employment! :) ... :S

today stef rejoined the ranks of the barely employed!
and tonight her new boss laid the foundation for a very uncomfortable employment.

school lunch logic

if pizza counts as a vegetable serving, a bloody mary definitely counts.
*and shame on you, congress, for caving in to the frozen rectangular pizza lobby. SHAME ON YOU!

*epilogue on that last one

thanks, thanksgiving eve moustache riders. that was indeed hilarious.

men of stl, WTF?!!!!

some simple rules you're supposed to know by now:

a couple minutes of banter at a bar does not mean you can follow me into the girl's room for a quickie.

you may not rest your crotch on knees or any other body part as you make your introduction.

on a first date do not just leer and adjust your boner several times a minute.

 smothering a girl's face with spirit gum and smushing on fake stache with your meaty hands, while hilarious, is not a smooth move

stef meets the recruiter

*temping is like prostitution in all ways but one.

soulard market

back in the classroom!

jazz night

chicken n waffles is music to my ears

phonographophile

stef gives the ol phonograph a twirl!
and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and danced for a minute and then had to go back to give it a twirl and a twirl and a twirl and a twirl....

funemployment eats

at our recent visit to the market we dared ourselves to make the most of a "recession meat": smoked neckbones. made a friggin awesome soup!
so here's another recipe to try out:

now remember, "if your supermarket doesn't carry fresh pork neckbones, it means that the po' folks don't shop there. change supermarkets or move to a better neighborhood."

binging: a period of excessive or uncontrolled indulgence

STL has a lot of awesome food inventions, the best of which is "gooey butter cake".
GOOEY
BUTTER
CAKE!
just say it out loud. let it simmer.
at a halloween party i spotted a platter of pumpkin gooey butter cake and promptly stole away with it to a dark corner where no one could see me inhale the whole damn thing.

another trifecta:

game 7

trifecta: bar, costume party, winning!

game 6

what i learned from game 6:
-i pity the wives of traveling businessmen (note that dude hiding his left hand all night)
-put on a jessica simpson hat, the cards score
-people get slutty over sports
-sometimes baseball gets awesome!

welcome home gifts!

little brother did a LOT of puking while i was gone.
a lot.
a lot.
a lot.

and then we were all...

gettin our serious groove on up in here

hallmark moment

big brothers are knights when their little sister is overwhelmed with emotion during the ceremony

language barriers

"single" doesn't mean "in a failing marriage" and "date" doesn't mean "therapist", right? just checking.

the bar was highly recommended by a homeless dude. yes, seriously.




yes.
