I hope everyone had a nice Easter! Mine was good. We got to feast on "one" fabulous
The week went by quickly. They hired someone to take my place in Maintenance, so I've spent the last couple of weeks training him. This way they will have someone in place when I leave. I don't have as much to do now. It seems I have more time to read.
Speaking of reading, I just finished The Messenger by Daniel Silva; The Carrot Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke and Outside Man by Richard North Patterson. The Messenger was really good--a very quick read. While I enjoyed The Carrot Cake Murder, I really liked the recipes that are included in the book. I look forward to reading one of her other six mystery books because the recipes sound so good.
In the food section of the Houston Chronicle (Don gets it & gives me the Wednesday food section from both that paper and the Victoria Advocate) there was an article about using fried eggs on the top of various dishes. Lately I've seen this in Bon Appetit and Food and Wine magazines. But the Houston Chronicle has a photo of three fried eggs on top of a sausage & pepperoni pizza. They say the creaminess of the egg combined with the cheese is fantastic. I can't wait to try this on top of a Gio's pizza. Someday!
We went to the commissary this week and that is always something to look forward to. I had a pint of Moolenium Crunch - Blue Bell. OH, so good.
Last night I made my version of "Frito Pie" (OK, Mike from San Antonio made it). Recently I've been craving chili, especially since the commissary has been out of "Chili No Beans" for the past two months. I'm glad it is finally back in stock. I also tasted some enchiladas that Bryan from New Orleans made. He makes them with rice and they were quite good. It is amazing what you can come up with using just hot water to cook and make things warm.
I'm going to end with a "Rhyme" written by my neighbor SWAT. He is from Houston and has been a part of the recording industry prior to me meeting him here. SWAT stands for the area of Houston he is from but his real name is Jesse Brown BKA (better known as)
Going through dis struggle bein' true to da game
My family also hurtin' by da choices I made
It took some time to overstand
Yeah, it's been a waste
Days turn to years
Still watchin' em fade
Can't blame no one else for bein' lost in my ways.
Been learned to live with regrets
In control I remain
NOT. Into. Games. Gotta. Advance. Strong
Doin' my thang
Hard
Prayin to God
Hopin' dis change come soon
Similar to a theater near you
It's notta film fool
You might assume right
dis is Treu life
with many consequences to your actions true right
Presume life is a lesson that you're not taught but always tested
Show and prove which dis essence comin' from
When these gates open wider than a female mouth
I'm comin' on.
