When life hands you pork loin and sour cream...

When life hands you pork loin and sour cream, MAKE ENCHILADAS! 

      For dinner last night my mom wanted to do something with the leftover lackluster pork loin we had for our Christmas lunch.  You handed me this huge tub of sour cream and told me to figure out how to make a sauce out of it.
      This is how it went:  I need a bowl.  Probably a medium-ish one.  Got it.  Okay...hmmm...this "Rotel" would be good in it.  I should get drained, yup.  Done.  Ok, well, I don't think cream of mushroom will do it Mom, sorry.  What else do we have?  Ooh, cream of chicken.  Plop.  Stir.  Should I put milk in it?  But we have this leftover cream, I'll use that.  Now it needs sea salt, celery salt, chili powder, and pepper.  Sweet.  I think dumping some cheese in here will be a super idea.  What's a little more dairy to this diet?  Now, lets load these babies up!

That's how it went down.
And, then we ate impressively yummy enchiladas.

Yummmm

I made the most yummiest thing yesterday out of a left over tortilla from my lunch.

Soft Tortilla
Cream Cheese spread all over
Cinnamon and Sugar Sprinkled semi heavily over it all
Roll it up and smack your gums

Right now I'm enjoying that same combination on toast.  It's dangerous.

I made a peanut butter pie!!! I've been wanting to do so for so long.  I made chocolate whipped topping for it but it didn't whip like the picture looked.  Maybe it hardened up a little on the top so it wont be so had to cut out.  Plus I only had a round cake dish instead of a pie dish.  We used to have a pie dish...*sad face

Yummy food makes me feel good, until I step on the scale of course.

Random poofs!

Rain Lily...or that's what I call them.
Marketing towards women...
      I've been watching a TV channel where they market Cinnamon Toast Crunch towards women.  Guess what I'm eating?  Yes, I'm a sucker.  Heck, Eggo Waffles came on and my mom was practically salivating.  Guess what she got at Sam's Club?  Yup.  I'm a bit put off by that one because I love making waffles with the just add water mix.  The truth is you have to cook it after you add water so you don't just add water.  As for Magnum ice cream bars and 100 calorie brownies...I don't care about those.  Those commercials make women look desperate.  If she's desperate for anything it better be a man, not a damn brownie. 

Painting my nails...
      That's what I'm doing right now.  I hope ma doesn't mind yellow speck on her keyboard.  Hopefully that doesn't really happen.  I see the coolest ideas for painting crazy designs on your own nails.  Having said that I'm just going to paint them yellow and then slap a coat of gold glitter on top.  My nails grow pretty long without me realizing it.  When I was inspired to play a little on my dads guitar I just cut the 4 on my left hand.  Those were getting long again, and though I lost inspiration to keep the guitar pluckin' (once again) I decided to cut them all.  I got to my right hand and screamed!!!  Not.  But they were getting pretty long, so I'm glad I haven't pulled one back on anything...like that time that happened at work when I was trying to pry open the vacuum cleaner.  Pain...pain.  I'm going to have to retire this yellow polish because it's getting stringy.

Lists...
      I love making lists.  I'm trying to not use as much paper so I put them on my phone or on my dry erase board that I turned into a weekly calendar.  I printed one out the day before yesterday because I felt like type...but then I felt bad for using a whole sheet of paper just for that.  It was a list for my boyfriend and me on what we might do when he comes for a visit.  I've really been wanting to go with him to a pumpkin patch type deal.  I though farmers market but most are only open until 1pm and I wont be done at work until 12:30 at least.  Plus the dude wants his hair cut.  Therefore, I've revised my list since I printed it out. 

Silly Drawings...
      I love sending letters to people.  Plain and simple!  When talking on the phone last night I drew a lovely border to a future letter including Dragons, a chicken, and a fish.  I figure it will give whoever gets it a good laugh.  I made a copy of it so that it can go out to more than just one person.  Two persons! 

Sitting around and doing nothing...
      I consider reading and blogging not doing much because I'm not moving my legs and I'm not making anything.  It's the easiest thing to do since I don't want to drive anywhere...or put on clothes to wear in public.  At least on some slow days where I just wait out until 3PM or so I make it out for a walk down the road and back.  I may still be in my night clothes and just be wearing flip flops but I like being able to say that I did that.  I need to go to the studio though...I have a nice painting idea.  Simple...but intriguing.

Eating...
      I want to eat more.  I had cereal and a banana.

Life....
      Why doesn't America have a school of Witchcraft and Wizardry???  Haha!  I guess I wouldn't know about it.  I want to intrigue someone to make a decent movie about the American version.  Scratch that!  I like their accents.
