like usual, i don't really have a recipe, but i'll try. i planned on making this next week but my parents needed something for sunday dinner, so i'm making it sunday. i've only made this once before, so i hope it tastes as good this time.

water
chicken stock
miso paste
beef
rice
scallions
carrots
potatoes

okay, first start with lots of water with a few scoops of miso paste and chicken stock. bring to boil, add beef and enough rice to soak up all the liquid, turn down heat, add chopped up scallions, carrots, and potatoes. let simmer for like many many hours, stirring occasionally, keep the rice from burning on the bottom. if there's too much liquid, add more rice.

tastes very good baked into a biscuit. kinda line a bowl with dough, fill it up with stew, cover and seal it with more dough, bake at 350 for however long it takes (i didn't exactly time it). cut through the top and eat it like it was in a normal bowl

last night, i solved a decades long mystery. the mystery of rowdy. i have a dog named rowdy, he's almost 10 (if he's not alredy). he's a mutt. his mother was a chow/jack russell terrier mix but we haven't been figure out about his father.

over the years i've looked around, trying to find a third dog that looks just like rowdy. rowdy's coloring is pure father, so that's where we've been looking. last night i found a website with over 100 dog breeds and an example picture of each one... i found it! i found a dog that looks almost exactly like rowdy: lancashire heeler. it was like i was looking at rowdy. i google it and it was like looking at a bunch of rowdies. the only major differences was rowdy's predominant chow features: mane, curly tail, black tongue.

i just took a few pictures, i'll take a few more and post them :)

Your Superpower Should Be Super Speed

You're quick witted and fast to act. You're mind works at warp speed. From your perspective, everyone else is living in slow motion. You get so much done, people have accused you of not sleeping. Definitely not a couch potato, you feel a bit crazy if you're not busy doing something. Why you would be a good superhero: You're be the first on the scene... and likely to finish the job before anyone else shows up Your biggest problem as a superhero: Being bored by everyone else. Including other superheroes!

You Are a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

You life your life in a free form, artistic style. You are incredibly creative and at times, quite messy. Deep down, you are a kid at heart. And you aren't afraid to express it. Your best friend: The Grilled Cheese Sandwich Your mortal enemy: The Club Sandwich

Your Mind is NC-17 Rated

You're mind is so filthy... you should should be washing every part of you out with soap. If your thoughts can go dirty, they do. Almost everything is NC-17 to you!

Your Mafia Name Is Vedette "Scarface" Zampelli

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

You are The Tower

Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.

The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.

The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.

You Belong in the Baby Boomer Generation

You fit in best with people born between 1943 and 1960. You are optimistic, rebellious, and even a little self centered. You still believe that you will change the world. You detest authority and rules. Deep down, you're a non conformist.

yeahbuhwha? i was born in 1984, haha

You Are 16% Girly

Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world. And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.

You Are a Lip Piercing

You are rebellious and defiant. You resist conforming and following rules. You're the type to get pierced anywhere you want, and you're not taking your piercings out for anyone! Reflective and philosophical, you've spent a lot of time thinking about how you'd like to live your life. And it just so happens that your preferred lifestyle is pretty far outside the mainstream. While people may find you standoffish, you aren't necessarily rude, mean, or judgmental. You just don't try to fit in. And that's enough to scare most people away!

You Are a Ghost

Mysterious, independent, and often unseen - you always do things your own way. You are introverted, shy, and even a little secretive. People are dying to know you better, but you're a difficult person to know. A lot of your contributions to the world are left invisible and unfelt. Your greatest power: Blending in really well Your greatest weakness: Being too passive You play well with: Witches

( Go Pixie! )

a few months ago, i was trying to think of ways to make money from home, to make either something to sell online or at flea markets/craft fairs. well, one of the local stores sells pringles containers and soda cans with removable bottoms so you can hide stuff. i thought 'that can't be that hard'. well, today i finished a semi-working prototype of a pringles container with removable bottom. i say semi-working so i used a hot glue gun instead of a sodering gun. if i had a sodering gun, the mechanism for keeping the bottom on tight would be more stable.
