Galloping Gourmet

I forgot how beautiful
I am,
A group of 4 precious little ones
Unveiled a past me,
lost
The longing screams
Mama, Mama
Hailed my heart
I realized it was me they called
A memory was jogged of 3D,
The Little Ones Pied Piper
A parade of starving mini mights following me down
A poverty stricken,
Racially repressed,
Parents missing
Town
Playing games and finding joy
Erasing the helpless reality
Of Violet, Louisiana.
I wondered why they came to pay homage to me so many years later.
I forgot,
Me.
Scalloped Potatoes.
They kept asking me about those potatoes 25 years later
With not a phone call or contact
To hold dear our connection.
Now I remember the games we played to appease their starving bellies.
Who has potatoes?
I do, I do!!
And can we find some cheese,
Who has some cheese?
We had to collect from several empty homes where they resided in force.
Milk?
Now we have a meal.
Strange how something so small
An action so lacking in complexity,
Shaped a town of children,
And
Me.

Selling my 300ZX

I WILL BE POSTING PICS AFTER THIS AND SENDING THE LINK TO MY EBAY CUSTOMERS.
SO EACH PIC HAS TO COME SEPERATELY.
SORRY!!!

Vehicle Description
I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS CAR ON EBAY WITH THE INTENTION TO RESTORE, OF COURSE I DIDN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE AMOUNT OF TOOLS I WOULD NEED, SO DUE TO A FINANCIAL CRUNCH I AM FORCED TO SELL YET ANOTHER FAVORITE PROJECT.
THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID IT OVER HEATED AND THEY JUST LET IT SIT FOR YEARS.
I WENT UNDER THE HOOD AND CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT AND WHILE DOING THAT NOTICED THE RADIATOR HOSES WERE ALL CUT UP AND NO GOOD ANY MORE.
I CHANGED THE HOSES AND IT NO LONGER OVERHEATED, BUT IT WAS KNOCKING.
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MOSTLY DISMANTLED, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE TOOLS, NOR THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE OVERHAUL JOB.
THIS WILL MAKE AN EXCELLENT CAR WITH A LITTLE MECHANICAL WORK.
IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BOTH RADIO CONTROLS THAT WORK AND CRUISE CONTROL.
THE FRONT SEATS NEED RECOVERING BUT THE BACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
I TEST DROVE IT AFTER FIXING THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND THE GEARS ALL SHIFT.
THIS CAR HAS TO TRAILERED.

Com Pai?!!!

Today, while having lunch at Fujiyama, I created a spicy new drink.
Wasabi and Sake.
Like peanut butter and chocolate,
A bit harder to down
Mighty hard on the
Stomach
But
Somehow appropriate.

Com Pai.
Was-Sake!!

On a Roll

This is an unfinished piece inspired by an exotic passage from my attempt at the NaNo last year. Now how do I get the women hanging from beams, clad in black leather bondage suits with body parts revealed, into the cages?

More Art, Cold Silent Reflection

Depths of Delta Dawn

So, I am having Thanksgiving at my house this year.
Mom in her psychedelic fog cracked a rare smart-alecky comment about my tendency to go overboard.
Damn it sucks to be so transparent.
Well, I decided I would make bread instead of buying it,
I’d make leafs for my new garage sale steal of a dining room table that when pulled out with it’s new leafs (I am so proud of) it seats 10.
I’ll make new drapes and table cloths with ,
what?
place mats, yes, whoo hoo,
I am on a roll now.
Hmm why buy napkins from the store,
I’ll MAKE THEM!!!!
Ok now mom insist on the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, and said she would do that
(I don't think she can do that seeing bunny's running arround in the liveing room, complements of Lithium, Thorazine, Prozac, Wellbutrin and whatever that other one is)
so I can get down to the gourmet, Crown Roast of Pork with Porcini, Fennel an Apple Stuffing. All this and full time school.
I built the leafs, as told above,
made the drapes,
but damn these placemats are getting a bit much,
not to mention the napkins.
I am giggling like crazy right now because everyone’s placemats and napkins will be a different size and shape if I can’t get my mom off the psycho drugs.
She lifts her head after I butchered the fabric and say’s, “you cut that wrong”,
Gee thanks mom.
I started baking the bread and guess what……
I didn’t know the recipe was for three loafs of bread,
And didn't discover this until after I had 8 batches rising.
so now I have 24 loafs and each guest has to eat at least three.
Oh, my god, I am laughing my ass off.
So the recipe says place loafs on cooking stone
put 1/3 cup water in broiler pan beneath stone
and spritz loafs.
Ok, seems easy,
Loafs on stone,
push in,
pour water in pan,
BAM,
exploding blue glass everywhere.
Guess a glass broiler pan was not the choice of material.
Now only 22 LOAFS
