Again. Too much writing at work. Another disjointed entry -- this time without the bullet points!
So let�s talk about food. Happy seems to have taken dinner-cooking as her task for the week. Last night was vegetarian sloppy joes. Tonight is veggie burgers. I�m taking the reigns on Thursday night when we have Helga (my former next-door neighbor) and her sister over for dinner. This meal will be bowtie pasta in a spiced peanut sauce topped with zucchini and tomato slices. Let�s not forget the side salad with my specialty creamy balsamic vinegar-tofu dressing ladled over spinach greens, chopped bell peppers, tomato chunks, and corn. That�s a Jo-cooked meal. One quick recipe because I know two of you will at least read it and think about what it tastes like. I�ll save you the thought and will just tell you: It�s damn good.
1 part Cayenne pepper I sprinkle this on any variety of non-meat and pan fry it or I boil some veggies or rice and sprinkle this on top too. I tell you, it�s the new Lawry�s replacement. It works on everything. And if you add extra cayenne and black pepper, it�ll make your eyes water in a good way. It�s so damn good that I made a whole jar of it for myself. Benito also has his own Jo-made jar, although I haven�t yet asked what he thought of it. I shudder at the thought of him sprinkling it over turkey bacon and then BBQing it. [shudder] Once again: [shudder]
I�m thoroughly disappointed that I didn�t get many responses on what Benito and I could bet. The suggestions I got -- although thoroughly humiliating -- just won�t work. I do not want the mental or digital picture of my sexy Italian dressing like a woman. And he�s not shaving anything. There�s no karaoke in his future, especially since he likely knows more words to Beastie Boys songs than any Back Street Boys songs. I�m putting a dollar down that our bet will be that I�ll clean his place top-to-bottom if he wins (or pay someone to), and he�ll have to get me an hour with a masseuse if I win. B-O-R-I-N-G! Whatever. Send your recommendations for Chicagoland masseuses. I�m gonna kick some working-out ass!
