I used to make this strange honey ginger chicken strir fry in high school that my dad loved. Lotsa honey & dried ginger WTF?! In retrospect it sounds awful, but he loved it. He once threatened to ground me if I didn't skedaddle to the store & get the ingredients to make it for dinner one night. Good times...

seven layer dip and buffalo wings yummy!

Gorgonzola!

Peanut butter & bacon sandwich. Toast up some plain old square white bread. A layer of crunchy, not smooth, PB (Jif is the preferred brand) and a layer or two of hot, fatty, crispy bacon. Mmmm..mmmm...mmmm!

I probably have the most jacked up feet known to man because the Dansko clogs kill my feet. I just got finished with my second pair of clogs from them (gave them a second try even though I dumped my first pair after 1 week of wearing them 2 years ago). They were comfy for about a week, but by the 3rd week of stomping around on kitchen tile for 9 hours a day I was back to taking tylenol each night to dull the screeching foot pain. I broke down & bought a new pair of Keen's (they're against our dress code so I gotta hide em) cause they are the ONLY shoes I've ever worn in the kitchen that don't leave me crying at night. They have some leather, non-skid sole versions that look pretty cool. Anyway I just had to give Keen there due since you never hear about people wearing them behind the line.

Ribeye is still my favorite! It reminds me of the rare & exotic visits to Pondegrossa, Shizzler and the like when I was a kid on vacation with my parents.

Ohhhh baconbaconbacon! I love my bacon when it turns that crispy, melt-in-the mouth reddish brown with that beautiful fringe of translucent fat. I may in fact *require* the BOTM club, but I'm not sure.

That is crazy! I never thought the microwave was actually, really & for true, cooking my frozen dinner. Now I have to rethink my whole laziest-person-in-the-universe all Lean Cuisine weight loss plan. Although, week long salmonella induced explosive diarrhea could leave me Victoria Beckham thin. Hmmmm...

I've trained myself to strictly portion food when I cook so I have little or no leftovers to store & inevitably throw away later. I do however eat all types of leftover take away & home cooked food straight from the fridge. My BF says this is my super power (eating inappropriately temped food). I always get a "Bomp bomp-bomp bommp! It's Suuupergirl!" when I pull the cold mash potatoes with gelatinous gravy & cold sliced london broil slathered with Fruity HP out for breakfast. Dear god, that last sentence actually made my stomache growl....
