… keeping my boasting/bragging (albeit well deserved to a minimum) since I hardly heard a peep outta y’all first time ’round mentioning my accomplishments … one of my greatest blogposts ever BTW (should keep re-blogging the shit outta that one … it was THAT fucking good, lol). Seemed to have a bit more success three months later while keeping it short and simple when greatness struck once again. And now it’s my ninehunny … 3 1/2 years of danistrulytheman WordPressing it … March 17 – St. Paddy’s Day to be precise; as if I ever need a legitimate reason to lift a pint of Guinness, lol. Drop comments/likes if you want … if you don’t, then don’t … it don’t matter to me motherfuckers … NEVER will I be Shot Down In Flames again … ain’t it a shame …

FYI: Starbucks isn’t in the wifi-fixing business!!
… they’re in the COFFEE SELLING BUSINESS!! Quit pestering employees ’bout your iPad’s hitch, bitch … AND quit budding in line, tryin’ to pull this fucking stunt on me. Stop bothering the busy baristas, wasting their time … AND mine … with your bullshitsilliness … I went to the Apple Store and ordered a Starbucks, lol!! 👿

fifty seven point eight seconds
… lowered my mark for the third successive timed run with a personal best … 57.8 seconds. AND, finally obliterating that stubborn sub minute barrier in the process … but honestly can’t see much more improvement. I’m hopeful to go below 55 seconds eventually … even that’s a lofty goal … only time will tell!! 😉
braised oxtail
… in a hearty Sangiovese/beef broth sauce w/ sundried tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic on a bed of buttered egg noodles … Happy B-Day Tiff!!
Q: If you take pictures with your iPhone while you’re dreaming, will they be saved to the camera roll when you awake?
A: NO!

“boy, I’m really bothering you today” – Starbucks customer
… ANNOYING Starbucks customer?! Person directly ahead of me, with all her silly requests, AND taking her sweet-ass oblivious time … with all her changing of silly requests to sillier ones as well, keeping the queue stagnant … as if the Starbucks world revolves around her. Order yer shit and scooch outta the way cunt!! These were her last words to patient Starbucks-barista-dude when she finally was finished … little did she know it wasn’t him, but ME she was bothering at the time. 👿
It’s fucked up that a man’s life can just be attacked
Watching this morning with a beer is much better than relying on
Unknown cunts for mates I was given that don’t have my back
It’s not my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans
No one’s really there fighting for you in the last garrison
No one except yourself that is no one except you
You are the one who’s got your back ’til the last deed’s done

reconstituted rehydrated … redux
… yesterday’s leftovers; collard greens, tomato sauce and potatoes that I baked. Knew that it wanted more liquid/sauce, so today I added between 500 ml and a litre of water and stove top cooked it (basically reheating, letting it slowly simmer) in my All-Clad saucier. Transforms it to more of a soup/stew … just loosened it up, and changed it completely. A few pics y’all.
mine’s a tale that can’t be told, my freedom I hold dear
potatoes and collard greens
… completely made this up. Had a Lock & Lock container of leftover homemade tomato sauce w/ chopped collard greens (was from my baccala holiday meal) in my freezer, and a 20 lb sack of spuds sitting chilly in my root cellar (ok, I don’t REALLY have a root cellar, but my parents did when I was a kid, lol). I defrosted the collard green tomato sauce (put the ice chunk in a sauce pan on low heat), peeled 6 or 7 potatoes into large chunks … oh, for added flavour, thinly sliced a Spanish onion and sautéed till translucent … then combined everything thoroughly and dumped it all into my Le Creuset Stoneware dish to bake for an hour … voilà, danistrulythemakingshitupman … 💡
Someday I’ll steal the spark I will burn your doubt away – I’ll find a way
have you come here to play Jesus?
for whom the bellwoods tolls
… Bellwoods Brewery y’all!! Ambled on over after our Ossington Ave. Wonderboy birthday brunch. These hipster places are popping up all over, and it’s these doofuses who insist on letting everyone know how great and cool these places are with their geek tweets even though it may not be the case … as long as their social media fingers are the quickest outta the pockets/purses … but, I digress. I’ll speak the truth, PLUS I’m a beer drinker from WAY back with a shitload of experience under my 32″ waisted belt, so I kinda know my stuff. Here are my thoughts. I liked the beer (White Picket Fence Belgian Wheat, Bootknife (Belgian Brown)) enough, and I’m a HUGE fan of fresh beers, so they scored bonus points. But, there is no escaping economics, and these 650 ml bottle were priced too high, WAY too high – $5.85 (I recall, thereabouts in any case), and I won’t ever buy again due to that very reason. Saying you’re pricey is the proverbial understatement. A quick example/lesson of better beers w/ better prices; Beau’s Lugtread 4X600ml bottles – $15.85 … and my favourite night and day comparison – Chimay Premiere 750 ml – $6.00 … less 10¢ deposit to boot. Word to the wise, ya get what ya pay for … and my smart money’s on Chimay!!
1:01.4 – 1:00.1
… shaved off one second and a bit from my first timing. better than nothing right? not really when it comes at the expense of a pulled groin. 😕
