i am socially inept. not awkward, but completely inept.

i wonder if the OP considered the wording of their topic when they posted this. harder when ur older. i thot the reason viagra is on the market and doing so well is because of the exact opposite?!?
teeheehee

yeah smokin crack when ur older isn't the same as when u were younger. tsk, tsk, tsk...

eyeball it. ur wantin to kno how much oil n flour to use for the roux. maybe just enough oil to cover the bottom of a 10" pot pretty well. not a light coat as for a saute, nor quite as much as if u were going to pan fry, but just enough to cover it well. then u add flour until it almost gets pasty, but not too thick otherwise u'll burn the roux very quickly. it should still have liquid characteristics, which is to say, it should be very viscous but u can still slide it around the pot if u pick it up and swirl the pot around with ur hands. but only just barely. get as much flour in as possible until JUST BEFORE it goes thick and clumpy on ya. remember to cook it slow, and stir often (i like to pick the pot up and give it a swirl to move the roux around). and as far as stock goes, if ur makin the gumbo, plan on using about a quart to a quart and a half. maybe even two quarts. really just depends how much of the stuff ur wantin to make... i'd say one green bell pepper, one small onion or maybe half of a very large one, a few ribs of celery enough to equal the amount of bell pepper u have. go crazy with the garlic if u wanna. it's ur stew. about a pound of okra, almost a pound each sossij and chicken. it's just a guideline for cooking. ur the boss in ur own kitchen. make it as thin or as thick as u like. ol girl said she don't like okra. well that's too bad for her cos she don't know what she's missing, mais, c'est la vie. substitute file' powder for the okra to help thicken ur stew. or if u can't find that u could use cornstarch. whatever...




how much are you willin to pay me to be ur personal chef? and are u going to finance my relocation to whatever state and city u live in? cos i need a job so... if ur wantin to hire me, i'm more than willing to prepare ur meals for u every day.

chikn n sossij gumbo then

chikn
andouille sossij
green pepper, onion, celery, diced
garlic, minced
bay leaf
oregano
tomato, peeled, seeded, chopped
okra, chopped
salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne
*hot soss
flour
vegetable oil
chikn or vegetable stock

i don't care how u make ur gumbo, this is how i make mine. u can put all sorts of nasty shellfish in urs if u like.

make ur roux, low heat let it brown gently and slowly, stir frequently to avoid burning it. it should be VERY dark but NOT BLACK when it's ready. then u dump in the pepper, onion and celery and saute for a bit. after that bit toss in some salt and all manner of pepper, garlic and tomato. make sure u stir well to incorporate all the seasonings. at this point u can start stirring in the stock and bay leaf.

in another pan, saute the chikn and sossij, probably do them separately. once they are sufficiently browned, toss them into ur gumbo. bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and toss in ur okra. at this point if u feel like makin ur stew any spicier than already is from the cayenne feel free to dump in ur favorite hot soss. make it too spicy and u'll be eating alone mind u.

serve over cooked long grain white rice. bon appetit mes amis!

ARROZ CON POLLO

first off ur gonna need ARROZ and POLLO, worry about the CON later... get u some COÑO primero y luego la mandas a preparar tu ARROZ CON POLLO. sm:)e

chikn thighs or whole chikn in pieces
rice
onion, green pepper diced
garlic, minced
adobo
black pepper
paprika
turmeric
coriander
peas, carrots, green beings
chikn or vegetable stock
oil - vegetable, peanut, corn, olive

season the chikn liberally with adobo, paprika and pepper then brown evenly in large pot with oil. after they have a nice color to 'em, remove from the oil and replace with the onion and green peppers. saute for a hot minute then add the garlic. after a short bit of allowing the garlic to get warm, toss in the rice and stir well to completely coat all grains of rice well in the oil. toast the rice for a bit then dump in about a teaspoon of turmeric and a healthy dose of coriander. if ur workin with raw carrots toss 'em in now too. add the chikn back into ur pot. arrange the chikn so that it will all fit evenly in ur pot. add in the stock (2 parts liquid to 1 part rice for those of u that didn't already know, e.g. 2 cups stock to 1 cup rice). stir well but don't disturb ur chikn much as u want it to be mostly submerged so that it too will cook. make sure all the rice is below the chicken and completely submerged otherwise u will have tough little uncooked grains in ur finished dish. (not yummy)

allow this pot to simmer covered for approximately 25 - 30 minutes before adding in ur frozen peas, carrots (if u didn't add fresh ones to begin with) and green beings. allow to cook another 10 minutes or so until all ur veggies are cooked and tender. remove from heat, fluff the rice and incorporate all the ingredients in ur pot. serve, enjoy.

cheers

yes clearly i'm in love with the girl i've been seeing. every day spent waiting to hear from her is torture in anticipation of the moment i'll hear her voice. i have to wonder outloud "how did i get so lucky to have such a beautiful girl even talk to me, let alone spend time with me?". being in her presence is sufficiently stimulating let alone having a moment with her where she's paying attention to me. the excitement i feel when i'm with her i can't contain nor express in words. i feel like she accepts me as i am and doesn't judge me or expect anything from me. i may be the most pathetic person here on mingle because when i'm around her i get all excited like a gradeschooler with his first girlfriend. and even more pathetic because all the while i'm excited, i'm nervous too, 'does she like me??', 'am i annoying her?', 'is she bored with me?'. i like this girl so much, i really don't wanna screw it up. honestly, i feel like i could love this girl for the rest of my life. she's so beautiful and beyond that, she's sooo nice to me. i can't wait for the next opportunity i will have to see her. yes, CLEARLY i'm in love with this girl. clearly.

i don't kno how to tell her. i don't want her to feel like i'm pressuring her or trying to rush things or push things towards a relationship. she indicated to me before that she was not interested in a relationship. but yeah, i'm pathetic, i confess. i'm in love with a girl and i'm not ashamed to tell anyone.

well i mix mine just under a cup of sugar to a half gallon. so almost two cups of sugar to a gallon. i used to keep 3 sometimes 4 gallons of sweet tea ready to go in the fridge back when i lived in my apartment. and that stuff was like syrup, i would usually dilute it some before serving it. i'd pour a glass of ice with a little bit of water and then add in the tea and stir.

i love sugar tho. more than once i've had someone comment to me that they're surprised i am not diabetic with the way i eat sugar. the amounts of sugar they've seen me consume they say that it would cause a diabetic to go into coma from just watching me. i dunno about all that. i jes have a sweet tooth. actually i have a mouthful of sweet tooths. every single one of 'em.

i've almost finished the half gallon now, there's maybe a pint left

make ur child smoke it in front of you. let 'em see the disappointment on ur face as they are doing it. ask whatever questions u have of your child. "does that make u feel better?", "did i not love you enough?" etc... make ur child tell u why they need to smoke.

and in the end, just be glad ur kid's only smoking marijuana and not runnin dope.

so now i've switched over to chugging sweet tea. it tastes better than the wine, only i don't know the long term effects of sweet tea abuse vs. those of alcohol abuse. i kno drinking too much alcohol can scar the liver. what will happen to me if i continue drinking so much sweet tea? i've already downed a quart in less than five minutes.

if snow tasted like sweet tea that wouldn't be bad either.

a crime yes, but not one that is bound by society's laws. and nor would the taking of this life. but it's just a feeling i'm having. i probably wouldn't be able to find the perpetrator anyway.

the closest i've been to experiencing death like this is when my exgf's father died. i cried when she told me he had passed and i never had the chance to meet him. she had told me about him, but he got sick and died very quickly. mostly i felt sad for her, i didn't understand all what i was feeling then. i understand even less all the feelings i'm having now.

i was more or less wondering what other people have done to cope with loss. since i don't have an unlimited supply of xanax or wine, i can't stay locked up in my room completely obliterated. u kno?

my deepest sympathy to those who posted losing a loved one. i never knew what it was to feel loss like that.

...

vanilla. unadulterated, pure fragrant vanilla. and sugar. vanilla and sugar.

thanx gaiz. i'm very sorry for ur losses.

what kills me i guess is how sudden and ugly it was. i want to avenge the life that was taken in such a barbaric manner because it was so pure and innocent. just feeling so many differnt things right now.

a few. one time, this big fat french sous-chef had it in for me this one day i showed up for my shift. throwing things towards me, not directly at me, but throwing them at me in an ugly manner, like "here cut these up!", talking to me like i was subhuman. but towards the end of the nite he put his hands on me, like he pushed me or yanked me or something... i told him never ever put his hands on me again, i was lookin him square in the face and had he touched me again i would have cleaned his clock, but instead he continued to babble something in his ridiculous accent and i walked over to the manager, explained to him what happened and that i couldn't work in a hostile environment like that, told him i didn't know what needed to happen for that to never occur but since it was so close to the end of my shift i went home. the next time i showed up for my shift, the @$$#oles didn't even bother to call me and let me kno, they waited until i showed up to tell me that i was fired and they gave me some BS reason.

another time a woman supervisor slapped the back of my head bcos i was kinda dozing off waiting for my headset to beep when a call came thru. i up and walked out of that job.

last job i had in a kitchen, the boss was a jerk, i would just rob that place blind. i kept my fridge well stocked with fresh vegetables and frozen veggies, milk, cereals, instant mashed potatoes, stuff like that. plus i also took a few kitchen implements. i worked there for a year and never once was a raised discussed, i was making 9.25 as a chef. that's below industry entry level pay for that position. the kid who washed the dishes from the cafeteria was making 7.50 and when i told him how much i made he looked at me in disbelief until i showed him my check, at which point it went from disbelief to shock and disbelief. i was eventually fired from that job for some BS reason also but it was something silly that was just the excuse the boss was looking for to fire me. it's ok, because it was the end of the season to be working that job, since it wasn't a year round thing, and i had no plans of returning when the season started back up.

i dunno ur situation, but i hope whatever it is, u handle it with dignity and integrity.

a member of ur family no longer with u. the passing of that life under grisly circumstances. how did u deal with it? just wondering, i don't mean to be morbid.

is the new fried thing at the fair this year. it seems each year they try to fry something more ridiculous than the year past like fried coke. maybe next year it'll be something like fried lard or fried cholesterol. i mean, let's just get right down to it. ya kno? skip all the superfluous junk that you have to eat, taste or swallow in order to get to what you're really after, an artery clogging experience bringing you one heart beat closer to a stroke or heart attack. maybe after someone dies at the fair from eating fried cholesterol the following year they'll offer fried oatmeal, or maybe fried lipitor.

i'm sorry, but it just seems ridiculously and needlessly decadent to fry butter. who eats butter by itself anyway?!? sure i kno there are some people who enjoy licking their knife clean of the butter that remains or something like that, but honestly, who seeks to eat butter by itself. not going for a slice of bread or anything else, just going to the refrigerator specifically for butter. dallas is not overpopulated by skinny people in dire need of consuming fat in that manner. why then would anyone even encourage such an obscene indulgence like this? fried butter. why can't eating healthy be made attractive and encourage more people to come and eat the newest healthy attraction at the fair?

i dunno, i'm done with my rant. i love all my texas people and fellow americans as well. i would like to see everyone living healthy and promoting happiness in the world.

<licking clean a spoon of cake frosting as i finish typing my rant>

;)

hope it works out well for u. good luck. if u need any other suggestions or advice don't think twice to ask me. i'll help as much as i can.
