apologies
soooo i think i vaguely remember promising that i was working on some kind of awesome recipe, but i have not ended up having time to get myself in the kitchen. accidentally stayed up all last night with friend, finally got into bed around 9am…only to receive a text from forrest saying they had 4 inches of standing water in their basement from the monsoons we have had for the past 2 days. so i promptly threw on ye olde chuck taylors and did some business on that basement. we ended up working for close to three hours with a bunch of other people to get everything out and i finally got home about noon and just collapsed in bed.
but i will be back in the kitchen and experimenting soon, promise promise.

personal suggestions

shred the lunch meat, toss it with a little oil (if you have any) with the olives in the pasta salad. mix in sliced cheese. eat cold. voila pasta salad.

Monetarily Fucked.
So yeah viewers, followers, and the like… I’m broke. My house is out of foods (almost anyways. I have waffles, and sandwich meat; something tells me they don’t belong together.) and I’m running low on ideas. Quick catalog of what I currently have that is edible: Waffles, PB&J, Italian sub sandwich meat, some American cheese, 7 green olives, some pasta(fallback food). Things I don’t have: Milk, bread, mayonnaise, eggs, ground beef, chicken of any sort, you get the idea. Needless to say, my next few entries will be…unique. After this week, I get paid again, so to make my life easier, and a bit more interesting, I’d love for some suggestions on stuff to buy at the grocery. Send me your suggestions, and I’ll compile a grocery list based off of your input!

Stove Top = MEAL
I’m literally running out of stuff to consume.
I went out on a limb and attempted to cook stovetop with out burninating it(Note: Last time, burned the hell out of it). One box is normally enough to feed a family of 4. For me, it is a solid meal. Follow directions on box, caveman eat.

Sorry my meal wasn’t more original tonight, it was food or die, and I chose food.
pigs in a blanket! (also a celebration because i found my camera cord)
nothing fancy or innovative here.just crescent rolls, a hotdog, and some cheese.
ignore the white stuff, the cooking spray i use turns into a foam when it hits the sheet.
i did 4 with hot dog and 4 with just cheese.
finished product! OM NOM NOM.

Peanut butter and jelly waffle sandwiches
Great idea, If you are low on cash, and are like me. I always have waffles, jelly and pb in my house. If you want to make one, its simple, make a pb&j but instead of bread, use waffles.

mini apple pies.
another dessert i concocted, this one back in high school.
you will need some apples (2 should do, maybe only 1 if its huge), a package of bake-your-own crescent rolls, a little bit of butter, and a little bit of cinnamon and sugar.
peel the apples and chop them as fine as you can get them. stick the pieces in a bowl and microwave them til they are soft, like maybe 4 to 5 minutes. once those are done mix in a tablespoon of butter and cinnamon and sugar to taste. don’t go too heavy on the sugar tho, those apples are probably already pretty sweet, unless you are like me and dig on tart apples. mash it all up with a fork. next, lay out the crescent rolls on a cookie sheet (look at the crescent roll package to see if it needs to be greased or not)and stick two of them together to make a square, and pinch the middle seam together really well. on one side put a couple spoonfuls of the apple mixture and fold the crescent rolls over, and then press the seams together with a fork to seal it. repeat until all the crescent rolls are used up.
bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes, once they are done, brush some melted butter over the top and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it. eat!!!!
these things are fucking awesome.

continuing in the fried tradition
i know a lot of people in the dirty dirty don’t think of kentucky as a real southern state, but we who live here do, and something that comes with that is good delicious freakishly unhealthy fried food. we fry everything. twinkies. dr pepper. snickers bars. bacon. i find it disgusting, but i do have a soft spot for fried vegetables. it’s cheap and easy and awesome. this recipe works for either zucchini, slices of green tomatoes, or chunks of squash. (fried squash, what the hell. i know. but it’s good.)
heat some oil in a skillet. if you are lucky enough to have a cast iron skillet more power to you, a lot of times you can find them at garage sales for a dollar or two, and they are awesome because the more you use them the better the food tastes because the cast iron absorbs the oil and the flavors, kind of the way a wok does. if you don’t have one tho, you can use a regular skillet. it just won’t taste quite as good. still delicious tho. (you can also do this in a deep fryer if you are one of those gross people who owns one. you probably fry twinkies. gross.
ok, while the oil is heating get a bowl and crack an egg in it and add a little bit of milk, then mix it all up into a nice blend. in a ziploc bag put in like maybe a cup of all purpose flour and a shit ton of pepper. don’t worry if these measurements aren’t exact, you may need to make more of the flour mix and the egg stuff if you are making a lot of this.
now that you have your mixes made you can turn your beady little eyes to the vegetables. if you are using zucchini slice it very thin, about a quarter inch thick, and throw the ends of the zucchini away. if you are using green tomatoes between a quarter and a half inch is good. squash, i have no idea what the hell to do with, i have just eaten it, i haven’t tried cooking it yet.
dip about 10 pieces of your chosen vegetable in the egg mix and then throw them in the flour. zip it and shake it til the veggies are well coated. *warning: this part is hella messy. and your hands will get way gross.*
once the pieces are all coated, fry them in the oil. flip them once to get both sides well covered. once they are good and fried, pull them out and let the excess oil drain off onto paper towels. and trust me, this shit is fucking HOT so be careful ok?
eat with ranch dressing, plain, with hot sauce, or whatever else. drink with sweet tea and imagine sitting on the screened in porch of some stately manor watching the sultry breeze ruffle the spanish moss in the willow trees. be sure to answer every question posed to you with “frankly my dear, i don’t give a damn.” it’s good times.
