Thurzdayzzz,Friesday,etc etc etc

Pre Store opening selection:Wor.CD.01 nice dubby style house (maybe) cd compiled by Rob Paine featuring a gang of releases from the Worship Label,mobile dj:nature (dj milo) unscene:live at the cat club 1979,this one had some stuff on it(don't they all) tracks like Funk Reaction,Love Vibration(special mix)Everybody Party,Get Down (re-edit),Boom Bap Project-Nice Northwest hip hop,some of the tracks had an old school flow to em,old school as in Cold Crush brothers..Wale Oyejide-One Day..Everything Changed,definitely some different ish,Greenhouse Effect-Columbus or Bust, Ohio?Backpack stuff feat Manifest & Blueprint. Damn these guys are angry. DJ Vajra-Saul Good. One of those unmentionable M.. CD's,nice blend of the old and obscure hip hop,old breaks,and some more tossed in. Poppa Large remix was nice.

So fearless leader walks in with a huge flashlight, and says, "well at least we wont be in the dark next time we lose power." Of course the flashlight is a rechargeable one, yet he hasn't gotten around to plugging it in to charge up.

Ah yes as I mentioned the other day, one of our browser bins full of LP vinyl broke. (they really weren't designed to hold vinyl, but that's another story) I figured that fearless leader would be fixing it, since he pulled,out the drill and began drilling screws into the piece that broke off. I was wrong, he didn't fix it till Thursday Afternoon,of course that didn't help the guy in the wheelchair who couldn't get to the register because of the shelving unit propped up against the counter on one side of the aisle,and the records from the broken browser bin on the other side. Isn't there a law or something on the books in regards to accessibility...hmmm?

Oh well, one of the good things to come out of the whole browser bin collapse is that we will be having a sale. Buy one piece of vinyl at regular price and get the next one for a penny. Wow what a concept. Of course I'm not sure when the sale is supposed to start. He mentioned something about having his daughters doing the sign for the sale over the weekend. And as usual that didn't happen.

After getting verbally beaten up by Mr. I Hate Mix Cds about not having any idea for a food menu on Friday (because he was doing Jerked Chicken and Roast whole fish to celebrate his father coming to town or something like that ), I did some thinking came up with this weeks Menu. (Sun,Mon) Barbecued Beef Short Ribs,Steamed Green Beans and Grilled potato halves,{Tue Wed} Beef stir fry w green onions,Cous Cous (ran outta rice),and stir fried vegetables,(Thu) Grilled Chicken Leg quarters,Smothered Cabbage,and something else maybe corn. Yeah it looked pretty daunting, but it worked out well, just involved some prep work. Seared the short ribs on the grill then finished them in the oven,there is a way to do the short ribs on the grill,but in involved some extra cutting and I wasn't willing to deal with that,maybe next time. While the ribs were searing,I put the together the rub for the chicken leg quarters using a recipe from last years edition of this book, the rub had cumin,curry powder,allspice,chili powder, cinnamon,and black pepper if I remember correctly,to give the green beans some flavor, I added some minced garlic,pepper,fresh ground nutmeg,and a dry herb mix to the steaming liquid. Prepped the potatoes (russets) by scrubbing them,then slicing them in half, and marinating the halves in an Italian dressing mixture with some minced garlic. For the beef stir fry I used some stew beef(the recipe called for some flank or something else's like that but I used what we had in the freezer),cut the chunks into smaller pieces and marinated them in teriyaki sauce for a few hours.

Random thought
We're Gonna Stack Ya Mac...Reality show where Mac Users get a major upgrade to their computers, hosted by Michelle Le & Tim Dog...Now that would be interesting.

Ok my apologies to the millions..And millions(The Rock,reference) of Heartlesszone fans on the long time in between updates.
