Kyle and Mark

I got home this morning and noticed mom tried to call me. I called her back to see what was up. She told me she was doing well after her foot surgery, which is good to hear. We talked for 1.5 hours, a nice relaxed convo with mom is sometimes what the heart and soul needs. It really made me miss home, but we will be going on vaca soon enough. I didn’t get to sleep until about noon, I finally had to take some NyQuil to make mybody shut down for bed time.

So tonight at work, nothing was really on TV. I found Alton Brown making greens, greens are always a good thing. Mark didn’t mind them when he had them in Florida last time we went. So I’m going to make some for dinner tomorrow, I think it’ll be a good way to bring in the spring. So I found this recipe on Food Network.

Pot O’Greens
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2005

1 quart water
1 1/2 pounds smoked turkey legs
2 pounds stemmed collard or turnip greens
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra if desired
1 teaspoon sugar

Place the water and turkey legs in an 8-quart pot over medium-high heat. Cover, bring to a boil, and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.In the meantime, remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, chop pieces in half. You should have 2 pounds of greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.)

Once the turkey legs have simmered for 10 minutes, add the greens, salt and sugar, reduce the heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer gently for 45 minutes or until the greens are tender. Move the greens around every 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired. Serve immediately.

Well yesterday someone at my work wanted to know where they filmed BSG. I told him I had a post about that very thing on my blog and then he started giving me shit for not updating it.

This blog was started to help me keep in touch with my family and friends around the globe. So I was getting pissed that peopel were using it for their own little “comic” book. So I told him if he keeps pissing me off about it that I would just take it down. He then told me to go ahead and do that. So I am now blocking access to my blog from work from now on.

I am still going to use and control my WoW blog from work but I am not going to be doing anymore personal blog updates from here anymore. I figure he will get the hit that I am not someone to be trifled with. I don’t idly make threats and any threat I do make I see through to the end.

So no more personal blog at work from the time this is posted onwards.

Well it’s been a while since I posted anything and I am being badgered for an update. So not much has changed around the house, we got a new couch for $0.00. A lady Mark works with wanted to get rid of her sectional and we took her up on the offer. It’s seafoam green and leather, I don’t mind the color so much but I have always opposed leather furniture. The cats love how it’s always cool when they lay on it and it has a fold out bed so when company comes over we don’t have to make them sleep on the floor.

I other news I’m on midshift now and it’s not going to bad at all. I will see how the next week treats me and there may have to be an adjustment to my life.

Our gay friends are getting a divorce. Yup I guess gay people can get a divorce, well not like they were really married. They have grown apart I guess, well that’s what they have told us anyway. I felt very angry about it, I don’t knwo why but I guess because they have been like brothers to me it has impacted my life. I hope they will stay around, I know it’s selfish but I don’t care.

That’s all I have to say right now maybe more will come to me later.
