As promised, here’s my latest culinary concoction: family style Mac and cheese! The before:

And the after!



Still got leftovers. Gonna last us for days!!
Till next time, everyone!
That I am a cook? Well, I am! Last night I tried to make Peking duck. It… was a disappointment. As you can see below, we picked at it awhile but the meat was tough and the skin spongy. A first failure. Trying again with homemade Macaroni and cheese w/Italian sausage. Will share the before and after a in a few!!

My birthday is at the end of the month (September 30, to be clear) and I need to do something special for all of you for it… but what?
The natural answer would be another Tom and Vince story, but I have been stuck on my current one for a few months now, dug myself into a narrative hole and can’t get out!
Maybe introduce a new storyline… I’ll figure it out soon, I promise!
Till next time!
Would it hurt to forget
All the wrongs you did to me?
If I tried to build yet another bridge
You would just burn it down
You never wanted me as anything
But a victim
Happy Mother’s Day
You’re an awful mother
Goodbye
While the fires burn
And the oceans rise
The rich man waits
To claim his prize
Working for tomorrow
Buried by the past
We wish to be treated as men
And yet act like we’re mechanical
~Just a little smash poetry for the day. Been working a little hard at the real world job, so I’ve been tired a lot. Still making time for story writing-wish there were more hours in the day, not that it would help as I’m an early sleeper. All the same, gotta make as much time for writing as I can.
Till next time, I guess.
I’m still alive, in case everyone is wondering. Been working on the new Tom and Vince story, but it’s taking a real long time. And when I say “long” I mean LOOONG.
It is a challenge writing what is basically a season one ending to this series. Trying to introduce new characters, but I am not sure where to go or if I chose the right way to introduce them. GAH, the insecurity is palpable!!
Just wanted you all to know why it is taking so long to get a new story out. Sorry it’s been so long since my last update. I will have to do better by all of you…
Till next time…
We all want to be heroes
See our names in lights
But being a hero means more
Than looking for a fight.
We think being a hero
Means going big
Or giving all
What if heroism
Means something small?
Like a hug
Or a helpful hand,
Being a hero happens.
We all have small chances
At heroism
Even if we don’t notice
How what we did
Saved lives and enhances.
We can be heroes,
No!
We ARE heroes
Every day, in small ways.
NOTE: I write this feeling guilt over not being the kind of person I think I should be.
Explanation: There was a small kitten in distress at my place of work. I heard it, and looked for it, but couldn’t find it. The best I could do since it was a Subday was hope that it lived long enough for it to be rescued on Monday (no rescue services available at the time).
I don’t know what happened to it, or if it is alive, but I wish I could have done more. I have to do more, and be better than I am now. Least, that’s how I feel…
My God
Is a middle finger
Standing proud
And defiant
In the face of those in power.
You feel a tickle in your nose
and we all know how the rest of this goes…
AHH-CHOO!
Into a tissue or your arm
The result of allergies that harm.
And raises your sinuses to alarm
AHH-CHOO!
Again and again
With no relief
Can I get a napkin, for good grief?
AHH-CHOO!
