there's gotta be more to life than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me



If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
Don't effin' blame the chef!

Spaghetti Night

I missed my doc's appointment yesterday. She seems always in a hurry; it's starting to annoy me. She needs a little more dedication to her profession. hihihi

I went straight home but not before making a quick stop to the grocery store to buy prepaid load for my cell. I realize now that I have this thing for the grocery. Something about it gives me satisfaction in orgasmic levels. I bought shampoo, bath soap, canned corned beef and laundry powder although my supplies are still fully stocked. When I was at the cashier, it turned out that they ran out of prepaid cards. I paid for my grocery and as I stepped out, I realized I completely lost sight of why I went to the store in the first place. I came in for load, left without it, and spent dough on unnecessities.

I walked in a slow pace, enjoying the star-filled night. I reached the house, opened the door, settled my groceries on the dining table and headed to my room to slip on comfy house clothes.

I settled for a tank top and gym shorts. I went to the living room, tuned in to Will and Grace on ETC and went to the kitchen. I washed my hands, then gathered my ingredients while enjoying the funny antics of my favorite couple.

1 large onion bulb
2 small tomatoes
3 pieces garlic
1 pack 13-gram Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce
1 can Purefoods Corned Beef
1 pack Spaghetti noodles (I have memory gap. I don't remember the brand)
1 pack Quickmelt cheese

I minced the onion, tomatoes and garlic. Cut the Spaghetti Sauce open. Opened the can of corned beef. Opened the pack of spaghetti noodles.

I filled a pot with water up to a little more than half then settled it on the stove. I opened the gas tank and turned on the stove. I took a pan, settled it on low fire and waited till smoke rose from the surface. I took Minola cooking oil and poured about a teaspoon on the pan.

When bubbles formed in the cooking oil, I sauteed the garlic till light brown, then sauteed the onion until translucent. I put in the corned beef, added a little more oil and mixed till the shreds disintegrated. I poured in the spaghetti sauce and added a teaspoon of sugar. I, then, added the tomatoes.

When the water in the pot started to boil, I added a tablespoon of salt. I took a bundle of noodles, snapped them in half and put it in the simmering water. After fifteen minutes, I removed the pot from the fire and drained the noodles. I placed the noodles under running water for about a minute to let it cool off and to avoid them from sticking to each other.

I placed the noodles on a plate, added sauce and grated cheese on top. I took the plate, got the bottle of Sprite from the fridge and settled on the living room center table. I was just in time for The OC.

I'm no chef and what I cooked was no gourmet food but hey, where else can you eat a mouthful of spaghetti, not worry about the falling strands and sauce all over your chin while watching you favorite TV show?

After The OC, I washed the dishes then proceeded to washing my bedsheet which was the unfortunate casualty from my Saturday hangover. I scrubbed the bathroom floor a bit after, watched Charmed and this feature on the Bermuda Triangle on Discovery, squeaked my wonderland clean, then went to bed. I think I covered about a little more than a chapter of Santa Evita before drifting off to lalaland... Boy, was I stuffed.

Palabras Finales

Remember me when you hear this

sleeps with butterflies ~ tori amos



Airplanes take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live?
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night?
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat?
I won't push you unless you have a net


You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy


Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl, this girl

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
