Ham and lentil soup today.

Gonna make turkey pot pie tomorrow. A while back I accidentally discovered that if you use sweetened unsalted butter in the crust recipe, it turns out amazing. Been doing it that way ever since. Also, trying a new version of my recipe for coffee cookies. Cold brew coffee for extra strong flavor, and less baking soda so they aren't so cake-y.

How are coffee cookies? I never was a fan of coffee. Much more a tea person.

For stock I love using the Kitchen Basic brands. I tried a lot of different stocks and it tastes pretty damn good. I think it is my sick affection for honey that gets me.

So I don't know what was up but I completely ruined a pumpkin so I had some pesto that was supposed to go with it and I had no idea what to do with it. Decided to get creative with it and add it to some home made tomato sauce and serve it of some penne pasta with some sliced up Italian sausage. Turned out pretty damn awesome.

The pesto was walnut and arugula instead of pine nuts. Its a pretty tasty alternative.

Stuffed chicken wings coated in shake and bake extra crispy with a pinch of garlic salt mixed in.   I stuffed them with dark meat this time instead of Italian sausage like last time.

What's with the retro phone? Also I made some pretty good Lebanese style moussaka. Cinnamon makes for such an fine main dish spice.

Will see about doing this. Always love some fresh cheese.

Reeses, specifically the ones that are individually wrapped and not sealed but just kind of glued on the bottom. I don't know why but the fact that they are not air tight changes the taste and for the better.

Second would be Butterfingers. Don't eat them often as they are hard as hell to get out of my teeth but damn they taste good.

Also these, which I can no longer seem to find.

I used to buy them as a kid for like a dollar a bag. Not sure I'm ready to spend 20 bucks.

Wings and rings down at the shack, I am a regular elbows on that silkey oak taring straight ahead at that hotsauce like I now I'm going to move it with telekinesis one day. I'm not a hardass, I'm just not participating in the atmosphere. I only come by five to closing and stay an hour after, when the taps are wide out open the door's locked and the chef and I, Florida man, are mopping up the scraps with out fingers and faces while we lsiten to white zombie at a level that is audibly unsustainable. Those are the nights and ain't it funny how it is.

If true it sounds fun. I didn't sleep at all last night so at 7 this morning I put some stew together in the crockpot. Nothing fancy but it was homey and delicious. Still haven't slept, gonna see how late I can last tonight. I cant stay up for days like I used to being 25 years old now has taken a toll on my body and I'm just not as young and spry as I used to be.  lol

Seriously though. 4 years of kickboxing and cliff scaling for fun have fucked up my body. Gotta a bad back, bad shoulder. I think I might have arthritis in my hip from when it got dislocated and one of my knees creaks and aches.

Where im from you can get a pack between 2 and 4 bucks depending on brand. I use coconut oil a lot but I find it is more expensive.
