"do another track it will sound crazy" Yes, yes it will...

F/S

"Eleven dead and a bucket with a head"

Not sure if it was the psychotropic augmentation, lack of sleep or maybe the second hand air-horn huff but the F/S set at the bowling alley Saturday was the most entertaining thing i've seen in awhile, certainly cementing into my head, a special place for this band. Their current rendition of retard hoedown was spectacular. At one point, I went to say something to Jenny and she was replaced with an old woman, complete with teased hair and bi-focals, laughing hysterically at Larry's dances. Then Terry played a solo.

I came home and listened to the record again, Jungle Music alone is worth the price of admission. I would post some kind of link but I am too lazy, you'll just have to go find this one yourself. Warning, listening to the F/S is likely to cause your IQ to drop. Ignorance may just be bliss.

Homemade Tomato Sauce #2 (Still way better than the jar)

Pint of cherry or grape tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1/3 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 tblsp olive oil
red wine

Heat the oil, toss in the garlic, saute gently on medium or lower, add the tomatoes and olives. Cook for 7 mins or so, smash half the tomatoes with a potato masher (BEWARE THEY WILL SQUIRT YOU IN THE FACE). Add the wine and cook for a few more mins.

I covered chicken with this but you can have it on pasta, bread, whateves... tasty! Time to chill and watch the daily show...good night. :)

X RAY SPEX - Who Is Poly Styrene? [BBC Documentary]

right now

I am knitting my nephews blanket, drinking wine and listening to the ropes...also I discovered the easiest tomato sauce in the world that is WAY better than the jar.

One can of whole tomatoes in their juice
red wine
onion chopped (one small or half medium)
salt
marjoram

heat it all together and break up a few of the tomatoes but not all

make sure to put a little oil or butter in your pasta before you add this...

a little grated Parmesan is nice too

wa-la....dinner

...and now for something completely different

Oh Asa, you can do no wrong...

Avidya- basic ignorance of who we are and of the underlying reality that connects everything in the universe... inability to experience connection to others, to the source of being, and the true self.

I DID IT! I was able to do the Tree Pose again! I stood on either leg, without slipping or putting any toes on the floor. My only explanation is that I was staring at a tree out the window. The tree must've wanted me to do it. Thank you tree.

Apple Squash Soup

I was too lazy to connect my camera and down load all the nice pics I got over the holidays and the fancy pants ones of me making this last night. Instead you get a shot of me enjoying this post work out approximately 10 minutes ago. 620 calories burned bitches, even with my twisted ankle.

Listened to the Range Rats LP while cooking, now the Cum Stains, specifically Broke my Dick (thanks Robert!)

It got cold and snowy here again after the unusual new years thaw so I was ready for some serious soup.

2 tblsp unsalted Butter/Vegan Margarine
1 medium Onion, finely sliced (i used a sweet yellow one)
1 medium acorn squash, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups Apple Juice
1 1/2 cups Veggie Stock
1 Granny Smith Apple cored but not peeled and diced
1 dollop of Sour Cream or vegan substitute per bowl

- Melt butter in a large sauce pan, add onion and squash
- Saute all gently until onion is golden (5 minutes or so)
- Add apple juice and stock, simmer and add apple
- Continue to simmer until all veggies are tender (i.e. you can squish the squash with a fork against the side of the pot)
- Blend all until smooth, I used my hand held blender and left a little of the squash intact
- Top each bowl with a little sour cream

Corinne, my yogi and I had lunch at whole foods the other day where it was decided that we give them way too much of our money. That being said, their sprouted old world wheat bread with raisins is the PERFECT bread to eat with this, hearty and delicious but not too sweet. This soup is fairly sweet but the mix of the onions and savory broth with the sweet juice and squash is quite good!

Also my parents bestowed upon me a local white wine from the finger lakes region of NY called Cayuga White, which I have been enjoying with this. I use the term bestowed lightly, the vintage was 2009...

In closing, I couldn't be happier that 2010 has been flushed down toilet, Happy New Year!
