Worth every letter

Today I want to quote a whole paragraph, I am not sure if this is called quote or paraphrase or what! all I know is that I have an amazing writer friend who is going thru tough times.
and it seems that the best writings/ideas in writers come out either when they are going thru their best times ever (like love, luck, money, happiness) or the worst times (like economic problems, family troubles, death or even divorce) Here it goes:

"I guess it is easier said than done, isn't it? I can sit here and type and I can put the best act in front of the world, and I can smile to each customer that I take care of, and I can tell jokes amongst my co-workers and be funny (because I'm funny) and sing songs all day, sing and sing and sing and sing, and I can help people, tell them the recipe for one of our dishes, tell the what is going on in tucson, what new specials we have coming up this week and tell them what wine best complements their meal. What kind of beer do we serve you ask? Like a robot I will tell them about the 16 beers we have and the 20 wines that are on our wine list, and the 20 ingredients that go on our salad, and which foods you can eat if you are gluten intolerant and how many times a year you can call in sick and use a doctors note and not get points, and how when I started working there, things where easier, and I can teach my kids how to cook, and help them with their homework, and I can cook some of the best meals I have ever cooked, I can cook shrimp and never overcook it, never have that horrible rubbery flavor. I can joke around with the cashier at fry's and have 144 friends on facebook, I can do so many things, and I can smile like everything is so right, y todas estas cosas son relativamente faciles, pero lo que no es facil es hacer cosas que jamas he echo antes, como por ejemple divorciarme. (and all those things are relative easy, but what is not easy is to do things I have never done before, for example getting divorce)"
What do you all think? I think this is worth every letter in gold!!!

Fresh as a Lettuce

After an extensive research of 'lettuces' I came to a definite answer to the question that Sarah D. had asked me last month: what kind of lettuce am I? I would have to say.... I am a "Red Leaf Lettuce" for the following reason:


"As for salad bowl above. As with all red lettuce, grow for appearance in salads, not the rather bitter taste." done.

Bubble Wraper Poper

I just want to show what a GREAT! gift I got just now @ work (from Anita!). I loooove the feeling of squeezing and poping each bubble. I have the control! I decide how many to pop and I can do it! I love bubble wrap! Ok, got to go pop some bubbles. I'll pop half of it and I'll save half for after lunch! yeah! can't wait.

My name is Alex, and I am addicted to Heavy Whipping Cream

yes! I confess it! I looove HWC. Note: if you are easily grossed out, don't keep reading ahead! (ok, I warned you) so, as I was saying...sometimes I daydream about drinking HWC out of the bottle, or in a tall glass with ice, or lightly whipped with a straw as if it were a shake! yum. I have had many oportunities to do it, but I'm so self concious about it! I'm sure it has a billion calories and besides you just don't do that! right? well...I I do it one day I'll describe how it went.

The Outside look...it sure counts!!!

Many people say, "lo que cuenta es el interior" (what counts is the 'interior'/inside) Liars! The outer looks does count to. How can you explain that when you go to a restaurant you feel more atracted to a piece of dessert that is decorated and plated nicely than if it wasn't. Why are you willing to pay extra$$$ for a "plated and decorated" food when you can make it at home? why? because you care about the appearamce! you do! no matter what anybody says. You want the works and you want the grits.
Now in real life don't go trhu life pretending you don't care about how others see you.
You do. I do. We all do.
Just like you care about other things' appearances, others care about your appearance. Yes, what matters is on the 'inside' but in order to get to the inside, we must first feel attracted to the outside and next desire the inside. So think about it next time you do something for your self or order your next plate for lunch.

Duck-ling Arround

Crispy Duck and summer veg rolls. I can eat this every day of my life, but I am not sure I could afford it, mean while I'll just look at this pictures while eating "Pollo Loco" every now and then...jajaja

Yummi...

Okay! I just want to show up my favorite thing at the High Desert Market Place... this is the "TURKEY AND CREAM CHEESE ON GRILLED FOCACCIA BREAD W/SIDE GREEN SALAD AND DRESSING OF THE DAY" Doesn't that sound that delicious!! When you bite into it the crispiness of the warm bread, it breaks in your mouth while enjoying the saltines of the turkey meat and the extra creaminess of cream cheese brings everything together. after each bite you take a refreshing bite of the green, fresh, crisp salad greens with the bitterness and sharp flavor of the dreassing cleanning your palette and preparing you for the next round!
mmmhhh... I'm getting hungry now...
