dirty butt

we had a group of my friends from l. school over for dinner a couple of weeks ago and did some heavy cleaning in our apartment in preparation. part of that prep included a deep sweep of our bathroom: floors, sink area, toilet, tub. i also burned a scented candle during the night because i like fire and because i like how it smells.

later on that night, after general merriment and good cheer had been made, i went to use the restroom myself. i noticed that the toilet seat did not look right. it was dirty, like someone had taken their soot-covered hands and rubbed the seat real good. of course, i made another, much more logical conclusion - someone at the party had a dirty butt.

i deduced some culprits based on timing and narrowed it down to two individuals. my small sense of decency kept me from asking them outright, but i have to say i was fairly confident in my candidates. i watch "Monk;" trust me, i know.

tonight i had the unpleasant task of cleaning my dutch oven. (on a slightly unrelated note, i have a love hate relationship with my dutch oven. it turns out cast iron is not the friend i thought he would be and i plan to soon sell-out and do something yuppie that i am NOT proud of.) it left a strange seafood smell in the air and i decided to bust out my scented candle, of christmas party fame.

j went to the bathroom to take out the trash and told me, "hey the toilet seat is DIRTY." and i used my "Monk" skills and again and realized, hey my friend doesn't have a dirty butt, it's my candle! so i looked it up and apparently it's just candle residue. whoops.

so, sorry two friends who i thought might have dirty butt.

XOXO,
allison

Bringing LeBron to the Bay

I'm not really that into basketball, or any sports for that matter. I have a few phrases that I obnoxiously insert into sports conversations just so I can feel involved with the conversation. Back in high school, I had random comments about Final Fantasy X that I like to think impressed boys: "wasn't the underwater soccer so cool?" Same goes for March Madness - "I love how unpredictable college basketball is - you can never really tell who's going to win." Don't judge me, I had a small life. Anyways, these have been the comments I've been carrying as of late: "the Lakers don't have a very deep bench." "Rondo needs to make more 3's." "Man, too bad Bynum's injured." Two guys at work were talking about last night's game, talking about who knows what, and then they somehow got into talk about LeBron. I know LeBron from the cute puppet commercials he does with Kobe, and his pink lemonade bubblicious gum. H...

dukbukki...but not

Hi All! (all...four of you haha) I am always on the lookout for a good soba noodle recipe - one of my favorite lazy meals is to chop up some assorted vegetables (zucchini, carrots, onions, bell peppers, etc etc) and to stirfry it with soba noodles in some sort of teriyaki sauce, and it's good for like, three days! Anyways, I found this recipe on smittenkitchen: spicy soba noodles with shiitakes. http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/08/so-good-soba/ I was feeling extremely frugal and didn't want to spring the three bucks to buy chili paste and decided to make do with the lee kum kee garlic chili sauce that I had at home. photo credit: smitten kitchen *my noodles did NOT look like this haha basically, i overcooked the cabbage, didn't have sesame seeds, and for some reason it was very very soupy at the bottom, which I'm not sure is supposed to happen, but because the picture above feels distinctly arid, I think i messed up there too. I also think that not having the correct chi...

no soda makes allison crazie

i was walking home from safeway today with half a donut in my hand and half in my mouth when i realized that i have been eating a lot of junk lately. soda, chips, candy, all the usual vending machine delights. not to mention all the milk tea i've been indulging in. i am disgusting. i blame the maritime journal office. we have a small snack table that sells snack size doritos and cheetoes for 25 cents and canned soda for 50 cents. i have been assured that these are near to at cost prices. because it's just downstairs from my locker, i have no problem with going down there before i eat my lunch and grabbing a soda to go along with my meal, or grabbing a bag of chips as a midday snack. it's just too easy. milk tea is delicious, no doubt. if demanded of me, i would readily live off of shelled peanuts, string cheese, and peanuts. and the occasional orange to ward off scurvy. so even though i have to walk a little ways to get to quickly's and get a nice milk tea, i will do it...
