Spiked EggNog

What makes the holiday better than a nice cold glass of spiked eggnog!?


Last Christmas I had been a huge fan of soy eggnog (STILL AM). But this year I am broke and can't even afford my choice of eggnog impersonators. So I have to settle with the o.g. and it's still bomb. So you want the receipe? I know you do, I don't even know why I asked.

EASY AS PIE:
-2 parts egg nog
-1 part brandy or rum(spiced rum would be the better over a plain rum, but either is fine)
-a little dash of hazelnut on top

*I used brandy in my spiked eggnog, and of course made a stiff one ^.^

Oh and

I've been on a banana bread baking spree...I'll let you peep the recipe soon. But now I'm going to bed latttttttttttttttttttttttttttttte

Eat your food bitch.

Hello

I've been too busy lately so I'm going to take a break from bloggin for the holidays. I'llpost the meals tho that I have eaten on Thanksgiving, and the soon to arrive Christmas! Soooooo what was on the menu this past Thursday...

-The past 4 years my family has been deep frying Turkey. As you should know I am a Veg, but I'll eat whatever the fuck I want, when I want. So I decided to eat a slice of white meat this Thanksgiving. Deep fried turkey is seriously a awesome way to cook that shit. Juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I did feel a horrible afterwards but fuck it it was good.
-My Aunts mother made some bomb cheesey potatoes. Mad delicious ^.^

-My mom makes awesome sweet stuffing, I caught a little glipse of her preparing it the day before they left for Carpenteria. She sauteed onions with sum butta and poured the over cut up pieces of a good thick bread. I know she baked it but I'm unsure if she added vegetable stock before or after. Regardless, it was added. I missed the other ingredients but it tasted as tho she added an all spice made up of cinnamon and maybe some hazelnut n sum other shit.
-My favorite part of Thanksgiving meals is the sweet yams. Fucking delicious. And my mom made those as well, and they were perfect. Huge pieces of yams, covered in a sweet glaze of cinnamon and marshmellows. ^.^
-Also brought to the table was corn and rolls.

Marijuana Could Be Good for Memory

....but not if you get high?


A friend recently brought this to my attention....read THIS BLOG to find out why.

This would make me want to eat meat...

Yeah Hasisi Park ^.^

Which came first...the DINOSAUR or the EGG?

Recent studies have established that eggs almost certainly came before the chicken. I was reading some news articles (I know I know) and this scientist is led to believe that this statement is true and the popular phrase "Which came first...the chicken or egg?," should now be rephrased to "Which came first...the dinosaur or the egg?" ^.^ Enjoi

Seriously, it's not a war hunniez. Keep your beef, chicken, processed and re processed flesh. Your sausages, and your ham ( I will eat your fish cause that shit is tasty). But don't knock the food we like to eat. If it does imitate partial tastes of what we used to eat, the thing is we have our own reasons for not partaking in carnivorous acts...and I do agree it has become a fad just like how anyone nowadays thinks they can turn tables. Just stop iiiiight?

Munchin for boobz

Ok so this really has nothing to do with food, unless you like eating boobz, but I have an interesting thought....

Why is it that us girls like our boobz caressed? Apparently, some men are stumped as to why we like are nipplez twisted. To tell you the truth I do not like my fucking tit grabbed and squeezed the hell out of. It's just nice to softly massage and also the nipple is nice to have twisted (softly) or licked, etc. I'm really curious to what you think about this, and I know others are to. So hey,
cum on....WHY DO GIRLS LIKE TO HAVE THEIR BOOBZ PLAYED WITH?!

I'm so sorry

no I'm not

I apologize :/

Man, I have been so god damn busy lately. Work, School, and figuring out everything I'm going to do to maintain my sobriety for a year. Anyways, I haven't been cooking too much this month, and its taking its toll. I feel irritable, and not as creative. I will get out of this funk, don't you fret. But hey, this is a good chance for me to hear somethings you guys cook! So send me receipes ladies and gents, I'd love to hear em. Meat eaters and veggies a like, I don't care. :D

In other news, I haven't been drinking my coffee lately and I think I'm going to have to start substituting THC for caffeine. Say hello to a roller coaster of Rachel emotions. Right this minute I am drinking a delicious cup of Lucaffe Messico Espresso. Yum Yum. This is one of my favorites because of its peanut-y type taste. So smooth and delicious...I can't get enough. This is a 100% Arabica espresso so it doesn't hold as much caffeine as other espressos I have talked about (Izzo Vivi, and my favorite Covim Orocrema :D) which contain 80% Robusta and only 20% Arabica. Let the coffee high begin...

Mutant Fruits and Veggiez!?!?!?!??!?!

WOAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

Got Milk?

Hot Cereal

I'm sure most of you know I hate cereal. I don't know why, I just do. But I love breakfast! It just might be my favorite meal of the day. So0o0o0000o I find myself making bomb breakfast meals while you are eating your shitty ass cold cereal.

On with what I made this morning (mind you no one is at my house at this time so I'm walking around naked after just getting out of the shower). I made warm rice with soy milk, brown sugar, an raisins. MMMM yummy yummy. When I make rice, I tend to make huge batches so I can save and heat up when I'm oober busy. But I made it fresh this morning since I had time. After I cooked my brown rice, I set it aside for a couple minutes to cool off a little, I did not want it to be piping hot. I put about a cup of soy milk into a cup and microwaved it for about 20 seconds so it was a little warm. Next, I sprinkled some brown sugar over a good bowl size of rice so it would get a little sticky and melty and YUMMY. Obviously it was time for soy milk and raisins. Yeah man that shit was good this morning, I feel way energized and feel a little frisky...uh oh!

OK time to go to work, but seriously, try this out instead of your boring fucking cold cereal.

Yes Peach Cobbla

It's 9/11....remember the lies.

On a lighter note,
I made that peach cobbler I was talking about it was fantastic.

Peachy Cobbla

6 or 7 medium size peaches; sliced (i used a lot considering i had TONZ)
1 1/2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar plus a little to sprinkle over peaches as well as the crust with 5 min left of baking
cinnamon to taste
1 egg (beaten slightly)
2 teaspoons of baking soda
2/3 cups of butter (stick not melted)

Preheat your over to 375 degrees.

Slice your peaches and put them in a oven safe baking dish and sprinkle a little brown sugar over them.

In a bowl mix dry ingredients. add egg and sticks of butter (softened) and mix with hands. The consistency should be crumbly and sprinkle everything over peaches, trying to cover eat piece of fruit. Bake for about 40-45 min or until the crust is golden brown.
YUMMMMMMYMYMYMYMYMYM it was delicious. Try it out, I'm not too big of a fan of baking but I can make some good treats, this being one of them.

Peach Wine

I will be happy to announce that the lovely Cakelin will be helping me with a treat ill be making in these up coming months: Peach wine! Now, you all should know how much of win0s the two of us are, so naturally we'd be the first to make our own! (Not to mention its tuff when you have no money and you want to buy a nice bottle of Merlot..GOOOSH).

Now, this is for all of you out there, if any of you would like to make a donation (meaning a helping hand, equipment that I might need, or even some advice) please pleassssse feel free. If you need to contact me :D

For the educational aspect of this...The type of peaches im using are FREESTONE peaches which from Bill's M&M Peach and Cherry Farm. In my last post I informed you that his peaches are Southern California Certified Organic Peaches, so hey...guess what ORGANIC WINE. I know you like the sound of that!








I just found this video of the owner, and I thought it was funny. BAH Oh man, what a funny guy.

I really like yo peaches wanna shake yo tree

OK, sooo0o I worked on a plot of land today picking ORGANIC peaches! Ya. Tanya was looking for friends to help pick this delicious peaches so I opted to go ahead. Not to mention the hefty 2 buck salary for each box we make. We only ended up splitting 52 dollars 4 ways, but it was chill. I took home 3 fucking huge bags of peaches, like over 60 easily. SOOOOOOOO I'll be busy this week/month making treats. First on the agenda...I'm making booze. Yes BOOZE. Secondly, I'm making peach cobbler. Thirdly, anyone want peaches?

Now let me tell you about Bill...Bill owns M&M Peach Ranch (if the link doesn't show up yet don't trip, I think he is just starting the website so it's prolly not up and running yet). Anyways Bill Basner has been certified producing OTCO organic fruit! YAY BILL. It takes a lot for these Mom and Pops joints to do the whole organic speal. It costs more starting off, but once you get finally certified it pays off! He had to go through some time to get the seal of approval. I was talking to him and he said 5 different people had to review forms/talk to him about his tactics on his ranch. Examples, seeding, watering, and protecting his products. Good for him. One step closer to ganicsNatIoN.

Bill is friends with Tanya's uncle "Gummy". Both seem to enjoy alcohol as much as me. Tanya's uncle Gummy happened to soak slices of peaches in Swedish Vodka for about a month, and made sort of a Peach Schnapps kinda drink. Add a little seven-up and it was a party! Really magnificent. And once you finished slurpping down the booze, you got to eat the vodka infused peach slice (which made my eyes burn for a hot second). Shit was good!. But hey, I've got peaches so.....yeah I am your peach.


OTHER NEWS: Sorry I haven't been providing reads for you, whoever it is that reads my ramblings, but I have been extremlly busy the past 2 weeks. And, uh oh....COURT ON FRIDAY. The sentencing begins.

Vanilla Ice Cream with Warm Espresso

mmmmm so my boss today was cravin' some vanilla ice cream with warm espresso poured over it. Turns out, it was an adventure just getting the fucking ice cream.

Recap of today:

Kevin gets back from running errands and is bummed that he forgot ice cream. So I told him I wouldn't mind riding to the Shell on the Old Road next to Rye. Obviously no ice cream, I tried the Chevron too but, no ice cream. I get back and try the Sandwich Shop already knowing I would fail. So he asks my co-worker to go to 7-11.

He comes back after Kevin gets finished making cup after cup of PodMerchant House Blend Espresso.

To make a long story short that shit was so bomb. The espresso melted ice cream a little and it was delicious! You've go to try it.

Stay Fit, Stay Healthy

Thats the first two steps. You should already know to eat healthy. So now you know. The secret to healthy living.

Summer love is Pasta love

OH my gosh! I'm so sorry its been a couple of days. I went on a mini vacation with my family to rincon and camped for a few days so I had no access to this shit to tell you all the wonderful shit I was doing.

I logged on and had a message from a friend and it was a recipe! Ya I love technology. Anyways this one is from Taylor and Tom and they thought that others might enjoi this as mush as them. Its looks pretty damn yummy I'm going to try it this week ^.^

Ohhhh tay (italicized notes are my own.)

-Cooked pasta cold
-corn cooked in cayenne pepper what I think you should do is, if you have access to a grill, wrap WHITE [white is a lot sweeter] in tin foil with earth balance and cayenne pepper. you could also just as easily put corn in the bottom broiler I think. once the corn is done cooking let it cool down then cut off all the tasty cornlets to toss into pasta salad
- chucks of avocado and apples cut avacado and apples about the same in size
-chopped almonds maybe toast this a little bit before you chop them to get those oils brought out so they give off that awesome toasted nut smell ^.^
-balsamic vinaigrette and a tiny bit of Italian dressing to tell you the truth i think you can do without both the dressings, either or would be fine in this cold pasta salad i think


I'm Italian and basically will eat anything involving pasta. Shits way bomb. And nothing beats cold pasta salad during the summer time. Keep that shit light too, heavy pastas during the day and in the sun is NO BUENO. Also, please if you have a recipe you love and know that others will to, SEND IT so I can post it up for the world to see. No use in hiding good food right! Ok, school starts this week and that means I start a class for my food handling certificate. Woop.

Fuck ice cream, I like frozen yogurt

Last night I decided to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. I totally munched on a free regular size frozen treat all thanks to a sweet girl named Brittany. Let me indulge you:

MANGO TART FROZEN YOGURT/ HAWAIIAN COCONUT FROZEN YOGURT
RASPBERRIES
AND CRUNCHY GRANOLA

Fuck that shit was so good. I couldn't even finish it, it was so fat. I love frozen yogurt.

Soy Joy

If any of you are familiar with this commercial...I tried this bar for breakfast this morning. Man they are pretty darn good! I had the Mango Coconut one and it was fabulously moist! Such an awesome breakfast treat.

Weekend Warriors

Over the weekend I just casually munched and crunched. I ended up eating a lot of nutz (the edible ones) and someone stumbled across these and graciously let me munch, hard. These things are fucking delicious! Holy Cow. Such an unexpected burst of citrus. I'm telling you that's the way to go.

Also happened to eat a lot of pistachios, because I really enjoi those bad boys just as much.

Another thing...I went on a wonderful bike ride with some charming individuals. Most knew how to cook good food, and have fun doing just about anything. A handful of people rode from Pavilions to Castaic lake to BBQ, swim in the lake, and chill hard. It was fucking nice. Besides chillin jumping off docks into perfect temperature water whilst super st0ned...we had some bomb food. The vegans in our group group some awesome mix of veggies; bellpepers, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, squash, and perhaps something else I've forgotten..all marinating in a mix of lemon juice, olive oil and spices. That was bomb. Also a package of Boca Burgers, veggie burgers, and felafel (if you've never tried falafel before, its a mix of chickpeas and various spices and veeeeery enjoyable). The meat eaters happened to bring a slab of hamburger meat and buns, etc. Me...I just happened to bring two flanks of salmon and some peaches. I made a grilled salmon lunch. I drizzled olive oil and I brought ground cayenne pepper to spice it up. Not only was the red pepper good on my salmon but people enjoyed it on the veggies as well. Seriously, awesome BBQ sesh. Not to mention the Tecates.

One more food related thing over the weekend: if you've never noticed...Pavilions has a Natural Food aisle that apparently not a lot of you know about. If you haven't checked it out, I suggest you do. It's not a huge selection but it does have a lot of on-the-go vegan friendly treats for allllll enjoiments. They have this awesome vanilla cashew bar that I absolutely love. Also their Panda's are freaking awesome. They very much enjoied while sitting in the park. The raspberry ones are my favorite, but I am also a fan of the black licorice one too. SO fucking tasty. Also, I've been living off Naked juices all weekend.













In non-food related news: Tropic Thunder. I almost don't even need to say anything after that. FUCK that shit was so0o0o gnarly. RDJ, Ben Stiller, and Jack Black are really the "3 musketeers" in this movie. Jack Black's character makes me want to shove a fist up my asshole.

What?

OOOOPS I ate Wendy's.

Ahhhhrg, ok...I didn't eat anything all day and then...in the wee hours of the night at Ronny's I GOT THE MADDDD MUNCHIES. Fuck. So now you know, but hey who can doubt a single sour cream and chive baked potato?....I can't.




So much for the barbequing Rams. I was still so down for grilled salmon and veggies. Ballz

Cooking with a Fat Jewish Guy? pt 2

Caitlin mentioned something to me the other day about Barack Obama Cupcakes that FJG made, and I do remember watching him attempt half vanilla half chocolate cupcakes. PSHA anyways, enjoi?

Stereotypical

OK I know women, now, have as many rights as men do. FUCKING YES, we like to be as manly as we can, awesome. Anyways, I love that we can do what we can, live as we would, dress like we could, and have multiple relationships as we should. ANYWAYS, why can't we still dress like this when we cook. I think the redheaded bitch looks good. Wouldn't you want someone this good looking bringing you a delicious apple pie? I'd eat her apple...pie.

Route 66

Fuck, would you like to know what I got myself into this evening? Let me show you...
I know right FUCK. But hey, it was my Dad's 42nd birthday. So it was a love/hate relationship. Anyways I'm writing about my experience at Route 66, where this whole shindig was held at. Route 66 is in the same parking lot as the Canyon Country movie theatres. This restaurant was completely based on road food. Burgers, salads with steak, nachos, you name it. What the fuck was I going to eat. I see no vegetarian friendly items on the meal besides a vegetarian sandwich that came with cream cheese, alfalfa, carrots, and some other not appealing items. I'm browsing the burger section when I notice they substitute their beef patties with veggie burgers. Fucking thank god, I was hungry and thought I was going to have to eat spinach dip and lamp heated tortilla chips all night. I picked the Spicy Arizona Burger. Sounds gnarly right? Shit was so bomb. It came with Jack cheese, roasted and washed green peppers, some awesome salsa y corn type nonsense and they so kindly put it on a wheat bun (probably could have done the same with white considering this wheat looked too processed to hold any nutritional value). It was surprisingly good. All the while my mama is sipping Jack and diets (I have to say I follow after my mother) and an extra shot of whiskey (myyyyyy kind of lady). All I can say is I love that my mom highballs it.

Anyways, not too many choices at fucking Route 66, but really good bar food.

Other Route 66 adventure news:

Espresso Espresso Espresso

VS.

So I'm at work right now, talking across my desk to my boss. And I ask him a very, very serious question..."Are you taking down Covim Gran Crema off the website?"

Its a fucking sad day, let me tell you. My favorite, and possibly one of the most expensive espresso pods we sell isn't being bought by our costumers. :( My boss tells me "Yeeeeeeuh, no one buys cases anymore, so that's an indicator that its not going to do any better then it is right now." I reply, "You know whats my favorite espresso here right!?" My boss' response "No, I didn't know that. Have you tried the Izzo Vivi? It has a similar taste to Covim Gran Crema." But of course, I knew what I liked more, "I enjoy the Vivi when I have something sweet to go along with it (my boss ordered two brands of Stroopwafles which went very well with Vivi) other than that, Covim Gran Crema takes the cake because of the awesome crema is makes when produced."

From the charming Ligurian Riviera and the home of Christopher Columbus, COVIM has arrived in the US. South American, African, Far Eastern and South Asian coffee beans are carefully selected and roasted in Genova, Italy, to produce the highest quality and flavor making COVIM one of the finest roasting houses in the world. Covim Gran Crema is a blend of 20% Arabica (blend of Brasil Santos, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Santo Domingo) with 80% Robusta (blended from Southeast Asian and African countries).



Izzo Caffè was founded near Mt. Vesuvius in 1979 by Mr. Vincenzo Izzo as an artisan-based coffee roastery, and has been striving with passion to produce real Neapolitan espresso for over 25 years. In the course of these years of activity, a strong spirit of enterprise, along with a technically and commercially qualified team, has laid the way for the Company's rapid growth, thus gradually establishing its presence on both the national and international market. Vivi Caffe Espresso — "An Espresso for the Road...". Vivi Caffe makes a strong, hearty cup of espresso — A great morning wake-up coffee. Vivi is a blend of, once again, 80% Robusta (highly caffeinated, very strong tasting) and 20% Arabica (low caffeine content)
