the great, the grater and the graceless

December 30, 2005

so we attemepted to make a pizza

marvel recently graduated from culinary school

and for obvious personal reasons i was eager to hone her skills

her broyfriend is allergic to just about everything, yes even lettuce (which i find ever so peculiar as i believe lettuce is primarily composed of water), and therefore we chose to make to make the most out of cheese

we bought queso de murcia, san simon, oaxaca, corteja and good old mozzarella

a pizza sans sauce and a spelt crust made for an arduous afternoon

but there is nothing the marvellous marvel cannot handle, except maybe a grater

the woman stands at 160cm and 105 pounds and still managed to break the stainless steel cheese grater in not one, or two, but three pieces ladies and gentlemen.

being the trooper that she is, life and the pizza went on.  at 6:40 she removed the dish from her oven and placed it on the stove top to cool. unfortunately she had left a burner on and in placing her hand on the stove she burnt her knuckles and instinctively released the pan into the air.  though i did take a dive for it, i landed about 3.4 m too short.

poor marvel

she was burnt, embarassed by her culinary debut, and worst of all- hungry.

we, being the fortunate- able to eat anything types, ordered pad thai and all was well

aaron ate a pineapple, and some of the remaining cheese

pauvre mr. rencien

pulp

December 30, 2005

adds depth, adds texture,  adds sentiment 

pulp adds reality

do all of us dream of escaping reality? do we all want to be uplifted and tossed around by our fantasies? why do we criticize the fantasitical? 

i dream, dream too often perhaps.  i’d never allow myself to dream only when my eyes were shut

we have control of our dreams, tune in- tune out

please change the channel and the network tonight 

dream a dream for yourself

 as nothing is as it seems, life is but a dream within a dream

goodnight and before you go

 please take an extension of my heart- a smile, a giggle, an omniscient view and of course an extra large but complimentary serving of imagination

i’ve never had a blog…  nor a live journal, a my space account or even the msn space- i’ve never joined a forum or posted a post   thus, i had to do something being on the verge of extinction.  so bare with me, novice and all
