FS 1.7 Dinner Art
On the subject of "is it art?"
My day has been a bit frustrating. Starting at the beginning of the business day I had one small mission to accomplish. In a perfect, sane world this should only take one simple five minute phone call. In reality, I stopped counting the many people I was transfered to and given extension numbers for after 10.
Oh yes, and that one small mission was no closer to being accomplished. After banging my head a a few times, stomping around muttering insults to the customer service industry as a whole, I see it is time to start dinner.
This is great right, cooking usually takes my mind off the little things that annoy me. So, what are we having tonight? I express out-loud while rummaging through the pantry and fridge. By the look of these ingredients I say "spaghetti it is!" Right about now I have a large pot with meat browning to perfection in a saute' of olive oil and Italian herbs. The smell is wonderful and reminds me of the basil plant on my counter, and eureka! That's right I'm making pesto!
I pull out my most handy gadget in my kitchen the 3 cup food processor. Pesto is perfection in a few easy steps. Harvest the basil, rinse, stuff in food processor, add olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese and a dash of salt and pepper and chop, blend, mix, chop, voila! Pour that over a little angel hair pasta with some roasted chicken and yum yum yum! As I open the lid and take a whiff of my perfect pesto I know it would be a waste to encourage anyone else in my household to try it.
In my house I am outnumbered by those that feel Italian food is simply pizza, fried mozzarella sticks, red sauce, pizza rolls, pizza pockets and pasta and must always contain ground round or a wanna be "Italian sausage". I have learned not to argue when said members claim that a pizza roll is Italian food because it has a meshing of pizza ingredients and and good dash of MSG for a poison your palate forever flavor. Much like how some people consider Boones Farm a "quality" wine, twitch twitch shutter shutter. This is what everyone else under my roof considers "quality" Italian food. It hurts the CK. I feel shame, shame, shame, but as they say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink the Chianti. -----CK

Mystery Photo Thursday 1.2
If you are scratching your head or shying away thinking this photo is creepy, you are not alone. The mystery of this pic is not what but WHY??? Two years ago I was visiting the Philbrook Museum working on an assignment for a class at OSU. I walked into the room and saw this, to make things even more insane it was animated and talking. Is it art? I am sure on some perspective yes. What and why I am still not sure. Please do not let this steer you away from visiting the Phil as this is most certainly not the norm for their collection and it is still one of my favorite spots in Tulsa. So, I open this blog up for someone to answer the questions we all have about this particular piece. I also must say that if it's purpose is for educational enlightenment I fear it would scare the poor, little children as soon as they walked into the room. ----CK

I deduct 10 points from Slytherin
The Muggle world has busted Crabbe... (link to story below)

3) I was trying to conjure oregano.
4)It's the secret ingredient in Hermione's muffins that makes them so tasty.
5) Draco made me do it.
FS1.6 It's Good To Know I Am Still The Alpha Of My Household
As a few of you know, I took a trip home this weekend and just returned yesterday afternoon. Upon walking back into the house I was expecting it to be in a shambles but to my surprise there was actually some major improvements made. No carnage, no wreckage, no Harold and his purple crayon murals on the walls. I do say I am most impressed. There was only one slight snag in the fabric of this home sweet home story... The dog Apparently my 38 pound little bundle of fur was too much for my 6 foot, military trained to kick your ass husband. Granted Ginger who is a mix of 3/4 German Shepherd and 1/4 we have no clue can be quite the stubborn little canine. She and I have on more than one occasion had the discussion over who is the head bitch of our household. I was shocked to hear that she was jumping on the couch and growling at my husband while I was gone. In fact her behavior was so bad that my husband was about to make a 911 call to the Dog Whisper instead she became an outside dog until I returned. Naturally, once I was settled in I had to see this so called "hell hound" behavior. So I opened the back door and she did her lap of joy around the downstairs then sat perfectly at my feet waiting for me to pet her. I bent down and gave her a pet and a scratch behind the ears and she quietly went into the next room and laid down. To this my husband just shakes his head and I say " it's good to know I am still the alpha of my household."---CK

CK must admit, I am a big "catch Fan"! Though I do not harbor (yes that pun was intended) as much intimacy for the Discovery Channel as the Bloodhound Gang, I do enjoy most of their shows. Except for those drop me in the middle of nowhere and see how long I can survive programs which just irritate me.
The Deadliest Catch is by far my favorite. I am quite sure this has something to do with the Scandinavian influence in my life. If ever there was an example of the work hard play hard mentality this is it. The guys do one hell of a job in the most treacherous weather conditions and body of water that the planet earth has to offer. I lift my shot glass of Brennivin to all the crews for a safe journey but must admit that the Northwestern and Time Bandit are most admired but I'll leave the cod biting for good luck to Edgar-----CK
