Tasty Kitchen

So I like to read recipes on Tasty Kitchen. I usually don't bother to attempt anything, but always manage to salivate all over my keyboard.

Well today I made this. Oh my goodness, it was so tasty. No wonder they call the site "Tasty Kitchen"!

Of course I didn't have ALL the ingredients so I used lemon juice instead of lime and instead of the suggested hot sauce I used some leftover chili sauce that came with some awful Chinese take out I had not too long ago. I also added some veggies: broccoli, onion, mushrooms and green beans. That being said, I don't know if I could ever make this dish according to the recipe because I loved my version so much! If you kids get a chance to cook this week try this dish and do it any way you want, I'm sure it will be fabulous!

Oh and randomness for the day:

I am LOVING this song right now:


I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! Happy November!

Dance!

So I just bought the best of Brigitte Bardot.

She was a french star of the 1960's.

She can't really sing, but it's fun music and Brigitte seems like lots of fun. Plus, I think I recall seeing a special on her when I was in France. That, or my host mother had tried to convince me I had heard of her when in fact I hadn't so she went into deep explanation of who she was.


And that video makes me think of this video:

Gotta love Audrey!

Mr. Pitiful

I have discovered a new singer/song writer that I love. Matt Costa.

Have you heard of him?

Well, if you haven't consider this a formal introduction.

I was watching "The Answer Man" and noticed Costa's song "Mr. Pitiful" and now I am obsessed. His music makes me happy!

I am noticing that more and more I appreciate artist who can write and perform their own music.

Enjoy!

Holiday Rant

All day I am subjected to Christmas songs. Which is fine, it is that time of year after all. My only complaint is the song selections. I really dislike some "Christmas classics". For example:

"Little Drummer Boy" Gosh, I find this song so repetitive and boring. It makes me want to bang my head against a wall.

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" Why is mommy kissing a fatty? Does she have a fatty fetish?

It doesn't matter who sings these songs, I just can't stand them. Then, of course, there are those "artist" who thought doing a Christmas Album was a good idea. Believe me. It wasn't. Let the Christmas songs be sung by the pros, such as Bing Crosby.

Then of course there are songs, like this one, that I consider classic that we never hear:


*I am so embarrassed, I just realized (24 hours later) that I wrote "I Say Mommy kissing Santa Clause" instead of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause". Well, I guess better late than never!
