Beefy! Cheesy! Pasta! Easy!

Dinner Tonight.

You guys this is going to be delicious I can already tell.  I grabbed another recipe from the folk (s) over at Genius Kitchen again. 

(Disclaimer: hilarious inferred curse word(s) placed throughout this post)

Here's the link to the recipe I used which will potentially change the way you think of penne pasta forever.

Now, I've gotta be honest with you.  I don't like recipes that take forever.  So naturally, I made a couple of changes, which you can also do.

1) I halfed it.

2) I didn't use an onion.  I was liberal with onion powder and minced onion.

3) I didn't have any minced garlic, so i just dumped the rest (don't worry there was not much) of my garlic salt in that sucker.

4) I didn't let the beefy cheesy mixture simmer for 20 minutes--I cut that s#@t down to 4 minutes tops.

5)  I added a splash of milk.

6)  I added some italian bread crumbs.

7)  I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella since that's what I had.

8)  I also added just a SMIDGE of chilli POWDER since I didn't have the flakes.

9)  I didn't have any green peppers, so I omitted the s#%t outta that.

10) I think that's everything I modified so....disregard this one.

Well there you have it.  Oh wait!  I also added a massive squirteroo of ketchup, a 10.5 ounce can of condensed tomato soup, and no tomato paste, oh and no plum tomatoes...I just used a 10.5 ounce can of italian diced tomatoes undrained.

So all in all the link above really isn't what I am making afterall, but that up there my friends, that is where I got my inspiration.

In conclusion, I think this wins my longest blog post ever award.

til next time,

toodles!

Big to Who?

Perspective.

We all have our own.  But there's one thing I think we can all agree on.

Big Ben in London.

He's not really that big is he?  You may not know better if you haven't BEN there (get it?!?! I said Ben instead of been because I'm talking about big ben.....), but it seems true that Bens size is well, largely (oh I just can't help myself!!!) exaggerated.

Multiple animated films seem to deceive us into believing Ben is just massive.

While we can't exactly call it Little Ben, we can keep the truth in the back of our mind when we see this clock in films such as 101 Dalmatians, The Great Mouse Detective, & Peter Pan, that its just an exaggeration.

It's quite.....puzzling....wouldn't you think?  Speaking of puzzles, check out this sweet puzzle clock.  I think I might know someone who would like this.








Until later,

toodles!

Designer Kate Spade Dead at 55

Hi guys

I just caught wind of fashion designer Kate Spade's passing.  Details are at this link.  It is unfortunate to hear this.  I was a fan of her perfume brand.  Regardless of the official outcome of the investigation, if there is to be one (suicide, really? bedroom door knob? really?), may she rest in peace.

until next time....
