Gotta have gravy on chicken-fried steak, right

Gravy's ready!

More paint chips and vomit dude...
Hey... look at Bornyo.

Gunker, I said gravy. Not epoxy.

Tabbouleh. Getting back into healthy eating.

Made a BADASS salad with sliced extra thin chicken breasts marinated in soy sauce, oyster juice, and then stir fried with jalapeños, ketchup, and cayenne pepper dropped onto of a bed of iceberg lettuce, carrots, red tomatoes, cucumbers, and Asian tangerines. And oh yes, it was fucking EXCELLENT...

we went to pizza hut and i think something is dying inside me.

I think that's their slogan.

"The Sopranos: Pilot (#1.1)" (1999)
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: So what, no fucking ziti now?

i stopped at the waffle house for breakfast at 7pm.
love that shit!

Tuna on a bed of mixed baby greens with a side of garlic aoli mustard sauce. Also eating 1 Ak Mak cracker with Trader Joe's crunchy peanut butter.

"At Ak-Mak Bakeries, four generations of the Soojians have been making Ak-Mak products since 1893. Their stone-ground, whole-wheat, Armenian, flat-bread crackers are staple products on the shelves of many natural foods retailers. Popular at first with dieters and diabetics, the crackers have found great favor with the general public. The crackers are made with no preservatives or bleaches."

I'll have to keep an eye open for these...

I didn't cook anything tonight, but this past week I've cooked fresh flounder, dolphin, wahoo, shrimp and blue crabs. Damn, blue crabs are good but they are mean as hell and a lot of work for very little pay-off. I also boiled about 10 lbs of peanuts in two different batches. Remember kids, if you try that at home get the raw and green peanuts, not the dried raw peanuts.

Got's the Dungenness crabs out here:

In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, melt the butter. Add the carrot, celery, and onion and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are
tender. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two. Add the whiskey and cook, stirring up any browned bits from the bottom of the
pan. Add the oregano, thyme, rosemary, seasoning, white pepper and salt to taste. Stir in the tomato paste and lemon juice. Blend in

Tried my hand at cedar plank salmon and shrimp last night. Turned out pretty decent. My camera died just after I put it on the grill, but here's how it started out:

If I'm not mistaken Handful is strictly a consumer of the pornography. And apparently a good cook.

My involvement in pornography is limited only to my own personal collection.

Like a lot of other fuckers out here I'm just a guy who has been watching porn since I was 13 and have a lot of opinions on the subject.

I haven't watched porn or posted here for about 4 months cause I've been busy with other aspects of life's visicitudes, but my drunken inner douchebag told me to come out and fuck around for a bit.

Windsock, hurry up and write that book, fer fucksake. I can't fund the whole thing, but put me down for a couple of pages, my good man.

cheese sandwhich and coffee. I am heterosexual.
