Breakfast + Pizza... 2 of my Favourite Things together can't be Wrong!

So at dinner last night... I mentioned that when J. and I were in Italy, I had pizza with an egg in the middle. Everyone thought it was kinda weird... but I swear Pizza and breakfast all at once can't be a bad thing!!

When we moved out here, one day we tried Jokers Pizza and they had egg pizza too!!!


My AWESOME EGG PIZZA
J's Boring Pizza.. lol

Reasons Why I Love it When J. is Gone

So, Admittedly, I spent last night in tears. Bad day all around, thunder storm, messy house. All I wanted was for J. to come home and give me a hug.
Today, I feel like I could single handedly, conquer the world.

Lol.. such is the life of a military spouse...

But since I am in a Good Mood, here are some of the Great things about being "on my own"

- There are no socks, undies or bits of cadpat paraphernalia on the floor.
- all of the towels are hanging the right way, my way!
- I don't have to shave my armpits, legs, etc.
- I get the whole bed to myself!
- I can eat when I am hungry
- I get to have Star Wars marathons.
- the toilet paper is on the holder, and not on the counter
- the dog actually sits with ME!
- I can read all day long without interruption!
- The laundry doesn't smell like army. I don't know where that smell comes from... but it is ONLY on his uniforms!

Old Kitchen, New Kitchen

I was complaining to myself as I was loading the dishwasher this morning...
then I thought about my old kitchen... Remind me about this if I EVER complain again.

OLD KITCHEN
*note my Nine Inch Nails poster & Pearl Jam Fan Club Holiday records. I used to call it my bitty-baby-rock-n-roll kitchen.

And the Army Fridge.


It should also be noted that the fridge only had one setting and froze all of our food. The oven didn't work and only 2 of 4 elements on the stove did. And yes our Landlords knew about all this. We won't get into that now....

NEW KITCHEN


New designer fridge. We splurged on this.. and it was worth EVERY cent!!

Black Bean, Potato & Broccoli Soup

So I have a lot of potatoes. Like a lot.... So easy... so yummy! I just put all the ingredients in a pot of water and let it sit there for an hour or so. There are no measurements because I just threw what I had in the fridge in....


Celery
Carrots
Onion
Garlic
Broccoli
Potatoes
2 cans black beans

Read this Book : Cosmic Banditos

Cosmic Banditos
A.C. Weisbecker


Synopsis:
This guy and his dog and a snake that likes warm guns are hanging out in South America, drinking, mescal, drugs, a bandito friend robs an American family who has a slutty daughter and a dad who digs quantum physics, more drinking, mescal, drugs + quantum physics + drug raids + Stephen Hawking + low flying planes + plus time travel + more foot notes than a podiatrist + Robert and his never ending supply of grenades + quarks, subatomic particles and AHHHHHH!!!!!

Why you should read this book:
This book came highly recommended to me by a friend. It took me forever to find a copy, since, until recently it has been out of print. But it was worth it... this is the funniest, most clever, wicked book. It has been said that Weisbecker "out gonzos Hunter S. Thompson" and I have to agree. I could not put this book down from the second I started.

And the funny part is, when this book first came out- nobody would buy it. The author actually took all of the copies that he had left from the publisher and shipped them to US Soldiers serving in Iraq asking that they pass the book along when they were done.

Apparently they are making a movie now too... but seriosuly- READ THIS BOOK!

Things that make me Happy #6

Love & Barley.
