TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

Sorry about that last post and thanks to my Muddah for letting me know that it wasn't working.

I had one helluva day that ended with me singing some licks for my friend who is working on his album, which was tres fun.

Also fun, is this photo that my Mom emailed me from back in the day:


I don't know why the frack I'm in a laundry basket, and my friend sure looks confused as well. I am eating half a pretzel and look like a sumo wrestler.

And, as my mom asked, "by the way...where are your legs?"

Good question, Ma. I have no idea.

PAPER CUT UP THE...YIN YANG


Today at work I managed to get about 15 paper cuts. I don't know what was going on, but the one on the side of my left hand hurts the most.

WHAT GIVES?!

Today was also a gorgeous fall day, with a little nippity nip in the air. And with the rush of fall weather comes my intense love for fall vegetables, one mayjah one in particular:


Butternut Squash.

Or, as I like to call it "The B-Nut Squish."

It is so delicious and, really, in my book you can do no wrong with a b-nut squish. Fortunately for me, there is a little farmer's market right next to my apartment on Tuesdays so I can stock up mid-week after I run out from the weekend's market.

Tonight I will be roasting the squish with a medley of veggies along with another goodie:


The Sweet Potato.

Or, as I like to call it, the...um...

Sweetie Poteetie? Swingin' Po To? The Swizzie Potizzie?

LET'S GET FROTHAAAAY.

Besides my herbalicous garden, the other thing I bought a few weeks ago was my very own frother thingamabob. Thingamabobs? I've got twenty!

I love chai, especially in l'autumn, but I think it is a tad bit ridonc to pay $4 every time I want one, so I decided IMMA MAKE IT MYSELF!

1. Get yoself a thang to make yo chai frothaaayy (available at various cafes, grocery stores, and houseware stores)

2. Get some milk or soymilk (I'm a soy girl because I'm kind of a lactard) and chai liquid mix (my fave is the Oregon chai)



3. Heat them together in whatever portion floats your boat (I am a 1:1)

4. Pour into a cup and froth to your liking and:


BAM! You got yourself one hot, tasty chai.

I'm drinking one right now and it is waaay frothaaaay.

HERBALICIOUS.

I'm really excited because I have started my own herb garden.


No, no, you silly people. Not that kind.

This kind:

I bought my little plants at the farmer's market a few weeks ago and they are totally rockin' and rollin'. I've got rosemary, basil, and mint and who knows what I will add on.

I put the rosemary in my roasted veggies I made the other night; it was deeeeelish with my butternut squash, carrots, and onions. The basil has been superb in my omelets and the mint is fabulous in my tea!

I am thinking the mint will also be a nice addition to some vanilla ice cream....yum.

I AM LIKE THIS.

Sometimes, as an actor in New York, I feel like this TV that was outside my building.

"I work. Please take me."
