Myth Busting

Friday: Jenn and I had the world's largest cheese sticks ever. HUGE. No surprise we were in cheeseland.
Saturday: Went to a few local libertyville establishments. Had some good food at Denny's.
Sunday Funday Bearswinday: Went to Duff's to watch the Bears game. Myth busters was brought up and the whole drinking of a gallon of milk in an hour w/o puking. Duff took the challenge. Greg went to the convenience store and picked up a gallong of 1% milk. He drank the gallon within the hour. And never puked. Next week. 50 hardboiled eggs.

Boo Bash 2005

Once again boo bash was a successfully good time.

There were plenty of good costumes there but my favorite individual costume would be Joe as Magnum P.I.....the hat, the real 'stache, the shirt, and the ferrari.

Favorite group costume....all i can say is OHHHH SNAP.

My City Is Better Than Your City

Jenn and I spent Saturday morning and afternoon in the lovely city of Chicago. We made it to the city around 1045 for a reading of HG Wells "War of the Worlds" at the planterium in the star dome room. It was pretty cool. It had been awhile since i've heard/read it. Jenn got all sorts of scared at the guy, sitting behind us, because of his freaky laughing. We then got to the Marriot and dropped off our stuff. Went for some burgers at Blackies and then headed for the longest walk to Millenium Park. We totally walked the wrong way for quite a while. Made it to Millenium Park and hung out on the lawn of the amplitheater, checked out the bean, and hung out by the faces (the fountains were'nt on). Then we napped and got ready for BOO BASH.

Spook Walk 2005

Booo!! My nieces and nephews wanted to create a little spook walk at my parents house. So Jenn and I went to my parents for some dinner and spooky walkiness. The kids hid behind trees and sprayed silly string at the adults as they walked through forested part of my parents place. We then had a little fire in the back yard and told scary stories...actually not too scary stories b/c my Isabella made them all have these pleasant endings. By the end of the evening my nieces and nephews were all sorts of crazy from sugar (ice cream, halloween candy, smores and more).

Mmmm.....More food.

Saturday night we went to The Puerto Rican Restaurant of Filling Your Stomach With Mass Quantaties of Food. Crap it was good. Platanos sandwich, Catfish, Potato Balls, Empanadas, Pork Chops, Rice, Sweet Platanos and i'm sure i'm missing something else too. Highly recommended.

One Tequila, Two Tequila, fuck about 10 more

Drove up to Miltown last night to see Jenn b/c I had no school today for Italian Day (Columbus Day). I brought over a bottle of tequila. We damn near finished the thing. We both got really drunk. Ouchy my head hurt this morning.

Shitty Situation

Friday night I went to the bathroom to deposit a Mr. Hankey. When it was flushy flush time my toilet filled up and spilled over. Then i went into my laundry room, after the trying to plunge the toilet for awhile, and i noticed that sewage was backing up in the laundry room out of the little drainage/sewer hole thingy. Ended up having a clog in the sewage pipe and it finally backed up enough to spill out. Fucking nasty. I had to hire a rotorooter guy to come out on monday. Talk about a shitty job.

The making of a dinner at 103 S. Archer

As all good dinners....
Start with a wine of your choice. I always prefer red wines. Choose a good glass to drink it from. Time to start cooking.

Making of Chicken to use Bacon in your Taco...Frantonius Special

To start the meal off you have to simmer some black beans (in hindsight it is much much easier just to buy canned black beans thant to simmer your own beans but oh well). The simmering of black beans takes about an hour, wiat until they are very tender. Chop up a clove of garlic, some tomatoes, and some onions.

Choppin' Onnionnnnssss

Now to flavor the beans...Take some onions and chop those fools up. Take about four or five strips of bacon and fry those fools in the same pan. Those two ingredients will soon be used to flavor the beans. The bacon fat and onion juice make for a frantastic flava.

Bacon is better than no bacon..

Once the beans have been simmered and have become tender (about one hour) put them in the bacon and onion grease. Mash those suckas up into a paste. Now chop the bacon into quarter to half inch sections. Combine the bacon and bean mixture into the pan. Mother fucking gooooooood tastin' beans.

Fun with Chicken.

Now take a big ass pan and fill with some good olive oil. Put in some chicken cut in chunks. Spice according to taste. I used tabasco, cheyenne pepper, and dried pepper seeds. Cook until cooked. Add enchilada sauce simmer to add flavor.

The final fixings to be added

Now it is time to make the creation. Take tortillas, put black bean mixture on bottom, fill with chicken, put onion, garlic, tomato mix on top and sprinkle with cheese.

Finally, food to be eaten, wine to be drinken, and baseball to be watchen. Life is good.

What A Wookie!!!

I always knew Chewbacca hung out with that asshole Han Solo for a reason. He was trying to get closer to Leia. Tittybomb!

Bratvursts and L-train

I cooked a bunch of brats at my parent's Oktoberfest. There was another bbq that had a full amount of brats to be turned over too.

These Pictures Are Brought To You By Bocce.

I love Bocce. Here are some pictures from the first installment of the Bocce Club at Stevenson. Soon we'll be playing indoors at an actual bocce court. I think we need to make bocce jackets. The rest of the pics are of my nephew, Lorenzo, future Bocce stud, and some pics of my dad's bocce courts. He mowed the grass really low to make a runway of sorts.
