Buffalo Wing Omelet

haven't written in a bit...did something crazy to my traps at the gym...so i've been in a state of agony...between the hot water bottle refilling and shoulder circle exercises i'm losing it...hopefully will be back in full force...until then enjoy this recent discovery...i was in the kitchen one day not wanting my usual omlelet (or omelette if you prefer)....so i found a bottle of buffalo wing sauce...put some in...5 mins later i was very happy...enjoy

4 eggs (discard two yolks if you feel healthy; discard two whites if you need that chubbalubba)
2 tbs milk
1 tbs buffalo wing sauce
diced onions (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Mix briskly. Heat up a pan. Add some olive oil spray or whatever you use. When its hot, add half the egg mixture. Lower the heat and....you know how to make an omelet right? OK - do it. Fast forward to enjoy and thanking me for tantalizing your taste buds.

Cali N' Tito's

you know i'm always goin on about food and cooking...i seek out restaurant reviews in the flagpole...i might as well post some of my own...i don't eat out as much, but when i do i feel its my duty to fellow eaters to report from the front line...

so yesterday a bunch of us tried out this new place on lumpkin called cali n tito's...its a cuban joint with other latin / mexican flavors...its got this crazy beach scene going on...complete with palm trees (hope they don't die in the winter)...beach umbrellas...a capsized boat, etc....you order inside at the bar and they bring out your food...i'm already tired of writing this review...ADD prob...umm...lets see...i had the verdura taco - pretty good on fresh, small warm tortillas....i had the veggie empanada...really good...especially with the verde sauce...and the tostones - fried plaintains...a bit dry, but still yummy...my friends had chorizo tacos and cuban sandwiches..they all liked it...i heard the chicken quesadilla was a bit bland...

next time i'll try their fruit smoothies - like papaya lime...and also a veggie cuban...that should be good...

i really don't see myself writing any more reviews...i have better stuff to do...like go eat some breakfast...so savor this moment...bon appetit.

Thriller Bollywood Style

I'm sure most of you have seen this - but this is soooo funny. Its in Telugu (a South Indian language) and is a riot even for a brown boy...


Watch it.

Hema warns me of what lies ahead in a married life.

Context

So...we all complain about gas prices...well check out this link and see if you still think you're worse off....

There is shit in the meat.

Probably my fav line from the book...the portion of the book (Fast Food Nation) that focuses on the slaughterhouses and meatpacking industry gave a grisly view of what really goes on in there...the taking advantage of migrant workers...the high rate of injury...the focus on getting as much meat through as possible while discounting safety or hygiene...


"The cattle now packed into feedlots get little exercise and live amid pools of manure."


Due to rising grain prices, slaughterhouses look to feed less expensive "materials" to cattle. About 75% of cattle in US were routinely fed livestock wastes - the rendered remains of dead sheep and dead cattle - until Aug, 1997. They were also fed millions of dead cats and dogs purchased from animal shelters. FDA banned this after the outbreak of mad cow disease. Alas, they are still fed dead pigs and horses today. COWS!!! ARE!!! HERBIVORES!!!!

Today, regulations now also allow cows to be fed dead polutry, but allow poultry to be fed dead cattle. Nice.

Waste products from poultry plants - including sawdust and old newspapers are also fed to cattle.

In 1994, 3 million pounds of chicken manure were fed to cattle.

All of this is tied to the spread of dangerous e. coli and get this - the USDA does not have the power to force a meatpacker to recall meat. Money talks in Congress.

Sick. Sick. Sick.

Cel-Ray

a bit bored...so thought i'd mention some interesting things from the weekend....lets see - my brother was visiting and so i went home this weekend...we had some people over and mom and i became a pizza factory...i was tired by the end - scrap the idea of working in a pizza place before i start working as a lawyer..hah...can't stand the oven heat blast....saturday i was supposed to go see hema play soccer...but it was not meant to be - my car started hiccuping (is that a word) and stalled on me a couple times...i got back home and had a DIY project ready for me...rubber boot from the mass airflow meter was cracked...air filter was dirty...and my neighbor told me it could be the fuel filter too...so i borrowed his car (and his kids) and went off to the BMW dealership...i let them check out the new Z4 M Coupe while I got robbed - $45 for a stupid rubber tube...then i spent the rest of the afternoon fixing the car...seems to be working fine now...but who knows...she's temperamental...

today my room-mate told me that our stupid noisy neighbors woke him up last night at 3:30AM...except this time their patio conversation was about coke and how they got a bad batch of it...with this tid-bit of information, goose promptly told them to take their asses inside...i think they'll refrain from being too loud lest we mention their convo to the cops...weirdos...some of their other convos are down right gross...ask goose

what else - i had some celery soda today for the first time...interesting...i don't think i'll have it again...it was kinda like cold soup in a can...i dunno...i also bought this big plantain at the farmer's market...gotta do something cool with that...

thats about it...eventful weekend...back in athens now...dawgs won again - just barely...falcons won too - nothing to gloat about either...

anyhoo laterz...
