Get yer minds outta the gutter, lol!! perhaps I shouldda said “My Mile High Club” … or ‘Burger’, lol!! I mean that’s a sky-scraping tall burger … believe me, was hard wrapping my mouth ’round it … and hate to admit it, but I polished off the deuce (piggy-piggy, lol). Had leftover tzatziki, and Dodonis Feta so I did it greek-ish style …’cept I included grilled portobello mushroom caps!! You can see the juiciness oozing from the patties …

… and while I’m at it, am including my leftover spaghetti & meatball lasagna/casserole creation that I baked (and its serving presentation), no sense making a separate blog entry. Sliced the meatballs, added sautéed mushrooms, topped with provolone, and butter fried sage from my garden … beautiful touch, wouldn’t you say?

Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine

Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas
And you make them long, and you make them tough
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can’t get off

But tell me where do the children play?

Well you’ve cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
Will you keep on building higher
’til there’s no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?

I know we’ve come a long way
We’re changing day to day
But tell me where do the children play?

Was in such a rush trying to post on FB to pleez-my-peeps … AND was in a rush trying to feed the troops (ok ok, so troops are only Tiffany K. and danistrulytheman, lol), not sure I selected the best pic?! Think I prefer this one … although the one I showed the salivating hungry-heifers has its merits, lol!!

step off a train, all alone at dawn
back into the hole where I was born
sun in the sky, never raised an eye to me

there’s blood on the tracks, and they must be mine
fool on the hill, and I feel fine
don’t look back, ’cause you know what you might see

look into the wall of my mind’s eye
I think I know, but I don’t know why
questions of the answers you might need

I ain’t good lookin’, but I’m someone’s child
no one can give me the air that’s mine to breathe

I don’t really care for what you believe

I met my maker, I made him cry
and on my shoulder, he asked me why
as people won’t fly through the storm
I said listen up now, we don’t even know you’re born

so open up your fist and you will receive
the thoughts and the words of every man you’ll meet

get up off the floor of the leaving line
no one’s ever gonna ever ask you twice
get all the fuss and bring it all home to me

Not only did it pop into my head once, it did so twice!!

Another iPhone post … I’m on a roll, lol!! 😉

Ain’t gonna share many words with this one, will let the pics do the talking!! That’s my good man Morretti’s homemade Mason jarred tomato sauce. Added Cirio fillets for contrasting funky-chunky texture pizzazz!! Pasta is from Williams-Sonoma, a 500g (1lb.) dried pasta package of, yeah shit’s CRAZY expensive … to put it into perspective you can buy the same amount on sale here (obviously not the same quality), for 69¢ … who’s the big dummy now, lol!! Cast iron plate crusted meatballs done on my Weber, almost giving a deep fried effect. Note the purposely darkened meatballs lose-their-hue when soaked&slowly-simmered in sauce. Umm what else, Ace Bakery rosemary focaccia, Pecorino Romano … and the prerequisite glasses of Remole!! Goodbye summer, hello fall … a great reason & reintroduction for a stick-to-yer-ribs meal with my Tiffany K. … call it danistrulytheman’s-exorbitantly-expensive-spaghetti AND meatballs (my OWN recipe btw), lol!! Geez, MORE words, plus SO many pics (10), if this post don’t illicit a response? … pshaw, I give up!!

And I feel so much depends on the weather

And I feel it  And I feel it

Blogged about “Irresistible Force” on August !8th, before the video was released!! Here it is, enjoy!!

Damn right … THAT deserves a quote!! Love me or hate me … could give a rat’s-fucking-ass!! And since I’m on a quoting roll … “if you don’t like it, lump it” – danistrulythemansmom!! Oooooh, feels good to be back!!

Aged 21 days … we must be in carnivore heaven!! My local butcher opened a whole cryovaced loin, cut it to my size specs … two-inch-two-pounders, and let me choose the best of the three he cut!! Aren’t I special, lol? That’s some serious danistrulytheman love!! Not gonna be too descripitve today, let the pics do the talking … oh, sorry no butcher wrap raw steaks either … was working in the kitchen, completely slipped my mind. I served it with French Blue Cheese, and grilled ciabatta garlic bread (no pics of that either … my bad)!!

A few minutes on my grill …

A few minutes more, NOW we’re talking …

Charred & Glazed beauties (Tiffany K.’s secret BBQ sauce) …

Pink2Perfection … sliced with my trusty Henckel Twin Four Star …

Cremini mushrooms, and roasted Sweet Hungarian Peppers (wish I took pics of the blackened peppers before I scraped off the skin, damn … looked fucking awesome!!) …

… sweet peppers, admittedly hard to find too … ‘less you’re a pro shopper like yours-truly-danis, lol!! Luckily I know-where-to-go to find these beauties … Highland Farms, lol!! Showing my love for Hungary’s best didn’t end there, snapped up some paprika as well … and even though they’re famous for it, lately is much harder to find as well since the Spanish variety became all the phooey-foodie rage … blasphemy I say … that’s Goddamn Goulash … GIMME MY MAGYAR!!

outta my way
outta my day

dragging me down, why you around, so useless

it ain’t my smile
it ain’t my style
it ain’t my bitch

it ain’t my fall
it ain’t my call
it ain’t my bitch
you ain’t mine

… Spiels?, lol!! Ok, ain’t fucking much of a speech or story, just like rhyming … a few pics too of my day shopping at my favourite skincare store yesterday … Kiehl’s Yorkdale!! And puh-leeze don’t assume that ’cause I go shopping for such products that I’m not a man’s man … I’m all man, know that my woman would testify too!! Times they are a changin’ is all, count me in on keeping up …

Coupon incentive courtesy Tiffany K.’s smarts certainly helps … using my hand to block out personal info … btw, nice motherfucking ring danistrulytheman … AND mani, LOL …

Store sign …

But I’m on the outside, and I’m looking in, I can see through you, see your true colours … LOL …

And finally, the booty …

… and no, I ain’t tellin’ ya what I spent, so don’t ask … ‘less yer looking getting smacked upside yer head with my diver’s chrono, lol … real men don’t blather ‘n chatter!!

“You spent a lot of money, it’s yours to do what you want” – G-Woman … I OWN IT!! Mine, forever … that’s what she was basically telling me!! That was her response to my query when I called today after purchasing yesterday … truthfully my first question was regarding canceling, but hearing her say it the way she did gave me a feeling of extreme pride, and of undisputed ownership that I think I’ll motherfucking keep it!! But, I still have a bone to pick ’bout the cost of the fucking thing … was told it was TWO ELEVEN from someone who seemed like a reliable source, and STILL thought that was fucking expensive … and y’all know me, I’m very very very good with figures, so I know I ain’t mistaken … imagine my unpleasant surprise finding out it was TWO FIFTY-ONE … sheesh!! Way I see it … somebody owes me a double-double-sawbuck, pretty fucking sure and confident Dalton’s Gang won’t be doling out a Goddamn dime … well, well, well … lookie who that leaves, lil’ miss dependable, LOL!! I swear … I ever get a hold of ya … yer ass is grass!!

Sometimes you hear something in your day-to-day life that strikes a chord … gives you pause … this was definitely of those things, definitely one of those days!! Never even thought much of it at the time, didn’t dwell on it either … kinda hit me later … a delayed reaction. Then realized it was something with a deeper, profound meaning … whoever you are, whoever you meant … just wanna say it made me stop and take notice!! And NOW … I can’t get it outta my mind … sheesh thanks, LOL!! 😉

… use you for sandbags!!

3 numbers in my brain!! Love the consecutiveness … 7,8,9 … fucking perfect, and fucking meaningful!! Lemme explain … well sorta, lol!! Still gotta & gonna keep my cards close to my vest, hehehe!!

7: a lucky number (hopefully proves prophetic … can’t wait)

8: a day

9: a month

There you have it, three in a row … AHHHHH but here’s the rub … only 2 … actually matter!!  Have any real important significance!! Ya’ll good at puzzles? Good luck!! As of now, my lips are officially zipped, lol!!

Apologies Angus … and Bon, lol!! I won this Toronto Blue Jays jersey in a contest. An Alomar (recently inducted into baseball’s hallowed shrine … The Hall of Fame) jersey no less, name’s on the back, gonna have to trust me on that one. Drove this morning to-my-local-Purolator-where-you-come-to-pick-up-your-shit-’cause-you-weren’t-home-when-we-came-by-in-the-first-place-to-give-it-to-ya, LOL!! As I arrived, I noticed the CiNTAS The Uniform People dude doing the floor mat exchange thing that they do … apparently they’re not just uniforms, lol … as I was walking in to pick up my package. Returning to my car, I immediately (and excitedly) opened it wanting to check out my prize … and while I was fully aware it was an XL …holding it up gave me a new perspective on XL … to say I couldn’t contain my laughter is an understatement … and honestly was kinda distracted, I was giddy about the $20 enclosed gift card … BONUS, lol!! Waited a few minutes for big-boy to return to his van … yelled out at him, told him I wanted to give him this, a present from me to him … didn’t know him from Adam, but thought he’d appreciate it more than I would … he did tell me his wife loves Robbie Alomar too. Dude’s obviously a big guy, so I asked him how much he weighed … he answered two-twenty, but he didn’t stop there, wanted to tell me more (I’m trying to lose … blah blah blah, LOL) always an addendum when you go asking people their weight, lol. Even when I asked his permission for pics (promised not to show his mug, although I don’t think he wouldda minded or cared less) was happy to oblige not questioning why, or what my intent was (my FUCKING BLOG … HELLO, LOL!!), and both pics aren’t cropped/altered in any way. What you see, is what I shot!! His name is Justin as his name tag indicates … he thanked me, we shook hands … ’cause that’s what real men do motherfuckers … and I drove off. Wear it well!!
