It has officially been declared this evening that I am a Pizza Diva!! I'm hanging out with my parents tonight and made two pizzas on whole wheat crust: chicken-onion pesto and chicken barbecue (with homemade sauce). One of my greatest passions is cooking and it's the best therapy for wiping away all the crap I've had to put up with during the day at work!
I'm sitting on the couch in the living room of my childhood and I have to say, their house is always quite an adventure. First of all, the kitchen has a junk drawer. Seriously, a drawer completely full of junk including twisty ties, tiny light bulbs, empty matchbooks, pencils missing the lead, bottle caps, bottle openers, dirty post-it pads, and programs from funeral wakes. This place really exists!
I'm convinced that my mom is afraid of a proper knife and I nearly lost a finger tonight as I "shimmied" a knife through an onion! The silverware drawer has been off its tracks for years and the popcorn machine burns the kernels! There must really be a drawer revolt in this house as the vegetable drawer in the fridge has recently joined rank!
With the exception of the Jack Lalanne Juicer, I don't believe they've bought a new appliance in years. As I write this, I'm listening to my mother give a dissertation on Car Insurance rates and how the white men eradicated the Native Americans. They also believe that due to the Obama administration we'll very possibly need to escape the USA and become refugees once again. There's a lot of yelling going on here. A lot! Oh, now she's comparing real humans to Jesus. I can't even explain any more of this to you without you calling me a liar right to my face. You can't make up this kind of crazy people. It's really happening!
The icing on the cake here is my brother and his two friends who always appear under-groomed. These guys are always filling their free time by sitting around and discussing the most random crap they can think of! I just heard them recap the entire plot of Inglorious Bastards and honestly, I kind of don't want to see the movie now. In the last minute they've quoted Mad Max, Seinfeld and Popeye! I'm related to their ring leader too so what does that say about me?
Stay tuned for a summary of my weekend adventures!
