BEAUTY DISTORTION -must see!

Good old fashioned breaking up methods are soooo yesterday!



Do you remember when you started dating someone, you thought for the millionth time that you hit the jackpot, but the moment the cocoon phase ended, reality set in and..with all its ugly colours manifested itself in a way that it didn't really meet your expectations?
And now you stand there, across that person you were so sure was exceptional, not knowing how to..jump on the next train without hurting the persons feelings? God that is awful. Really, its more awful to me because I have been in that unglamorous situation - the not so exceptional girl (or maybe the guy was just a damn asshole, which he was, but thats another story..).

ANYHOW!

Now when you find yourself in this uncomfortable situation where you don't know exactly what to say to the person because you dont want to hurt their feelings, what do you do? Pay for a company to break up with the guy/girl for you! Yes, that is true. The other day i read about this company that does the dirty work for you. For 20 euros not only do you get rid of the burden but, GET STAMPED WITH AN "ASSHOLE POST-IT" on your forehead (!) - very Mr Burger lame post-it break up methods with Carry in SATC. What is wrong with the world!!!!

Ugh! I can't believe such company exists - and that people actually pay for them to break up for you - what a humiliating situation .

Looking back, I'm happy that I never got such a phone call nor a visit, and instead got a good old fashioned humiliating kick on my ass from this one asshole who dumped me the very old fashioned way. I will never complain again..hahaha!!

God forbid I ever have to waste 20 euros in order to break up with an "exceptional" person.


ps exceptional - surpassing what is common or usual or expected; "he paid especial attention to her"; "exceptional kindness"; "a matter of particular and unusual importance"; "a special occasion"; "a special reason to confide in her"; "what's so special about the year 2000?" ds

Over and out!

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
























I have been wanting to post on this very subject for a while, but now I have gotten around to do it, for your amusement!

As I am an Oprah fanatic fan, on one of her shows a few months ago, she interviewed Rachel Ray, who hosts on the Food Network "30 minute Meals" where she cooks good quality, home-cooked meals which can be prepared in matter of 30minutes tops. Pretty clever!

On Oprah, she introduced us to the by far most interesting dish named "You Won't Be Single Long vodka cream pasta".
The origin of this recipe? According to Rachel, she received many letters fro m fans requesting a recipe which could help them hook up with the fellas! And that is how it came upon. Fact is, it works! Quoting Rachael - "Some are even getting married or have gotten married. So it works!" So for all of you single hopefulls, here is the recipe. I am curious myself, I will prepare it and see if I can get my boyfriend to fall in love with me again - haha!. I may even try it with some of my female friends who are in the verge of hooking up with fellas, so its high times for that, i must say!

Pasta& vodka = hook up? ..makes sense to me. Here is why:

* Guys love food, and pasta is full of carbs which makes their stomachs happy --> they get drunk of the vodka in the pasta --> our men become drunk followed by a full and satusfied stomach -->(which leads to the final result) - happy, and willing guy, ready to be used and abused.

YES!

Anybody who has a better theory??

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, once around the pan in a slow stream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, minced
• 1 cup vodka
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 can crushed tomatoes (32 ounces)
• Coarse salt and pepper
• 16 ounces pasta, such as penne rigate
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 20 leaves fresh basil, shredded or torn

Serve with:

• Crusty bread, for passing

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic and shallots. Gently sauté shallots for 3 to 5 minutes to develop their sweetness. Add vodka to the pan (3 turns around the pan in a steady stream will equal about 1 cup). Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2 or 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. While sauce simmers, cook pasta in salted boiling water until cooked to al dente (with a bite to it). While pasta cooks, prepare your salad or other side dishes. Stir cream into sauce. When sauce returns to a bubble, remove it from heat. Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with sauce and basil leaves. Pass pasta with crusty bread.
