Sneezie Leezie
Leezie was my nickname in highschool. Then, amongst the crowd i hung with, pig latin became popular (oh, i know, we were the coolest), and i did my best to drop the nickname Leezie! Those of you that know pig latin may understand why.

I have been sofa bound for a couple of days. Saturday night hit it me hard. I thought i escaped the cold bug (e:Uncutsaniflush) had... but it looks like i didn't. Damn it.

On another far more possitive note...
Happy Birthday, (e:Paul)!

Did someone just bring this bubble maker, or was it a birthday gift for (e:Paul) ?

(e:Libertad) and (e:MK) being anti-bubble!
image

I swear, it all started because i mentioned that (e:Matthew) 's jammie bottoms looked like something Edward Gorey would draw, and the next thing you know, (e:Dragonlady7) is reading The Gashlycrumb Tinies to us. Story Time! Yay!!
image

We barely got through that when we were told to get our hinnies out and watch (e:Paul) smash is porniata (sp?)
image

(e:Oda) got her sugar on
image

and (e:Mike) should have said no
image

(e:lilho) wanting no one to say no
image

Brothers

Sisters

The gang (nice heart, (e:Carolinian) ! )

mrmike - 01/20/07 16:56
Ah,sigh - nice pics
mk - 01/20/07 15:53
Great pics, and thanks again for the munchies! That's a great pic of Paul at the end there.
metalpeter - 01/20/07 15:10
Nice pictures thanks for sharing, that one of (e:lilho) with the cash and credit card is a classic. I wonder if anyone got a picture of the Pizza delivery person when she went out to the door like that. I belive the buble machine was a gift for paul but I'm not sure.

Third Time's A Charm
So, what is a girl to do if she doesn't have a need or desire to go out during a rainy/snowy/icey day? Make ice cream!!

My first try was ok. Raspberry sorbet for my beloved. I didn't have as many frozen raspberries as i should have, so it was a bit too sweet. (e:Uncutsaniflush) doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, but when he wants sweets he wants them very sweet... so this fits the bill. Next time, more raspberries, less sugar and a tiny bit more lemon juice.

My second try didn't go as well. Cinnamon ice cream. I used a bit too much sugar, again, and a tiny bit too much cinnamon. Plus, the big boo boo was not letting the mixture cool enough before putting into the ice cream maker. Next time, i might just try steeping cinnamon sticks instead of putting in the powder.

This try... banana ice cream!! Oh, i hope it tastes as good when it is completely hardened as it did when it was soft serve from the ice cream maker!! At the last minute, i added walnuts and chocolate chips too. I cooled the mix in the fridge overnight while the ice cream bowl froze, too. So it should be yum!!

Of course, i could just find recipes instead of inventing them like (e:jenks) suggested...

Ha ha ha... well, i think i disagree with that quote. My cinnamon ice cream was unredeemingly bad...
jenks - 01/15/07 18:45
yep, that's all I ever use. Sweet cream base #2 I think, and then I throw stuff in. There are tons of other yummy sounding ones in there that I always say I'll try, but never get around to. I think I even saw a recipe for beer ice cream somewhere.
zobar - 01/15/07 18:29
Shit, I didn't know you were flying solo with the ice cream maker. You should try the seriously old-skool Ben & Jerry's Cookbook. Great recipes; fun commentary. :::link::: "There's no such thing as an unredeemingly bad batch of homemade ice cream."

Food
It's supposed to snow or ice or be cold and icky out... so... what better thing to do but look for ice cream recipes online!!??!

Since i got my ice cream maker, i have been itching to use it, even if i don't always feel like eating ice cream in a big slightly drafty house in the winter.

More than anything, i want cinnamon ice cream. No one sells it, or at least it is rare to see in the grocery stores. And i so don't know why... i love love love cinnamon.

Had cinnamon toast for breakfast... a childhood favorite.

Found a couple of recipes online.. some at the cuisinart site. The dark chocolate sorbet looks good, and very simple. I may even have the ingredients -- water, white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa. Opps... no, we don't. Oh well. I won't die if i don't do it today.

Yesterday, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i ate at a new mexican restaurant. So new their sign isn't even up. It's in the old Denny's by the corner of Niagara Falls Boulevard and Sheridan. Driving by not too long ago, i saw a sign -- one of those portable ones -- that said "authentic mexican food". So, we decided to wander in to try it.

Yum. It's no El Charro, the place in KNoxville Tennessee (E:Uncutsaniflush) and i hold all other Mexican restaurants up to as a comparison, but it was damn good. And i would recommend them.

We picked up a take out menu, since neither of us got further than the lunch specials and the vegetarian section looks good. Spinach Burrito is on my list of must trys...

Hmm... i feel like cooking and eating... i wonder if i have PMS?
zobar - 01/13/07 13:57
Anderson's has soft-serve cinnamon on special sometimes; check the calendar: :::link:::

We used to buy heavy cream by the half-gallon; alas, no Stew's in WNY. :::link:::

For good cheap authentic Mexican, see also El Canelo. Margaritas very tasty, albeit NEON! green. :::link:::

PMS makes you feel like cooking? Best PMS Ever!!

Lee- the cinnamon ice cream i made (that was delicious) was just the usual vanilla recipe i use, with 1tsp of cinnamon. My vanilla uses eggs, but i'm sure you could use one you like...

I'm Invisible!?!?
(e:Paul) .. i love you and i so appreciate all the work you do on (e:strip). Hell, i wouldn't be bitching about this if i didn't love this place, right?

My posts keep disappearing from the Read The Latest list... But if i go directly to my post, it's there.

This is the one that is gone this time:
