Mermaid

Most of my life

I've flown like a kite

High in the sky

Free as I might

But fly at the beach

Sometimes you land

In the water, out of reach

And not in the sand

Your future may fade

You look long and hard

For someone, a mermaid?

Someone to help you

A creature of passion

Who can lift you up

In very short fashion

I’ll be back in the sky

Flying free with my will

With the help of my love

Be my mermaid, if you will

JT Kite Surfing In The Big Soup!

This is my Brother Johnny Tremaine shredding the big stuff.  Is there anything this guy can't do?  The dude could ride a wheelie all the way from his house to 7-11 for a Slurpee!  He's a great surfer, awesome windsurfer, excellent skier...and now a kite surfer?!?!?  JT, Renaissance MAN!  I bet you can't golf though.  ;>P

Mac & Cheese on Acid

I have never met anyone who doesn't like this!  And this non-recipe gives you the chance to be as creative as you want to be.  You can always add leftovers to compliment this dish as well.

1 box of Mac  & Cheese (the kind with the cheese included, not the powdered stuff)
Start boiling water and add some evoo and a little salt
Here is where it gets fun: Prepare whatever you want to go with it.  Hamburger, Italian sausage, ham, salami, pepperoni, shrimp, whatever you like for you meat eaters.  My favorite is turkey burger.  If you're a vegetarian, peas, mushrooms, green beans, peppers, sliced red onions, etc. are a great alternative.  Have fun, it's your choice!

Boil the noodles and follow the directions on the box depending on your altitude.
When done, add the cheese...and here is the secret: then mix in some marinara or vodka sauce and toss.  Once you've made it a light pinkish color, add your side ingredient(s).  Think of it as a pizza without the bread.  Serve in a bowl because it will stay warm much longer.  And I guarantee those bowls will come back for more!

Enjoy.

Tammy Tremaine's Tale

I had to share this!  I spit on my monitor when I read it.  ;)

Some lady just cut in front of me in line at the gas station. Then yelled at some old man for taking the window squeegee before her. She said she was at the gas station first. WTF????  She didn't find my reply, "Who lit the fuse on your tampon?!?" as funny as I did...but the old man did! hahahaha!

Memo to self: Do NOT mess with Tammy...especially during a certain time of the month.
