Challenge of the Day/Week/Month/Year? #5

Ralph and I are back..

With another challenge!

This challenge will feature...

Spending an entire day without eating food that someone else made. Therefore, this means that the final product you are eating must have come from something you have created yourself, but not entirely. {I mean who knows how to grow tomatoes without buying soil?} This has to apply to EVERYTHING you eat for that day. COOK IT YOURSELF!

Are you up to the challenge? :]

Progress Update

Just checking in here, with myself, of the new writer's notebook thingy! :) I've given up the part about the whole "bring it everywhere" thing, kinda annoying now. BUT, im still writing in it almost everyday, so i guess im making up for it. Im practicing writing really REALLY long entries so far, and it'll help my writing hand. I've boxed all the things that i think should be blog topics, so hopefully now i'll have more interesting stuff to write about. [Or rather, its ironic the fact that i'm saying i'll have better things to write about, when i am writing about the actual event of me brainstorming for things to write about. That sort of takes away the whole point of me talking about it out loud. Then again, you'll never know if i dont say it, right? Well, i guess you really dont need to know that... Gah! Voluntary information is always unnecessary.] Anyways, Ralph will always be there to support me. Haha. :] [Launches tomato at reader*]

The Tomato

Fruit or vegetable? Red or orange? Yummy or delicious? I may not know the answer to the first 2 questions, but I am absolutely certain that TOMATOES MUST BE THE AWESOMEST THING THERE IS ON THE WHOLE PLANET! My diet consists of practically 30% tomatoes, and I tell you , that is A LOT. You wouldnt believe how awesome it tastes, as well as healthy. [Of course, the tomatoes I eat are USDA certified organic, and bought from the farmer's markets.] I eat it with noodles, soup, stir-fry, and A LOT more. It's copious in Vitamin C, and makes the world go round. Any recipies that I know how to make involves the tomato. If I wanted to, I could actually LIVE off of that stuff. First, there's stir-fry tomato and egg. Then, there's tomato soup noodles. These foods are made often by me, as well as my parents. The tomato is my bestest buddy in the world! :] The recipie I mentioned earlier: Stir-fry tomato and egg Ingredients: -tomatoes [2] -eggs [2] -soy sauce -salt -chicken broth [optional for more flavoring] Directions: 1. Cut the tomatoes into slices 2. Break the eggs, then beat until smooth 3. Add a hint of soy sauce into the egg 4. Add small amount of oil into pan 5. Turn on fire under cooking pan 6. Pour eggs into pan 7. Stir until eggs are solid 8. Empty eggs into other bowl and out of pan 9. Add more oil to pan 10. Throw in tomatoes 11. Add a little salt 12. Stir occasionaly 13. Add in eggs when tomatoes are well cooked 14. Add chicken broth for additional flavor [Actual cooking on the stove should take no more than about 7-9 minutes. Unless you aim to have it burnt or something.] Enjoy! *note: When I say that tomatoes are my bestest buddy, I mean that they are ONE of my bestest buddies. Meaning that there's still space for you, Ralph. No harm meant. I hope you'll still be one of my bestest buddies. *note: I am not responsible more any damaged caused by your pathetic attempt at cooking, and I will never be. Cook at your own risk. Dont burn yourself too bad. Unless you like to have skin grafts. Thats another story. But, remember, TOMATOES ROCK! [Of course, not as much as I do, since im so awesome at cooking them.] :)

A Day in Events #1

It's almost winter, and I'm cold. But that's not very strange. I guess I just like circular reasoning. So, now that I've sorta run out of any interesting things to say, I shall describe to you my day, with slight modifications. Of course, I'm sure you wont mind if it's all fiction. It'll probably be more fun to read anyway. :] -Ate breakfast: expired bread + yucky tasting milk [that was probably expired too] -Did some homework. WAIT. DID I? WHERE'D IT GO?! ... -Tore through my closet, looking for a hat. I found one, but it turned out to be defective in the use of warming my ears. -Went to exchange shoes at the shoe store for MT performance on Tuesday. My old high heels were killing me. They should be called "high hells" instead. [and no, that was not cussing, because apparently in the bible "hell" is an actual place.] :) -Was called to lunch, sat down at table, and tasted noodles. Turns out, it was slightly uncooked, along with the egg. So I broke the egg by accident, since the yolk was still watery. And guess what? I ended up having to drink eggnog with tomato flavoring. And a lot of salt i added in, because it tasted so bad. But it just made it a lot worse. Summary: bad lunch. -Parents said something about stove, clogged. Used sewing needle, then poked at holes in stove top. Stove was suddenly unclogged, and the clogged stove was the reason why my lunch was uncooked and ended up as salty eggnog plus tomato flavoring. [blink*] I wish that sewing needle was there sooner...>< -Did some more homework, until my brain nearly burst because my efficiency rate was so slow.... -Went to MT practice. Got there a couple minutes late, as usual. It was cold. It was freezing. It was chilly. [Sorry, but thesaurus.com doesnt really have anymore synonyms.] Any chance of a warm air molecule being in the air was obliterated. -Snatched away from MT practice, later than expected. Coach yelled for wasting their time, by not calling for rides earlier. Cannot even describe the feeling when I stepped into the car. [sigh.*] -Captured as prisoner at parents' friend's house for most of the night. Unavailable computer. [arrg.*] -Dinner = lots of seafood. But mostly crabs and coke. [dont ask.] -Bored to death, after finishing half of a really long novel, doing all the errands on Animal Crossing, and nagging my parents about going home. It was amazing how I managed to drag them back to the car. Again, relief when stepping into car. -Right now, I think my toes are dead. -SUDDENLY, OUT OF NOWHERE, A HUGE PIECE OF BREAD WENT INTO MY ROOM FROM MY WINDOW, AND SAT DOWN. It said [in a really loud voice], " H-E-L-L-O T-H-E-R-E ! W-O-U-L-D Y-O-U L-I-K-E T-O T-E-L-L M-E A S-T-O-R-Y?" -So, here I am, typing at the keyboard, with a huge piece of bread next to me, reading about my day. -It's a guy, and his name is Ralph. -Say hi Ralph! -Ralph: " H-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I ! " -And Ralph says that he's multi-grain, and very healthy. :) -Ralph is nice. And yummy too. :] Its nice to have non-expired bread once in a while... So, there you go. That was my outrageously normal [and long] day. Of course, it could've been funner... but I'm not that creative. Sincerly sorry for wasting your time with my blabbiness. [And inablity to spell.] Oh, and Ralph wants to say something. -Ralph: " B-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-E-E-E-E-E !" Oh geez, now i've got a bunch of nuts from a certain someone stuck in my keyboard... >.< *note: Again, i have no intentions of tampering/endorsing the thesaurus.com copyright thingy, i just mentioned it because i really did go on there, since i was curious as to how many relative words there was to "cold". FYI, not many. *note: My windows do not open. They're like screens, and glass. And it is utterly impossible for any object to travel through it, unless its an air molecule. :] Have a nice day! I hope you had one that was better than me!
