6:35 AM >> Skinny and the ladies #2

Skinny's Angels




At a moment's notice, Skinny's Angels will appear or disappear at his snap of his magical finger. One might ask, "Hey, man have you seen the angels?" or "Man, have you talked with the angels?" No. No one has. It's as though they are in his imagination or is it a lie! Huh. Is it a lie? Are they real?

NO! It's real. As you can see here are they are - Skinny and his Angels.

6:30 PM >> Skinny and the ladies #1


I tell you what. You've just gotta love my Grandpa Skinny. He loves to travel. He's always meeting ladies on his journeys. Here he is tooling along with the Lasses of Leisure on a beach in coastal Indiana. They're a group from a local Catholic church organization who go on trips. They sure don't dress appropriately. I guess their tour organizer didn't bother to tell them they'd be making a stop on the beach that day.

Isn't it funny how Skinny just got right up in front. He totally nearly block Agnus from being in the shot at all. I mean how's she going to send this to her family members when there's Skinny blocking her from the camera. Oh, grandpa.

2:48 PM >> Eric with a C

Meet Eric. He's my new plant. I'm not sure what kind. Recently I had a plant die on me. Hopefully Eric will last longer. He spells his name with a C not a K. Eric's leaves are already feeling a little flimsy. But I am sure it's just a stage. If anyone knows what kind of plant this is let me know so I can research optimal conditions and watering tips.

In other news. I have a new cell phone with a lamb skin casing. Funny that the skin of a lamb was sacrificed to cover my cell phone. It was accompanied with one of those hip joint attachments. I used it on the walk from my truck up to my apartment. I liked it. I never thought I'd be one of those people who uses those things. But people change.

Also got a portable XM device--the Pioneer inno. So far I love this thing. It too came with a leather pouch. What leather skinned animal was sacrificed I don't know.

8:31 PM >> Two-Way Open-Faced Tuna Avacumber 'Mole

Two perfectly ripened avacados and half of a cucumber (peeled and diced) blended with sea salt, pepper, chipotle Tabasco, juice of half of a lime, and a splash of Ocean Spray Orange Citrus Spray. Meanwhile in the skillet red onion, grape tomatoes, and garlic where sauteed with olive oil and a little butter. Then two cans of tuna where added. All seasoned over the heat with red and black pepper, cayenne pepper, and squirts of lime. The two creations where mixed together and served open face on and toasted on two pieces of bread. 1) with feta cheese added, and 2) mit out any cheese.

8:27 AM >> Oil candles and bev naps



When inspiration strikes there are two things one must have with in reach. 1) A favorite pen. 2) A bev nap. Want to know about candles? Interested in facial hair? You attracted to the round face?

9:53 PM >> Pork lasagna

Ken's Jerk Rub Pork Off-White Lasagna




Ken's Jerk Rub Pork roasted then seared with garlic, olive oil, and a number of splashes of red wine vinegar. Combined with a mixture of cream of mushroom and spices in the nature of black pepper, crushed red pepper, basil, and thyme. Layered on lasagna noodles along with a cheese mixture of feta and goat gouda imported from Holland from the bestest of best goats that the Dutch have to offer. The result was an enormously spot on mix of the salty, the sweet, and the spicy.

What the hell is the story behind Ken's Jerk Rub?

My dad, the Ken of Ken's Jerk Rub, took a jerk pork recipe from a computer program that he secretly modified by changing the title of the recipe to read 'chicken' to trick my mom so she would let him cook it. He forgot however to change the ingredients of the recipe so my mom was totally on to him. I've modified Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken once by turning it into Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken The Turkey and then now by making Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken The Pork The Lasagna. Many variations are possible. Jerk rub is awesome.

10:11 PM >> A Saturday Afternoon

Another inspiring passage of what it is to experience moment to moment from Henry Miller's Black Spring:

I am delirious because I am dying. I am dying so fast. Every second counts. I do not hear the second that has just ticked off--I am clinging like a madman to this second which has not yet announced itself.....What is better than reading Vergil? This! This expanding moment which has not defined itself in ticks or beats, this eternal moment which destroys all values, degrees, differences. This gushing upward and outward from a hidden source. No truths to utter, no wisdom that can be imparted. A gush and a babble, a speaking to all men at once, everywhere, and in all languages...The expanding moment that is heard forever....Talking to all men at once. A gush and a babble. This is the moment when I raise the glass to my lips, observing as I do so the fly that has settled on my pinkie; and the fly is as important to this moment as my hand or the glass it holds or the beer that is in the glass or the thoughts that are born of the beer and die with the beer.

Here's a picture for you to enjoy with this. My Aunt took it in Ireland.

9:50 PM >> The Fourteenth Ward

Henry Miller's "The Fourteenth Ward" from Black Spring

Accidentally I re-stumbled upon this book while reading an interview with Bob Redford in the New Yorker. He nodded to Miller's essay in regards to a fascination that he had with New York in his younger years.

The essay begins: "I am a patriot--of the Fourteenth Ward, Brooklyn, where I was raised...I was born in the street and raised in the street...To be born in the street means to wander all your life, to be free..."

And then it continues: "Before the great change...The great fragmentation of maturity. The great change. In youth we were whole and the terror and pain of the world penetrated us through and through."

14th Ward tells of the play and imagination that we experienced as children viewing the world. How perception of the world was before we became the adults we are today. If we lose sight of the reality of the world there is the chance that the memories of our past and how we lived and experienced life as children might be forever lost. But fortunately "...one day, as if suddenly the flesh came undone and the blood beneath the flesh has coalesced with the air, suddenly the whole world roars again the the very skeleton of the body melts like wax."

Don't ever forget what it means to be a kid. Don't ever forget the inspired play that we experienced moment to moment as kids. Deny that you're over 30 now and have crossed over and had the big change. Remember life as a kid.

All aboard. This is my new space ship. Zero gravity. Space. Crazy organisms. Flowers. Liftoff. Rocketship. Candlelit. Sword holding. Jeans and shorts wearing. Camping chair sitting. Sword wielding.

12:47 AM >> Fish tacos and leftover jerk turk

A Moe's Burrito in every hand. That's what I say. And that's what their new advertising campaign stresses. And for those of you like me who are fish taco lovers. Everyone gets what they want at moes.

I had two of their fish tacos on Wednesday. I was pretty happy with them. They're a whitefish, lightly fried and of course you pick what you want on the taco. My two had lettuce, picante, chopped japs (much better than the sliced ones they serve, black olives, and cheese). On the side I had a cup of black beans that I loaded up with stuff that fell out of the taco and a various assortment of the salsas from their sals bar. And a water.

Next time I am going to mix it up and do something like -- taco #1: cucumber, diced japs, guac, and lettuce; and taco #2: blackie olives, cheese, and sauteed onion and peppers. The point is to keep it simple so that I really taste the flavors that I pick.

As far as I know Moe's is the first national fast-foody mex place to do the fishie tacos. And they did a good enough job. Compared to getting fish tacos at a gourmet to normal mexican restaurant I give Moe's' a 5.34 rating out of tem. Not bad.

And for the patient lot of you below is the write up I did for my personal log of meals. It's for the long awaited Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken The Turkey The Sandwich. (It's as follows.)

Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken The Turkey served up on toasted bread with just a smear of Bronco Bob's Tangy Apricot Chipotle Sauce to each side.

9:57 PM >> Tupperware and Tupperbeer



Tupperware in the morning. Tupperware drying. Because t-ware just never dry in the dish washer. Even running a second dry cycle - No dry! The reason is the ability of the plastic at retaining heat. Take a glass for example. They usually always get dry. Because they retain heat well and in a sense self-dry when the cycle stops. Tupperware just gets cold to quick and misses the self-dry step. This is all just a theory of mine. But I think it's sound. After running the d-washer I always have to set my tupperware out on the counter like this to air dry. It works. And it some times makes a neat sculpturey looking piece in the kitchen. And remember don't forget to burp your ware before putting in the fridge.

Here's a tip on cleaning tupperware that I ran across.

Tuppers' Hop Pocket Brewing Company. It sounds like tupperware. And Jimmy Buffett sings about it in his song Miss You So Badly. Actually he doesn't. After researching I see that it's Tuborg beer. So now there's two new beers to try.

10:47 PM >> Ken's Jerk Rub Pork The Chicken The Turkey



Ken's Jerk Rub Grilled Chicken that was initially a jerk pork recipe from a computer program that my dad secretly modified by changing the title to trick my mom so she would let him cook it. In turn I modified it by changing it once again and jerking turkey instead of chicken instead of pork.



Two turkey thighs were marinated in olive oil, white wine vinegar, and Tropicana Sugar Free OrangeAde, along with Kroger Southwest Grill Time Marinade. Then Ken's Jerk Rub mixture was applied and broiled in the oven. Served with leftover Super Sweet Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions that were occasionally dipped into the jerk remnants all over my plate. And the perfect salad compliment was spinach, tomatoes, and diced cucumbers with Zesty French dressing.
