Another Blog

Some days I'm convinced I start blogs just because I like making cover images. It may not be the worst reason. This is going to be a collection of stuff I like and that I've made. It'll be random and silly and occasionally insightful (if I'm lucky).

Welcoming the snow Imperial-style!

Spicy Chicken Nachos

We've been using the barbeque quite frequently this summer and recently came up with a killer meal: Spicy Chicken Nachos!

I took a few chicken breasts and put 'em on the grill. While one side was cooking I covered the other in Frank's Xtra Hot. When I flipped each one I doused the newly exposed side with hot sauce. I did this about five or six times, building up a wonderfully spicy, crunchy coating on the chicken.

Once the breasts were cooked, I took them inside and cubed them. We then topped chips with the chicken, red pepper and a whole lot of cheese and stuck it into the oven until the cheese was good and melted.

VERDICT: Favourite!

Desperation

This Friday I was busy making preparations for a weekend away and forgot to have lunch, after only having a few cookies for breakfast. The hunger hit me early into an hour long drive. I tried to endure the gnawing, twisting stomach, but knew it was going to be a long drive. This desperation lead me to do the unthinkable. Kristin brought a banana with her for a snack, and ..., and ..., well, I asked her for a bite!
 I took a big bite because I knew that I wouldn't be able to force myself to take another. It was excruciatingly gross. Soft and mushy and gloppy. Chewing it is impossible, it just goops it to new areas of my mouth. I had to focus and slow my breathing so I wouldn't be sick. Eventually I was able to swallow. I lived and didn't need any more food during the drive. Whether it was because the banana was filling, or the overwhelming grossness killed my appetite I'll never know.
VERDICT: GROSS!
