so...today is shrove tuesday.
At our work we hold a breakfest for our 250+ people once a month to celebrate our birthdays of that month...
I spent 2 hours running across town bright and early...buying everything, then cooking for everyone.
I am now done...sitting down to eat my damn breakfest...and do not plan on doing any actual work the rest of the day.


In short...i need someone to amuse me....tell me all about your weekends!

    ou *really* want to know how my weekend went?

    Really?

    Don't say I didn't warn you...

    My cousin goes into labour 3 weeks early and baby Ethan ends up plugged up with pipes. My oldest friend announces he’s leaving for Australia on Wednesday to do his post-grad. My Gran is going for an eye operation today and to top it off, my mum has announced to us all that she’s menopausal.

    I also hit Admiral

    Pancake Day?

    I hope you had some Banana Pancakes in honor of Chief Engineer Torres!

    Thats not a bad weekend lmao. I've had MUCH worse...Check out my youtube channel, and watch my TRIBBLE moment. in the video i exhagerate and make it all sound like it happened in one day...it happened in about 3 days. Still a LOT of BS lmao


    i think you should go down under with your friend! make it an adventure! :) Your mother may be menopausal...but all women are crazy...regardless of what excuse they have. so you shouldn't notice much difference...other then she will now blame menopause.

    This weekend I wound up in walmart . After seeing a kid pee his pants I laughed so hard I pooed my pants. After a much distraught and fevered search for the mens department I finally found what I was looking for. So I grabbed the package of underwear from the messy shelf and quickly ran to the restroom. I cleaned myself up in the sink while an old man of about 80 years watched me while making suggestions and pointing out missed spots. After getting all cleaned up I realized that the package of underwear was actually a package of misses panties. Not wanting to go commando with a pair of pants that have a zipper with a mind of its own (and being exceptionally well hung) I decided what the hell and put the panties on. This was about the time that the police busted in the bathroom to arrest me for shoplifting. Damn Walmart Cameras got me again.

    Today is Mardi Gras. My entire state is partying right now. It's hard not to be happy about that. :P

    EDIT: Except that I see Saint Hazard's avatar looks exactly like my main character, so now I have to go and change the way he looks. Darn you, SaintHazard, and your knack for creating sexy-hawt avatars! Darn you straight to heck!

    I'm sorry, it's a gift. And a curse.

    But mostly a gift.

    I'm lucky enough to have moved away from New Orleans... where I was born and raised... to a small town about a half hour away. So now I can *choose* to participate in Mardi Gras rather than have it impose itself on me by way of people vomiting on my front steps or passing out on the hood of my car. :P

    Plus, out here, Mardi Gras is much more subdued and more of a family thing than it is in the city proper.

    That's what it's about to this 36 year-old married father of four. 15 years ago, though, it was about something entirely different. :P

    Kids like parades too, so it's nice to be able to bring them someplace where there's a bunch of families and no one's getting naked. Not that getting naked in public is a bad thing all the time -- everything in its place. :P

    To quote one of my favorite movies " I did nothing and it was everything I thought it would be"

    Banana pancakes tomorrow, my flex day routine. I did venture to cook lobster for V-day dinner, and I must say it came out pretty damn good.

    Pulled the meat from the shells and sauteed it in home made lemon butter. For a side we had portabella mushrooms sauteed in butter/seasonings. Top of with wine.

    Hit LT-8, Maybe make it to commander tomorrow.

    1) Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.

    2) You cooked lobster outside of the shell? What the hell backwards place are you from where they cook lobster outside of the shell?

    3) Portabella mushrooms are amazing if cooked properly.

    LOL freakin funny :) That place is called Southern California.

    Have you ever been to Benihana's? They cook it table side. They just use the shell to serve it in. I have been eating it like that for a long time. I thought I would give it a try. I like to try things outside of the box. I have done them on the BBQ as well in shell.

    Now let me tell you about lemon chicken in a crock pot that cooked about 4 hours longer that it was supposed to. Yech! talk about chicken fail.

    See, I've always just taken the lobster, live if I can get'em that way, and dumped it in a big ol' pot of boiling water.

    I've been to hibachi grill restaurants, though, and yeah, now that you mention it, it's basically already outside the shell when they prepare it, but that's the ONLY instance in which I've had grilled lobster.

    'Round these parts, you boil the suckers.

    ALIVE.

    Spoken like a true tourist. :P The "essence" of Mardi Gras is to have a good time -- which takes different forms for different people.

    Thank you people of the internet for reminding me that there is such a day as pancake day. Especially when it is in time for me to dine on delicious pancakes.

    I feel I should don a flame-retardant suit before I say this, but...

    I don't like pancakes.

    I like crepes, I like waffles, and I like various other breakfast foods, but I don't like fluffy pancakes.

    The perfect breakfast is southern style biscuits and sausage gravy - with bits of sausage in.
