So, I've been nominated for a few blog awards. The categories are interesting..dunno how I ended up in most inspirational..perhaps I'm an example of how to get through life with a sense of humor, if not a sense of grace. And in Most Humorous...it still cracks me up that most of my Blogexplosion comments are from people who think I'm funny, because I generally think I'm cranky. I started blogging to just have an outlet of sorts. As a former performer ( I'm a poet..that rhymes! Why am I not in Best Literary/Writing category)? when I would relate srories of my day to family, etc, they would laugh. hard. Even at the parts that included me passing out during Restaraunt Week on the line. I suppose it's all in the telling, or my family is a sick bunch. Ok, they are, but still.
Anyway, one of the categories I was nominated in is best Cooking/recipe blog. BWAH! Unlike many other foodie types, especially foodie students ( Run. Run now) I don't talk about my latest culinary creation. I do tend to think of this as a baking blog, because my life does revolve around it so much. I've been baking to pay the rent for 8 years. I've worked at small coffeehouses, progressing from baker to bakery manager, I've worked at what is likely the most famous eatery in NYC, at least according to Zagats, I've managed a ridiculously overpriced cookie shop where 18 hand iced cookies can cost you 60 bucks, had a mental breakdown at a bakery that started and ended with myself and the good 'ole EEOC lawyers, attended culinary school, where i met one of my best friends M, and now work at another top of the top artisinal bread bakery where they are setting me up for another breakdown by supervising.
So I don't post recipes, but I do post tales from the darkside. The sweaty, stinky, hot, rash filled darkside.
But if you're looking for a recipe, here's my latest
RECIPE FOR SURVIVING THE PROJECTILE POOPING AND PUKING TUMMY FLU
2 bottles Coke or Ginger Ale.
3 pairs, minimum, of clean jammies
Cell phone
Charmin Triple roll TP
pug pee free down blankie
Season 3 "24" DVD's from Netflix
Credit Card
Vicoprofen
Pepto Bismol caplets
Blog
When puking commences, use CELL PHONE to call out of work at the bakery. When they sound mildly irritated, remind them puking on the olive twists will not garner repeat wholesale accounts.
Pour a glass of COKE or GINGERALE to sip in between puke episodes.
When splatterage occurs, change into new pair of clean jammies.
Use CHARMIN as needed, generally every 15 minutes.
Pop some PEPTO BISMOL caplets, as the liquid makes you retch, and even your pugs won't take it. And they eat paper towels.
When massive headache from your brains being forced out your bodily openings starts, pop a VICOPROFEN.
While getting loopy on VICOPROFEN, log onto the computer and make Blogger eat your blog.
Email IQWM multiple annoying times while she fixes your blog.
Attempt shopping online with CREDIT CARD, because you are chilly and loopy and decide you need more sweaters. or makeup. Or chocolate.
Run to bathroom after thinking about chocolate.
When loopiness and annoying ability wears off, and you realize you have no money, curl up on sofa with tooting pugs under PUG PEE FREE DOWN BLANKET and watch many episodes or SEASON 3 OF "24" ON DVD.
Repeat as necessary.
