Midway through this staff meeting I realized I forgot to pay attention. I was sucked into Steve Harrington’s web/art stuff. I dont think anyone noticed until I started taking photos of them so I could make this post later.

this is gross, and funny. We’re drinking.

I am convinced that helping “Malefic” tie his hooded cape is not only blog worthy but may also be the pinnacle of my Hydra Head career.

Went to Juicy to get sized up today and shot a couple sneaky photos. Ill post a bigger update later this week.

Its been a while since I made a recipe post so here’s a two-fer. I dont post recipes unless they’re easy.

I made bread pudding because Ryan had never heard of it. Its hard to pitch the concept of “bread, pudding” but french toast from the oven that you eat with ice cream is irresistable to the male sex.

2 cups whole milk (or 2 cups half & half)
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into small pieces (french bread works best)
1/2 cup raspberries

Directions:

1. In medium saucepan, over medium heat, heat milk (or half & half) just until film forms over top. Combine butter and milk, stirring until butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm.

2. Combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add milk mixture.

3. Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole.

4. Sprinkle with raspberries. Pour batter on top of bread.

5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Serve warm.

This sucker was super easy and really good. You can make it vegetarian by swapping out the shrimp for zucchini or asparagus.
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 garlic cloves, minced
cooking spray
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups diced plum tomatoes, diced fine (about 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup finely crumbled feta cheese, finely crumbled
4 cups cooked linguine, cooked or another noodle of your choice. I used Casarecce.
1/4 cup minced. fresh parsley, minced

1.Preheat oven to 350°.

2.Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oregano and the next 4 ingredients (oregano through garlic); saute for 3 minutes. Spoon the shrimp mixture into an 1 1 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.

3.Add wine to skillet; cook over in low heat until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 3 minutes). Stir in tomato, and pour over the shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Serve mixture over pasta, and sprinkle with parsley.

Alright, I googled my own blog but I had a reason. I keep getting random traffic from people googling “steaktooth”. Of course I was curious to find out who I shared a webular nomenclature with.

Meet Chris, a 30 year old bob marley fan. And while making fun of his lack of friends seemed the easiest route I would rather just point out that he’s apparently 30 and still a junior in highschool? I like him. I also like his grainy bent over webcam photo.

Another “steaktooth” gem:

Luby’s Patron Finds “Tooth” In Chopped Steak

“I bit down on a small piece and there it was. a tooth. I was disgusted. I said this is a tooth,” said the customer.

I like to think Ive got some alright stories, I also like to think you get to ride around in the balloon part of a blimp.

Fridays mark my weekly trip to the doctor. And while the process of leaving early, sitting in extra traffic, adding 30 miles to my trip, getting blood taken, being poked, prodded, looked over, weighed, measured, and consoled has become somewhat of a habit there is nothing like getting tangled in your gown and falling flat your face, naked, in front of your new doctor and his PA to jump start your morning. The only thing that could have made it any worse would have been finding out that I didn’t even need to undress but did anyway because there was a gown in there and I thought I should put it on. Oh, that happened too.

When I came into work this week I thought my little plant had been replaced. It’s leaves filled out so quickly over the last week and half, Im starting to think it actually has a shot.

Week 2 and a half of chemo was rough. The nausea has been keeping me up at night. I haven’t seen much hair loss, 2 or 3 clumps. I didn’t think the hair loss would have any effect on me. The idea of temporarily being able to enter a Jean-Luc Picard look-a-like contest does not rattle my bones but when I actually saw the clumps of hair reality hit me hard. I have cancer. As of my last check up my red blood cells are low and Ive lost some weight, so I guess it’s time to really take this seriously. Over priced organic, tasteless, no fun dinners here I come.

I keep trying to rewrite this post.. I dont like the way it came out. Chemo sucks and I dont have any good cancer jokes.
