Meh...

I know I haven't been keeping up my regular posting schedule. And I apologize. Sometimes I just can't think of anything to write about. Myself? Nah, that's no kind of fun. Holidays...blah, blah, blah. Only people from Utah know about our local holidays. Recipes...maybe. I need to get some new ones. I've found like 20-30 I like & now I only make them & don't really introduce new ones. So, that'll be my goal to find NEW recipes. I'm always kind of hesitant to try one cuz what if it really sucks & my fam. is like "What's this crap?" or the kids push it away & are like "Um, I don't like this". Then it makes me feel like I just wasted an hour & now i'm going to waste all those ingredients that came together so badly. I like when I try a new one & they're like "MMMMmm...I like this one". But I can't count on that. Also, why do they have to be so picky. I don't like beef. I don't like eggs. I don't like veggies. I don't like ham. Too bad, then go hungry. :D

Is it really necessary?

Who buys the crap on tv? I don't understand those people. That's right, I called them "those people". Have you seen the commercial for the thing that you can hard boil eggs in? If you have that many problems peeling a hard-boiled egg, the egg i'm sure is the least of your problems. Or how about the one where the lady is like burning herself & struggling with a pot of hot water & has pasta that's all stuck together. Seriously you can't boil pasta? "What's wrong with you? Why are you like that?" (did anyone get where that line was from?) The other one that really bothers me is for the Pajama Jeans. I have a huge problem with wearing pj's outside of the house. I will occasionally do it if i'm maybe going to the garden store early in the morning or just out to get coffee, but only drive-thru. I don't know why it bothers me so much. And, I can only do it if it's like a whole matching track suit. No mis-match here. Also, my hair & make-up have to be done in full. Maybe it's just me, but I like to look my best each day. You know what they say "you only get one first impression". Also, when I do wear my pj's out, it's like hot man day & I feel like a total slob. Anyone else feel this way? Sorry, if you have bought something on tv, i'm sure it was a waste of money. LOL! :)

Fashion Disaster

Why do they always do that in magazines??? And if someone does know you like they're not going to recognize you because you have a black bar on your face. I just looks like you're wearing Jordi LaForge glasses. Right?

So, ya know how I talked about a few styles I cannot wear? Well i've figured out some more of them. I like to shop at Ross. Yes I do. I like it cuz I like a good deal. And, sometimess I do buy something just to wear it once. Some of the fabrics are super synthetic & when you wash them they go all crazy like. But it was only $7 so who cares. Whoever made up Rayon needs to die.

First of all, I cannot pull of the tube top. Not cuz RBF says to ban it, but cuz I apparently don't have the body for it. Or as Joan Rivers says, you need some bazooms. Which, I don't. I think a tube top is cute with a cute little cardigan or shrug, but even at that, my body doesn't cooperate. The other thing I can't wear for summer is a short. Anu length, short, medium, bermuda...none. All they do is make my legs look squat. I don't think I have bad legs, just maybe shorter than I would like. I can pull off a capri-length legging but shorts, out of the question. So I have to settle with the capri or crop. Which I guess is ok.

Also, i'm a fan of heels, but in the summer my fav. pair of Steve Madden heels seem too wintry or fall like. I would love to wear a cute strappy heel but my foot is so wide that they look like they are squishing out of the straps & i'm going to fall off of them. And, I can't wear a stiletto cuz I can't balance so it needs to be a thicker heel or a wedge or even a kitten heel.

Does everyone else have this many wardrobe problems???

"I made them Extra Sloppy!"

Yesterday for lunch I made Sloppy Joe's. Who thought of that name?? I'll admit it, I like a sloppy joe from time to time. But not Manwich kind, my tummy doesn't like those. It gives me major SJR. Right? Here's the recipe I use & it's super easy. I generally make them with Quorn Grounds but yesterday I was out so I used the Quorn Meatballs & chopped them up, which I think I now prefer. And, yes of course I made it the way the recipe told me for everyone else & no I didn't measure, I just used my hand. But feel free to do whatever. :)

Unbeatable Sloppy Joe's

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 large tomato, chopped
6 hamburger buns

BROWN meat in large skillet; drain. Add onions; cook 5 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally.

ADD ketchup, chili powder and tomatoes; cook 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

FILL buns with meat mixture,

And, I thought i'd post this video cuz I think of it every time I make them. :)

REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE IPOD ON THE RIGHT TO HEAR THE CLIP!

"What do you do???"

Hahaha! I think of Howie Mandel's Watusi tour every time I watch him on America's Got Talent! We use to watch this all the time back in the day. Too funny!

DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF THE IPOD ON THE RIGHT TO HEAR THE CLIPS!!!



The Watusi

"Eeeww Gross....smell this!"

I hate when people do that! They're all like "Oh that's gross, here you taste it". Like it's not going to be gross to them? You just made it sound so appealing. Anyway, I take both of these vitamins everyday, or ok, when I remember them. And i'm not going to lie, they don't taste good but I can tell a difference of when I do take them. I just feel better. The multivitamin says it's supposed to be "mixed fruit" flavor but it tastes like how vitamins in a bottle smell. And the calcium says "blueberry pom" or something like that but it tastes like chalk. So, I'm not saying they're yummy cuz they aren't but they are super good for you & being liquid your body absorbs them better & will be able to process them. Just sayin'. :)

PS: You can get them at Costco.
