brim today either! why? how do you spell leftovers? l-e-f-t-o-v… never mind, lol! sides of creminis and hot (i mean, HOT) ontario peppers are the perfect compliment. at this point no skimping… olives too y’all! decided on my famous meatball sang today, provolone, romano def don’t hurt my fave/best (ok, ONE of, lol) italian meals ever! finished w/an obligatory splash of masi of course, and … roberto’s yer zio!!
