i got made fun of by a girl i used to like for my grocery shopping decisions.

it was pretty humiliating. i had some mac and cheese, loaf of bread, bologna, some ground beef, assorted canned soups, and some cheap steaks. for my part, since i don't do much grocery shopping, i was pretty stoked on the deals i had found, and i got all my shit for under $25 bones. i stopped being stoked when this girl i knew, and liked, (and blew my chances with a few years ago) looked down in my basket and started laughing at my stuff. its pretty tough to play that off, and i'm not quick or cool enough to side step that. i did, however, snag a ride home from the grocery store with her and got a few laughs out of her. after i got home i looked at what i had and said to myself "fuck it" and made biscuits, steak and eggs. and washed it down with oj.

grief stroganoff

so, when i'm broke (which seems to be frequent these days) i need to be creative with the food i eat. i gotta make my dollar stretch like its elastic. the other night i whipped up a serious meal of rice, sage breakfast sausage, chicken tenders, and cream of mushroom soup. it was pretty tasty. tonight though, i had some ground beef and ramen, and i thought to myself, hey this might taste ok with some more cream of shroom.
i cooked the ramen, browned the beef, and mixed in the shroom soup, and well, came up with the title of this post. it isn't the best thing i've ever eaten, but it isn't the worst.

I.E.M. is a kuh..kunt...kkuh...a kuh kunt...

a continual source of inspiration. andy posted the companion videos for his latest piece on tortas and it again prompted me to go grab another torta. instead of making my way over to chungas, as i was inclined to do, i decided to try out taqueria vaquero. "where the hell is that?" you might be asking. it is in the same little strip mall place as laser assault across from the rc willey outlet on 1st west in provo. very nondescript place, but holy jeebus. i got a carnitas torta and like 6 bites in i got the itis. this may be the first time i got the itis from mexican food. usually it's brought on by ribs. i'm hoping mud butt is not a result of this round of the itis. any way, i'd really like to talk about inhuman eating machine some more. after seeing the clips of the session it made me realize what a pussy i really am. if i had tried to eat another bite of another torta i probably would have gone into a coma. even at the time of this writing, probably an hour after my ONE torta i'm feeling pretty sluggish and can't speak in complete sentences. andy is a god among men. like the videos coupled with the blog is like the goddam videodrome of gluttony.

grocery shopping

more often than not, i do not buy groceries. bad habit. at the time of my last paycheck, however, i decided i needed to be a bit more frugal with my $$ because i got too many things to pay for and not enough $$ to pay it with and i realized i spend all my $$ on foodz and recordz. so me and newlin went grocery shopping and i bought all kindsa great stuff:
velveeta
chips
frozed pizzas
rotel
loaf of bread
bell peppers
andioulle
rice
milk
b-fast sausage
cans of beans
cans of tomatoes
and more stuff
the idea was to be a little more domestic. i figured since i'm not in school this semester i can afford to waste time cooking all day. and listening to records. (i'm pretty proud of myself, i've only purchased one record since i've gotten paid: scat rag boosters st/lp)

since that shopping trip i've made:
brazillian fish stew
jambalaya
turnip greens/white beans/cornbread
a few sandwiches
handfulls of chips
ned drool

i kinda like doing this for a few reasons:
dishes are in heavier rotation
dishes get cleaned with more frequency
i'm saving a shit ton of dough

it doesn't mean i haven't gone out and bought food. erin is still my food partner in crime and so we still go grab stuff from time to time:
chungas torta
mahi mahi at mcgraths (splurge)

even still, i think i'm saving money.

singapore noodles

so, i was at rice king the other night with jesse and charley, after neighborhood zero practice, and charley ordered a dish called Singapore noodles, which she, apparently, always orders. i had never even seen it on the menu. she let me try them. i was hooked. imagine a sweeter type of curry (i think i tasted some egg and some cinnamon...). and the noodles are about the size of angelhair pasta. shredded snow peas, chicken, shrimp, maybe some beef? carrots? i can't remember everything that was in it, but i love it now. it isn't too heavy like a lot of their other stuff, but still pretty filling. i totally recommend this. it gets my fat ass seal of approval. just kidding, i don't have a fat ass. or do i...
