more experimental soup from the dungeons of dr. voog
adding the bleu cheese to THIS soup was maybe not the greatest idea. BUT...it's
not TERRIBLE. i just wish i hadn't done it. it IS less salty now, tho. undoing
a too salty of a soup is difficult.
soup (in a HUGE gallons big pot)
2 cut up potatoes, 2 "steaks", pack of green beans, 5 beef bouillion
cubes, 2 cans of bean with bacon soup, 1 can cheese soup, i package of mushrooms,
one onion, much salt and pepper, 1 clove of garlic, 2 eggs, and a big spoonful
of chocolate soy spread (i know, weird...i thought it would mellow it out
and make it less salty and you CAN'T taste anything chocolatey at all...which
is what the eggs were for , too..and it worked...i don't know why but i wanted
to add a cup of coffee too, don't ask me why but it needed it and i think
it would have worked if i had the energy to have added it) and a big hunk
of very expensive bleu cheese from the medeviel (spelling?) times.
yes, my experimental soup...
it's pretty ok, totally edible, and i'm learning a lot as i do it.
this isn't my best soup, but hey...scale of 1 to 10...a 5 or 6.
but BEST soup i make is chicken and
dumpling from scratch.
majorly swedish. my 100% swedish grandmother taught me and my 100% norwegian
mother. i combined both their ways and i have surpassed them both.
i rule on that. in fact i rule the universe with that soup.
but now...i must experiment.
i am really against using pre made
cans of other soup in my soup...or boullion cubes. i like to make the broth
without using these things. but i was lazy today.
11:44pm
i would bring my brother in to my apartment is #1 there was room #2 he could deal with that and #3 my dogs would not give him an asthma atack he could die of.
my brother could die soon.
he is an alcoholic.
he is a nervous wreck.
he is black but he has only lived in small white towns so really, in his soul,
he is white.
he needs his ferret, which is the only animal, so far, that does not make
him have an asthma attck.
he loves animals.
he needs to be alone mostly.
but he needs supervision. he can pay for his own food and a small bit of rent.
he is a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome.
if he could just have a room where he could be safe, watch cable tv, have
his ferret or a non shedding dog,
and be watched over a bit, that would be good, i think, and he could be "saved"
he likes to fish. he doesn't understand
black culture nor does he really even want to be educated on it, at this point.
he feels unsafe and persecuted.
he is 33.
should i advertise for a place for him? would anyone take him in and just give him a safe space?
i'm afraid for him.
i feel helpless.

11:00pm
i forgot that before i had my phone
# listed on that "no call " list which made it illegal for people
who wanted to sell me things to call me.
now i am getting calls for
"free" vacations and shit.
how do i get my new # on the no call list?
muthafucka...

in other news:
rule #2
once you've made a soup too salty it's very difficult, if not impossible, to undo it.
watching "in the life" on PBS now.
10:36pm
this is funny because i want to say this is a "metrosexual" moment for me...but women can't be metrosexual can we?
anyway...
how can a person NOT be able to tell the difference between suave and aveda shampoo. how????
there is no way.
in other news:
in my "white trash" moment (and ducky tells me i shouldn't use that term..and i understand BUT...having come from the land of hotdish *and she did , too*...i must say "lower middle class protestant soup from minnesota"...i am making a soup that contains in it 2 cans of bean and bacon and 1 can cheddar cheese. i also did make tator tots tonight. so... there you have it.
did that sentence structure make
ANY sense? if you are from minnesota you got it.
if you are from anywhere else (besides wisconsin and iowa) you might feel
a bit of confusion.anyway this soup smells DAMN good.
i wish you were here to have some.
9:56pm
persona
i'm curious, some people i speak with say that the majority of the world has
a public "persona" and then a "truer" private side to
themselves. that most people project one side to the world (the side they
wish to be seen as but isn't necessarily who they are) but are different people
in "private.
do you feel you have 2 sides to you?
a public and a personal/private?
or do you feel that the "real" you the "inner" you is really the actual you that you "project"/show others?
i'm curious as to what most people do and i'm curious as to what you all have to say about this.
if you do have "2 sides", a further question i have is do you wonder what would happen and if people would accept you if you showed your inner self on the outside? and if you wonder this...what do you think would happen if you showed your private self in public?
9:36pm
i'm making the most beautiful thing :)

5:42pm
fascinating ana update #20340239480342394023494
i'm baking tator tots and listening to nick cave!
4:54pm
i wonder what is up with that senator
saying he wants to get together and then not getting back to me on that. it's
the 2nd time he's done that in the last few years.
i should find out when he is going to be at the capital and just show up there
one day.
"oh yoo hoo, senator!"
i'm dissecting past crocheted things
and combining them in new ways.
fun :)
also what is up with people signing
up for my mailing list and then yelling at me to stop sending them "crap"
or "spamming" them?
man, THEY signed up for it. hi?
i'm just like, log in to yahoo and unsub yourself then. lord.
there are some really weird lazy rat bastardy crabby ass jerks in the world.
3:17pm
i got my yarn from pluckyfluff
and the dogs are chewing on rawhide chews and so we are all happy here :)
listening to belle and sebastian, and nick drake and kosheen.
and ya, i have a coke. i'm not doing great on giving that up.
BUT, i am only drinking one a day now instead of 4 or more a day so that is SOMEthing.
i'm thinking about what i want to
make with all these yummy mohair.
i think i may even take apart 2 other hats made from pluckyfluff mohair so
i can use all of it in one BIG thing. like i may take the orange mohair off
the pumpkin jellyfish (and crochet tubes coming off it instead with the same
orange linen yarn i still have left, as i had originally intended)
(http://www.anacam.com/hats/hats2004/hats2004.html)
and this one:
http://www.anacam.com/hats/hats2003/pompommohair1.jpg
i wish pluckyfluff would make more white mohair like i used the the faerie
dread funkadelic 'cause i need summa that, too!
like a shawl or a sweater...or....something...something....*thinking*
whatever i make, i may make just something with normal yarn 1st...and then
put this mohair all squiggled and spiralled over the top, as in the spirals
and squiggles in the last hat i made that you can see in the previous entry
to this one.
i wish i knew how she made this yarn. i think i can sort of guess, and i admit, i have not tried yet...but i think i might need a drum carder in order to make this kind of mohair to get to get it all fluffed up like she does. and i'm not going to hand card anything because i DESPISE hand carding. i gave my hand carders to fuzzybumblebee
i also bought ingredients to make
more soup.
beef, potatoes, onions, green beans, and some cans of cheddar cheese soup,
too.
i need to get tupperware or something so i can freeze soup when i make it
because i never can eat it all before it goes bad.
gee, what a fascinating journal entry, eh?
it's good to have normal days. nice fall day. and it's still warm here for this time of year. like right now it's 52 degrees. we've had no snow so far. we've barely had any snow the last couple years really. global warming?
back to making my hat with the silk
yarn i made and dyed with koolaid. so soft!
2:17pm
wrote my dad an email about mom because
i forgot to say a few important essential details.
i hope i am done with that now.
paid my phone bill.
i took of my bookmarks to news, but the saw jacqui wrote that a man had set
himself on fire in front of the white house so i had to go see what that was
about and i saw powell has resigned.
i'm going back to work on my hat now.
1:13pm
i'm just going to have to wait until jason comes home to help me configure how to ftp directly up to this place instead of using their web interface because it's taking me an hour per song to upload it through their interface. i hope he will have time or energy to help me.
11:34pm
i'm loading my music for you onto
a new server that btripp
kindly gave me.
trying to figure it all out."this may take me pretty much all day, but
it will get done :)
i guess i'll just put the links here as i upload the songs..and then put these on the music page later on more nicely:
