Once again, I'm on the job hunt.  If you know of any openings where you work, let me know?

this is based on a joy of cooking curry powder recipe...

1 part each (about a tablespoon):
ground cumin (if you are able to grind the seeds *swoon*)
ground cardamon (same as above...although i think the shells make it a little bitter, but not bad)
ground coriander
powdered ginger
3 parts turmeric
if you like spice, add cayenne pepper

boil/steam potatoes and sweet potatoes (one each) and cauliflower (half or a quarter a head)

fry some onion and fresh ginger if you've got it.
add chicken/shrimp/lamb/tofu
cook til the meat is done

add your spice mix and cook for a quick bit

add half a can of coconut milk and half cup of stock/water
add chickpeas, tomato, spinach and whatever veg you have in the fridge (grate in some zucchini, slice up some mushrooms....)
bubble until the potatoes and cauli are done and toss them around.

call rebecca and tell her to get her butt over for curry!

serve over rice/quinoa.

this makes enough for 2 people for 2/3 days, or maybe 4-6 people

play with it.  enjoy.


i love cooking shows.  i learned this about ginger:

stick it in the freezer, use a grater (all we have is a big hole one and it works...great)
and grate off as much as you need and stick it back in the freezer!  wow!  love it!

oh, and i have no doubt that omega 3/6 is very important.  i've been eating flax and/or hemp everyday for a month, and i feel wonderful.

Go to urbandictionary.com and type in your answer to each question in the search box, then write the MOST AMUSING OR STRANGE definition it gives you

1. Your name:
2. Your age:
3. One of your friends:
4. What should you be doing?
5. Your favourite colour:
6. Your birthplace:
7. Last person you talked to:
8. Last thing you had to drink:
9. Your nickname:


1. Rebecca:  A violent fat southern woman with a hot temper who lives with her 2 chubby son's.

These scums reside down in Texas and mooch off the gov. They have a slight southern drawl and are known for troublemaking.

If you see this hideous creature either laugh at it or stay far away from her or she may eat you and serve you for dinner to her southern white trash sons.


2. 29: 

29 is akin to, in the words of most, "Humping a Humpback whale" The 2 from sideways looks like a whale's hump and tail, hence the whale part, and the 9 is you. 29 resembles you humping a whale. It is a strange new thing that is catching on rapidly. "I got number 29." Grant said. "Oh silly," I said, "Don't you know that means? It means you humped a humpback whale."

3.  Kirsi: 
1. damn its kirsi. changes boxers

2. shitt.

4. Dishes:

Used as an adjective, "dishes" primarily means to be "done". This is derived from a scene in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead in which one character is sitting on top of the house shooting plates and other glassware which he notes by saying "The dishes are done!" So using this scene as a foundation we can formulate a proof that states that dishes can be done and people can be done(drunk, tired, full, etc.) Therefore by the transitive property...people can be dishes. To note that one's self is drunk, tired, full, or just plain done: "I am dishes." To note that an object is beyond repair: "Wow, there are pieces scattered all over the yard. That dildo is dishes." 5:  Red:  One of the many different flavors of Kool-Aid. Others include yellow, orange, purple, and occaisionally green. Guy: Hey, you got any Kool-Aid? Other Guy: Yeah, what flavor? Guy: Red! 6.  Toronto: toronto is the dirtiest, most violence-ridden city in canada. most of the people there are assholes and/or rapists. do not go to toronto. for cleaner, safer, nicer canadian cities, see vancouver, montreal, ottawa or halifax. i was in toronto the other day and on the way to the subway station i stepped on 37 homeless people. 7. Mom:  wow flipped upside down flip wow it says mom 8. coffee: a person who is coughed upon 9. bex:  to tease, harrass, ridicule, make fun of mercilessly. "Quit bexing the new girl!"

I NEED to share this tip.  it's the best ever if you eat squash, and like it in other things than just roasted .: needing to be peeled.  Rather than struggling with those awkward curves using a knife,

use a vegetable peeler. 

one of the ones with the peeler horizontal to the handle might work better than one paralel to the handle, but either work.  I've tried it by leaving the squash whole, and chopping it up first, I still don't know what I like better.  But I do know, I like the peeler!

happy squashing.

so, once again I'm asking for your help.

I finally quit my job before it left me unable to use my right arm.  sigh.
because I left for medical reasons on my doctors advice, I can go on EI.  *phew*

but I do need a job.

Full time, $11+/hour, with benefits.  At a desk, or very little repetitive arm movements or heavy lifting.  I'm fine with standing and walking.

Doing monster.com/workopolis.com, craigslist, NOW, checking company web sites.  Any other suggestions?

Anyone have/know of any openings?

Thanks!

the yard sale is tomorrow, sunday the 29th

10-1

54 wilson park road.

maybe i'll see you at pride later.  or maybe i'll be doing last minute packing...

Saturday June 28  10-4

we're moving, and getting rid of as much stuff as we can part with. come buy it, AND get free lemonade! wooo!

tell people who live in the 'hood.

and if you come by, be prepared to watch my stuff while I take a pee break!

54 Wilson Park Road

hey, i saw something somewhere about getting rid of old electronics...
was it FB, here, NOW? can't remember, but we have some stuff that needs to go away, that doesn't work (drill, scanner, computer) and we'd rather it not go to a dump..where can it go??

i like to calculate things.  http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm

i will ride 8.214 kms to work, each way, once we move.  right now it's closer to 9 kms.  (it takes me 45-50 minutes to ride 9kms uphill to work and about 40 mins, to ride home.)

I'm once again looking for a new job.

It cannot be physically demanding.  I'm leaving this one due to bicep tendinitis in the shoulder.  No major lifting or pushing, or large movements repetitively.

I need full time, $10/hour +.  No selling over the phone.

I'm awesome right, you can recommend me!

Let me know of any job openings in your place of work!

Thanks!!

Hi friends!

We're moving, and we need your HELP!

we HOPE HOPE HOPE to move June 30th (or before...), but we may end up moving  July 1.

we are going to rent a van/truck, and we need someone to drive.  We need strong arms and backs to carry stuff to and from the van, and people to help clean after the lifters have left.  We may need people to help carry fragile things like plants to the new place, walking or via ttc.

beer(or nice cold juice or water) and food will be your reward.

We decided to move.  July 1.  There are some problems with this apartment (mold, landlord who likes to do things himself, except taking out the garbage, you can hear the downstairs tenants TALKING) and I want to get a wee bit closer to work, but we can't go too far from Jason's work...

we are looking for:


soo uh, if you just HAPPEN to know of a 2 or 3 bedroom in this general area, for $1100 or LESS, for July, let me know!  the closer to lansdowne or keele the better, i can take either bus to work.

anyone was out when it was announced (and could walk home, and didn't notice...like me)  The ttc is on strike!  bah!  i guess i'm riding the hour to work.  i didn't want to, it hurts my shoulder, but i'm not paying the $50/day for a cab.  FUCKNUTS!

I LOVE my bike, but I need one that is better for riding 50 minutes up hill.

It's a Specialized (thats the brand name...).
Upright handle bars.
The balance is phenomenal.
Awesome crank (thats where the peddles are).
There is a "mega ring" for going up steeeeeeeep hills.
Front shocks.
It was tuned up yesterday (Tuesday the 15th).
My inseam is 32", and the seat will go up or down.

It's a great bike for cruising around the city.


it was about $800 new.
selling for $250




the crank




the mega ring



the cushy seat!
