Itsoweezee!!

The bread, you're on your own. But let me know if you find something that really works. I think the trick is a bun dense enough to hold everything together but not so dense that it's too chewy and overpowers the taste of everything else.

Make your favourite tomato sauce. A fair bit because the bread really soaks it up. As you know, extra can be kept for later.

Have lots of grated or thinly sliced parmesan on hand for the construction portion at the end. We're not huge cheese fans, so you can have other/more cheese, I guess mozzarella being the obvious choice.

The meatballs, either cheat and buy them pre-made or else start garlic, chili flakes and rosemary with olive oil, add fake ground round and toss til you like where it's at. In another bowl thinly grate mozzarella or another cheese you like with similar density and toss that with bread crumbs and chopped parsely and/or basil. When the meat-stuff is done, toss in the cheese/breadcrumbs and working quickly, make the balls/patties - the cheese/crumbs should help to keep it together. Put on a sheet and in the oven for a few minutes if you like or just begin construction!

Bread, meatballs, slather on sauce, cheese, the other piece of bread.

Noush-e-jan!!
Takk fyrir!
 
Stopped at church (aka Ross)
These are my confessions.

Cue Fatboy Slim "Praise You."
My lady calls it church 'cause it's my Sunday morning ritual.

I don't know about Herm's place, but my house is cold as shit in the winter. It was built a while back, and built to stay cool in the summer, but it can't contain heat worth shit
Same here, except I'm also a pussy when it drops below 60. And you know what? I haven't even turned the heat on! My house is pretty big for just me. I'm trying to see if I can get through the winter without it 'cause I hate paying a $130+ gas bill on my own! I have an awesome little space heater and I just move it wherever I go.
 
Hey,

Here are some fives for today:

1. It's been unseasonably warm in Dirty Jerz (around 60 degrees on Wednesday).

2. My classes have been going well (new prof on-the-block-related).

3. T**i and I are slow-walking down the home of our dreams (I see light at the end of the tunnel).

4. My merit-pay adjustment kicked in on my check

. The extra cheese will come in handy on the house hunting-tip.

5. I've lost some weight. My "disciplined eating" and morning pooch walks are working out quite nicely.

Peace,

Big Stacks from Kakalak
 
1. Technically, it's Friday bitches! Can't hate on that.

2. Party at my place on Saturday. DJ Dubs (myself) will be in effect.

3. Classes are looking good for this semester. We're only a week in at this point but I've liked what I've seen so far. Decided not to transfer next year so that's also a school related load off my shoulders.

4. Talked to the ex/still girlfriend (shit's complicated) today at length which we hadn't done in a while. It felt really good to connect like that over the phone.

5. Been wearing an all around good mood this past week for reasons unknown but I've been loving it. Meeting new people in classes and parties has been fun. Met a couple dude's at a Mardi Gras shindig that do beats in a little home studio. Dude played out some shit for me in his car and (from what I remember, which ain't much) it was real solid. Can't wait to link up with him.

Bonus: Leaders 1354 is having their 50% off sale on Sunday. Can't wait to blow through my last work check on some cheap new gear. If any of you are in the area on Sunday, stay the fuck out my shopping vicinity!
 
wow, i never do these but here we go!

1. my girlfriend.

she's sleeping in the other room, we've had our ups and downs in the past but i think we finally reached that point where it just plain smooooooth. never been happier, although shes worried she loves me more than i love her at this point, which is something i could never even imagine being the case a year ago...hahaha

2. about to get some CA$H MONEY

some fuckin idiot slammed into my car at one in the morning around christmas time. my car is was a 1995 VW Passat with 280,000+ miles on it, yet my dad convinced the insurance company the value of the car was $3000. i'm pretty excited because i've never needed money more in my life and now its basically falling into my lap. this also brings me to my next one:

3. parents

im talking to my dad more now than i ever have in my life i think, which is nice because things have always seemed kinda awkward between us. plus big ups to him for getting me that $$$$! and my mom is great too. i love her so much. a big help throughout my whole life as she is probably one of the most understanding people ive ever met.

4. motorcycles/mopeds

i stay up every night thinking about these. i'm about to buy a couple very soon, and fix up one that i've been meaning to work on for months now. exciting stuff and making me doubly excited for spring to come...

5. winter should be over soon.

PLEASE GOD. PLEEEEEEEEASE.
 
1. My Baby Girl is doing better. She??s 6 Month and in hospital, I just got back from Nightshift there to get my big Girl some sleep. I love both of them. If she still would do bad I would skip No 2:

2. Tonight ????ll be playing the Last Night of a 6 Year Residence in a very cool Club. I been there since it opened, we started as a "HipHop Night" but soon I turned into playing kinda everything. Was a Blast. We??ll be having a big Party, Champagne ( Me luv the bubblie!) Me Friends will be showing up, and I asked my fellow DJs to bring Records, but not more than 10. They have to be serious. Florian Keller and Jan from the Poets, Sepalot and Explizit, they bring different heat. We gonna set that place on fire.

3. I??m pretty broke but happy.

4. I got some work in a new tight Restaurant with nice people. they got Merguez on the Menu. Anybody knows the deal about the Queen of Sausages? thats a new threat. The Seeds of my freelance work are about to grow as well.

5. Soulstrut made throw on some records, like Carole King and stuff. didn??t listen to it for a while. Thank you Soulstrut.
 
plusses:
1. right now playing my johnny colon 'boogaloo blues' LP on cotique (NM OG!) for the 1st time, and its sooo nice.

2. video editing project is under control. still much work to be done, but i can finally visualize how its going to turn out, and i think it can be turned in by monday.

3. a totally nasty yet very satisfying 5 AM snack going on right now, keeping the video flames lit: 1 can coke over ice, 1 box regular triscuits, one can bizarre nacho e-z squirt "cheese zip" from a random ass x-mas gift basket. busted it out and its actually decent!

4. just remembered i think im 2 new Wires behind! hbo on demand is like a gift that keeps re-wrapping itself while you are busy.

5. my record connection sez come back asap, hes swimming in new untapped crates. monday?

minuses:
1. i havent really seen another human for a few days, its a weird feeling. (i like solo life in general but days of solitude on end is odd). i need to like, go to the post office or something, see a familiar face and shit.

2. canker sore on the bottom rear of my tounge! every bite of food = sudden sharp pain as it brishes against my teeth. Ow!!!!

always more + than - in my world. PMA!
 
That's my place. I stumbled across that place. It feels like this place I use to go when I lived in Louisiana. Oddly enough, before I read this, my acting friend wants to eat lunch there tomorrow.

1. Gene's Po-Boys - Had smothered pork chops last week, gumbo over the weekend, and a roast beef po-boy on Fat Tuesday. The man is over time becoming like a godfather to my family.

Its weird how your relationship with your parents changes once you get older. I like hanging out with my dad now. In highschool I never would have thought that was possible. But now I see my dad as a cool guy.

So true. When I was home for summer and just recently for Christmas break/J-Term all I wanted to do on Sunday afternoons was chill with pops. We don't have a ton of common interests but we can talk music all day, sports (no golf), politics (seed fell very near the tree). Not the most insightful dude I've ever known, but he's kinda like his dad, when he drops knowledge shit is real. I definitely appreciate the guy a lot more now that I'm approaching grownass status.
 
1.It's a beautiful day (see nzshadow's thread)

seriously? isn't that like a $450 bottle of cologne?
The 250ml one in the picture is, I'm getting the 50ml bottle which is $165. Still on the expensive side, but I got a couple of samplers of it now which are running out and I really like this scent.
 
but it gets down to freezing or below at night
I think it's been above freezing for a total of 12 hours this year so far.

Escapist!!! It's gonna be -15 on sunday. godbless minnesota
 
I wanna try the Neroli Portofino, where'd you get your samplers at?
La Rinascente in Milan. I think there's a list of retailers on Tom Ford's site. Yeah Neroli Portofino sounds good, haven't tried it though. I also wanna try Moss Breches, Amber Absolute, Oud Wood and Noir de Noir.

Back when I was in high school, my dad and I were damn near enemies. When I was in college, things weren't a whole helluva lot better. But now? We're totally cool. We've both mellowed out and can just accept each other as people, which means I can now see what a good guy my dad is.

Plus, he's way into me being a DJ, whereas before he really didn't like it. Every time my birthday or Christmas rolls around, he's asking me what equipment I need.
 
1) Finally, halfway through my second quarter, i'm starting to feel like I can speak um pequino de Portugu??s. Of course this still means I'm behind the rest of the class, most of whom are already fluent Spanish speakers, but it's getting there.

2) My Valentine's Day date speaks Portuguese and has got it goin' on.

3) Finally, after a goddamn year, I'm setup properly to make beats and mixtapes. It cost me a lot of money to do it right, but it's exactly how I want it and "I wouldn't change a thing, if I had to live my life all oooover..."

4) I've been clearing out my crates and realizing just how much more I know about records now than a year ago, and that I've really started to understand my own tastes. Now the only issue is trying to get some money for these five boxes of crap records.

5) I realized after yet another campus hip-hop event with no monitors, organization, competent sound guy, or real attendance, that I am done with bullshit gigs, forever, unless I am getting paid well.
