Food Pics 7

FROM TIME TO TIME I POST ABOUT FOOD.

THIS POST IS ALL ABOUT FOOD MARC HAS
MADE FOR ME .  IT ALMOST ISN'T FAIR THOUGH
BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A SMALL PART OF
THE AMAZEMENTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
CALLING DINNERS LATELY.

KEEPING TO FOOD PIC TRADITION I AM NOT
GOING TO CAPTION THESE .  IT IS PROBABLY
FOR THE BETTER THOUGH SINCE I WOULDN'T
KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE WHAT'S IN THEM
ANYWAY.  

WHAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF A FOODIE??
CAUSE I'M THAT.





MARC MADE THIS ONE FOR YOU WHILE WE 
WERE IN L.A. , BUNNYBANANA .  I TOOK THIS PIC OF 
THE ORIGINAL ONE HE MADE (IN MY PYREX 
CASSEROLE DISH- LOVE).


AND THEN USUALLY I WOULD HAVE A SEPARATE
POST FOR DRINKS BUT THIS ONE THAT MARC
MADE ME WITH FRESH POMEGRANATE FITS
WELL INTO THIS POST SO I'LL PUT IT HERE INSTEAD.

Sunday at Dad's

LAST SUNDAY I FOUND MYSELF OUT AT DAD'S
HOUSE AS I OFTEN DO.  IT WAS FUN, LOTS OF
PEOPLE , INCLUDING PAT AND ROBERT.

DAD MADE PORK ON THE GRILL AND WE
HAD MARSHMALLOWS (WELL I DIDN'T, 
WE ALL KNOW MY AVERSION TO GELATIN) AND
BANANA BREAD OUT BY A FIRE AFTERWARD.

HE GRILLED THESE LITTLE PEPPERS
WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE SUPER HOT.
DAD ATE ONE AND THEN WARNED US
ALL NOT TO.  PRETTY THOUGH.

AND ON A FINAL NOTE , I WAS LOOKING
AT THIS DECK OF AMERICAN CARDS THAT 
WERE ON THE COFFEE TABLE AND DAD
POINTED OUT TO ME THAT THE KINGS
WERE "NO KINGS".  

'MERICA  , YOU SO SILLY.

Weekly Drawing- "Gay Pac Man"

AS I MENTIONED HERE I AM GOING TO START
A NEW WEEKLY POST THAT IS SIMPLY A WEEKLY
DRAWING THAT I DO.  THERE ARE NO GUIDELINES
EXCEPT THAT IT HAS TO BE DRAWN BY ME .

IT'LL PUSH ME TO BE CREATIVER  .

SO THE FIRST ONE THAT I AM POSTING
IS ONE THAT I CREATED IN PAINTBRUSH.
(WHICH IS PAINT FOR MACS.)

I HAVE A FEELING A LOT OF THEM 
WILL BE DONE THIS WAY.


SOMEDAY SOME OF THESE MAY END UP
AS T-SHIRTS , BUT WE'LL SEE .

Keep Tucson Shitty

JUST LIKE MANY CITIES , TUCSON HAS COME UP
WITH IT'S OWN CATCH PHRASE TO "KEEPING IT REAL" .

SUPPOSEDLY BASED OFF OF AUSTIN'S "KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD"
TUCSONANS HAVE COINED THE PHRASE "KEEP TUCSON SHITTY".

THERE IS A LOT OF DEBATE AS TO
WHAT THAT MEANS AND WHO SUPPORTS WHAT.
IT IS ALL KIND OF A HIPSTER CLUSTERFUCK.

BUT I THINK MOST OF US CAN AGREE THAT
THE PICS BELOW ARE NOT WHAT WE MEAN BY KEEPING 
TUCSON SHITTY.  I TOOK THESE PICS ON A HIKE WITH 
DAD BACK IN NOVEMBER  .  SO SAD!!!


AND THEN I MADE A LOGO BASED ON IT:

NOTICE THE LACK OF GRAFFITI ON MY SAGUAROS .

Smellin' The Roses In Cali

ON MY TRIP TO L.A. FOR XMAS WE STOPPED
IN RIVERSIDE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS .

WE ENDED UP IN FAIRMOUNT PARK WHICH
HAS A GORGEOUS ROSE GARDEN, AND THE
ROSES WERE IN FULL BLOOM DESPITE IT BEING
DECEMBER  .  I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE PICS
BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WOULD BE ONE
OF THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THE PICTURE
COULD NOT CAPTURE HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY
WERE BUT THESE PICS TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD
MUCH TO MY SURPRISE .


VELVETY VIBRANCE






GRASSHOPPER FRIEND



YOU CAN SEE IN THE BACKGROUND OF THIS ONE
THE ROWS AND ROWS OF ROSES .  I LOVED IT.

My Kind Of Fruitcake

NEW YEAR  , NEW IDEAS , NEW POSTS !

IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD REOCCURRING
THEMES BASED ON TOPICS SUCH AS :

SUNDAY'S AT DAD'S
HIKING WITH MOM
SUNSETS
FOOD
DRINKS
ETC.

AND WHILE THESE MAY CONTINUE I WANT 
TO START ON SOME NEW ONES , SUCH AS :
 
ART SHOWS I PARTICIPATE IN
WEEKLY DRAWINGS (DONE BY ME , NOT AS IN A CONTEST)
MOM FASHION (BASED OFF OF MOM'S SOCKS)
 AND MORE!!!!

HOWEVER BEFORE MOVING ON I NEED TO POST ABOUT
THIS ONE LAST HOLIDAY ITEM BEFORE IT GETS LOST IN
THE DRAFTS ABYSS LIKE SO MANY POSTS DO.

AND I THINK THIS FOOD GEM DESERVES A POST ALL ITS OWN.
LOOKS KINDA LIKE A FRUIT CAKE DOESN'T IT??

DAD MADE IT FROM AN IDEA THAT
HIS SISTER  , JERILYN, SENT HIM.

IT'S ACTUALLY A TAMALE "CAKE", I GUESS YOU'D CALL IT???

(WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL TERM FOR A CASSEROLE-LIKE 
ITEM IN A BUNDT CAKE PAN MOLD??  I NEED TO KNOW!!)
DAD MADE A PORK CHORIZO FILLING FOR THE INSIDE
LAYER .  IT CAME OUT DELICIOUS !!  THE RED AND GREEN
CHILI PEPPERS MADE IT REALLY FESTIVE LOOKING, AND
TAMALES ARE A BIG HOLIDAY FOOD AROUND THESE PARTS .

ALTHOUGH IT DID KIND OF REMIND ME OF SOMETHING
YOU MIGHT FIND ON THIS WEBSITE :
UPSETTING VINTAGE RECIPES
THANKFULLY IT DOESN'T CALL FOR GELATIN.
