BREAKFAST TAQUITOS

Breakfast Taquitos
makes four Taquitos, give or take 140 calories each (varies with types of meat and amount of ingredients, and how well you swab the oil off)
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2-4 oz cream cheese
- 4 soft taco style corn tortillas
- 2-4 oz (1/4-1/2 cup) mixed shredded cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 strip of bacon (I used precooked bacon)
- 1 small sausage link of your choice
- butter (to scramble your egg in)
- enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a small pan
- a small pan
- fork, butterknife, knife sharp enough to cut thru sausage with.
- small bowl and plate
- lots of paper towels
Scramble egg and prepare sausage and bacon as usual.
Dice sausage, egg, and bacon in a small bowl.
Add cheese and your favorite spices, mix well. This is your filling.
Heat oil on medium high in a small pan.
Spread cream cheese thinly on one tortilla, adding extra on the folding line, especially at the ends.
Spoon a thin line of filling onto the folding line, no wider than an inch (2.54 cm.)
Fold up like a tiny burrito, so the cream cheesie edges are still unfolded. Make sure to do it as tight as possible.
Fry one at a time, give or take 30 seconds on each side depending on how brown you want them. Prepare others during cooking.
Swab 'em off with paper towels as much as you can. They get reaaaally greasy.
note: you can add or subtract anything you want except for the cream cheese. it's the thing that's holding it all together. If you add ingredients keep in mind you may need to prepare one more tortilla, vise versa.

things that make me happy
May. 8th, 2007 | 02:56 pm
#002: double cheeseburgers. I may be a fat fat fattycakes, but something about those round, beefy heart attacks gets me right where the heart is. um... literally.
#003: the spanish channel. Mundo or HBO-L. Either one. I can't speak a lick of Spanish, and I don't really know anyone who would want to sit with me for hours translating, but the talkshows and soaps are feasts for the eyes!! Drag queens, midgets, big fat whores, all! And, Harry Potter has never been funnier.
#004: cowboy boots. I don't know why.
#005: watching girlie anime. Utena, Azumanga Daioh, Sailor Moon. In my heart of hearts I want to be just like them. What with their ridiculously short skirts and ridiculously high voices.
#006: drag queens and movies about them. So maybe they're not as glorious in person as they are on the silver screen, these gaudy faux-ladies with their huge feet and brilliant color schemes inspire me.
#007: madea movies. I don't know how you can't think they're hilarious and morally enlightening. Plus, in Diary of a Mad Black Woman, there's a gospel version of "What if God Was One of Us"
#008: photo albums. Preferrably of people, but any are nice. I just like the idea of little moments captured.
#009: buying manischevitz after hanukkah. It's 1/2 off, tastes just like grape juice, and gives me a reason to buy challah bread. Not that i need a reason.
#010: ondemand. I would do a lot more things with my life if I didn't sit and watch movies ondemand all day and night. But new free horror movies every Thursday?! I'm in.

I saw this on youtube last night, and I was utterly perplexed. Here in Richmond Virginia, there may be a couple girls like that who I wrote off as f*cking creepy, but this is mostly a new concept to me. If it's new to you too,

Impromptu Dana Scully Hair
Mar. 20th, 2007 | 08:54 am
Do you like X-Files? I know I do.
This morning as I was blowdrying my crowning glory, I decided I wanted my delicious strawberry blonde coiffure to look like Agent Dana Scully's, from X-File fame.
How do I achieve that fantastic volume with hair as straight and limp as mine?
Easy.
Products I suggest using:
"Turn Up the VOLUME" spray in volumizer (wonder-product I found at Sally's Beauty Supply)
Sunsilk Anti-Flat Volumizing Creme also works, but isn't quite as effective.
ION "color defense" extra control shaping hair spray (also purchased at Sally's)
1.5" velcro curlers from the dollar store
Method:
towel dry your hair, apply volumizer strategically to your roots paying close attention to your part and hairline, then brush.
get out your blowdryer. dry your bangs *assuming you have bangs* for about 10-15 seconds, then bend over and blowdry the back of your head. tilt to the left and right accordingly to get an equal amount of lift from each side. come back up, brush, dry what's left, then brush again.
grab the front hunk of your hair and gingerly curl it onto a big roller. pull it tight, and the roller should stay on. do the same on the opposite side of your part, give it a little tiny spritz of hairspray to show it whose boss, and relax.
it should look something like this:

if you just removed your facial cleanser and your left contact lens is burning, then it'll look exactly like this.
go ahead and put your makeup on, finish your hygiene routine, and put your shirt on.
after a good 20 minutes has passed, you are now free to go back into the bathroom and take the curlers out.
WHOA WHAT IS THIS HOT MESS?
sshhhh.. it's okay. that's supposed to happen.
just grab your hairbrush and your hairspray and calm down. brush it into place then spray it. if you're a little lost or need some extra help, run your finger along the curve created by the curler. if you left it in long enough, and the gods are smiling on you, it should work. now go ahead and mist your whole head in hairspray. MIST IT though, you don't want rock hard hair. that's gross.
as vague as these directions are, your hair should turn out something like this:
hey. that's pretty cute. now if only your face looked as good as your hair.
and that shirt is lame.
did it go wrong?
wash it out.
for a slightly more curly Dana, just stick a few more curlers in your hair when you put them in the front.

uh, so... what is this?
Mar. 20th, 2007 | 08:47 am
A lot of people want to be me, so don't feel ashamed if you're totally envious of my mad skills... but I mean, if you're a jerk and think I suck at what I do, thats okay also. Just, keep those mean opinions to yourself.
