Update + apology

2010-11-29T22:08:00.004-05:00

Hey guys. Sorry about the constant layout changing. I'm just very iffy on all the ones I've conjured up. It would help a lot if you could comment on my tagboard and tell me which one you like most. It's just that downloads have come to a screeching halt and i don't know whether I just lost popularity or I started sucking hah. I thought it was because the previous layout was not accessible so this one is really blunt and accessible.

I should be coming out with some new stuff soon. Just bare with me, a lot of sheep is going down.
Baaaaaaah.

It is worth making the most of baby squash while they are in season. Use any varieties you can find and do not worry too much about choosing vegetables of uniform size, as an assortment of different types and sizes look attractive. The baked vegetables can easily be shared out at the table. Serve with warm sun-dried tomato bread and a ready-made spicy tomato sauce for a hearty fall supper.
Stuffed Baby Squash
Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Pierce the squash in several places with the tip of a knife. Bake for 30minutes, until the squash are tender. Leave until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, cook rice in salted, boiling water for 12 minutes, until tender, then drain. Slice a lid off the top of each squash and scoop out and discard the seeds. Scoop out and chop the flesh. Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the chopped squash for 5 minutes. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the cheese, add the remainder to the skillet with the rice and a little salt. Mix well. Pile the mixture into the squash shells and place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 20minutes. Serves 4. (: Apprécier!
4 small squash, each about 12 ounces
1 cup mixed wild and basmati rice
4 tablespoons chili and garlic oil
1 1/4 cups grated Swiss cheese

A vanilla and coffee syrup brings out the wonderful flavor of figs - serve strained plain yogurt or vanilla with the poached fruit. A good selection of different honey is available - its aroma and flavor will be subtly scented by the plants surrounding the hives.
Fresh Fig Compote
Choose a skillet with a lid, large enough to hold the figs in a single layer. Pour in the coffee and add the honey. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the pan. Add the vanilla bean then bring to a rapid boil, and cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Wash the figs and pierce the skins several times with a sharp skewer. Cut in half and add to the syrup. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the figs from the syrup with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Strain the syrup over the figs. let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Etre robuste !
1 2/3 cups fresh brewed coffee
1/2 cup honey
1 vanilla bean
12 slightly under-ripe fresh figs

Spicy fresh ginger root is delicious with melon and pear in this revivng and invigorating concoction. Charentais melon can be used instead of the cantaloupe melon in this recipe. To enjoy fresh ginger root at its best and most pungent, buy it in small quantities, and keep in a cool, dry place for up to a week. As it ages, the root will dry out and become hard.
Melon Pick-me-up
Cut the cantaloupe melon into fourths, remove the seeds using a teaspoon or a sharp knife, and carefully slice the flesh away from the skin, reserving any juice. Using a juice extractor, juice the melon flesh and juice, the pear fourths and juice, and the fresh ginger root. Pour the juice into a tall glass and serve immediately. (: Apprécier!

Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man.

I've always wanted to be a superhero, but considering there is a higher chance at being a princess I think I'll have to get over it. Here is Mary Jane Watson, M.J. for short, Peter Parker's girlie friend in the comic books of Spiderman. God do I love those movies. I had to watch for the millionth time all three before I wrote this up haha! There is just something about Spiderman that I think brings the best out of people and especially me. ... Wow I sound like a crackpot haha!

He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.

Here's my attempt at M.J. Happy Siming!

I know you think we can't be together, but can't you respect me enough to let me make my own decision? I know there'll be risks but I want to face them with you.

Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?

Banana Bread

1. Banana Bread (n.)

A black person who is unusually studious, or obsessed with anime/manga/video games. Hence, black on the outside and yellow on the inside.
"MORE ff7? Damn, fred, you're such a banana bread."

2. Banana Bread (n.)

Banana Bread is the funniest word in the world that got turned into a gang in ossining ny

Also its what you say if your in the gang
Yo I'm about 2 pop off on those nigga. Banana Bread!!!!
/urbandictionary

Haha I'm sorry, I couldn't resist those sweet definitions. I'm probably going to get beat up for those.....

Oh well, on with the bread!

This bread was something I just kinda came up with because I had some rotting bananas and wasn't in the mood for a smoothie. It's really basic (like a lot of my recipes) but I promise it's freaking amazing. I can't get my fam' away from it.

1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup bananas, mashed (2 to 3 bananas)

Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Sift flour, measure. Add baking powder, soda, and salt, sift again. In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil while adding sugar slowly. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients alternately with the masked bananas. Turn into a greased loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour.

Now you could add in nuts, I guess if you wanted to. I didn't put nuts in this recipe because I never have chopped nuts on hand, so feel free to add them in.

Banana Bread!!! lol (:

Betty's Pumpkin Pie

2010-03-28T12:30:00.004-04:00

Life is filled with hard work and tasks that need doing, but when it's all said and done, the best things are simple and shared with family and friends. These things usually involve food. And food usually involves making a mess! Use your favorite pie crust recipe or a store-bought crust. Canned pumpkin will work fine, but here's a tasty way to use real pumpkin.

To prepare fresh pumpkin, cut open a medium-size pumpkin and scoop out the seeds. Cut the remaining pumpkin into quarters, place the pieces skin-side-down on a cookie sheet, and bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius)until the pumpkin is soft. Remove it from the oven, let it cool, and scoop out the fruit.

For a rough texture, mash fruit by hand and do the mixing by hand, too. For a smooth texture, puree it in a blender or food processor and use an electric mixer.

2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups mashed pumpkin
1 1/2 cups milk

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter; add the sugar and eggs. Mix well. Then add the remaining ingredients, and mix. Pour into a pie plate lined with an unbaked pie crust. Bake for 1 hour or until the crust turns golden brown.

Enjoy! (:
