Moaaandaay



Wow back from a week away. No didn’t do that. Moms had to go into the hospital so all focus was on that. Was posting more regularly Livejournal.com I’m a bit more focused there, not to vague and rambling.

What else, oh yeah I have been inserting a bit o fiction in between the other things on on each post. Breaking it up a wee bit every now and then.

From previous post:

I can believe that corporate prick hung up on me. Well it looks like its getting worse, better get back inside. Might as well start unpacking and hope this house holds out through the storm. Breep, Breep Breep..hmmm betcha corporate forgot to mention something else. Hello what the f..Miles! where are you we’re at the airport….


Bloody hell, Tricia I was just on the mobile with Johanson from coporate and lost track of…
Miles! Johansom is right here he’s the one who made sure we got through customs and everything. Now where are you?
Well Tricia I have bit of a problem here I have no transport and…. Miles Johanson here-you need to get out to that garage structure and make sure you have your ID badge its in the left pocket of your carry on.
What how did you know ….

Ingredients were as follows some turkey drum sticks,cummin,white pepper,chopped celerey,chopped onions,chopped celery,five garlic cloves smashed,dried peppers(chipoltle),tomatoe paste,chicken broth,flour,kosher salt.So yesterdays menu was Braised Turkey Drumsticks w sliced carrots, mashed potatoes, and garlic steamed broccoli. Tossed in some chipoltle peppers for some extra flavor, love that smokiness. Sista did up a good sized pot of chicken soup.

Miles just get out to that garage,insert your badge into the slot and make use of the equipment inside,we’re waiting for you. They want to close down the airport and they say that this building will not be safe to ride out the storm.
Ok Johanson so much for time away from the day job. I can’t believe this, where there hell is that garage,can barely see my a few meters in front of me with this wind and rain. Ummph! I didn’t even notice this thing on the way in, large as hell.

From Previous post:

Mr Johanson on the other end patiently tells charles to attempt to make it to the concrete garage structure towards the back of the property after the storm moves throgh. Most of his questions will be answered once he gets through the door.


Well gee thanks Johanson I suppose I would do that but theres’s this little problem of high wind gusts and random pieces of debris that may cause me some bodily harm.Why didn’t corporate mention this detail, its almost starting to sound like a working vacation. Next thing your going to tell me that you aint flyingg out my family. Johanson, hello Johanson…bullocks!

Ingredients: beef chuck cut into chunks,8 or 9 cloves of garlic (yeah I like garlic), some celery stalks,carrots ,potatoes,onions,parsnips (oh damn over budget…no parsnips),leftover green onions from yesterdays stir fry,tomatoe paste,organic beef broth,a bit of kosher salt,mesquite grill seasoning,some flour,granulated garlic,a dash o allspice.

I can believe that corporate prick hung up on me. Well it looks like its getting worse, better get back inside. Might as well start unpacking and hope this house holds out through the storm. Breep, Breep Breep..hmmm betcha corporate forgot to mention something else. Hello what the f..Miles! where are you were at the airport….

As the wind whipped through the trees Charles watched heplessly as his custom made doggy igloo was tossed into the nearby marsh. Damn what a way to start a vacation he grumbled…

Take about two or three pounds of sweet (couldn’t find any hot) italian style turkey sausage, about six onions sliced thin,four large red peppers sliced into strips,six to seven maybe eight whole cloves of garlic (smash em a bit to release some flavor),italian seasoning,some flour,granulated garlic,vegetable oil, chicken broth or chicken stock two thin sliced potatoes, and some fresh basil, (both of those items I forgot) and a large casserole dish with a cover,lid or something like that. Now you are ready.

Charles stayed out on the deck and held on to the railing, the nearby trees were offereing some wind shelter but he realized that those weren’t going to last. He went inside to call the main office only to find that the phone lines were dead. He went to plan B and dug into his duffel bag for his satellite phone. Luckily he was able to get that through customs after a lengthy discussion with airport officials. He checked the charge and stepped outside into the storm to make a phone call.

If you haven heard yet Fearless Leader has had is day(s) and court and the outcome is as follows,he was fined $2500 which is payable over five years? And his lawyer fees are $7500..wooo hoo.

After getting the correct signal Charles contacts the home office and screams into the phone. How could you book my vacay to this spot during monsoon season. Bloody hell it looks like the main road is already washed out and I’m watching bits of this rental blow away.

LongWeekend

If you look closely you can see my hands sticking up from within the tree branches.

It’s the end of a long weekend, as went from wetness to windyness to whiteness(snow showers people) to a bone chillin hawk, remember that we have until March 20 for it to end. Well that is the first day of Spring but that hasn’t stopped mother nature from throwing some after season snowballs in the past.

Just stumbled across a dust covered Sister Nancy CD entitled One Two on the Techniques label circa 1999. She has some tune called Bam Bam, I wonder if it’s a Flinstones theme song off shoot. Well I’ll have to crack the shrink wrap to see if its Flinstones tune or not. I’ll let ya know whats up next week. Currently on repeat/alarm clock duty Simply Good Music Volume two.

There’s a Rhode Island affiliate but I was feelin Bostons presentation. Right about now I listening to Ray Keith filling in for DJ Hype on Kiss100.com.

Hmm lets see, a couple of pounds of ground beef, a couple of chopped onions, some elbow macaroni,tomato paste,sauce,italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes,minced garlic,and a bit of salt. Brown your beef and add the seasonings,while ya beef is browning get two pots out one for the sauce and a larger one for the pasta. Sautee the onions in the sauce pot and fill the pasta pot with water accoring to the amount listed on the side of the box. Once your onions are almost carmelized add the sauce and tomato paste,stir well and check ya beef.


While perusing the many channels being offered on cable I decided to make an attempt to re immerse myself in my culture figured I would peep whats on BET especially after reading this article from the times,then this article from Amercan Thinker and this article by way of [The Bible Of Hip Hop Blog]. But then I realised that really wouldn’t get that much culture, I would get entertainment. That’s what their title says,it doesn’t say education,enlightenment,or engrossing, it says entertainment and that’s what you’re going to get. At one time they might have been right on target if there ever was a target but not now. Maybe they’re going with where the money is.

Take a deep breath ,smell that. Well of course you can’t but if you was in my house today, yall would’ve caught the aroma of of some beef ribs covered w a st louis style of dry rub seasoning slowly cooking in the oven. Have to go through all of that all in one seasoning stuff so I can start making it fresh and without the salt. Finishing off the ribs with some.......bbq sauce. Earlier this week (Sunday) did a Chicken stew w carrots,celery,onion,some ,corn,lima beeans,green beans,peas,red peppers,a bit of pasta shells,and various seasonings,like minced garlic,a lil bit of cummin,pepper,some Mrs dash etc… I know i should've dumped in some of the leftover black eyed peas but completely zoned out for a bit.

Hmmm the first post of the New year. Biiiig F>>> deal. Currently checkin out a stream by none other than Shy FX. From his digital soundboy website. Yeah it was done in November but it still has quite a few Wicked tunes. He started things off with some ragga style jungle dubplates then moved into some jump up style! Oh wait I was supposed to start mentioning more hip hop orientated suff. Ummmmm yeah riiiiight. Maybe I’ll start a little thing of CD’s that deserved to be run over by an Acela Train.

So the menu for his past Sunday was indeed pigs feet,black eyed peas,roast leg of lamb w roasted potatoes and onions. Was going to do the whole root veggy thing but the budget wasn’t there. Maybe next time around. Also did up some spinach. To prep the leg of lamb I took a long piece of rope and tied to one end of the lamb,then stepped out side in the parking lot and proceeded to swing the lamb overhead while my niece blasted an airhorn at 4 minute intervals

So today we’re currently in the middle of a Noreaster, and this is a pretty weak one at that. We’re getting rain mixed with snow with makes for a fun removal experience. Almost makes me want to invest in a Wovel. Looks like a fun type of gadget to have. Just imagine wheeling one of those out to clear ya driveway ,sidewalk, mountain pass.

If you look at the above picture closely you might actually be able to see me holding up a protest sign.

Hmmm whats this?
While straightening out a few of the electrical cords, I stumbled across a cd. It features Sizzla, Chrisinti,Turbulence,Abijah,Chezidek, and Natural Black,plus a few others. Had to pop it in to get my monthly dose of reggae. Reggae Now Vol. 3 is the title of this particular collection of tunes on Bogaluusa records. And because that wasn’t enough, I dug into one of the piles of doom and found another dose of reggae. This one featured King Tubby,Prince Jammy, Big Youth, The Congos,Jackie Mitto and a few others. This collection highlighted one particular label out of the UK. Put together by the label founder the CD by the name of Run It Red has 20 tracks of quality tunes from the Blood and Fire Label.

Pre-heat ya oven to 425 or so,take a good sized potatoe,scrub it clean. Grab your mandolin slicer and julienne the potatoe,rinse and let drain in a strainer.take a half of an onion and julienne that also,set that aside. Grab a small pan and spray w some non stick spray, then heat it up on a medium high flame,Add some vegetable oil, once the oil is hot enough add the potatoes, season with kosher salt and pepper. Let the potaoes brown for a bit,add the onions and mix em well with potatoes,let em brown for a bit, while they are browning grab a couple of eggs, some milk or cream. Mix the egg and milk or cream mixture in a bowl with a whisk or fork, pour on top of the potatoe onion mixture. Using a spoon or spatula ,pull the eggs away from the edges,you don’t wanna scramble,you just want to see those curds or whatever start forming. Once the mixture starts firm a bit place it in the oven for….damn I forgot to time it oh well, just watch it rise …..

Contrary to popular belief I was not in bolivia last week even though i may or may not be in the picture above.

Currently bobbin the dome to a a nice lil cd entitled Soul Heaven Presents Jazzy Jeff In the House. Nice collection of tunes. Like the fact that he started off the cd with some Temptations.

Yeah took lil step away from the posting thing thing for a number of reasons. One was I put in some extra hours at my weekend spot last week. Thurs & Fri, its was interesting to say the least running the board for the talent while they were at a local mall broadcasting live.

One more holiday to go. Yesterdays menu wasn’t as large as turkey day. We had a small roast turkey (got to use the fun thermometer), spiral sliced spiced ham (booo swine) mac and cheese, stuffing, greens (collards,kale,turnip),stuffing, and sweet potatoes w some apples mixed in. Desert was pies and a homemade poundcake that the niece did w a lil help from her moms. She also did up some sugar cookies earlier in the week. New Years day menu is still up in the air. We usually have pigs feet w black eyed peas. Well they do I stopped eating swine a long time ago about the same time I picked up the koraan…I’m kidding about picking up the book . Hmm if not pigs feet maybe a herb roasted leg of lamb w roasted root vegetables.,maybe served over cous cous, with some spicy gravy. Hmmmmmm

Much thanks to____ over at_____ ______ in Brooklyn for the check in the other day. It’s a good thing that you didn’t have to go far to get to work during that short ass strike. Not sure if I can post his name, maybe I‘ll do it when I get around to the whole do I really miss it post about the store.

Well the Lamb Chops with the roasted fennel & pablano peppers didn’t happen. Have you seen the prices of peppers? Damn! Had to settle for some smothered cube steaks served over egg noodles. Still trying to figure out the holiday menu. I know sista has requested spiral ham…oh joy swine. Still working on the other meat item. Thank the spirits that meal wont be a huge affair (food wise) like turkey day. According to the preliminary shopping list we may have mac & cheese,greens,and something elese. Im leaning more towards hamburgers with sauteed oinions and mushrooms but that wouldn't be appreciated for a holiday meal. Oh well.

Cold enough for ya? Try walking in it. Hopefully by the time this gets posted the cold will have given way to some thing else.

Increase the flavor

Did a small batch of Jerked chicken thighs, and sistats missed out, plus the nephew didn’t think it was spicy enough. So….

Take some boneless chicken breasts and rinse well in cold water then pat dry. Grab a sharp chefs knife or a good santoku knife and slice into breast at a slant,try not to cut allk they way through. Places partially sliced breast into a ziploc plastic bag,take out your handy dandy jar of graace jerk seasoning/paste add a few (a heavy few) teaspoons to ya zip lock bag, and also a few teaspoons of allspice. And if yo have em some freshlly chopped green onions. Force all the air out of the bag then seal it. Knead rub manipulate the bag well until the chicken is well coated. Place in the refrig and let marinate over night. Now you are ready.

Been lookin at this particular CD for a bit, finally popped it in.


Todays musical selection is a dub cd entitled 7x7 Lee Scratch Perry Vs King Tubby In Dub. Good tunes on this one, evenly split between King Tubby and The Upsetters.

Well looks like we missed a substantial snowfall. Bummer. Don’t worry though,winter hasn’t officially started yet, so we have weeks of weather fun to look forward to. I think the worse sign of things to come was this past weekend when I was at the weekend spot loading production, monitoring the station and heard that-Its Beginning To Look Like Xmas Tune,then I looked out the window and noticed the snow coming down. Sheesh

Its always great to watch the local weather forecasters hem and haw over the precipatation. They never really give you an accurate amount. I guess they’re still suffering from the "78" nightmare.

Hmmm I think I used a bit to much tomato paste…
Well Sundays Menu was off set a bit, didn’t do the roasted potatoes,they were used earlier in the day for home fries, and didn’t get to the cabbage.

Here we go take your chicken thighs and rinse well. Or do the brine thing. Well since we aint grillin today it will be a brief brining with a little bit of kosher salt & sugar. While the chicken thighs are brining…just 10 to 15 mins grab the rest of your ingredients. Minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, freshly minced ginger,white pepper,and some Mrs Dash seasoning. Now you are ready. Hmmm maybe I’ll reserve a few of those chicken thighs and marinate em in some jerk paste. And looks like that cabbage will be put to good use also. Just need some onions,chicken stock,paprika,and....

Yeah it says midweek-it was supposed to go up yesterday but I went to Valdez Alaska for a day to celebrate another year of life for me on the planet so it’s a bit late.

Currently listening to a rebroadcast stream of Fabio on BBC’s Radio 1 Urban . Had a singer up there by the name of Jennna G She was hyping up her new release I think, unfotunately her voice kind of gave out so she couldn’t really get down but promised to come correct next time around.

Well looks like the cold weather is startin to trickle in. I know we got a tease during the holiday weekend. Actually had to bust out the South Pole bomber (do they still call em that) winter jacket. Didn’t get to the face mask hawk yet. Cant wait for that.

Take a couple of onions (wow I always start off with onions) I need to change it up. Chop em up fine and set aside. Grab a knob of ginger from the freezer (yeah I said freezer) it makes em easier to grate. Grate a few tablespoons worth, also grab a few tablespoons of minced garlic, some vegetable oil, a teaspon of crushed red pepper flakes, some shredded carrots,sliced shitaki mushrooms, snow peas,some vegetable broth,and some vegetarian stir fry sauce. Now you are ready.

Damn I wish I had all of those ingredients in the house, it was sounding pretty yummy. Oh well.

Go faster,faster,faster!




Currently listening to a stream of DJ Grooverider with wow I forgot who the mc was. Well you can check it out right here hopefully you have broadband. Link is from [Liquid Funk TV]. Once I finish with that I’ll pop in a casette yeah cassette. And it’s entitled La Casa De Musica put together By DJ Venom and Dek One. Good collection of Latin House! Muy bueno,excelente.


What do you think? Here’s another commentary about the new dress code in the enba


Very intersting [Village Voice] article about the sauce magazine.

Sooner or later you will be able to avoid those lines all together. With the advent of wireless technology you’ll be able to checkout anywhere. As mentioned in this article the line busting technique has been in partial use for some time at Sams. The associate would scan your membership card with a portable scanner,then scan your merchandise while you wait in line. The associate gives you your total and you pay when you reach the cashier. More than likely they’ll move on to the next level as mentioned in the article.


And ladies and gentlemen boys and girls its peanut butter jelly time.

Enjoy...

End of the week greatness, did yall enjoy ya Turkey Day. Ours was ok, I posted on that elsewhere. Currently listening to: The African Brothers Meet King Tubby In Dub.You can preview some of the tunes here.Yeah some niceness there. I'm always fiendin for some dub reggae. King Tubby,Augustus Pablo,Mad Professor. And others.

Well yesterday was Black Friday. Did yall make it out there to catch all those bargains? Did yall camp out early and fight those crowds. Were you one of those folks who started the near riot at Wallys? Why is it always at wallys? Sheesh.

No I didn’t take advantage of that madness. Was at the weekend spot running the board for five hours for the talent that was doing a live broadcast at the local mall. Yay five hours straight of xmas music. Man my mind wz destroyed,that’s why the post is going up today and not yesterday. Well at least I made a bit more loot for the next paycheck.

Turkey day was okay, had to break out a new gadget to assist in the roasting of the turkey. Pops asked if I had a thermometer,because there wasn’t a pop up in the turkey. Luckily I did have a digital quick read thermometer,but it wasn’t made to stay in the oven so I had to break out the other thermometer. Yeah this one was much more suited for the task. Plus it has a timer, alarm and magnets. I do believe I saw Alton Brown of Good Eats using this type of thermometer.

The title of todays post was a reference to a cartoon show and an upcoming movie according to [IMDB] the person that is cast as Skeletor is also the same person who played Lexs father in Smallville. But I remember the dude from a role he played earlier, as the devil in a tv show. He mentioned a line like the "Eyes are the window to ones soul" you must shoot their eyes to send them back to me…. Plus the movie is supposedly being directed by John Woo which may add a nice punch.

Right about now I’m checking out the latest DJ Hype set from [Kiss 100], he mentioned that he’ll be guesting in DJ Brockie pretty soon. In other words he’ll be there as a special guest. Currently rockin the Ganjaman cut from Hazard I do believe.
