...oh dear
anyone want to place a bet on how this will turn out?
Keep coming back for more suckage.
Camera
Far from finished. This is the camera from the picture in the previous post. Done in the similar style to Raymi's painting although I'm not sure since I have never asked her how she works. Mostly I want to say that she inspired me to try painting. I like her style. She seems to go for it without too much fussing or sketching-- again I don't know if this is true or not since I've never asked, but in any case watching her paint made me ask myself "what the hell am I so hung up about?" Click the link below to see her chair painting. Click on her name above to go to her main blog page.
Raymi's chair
A sturdy travel companion
This is my first serious camera purchased for me by my dad before I went to live with family in France for a year. It was a big deal for me to get this since I'm sure we didn't have that much money for such expensive things. I'll cherish it forever.
Things that had nothing to do with the other post are moved into a post of their own and given an extrodinarily long title.
Remember these?
Not my EKG, but prolly more like my brain waves as I attempt to RElearn some crochet stitches for the 1000,000,000,000,000,000,00 th time!!! AAAaargh!
Food porn update
90 minutes later through the magic of modern day technologies I am able to share with the entire blogosphere my recently procured food stuffs: Grilled vegetables salad, General Tso's surprise, pan fried noodles with vegetables. I had a little bit of the Gen. Tso's and grilled vegetables and am saving the rest for tomorrow.
I hope you enjoyed the amazing, hot, fresh, up to the minute blogging . I mean, I dug out my Etch-a-sketch, and ran out for dinner. Now I need to take a break from being so staggeringly awesome. Later.
What did you do today?
I'd love to have more of this again tonight. This was yesterday's lunch/dinner. Very yummy!
General Tso's surprise- all vegetarian too. I enjoy a ride on the veg-o wagon from time to time.
Yesss! I just found the to go menu I brought home... they are open till 10:00 P.M. tonight. I'm going to bail on this post and go get some munchies.

Why do I bother?
I'm tempted to end this blog and do my own thing elsewhere so I don't get any expectations from you visit the blog several times a day but say/ do nothing type people.

Lime bars- a culinary thrill in the making
Here is the crust for the lime bars. Butter and sugar-- gulp! Very good.. and I have to remind myself NOT to pig out when the bars are done. For those at home taking notes I am using an 8x8x2 pan.
Here is the lime, egg, more sugar, and a little flour mixture that is poured into the crust. The brown speckles come from coconut that I swiped from a coconut tapioca pudding mix. [Thievery in the kitchen is good.]
Uh oh.. not enough crust-o. Check out my diagram of crustological stratum. B.t.w I hope you all appreciate the extra time spent photo-chopping pictures on this blog.
The pudding which is now minus a few pinches of toasted coconut.
Hey now, nice tan!! This looks nothing like my fellow blogger's version of lime bars. Check it out, and don't tell me it's due to the fact I don't have a green parrot in the photo.
The tan is due to the fact I blog and surf the web while cooking. This, boys and girls is a no-no. Just look at the evidence:
Since I have no Severe macaw to sample my dessert and tell you how delightful it is I will have to take on the responsibility myself. First impressions.. Ow it's HOT! Kidding. It is very cake like at the edges and quite moist towards the middle. Very limey, and not too sweet ( I couldn't stand the thought of adding 1 1/2 cups of sugar so I made the filling with only 1 cup.) As if 1 cup of sugar isn't enough already. I'm sorry I didn't have the lime zest to throw in there, but limes were too expensive when I went shopping for them.
I have to say that Nellie and Joe's key lime juice is pretty good to use in this recipe- and for key lime pie for that matter. It is unsweetened and contains some lime floaties too (don't ask me what they are as the fluid isn't clear)--- okay this sounding like a toxic waste liquid. Back to the lime bars... The final vote: very yummy, but don't eat too many -remember there is a whole stick of butter in that crust!
Lentils are falling
Why is it one seldom if ever hears a weatherman say "hail to the size of lentils"? I suppose it isn't as dramatic as pea sized, or nickle sized.. or even hail the size of golf balls!
I had lentil size hail. Ho hum. I'll let you squint at my photograph to spot it.
