Attempted Murder Sauce
We had Pho for dinner tonight and I was reminded of this. A few years ago I had jury duty. The trial I was on was for attempted murder. One of the 'hostile witnesses' was a nutty guy who was the eye witness to the crime, which had occurred inside his mothers car. When the District Attorney asked him about all the 'red stains' that were all over the inside of his moms car, he told the D.A. that he was pretty sure it was from Siracha sauce. The D. A. said 'Siracha sauce. . really?' 'Yes' he said and went on to explain what Siracha sauce is and how the color looked just like what was in his moms car, and so that is what it was. So as a result I always refer to this as 'Attempted Murder Sauce'.
Pictorial of the workday that was my 50th birthday!
Wednesday's Attic www.wednesdaysattic.com This post may not be very exciting. I decided in honor of my 50th Birthday, which fell on a weekday so of course I was working, to document my average workday. As you will see I have a very long commute, so most of it is Southern California freeway driving. So without further ado- here it is! I awoke to these lovely red roses from my sweet husband I started taking pics on the 210 while heading to work. I drive 4 freeways every day. The first part of the 210 is the pretty part of my drive. The 210 where it turns up to go through Pasadena. I call this part 'the first 210' and the part after the tunnel 'the second 210' Yes, its bumper to bumper on the other side. Glad I am not headed that way! And yes, you get to see all this through my dirty windshield just like I do. The Miller Brewery. I pass this stinky place everyday. This is the 57 freeway heading south toward the dreaded 10 freeway. Ahhh the interchange....
Cooking- Yes, I do that from time to time
I enjoy making Julia Childs recipe for French Onion Soup. It takes hours to make it properly, but is sooo worth it. Look my cooking is even in a blog about cooking! You can see it HERE
Moon Pies
Remember these? They seemed the most heavenly thing when I was a kid (back in the days when Hi-C came in a big ol' can)
Tacos= The Perfect food
Tacos are the perfect food. All 4 food groups are represented, they come in hard or soft shell variety, and can be filled with beef, chicken, fish and even veggies! You can do it!
Cupcakes!
Who the hell does not love cupcakes! They are just little cakes of fun! A cupcake or fairy cake is a small cake designed to serve one person, usually made in a small paper cup container. As with larger cakes, frosting and other cake decorations, such as sprinkles, are defining characteristics of modern cupcakes. A simple cupcake uses the same ingredients as most other standard cakes - incorporating butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. The name "cup" cakes or "measure" cakes is believed to have developed because of the use of the practice of measuring the ingredients using a standard-sized cup instead of the previous practice of weighing the ingredients. It is also possible that cupcakes came into being simply as smaller versions of the Victoria sponge cake, as the mixture required is exactly the same.
