city interlude

i figure some of you want a little city chaser between these sticks posts, or you don’t, who cares (joy behar voice) and maybe it’s just me. after this one it’s back to the skid farmily with yous.

found my peace shirt it was crumpled up into a black ball on clothes mountain along with other black shirts thank god i’m not goth. yesterday i learned that i could fit my bangs into my bun elastic so i was very hair aware for the rest of the day like does that stranger know i’m a first timer or do they think i am on my way to ballet class?

soup i made us for a late lunch yesterday using two different boiled down rotisserie chicken broths, some white wine, cajun chicken and all them vegetables with a handful of pasta to satiate fil. it had occurred to me that i didn’t consume one vegetable while up north, save for a slab of tomato here and there on top of a hamburger. no wait there were peppers in the minnesota hotdish (i keep wanting to say minnesota mash can you just call it that?) so scratch that. this soup was a boner of a success.

cid’s rabbit feet were hugging one another. that box is permanently warped out the sides cos he insists on stretching out lengthwise in the narrow part. yeah what’s that they said about cats being smarter than dogs?

final product. the entire pot was inhaled. i had some cold as a dinner appetizer, just as tasty. yesterday was too hot for soup.

the claw, can’t help it.

dinky got me a coug necklace while i was away aw. he said this guy obsessively collected jewels and jems and when he died an entire warehouse was discovered thus creating a cougar necklace company. i want to work for them!

yeah that’s a nice ad for the teenagers.

holy crap i look like judas fucking priest.

LCBO booze strike paranoia has spread to the city! tonite is your last nite to get your liquor cos at midnight if the strike happens you’re SOL til it’s sorted out. fil says the beer store and wine rack would be open though. so we have garbage strike, ferry strike and now possible booze strike. good one toronto why not a food strike too?

major line-ups, bet it’ll be worse today (thanks in-part to this post sorry!) i am curious as to how the bar/restaurant industry is feeling right now.

so say it doesn’t happen, all these people are gonna have bottles and bottles and bottles for weeks and the lcbo will get no business.

this was at the lcbo on queen’s quay. very surreal. like the nite before y2k or before xmas break. pandemonium. shit i feel like i need to get more wine.

fil is v dubious (shocking) regarding this bacon vodka business so i decided to make him some to shut him up real good. even copied the skids’ thick bacon choice.

optimum fat quotient.

oh jesus was it ever good. i intended to huck it into our dinner salad but many soldiers didn’t make it that far.

bacon grease fried some zucchini, orange pepper and mushrooms for the salad.

don’t puke now! i have yet to show you the tbay experiment vid/photos. in this mason jar i was able to fit an entire bottle of absolut (the tiniest one 375ml) on top of about an inch of bacon fat from the pan and some pieces of bacon fat. this is before i filled it to the top with the rest of the vodka. it’s fun to see it cloud up immediately and the fat globules go all alien right off the bat. fun if you like barf.

warm salad. all i did to dress it was globbed some nice olive oil and cracked some pepper, the mushroom flavour overtook, not bad. we shared this big bowl for dinner then fil said he “felt snacky” i said oh i bought celery and we have some light cheese whiz left over… he goes well i like it spread out for me. hey fil are you taking advantage of me now that i’m home. what do you mean he asks. well i slaved over that soup for 1.5 hours then i made that salad and infused the vodka and now you want me to cut up some celery and spread the cheese whiz for you? hahaha. he said just tell me to fuck off then. i did it anyway cos i like it spread too. we watched the pink panther 2.

cid thinks he’s people.

so this is what it looks like now, the fat is completely frozen and floating around in there. i wonder if i thawed it would it infuse more flavour? we bought coffee filters and we don’t even have a coffeemaker.

cid loves his window.

ok bye.
