Cricket Suicide

Very freaking wierd!!! I didnt know such things existed. Sooner or later Man is going to harness this as a weapon.

"Gordian worm live inside crickets for long periods, feeding on the cricket's diet. Once fully grown, they inject chemicals into the cricket's brain brainwashing it and forcing it to kill itself by jumping into the water. Once in water, the worm wriggles out of the writhing body and swims off in search of a mate. "

First Attempt at Panography

I should have zoomed in closer to see better. Not bad for my first time I guess.

Click the title above for the howto.

Entomatadas

So my dear friend V gave me a pretty simple recipe for entomatadas. You slightly fry some corn tortillas in oil and then dip them in into some preheated tomato sauce. I used a spicy one. Then roll them up and add cheese inside and out. I put them in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

It was a very different taste for me. Took me awhile to accept the taste. After three I added lettuce and tomato with some crackers and it was all good.

Mini Enchiladas


When I mentioned to Cindy, Robs sister, the Entomatada Recipe V gave me she suggested I try her very quick enchiladas.

Here is the recipe she gave me:

1. Lightly fry corn tortillas in medium-hot pan with oil. Just till
tender.
2. Let drain on plate with paper-towel.


3. Take all tortillas and roll one by one, filling each with chilli
con carne (any canned brand will do). (or, you could also
simply fill each one with cheese only)
4. After they are all rolled up, side by side in a baking dish,
top with more chilli con carne and then top with shredded
cheese.

Place pan in oven at 350 degrees till hot and melted. It will probably be around 15 minutes, or so.


When it comes to cooking stuff I try to follow directions to a T. I keep my Kitchen PC right by the stove so I brought up her email and kept it up just incase. I know, I know, its a simple recipe. But still.

Anyway, they came out very very good. Don't make me decide which I liked better; the enchililadas or the entomadas.

Memories

Memories
I love Memories. I just wish there were ways to relive those moments. And I don’t mean so that I can change the way things were. Maybe relive is the wrong word. I wish I could see memories as though I am watching a DVD. I wish I could have a DVD Memory Album in the same way we have Photo Albums. Except no camera person is needed. They are just recorded.


The really sad thing is that I don’t appreciate memories until I feel that the creation of new memories are in jeopardy. On happy days, I can walk around this house and NOT think about the fun we have had here. I can walk passed that bench and NOT think about the night we sat there holding each other. I can mow the grass and NOT think about that night we rolled around in it that one beautiful moon lit night. But when things are not going right, when the future is uncertain, when I am here wondering where you are it is all I think about.

I think about those memories and I so wish many more could be created here. Only time will tell and sometimes time is extremely slow for this heart of mine but time I got.

My First Home

In February if 2006 I purchased my first Home. Its a two bedroom, two bath, two car garage. The Master bath and bedroom are upstairs. I looked for about 4 months until I fell for this house. I didn't start moving in until March because I had the floors done and I painted just about every wall in the house.

Click the pic for some pictures.

I added a few captions to the pics to describe what you are looking at.
