I was bored enough to actually look at my blog stats. To be honest I didn’t know blogger recorded traffic. Obviously been awhile since I looked at what blogger changed.

It was a busy day today. Between noon and five I was pretty much on my own. Between the bottle machine constantly breaking down and the needy customers demanding 2 lb cheese on sale among other things it was pretty hectic.  By the time lunch rolled around I was pretty hungry. It was busy today because of the founders day sale. And when sales break out I usually see more assholes than friendlies.

Looks like I get to make myself some dinner tonight. Then maybe I’ll blow something up. Unless I blow something up in the kitchen…

>Boomers.

I think one of the many reasons why I love playing Left 4 Dead is because of my local work place. The customers and even some of the employees could easily be related to zombies. I was stocking cereal today minding my own business when all of a sudden the cart of cereal I had behind me hits my ass. Turns out it was a fatass customer who was too fucking lazy to say pardon me, excuse me, or you’re in the way (probably because she was saving her energy for chewing)… She just stared at me with a bitchy expression on her face. waiting for me to move the cart aside because her ass wasn’t narrow enough to go down THE ENTIRE dairy section. For fucks sake is it too hard to say excuse me?

>Cuban black bean soup.

I made this last night for dinner. The original recipe calls for 3 cloves of garlic and one onion. You can use half the onion instead and 1 large garlic clove or 2 small ones. And instead of using beef broth and ham you can use chicken and chicken stock in it’s place with light rum in place of the dark rum. Or even a vegetarian version of this would be nice too.

2 tbsp of olive oil

half an onion chopped

1 clove of garlic minced

2 15 oz cans of black beans

a small can of diced green chilies

1 cup of prosciutto or ham

1/4 cup of dark rum or apple cider

1 and a half tsp of ground cumin

1 and a half tspof oregano

1 large tomato chopped

In a medium saucepan chop the onion and garlic and then cook them in the olive oil. Add the cumin and oregano and cook until the onions are translucent. Add the beef broth, black beans, tomato, green chilies, rum and ham. Let it simmer for 15 minutes so that the flavors merge. Serve when ready.

Serves 4.

>A good cup of chai.

Here’s a tasty way to make chai. I suggest buying some chai bags, they’ll already have the proper spices in them.

2 cups of water

4 bags of chai

2 cups of milk

2 tbsp of honey

1/3 cup of sugar (optional)

Boil the water over a stove then add the chai, set to simmer for 2 minutes then remove the bags. Pour in all the other ingredients and return to a boil. Use a wire whisk to make the milk foamy.

Serves 4.
