I <3 Carbs

Post By: Lady A

A special thanks goes out to Mrs.Bee for gifting me the "I *heart carbs" pin back in 2006

this morning while on the R, i thanked the powers above that i am short and small and able to squeeze in a full train.

as i stepped out at the 59th st stop and rushed to the 6, someone grabbed onto my shoulder, i was ready to turn around and use my purse to beat them to a bloody pulp, when i noticed a cute suit holding onto my long opera length knit glove (gloves really hate me right now-what did i do to them!! ugh)

so convo:

Me: *takes off ear bud(the smiths blaring) "yes?"

Him:"Sorry didnt mean to scare you, here. " *hands over glove

Me:*fumbles "umm thanks"-turn to walk away

Him:excuse me! umm would you like to go out sometime, like for Italian, pasta?

Me: *confused look, "Umm sure" find pen/paper jot down number "why pasta?"

Him:I read your pin, I love carbs too!

Me:*confused

Him: *points to neck scarf

Me: "haha i am sorry-i forgot i had that one on"

he walked me down towards paperlandia.

*le sigh he will be PastaBoy

ok never in all my years have i been approached like that! thanks for jumping ship GreenGlove!

First Date Down.101 to go!

Post By:Lady A

all went well. conversation flowed. chocolate fondue was shared. 

Lady N made funny comments and gave him a "10".

  he ordered some lovely proseco. 

so why am i not into him?

i didn't get any tummy-flies. i need the tummy flies.

and he didn't even try to kiss me. but he may have just been proper.

i got this from Lady N today:

"Lady A,
Ok- thought you might want to see this : )
Even though you weren't that into him, sometimes it's very flattering to
know that someone is very into you : )

How's your day going? Any more OtherTONY updates?"

"Lady N,

Just wanted to say thanks again for making an amazing night just that more
memorable. The fondue was second to the sweetness of Lady A!! (cheesy I
know) She has a great friend and thanks for putting her up to this! (the
Tony's personal ad that is)

Ciao
Creme Brulee "

I was chatting with QueensPunkTourGuideBoy today, telling him about my highs and low last night, and i told him that i gave my "date" a b-day card since his bday is monday. My friend in so many words said i am too nice and give too much too soon. basically i am a card whore. and while its a nice gesture, peeps may read into it too much.

of course i have to like the guys who DONT put effort into me. i was crushed last night and technology & time was my enemy. I lost my temper. i rarely lose my temper anymore, i try to just view things for how they are and not waste my energy being mad. i mean come on there are wars and what not going on in the world-why should i get mad because i am in brooklyn at 1am and my calls are not being answered????? 

i wish i could just like the nice guys who order prosecco and laugh at my stupid jokes. 

BUT NO

i have to like the guys who i go out of my way for, and who have yet to truly take me anywhere.

:( bleh.

i need tummy flips if its going to work. if i try to make it work with no tummy flips, there is a good chance i may cheat on the person. and i am not a cheater-so lets not go down that path.

[the Giant gives me tummy flips, and i even have become nervous when cooking for him. (thats another sign that i am into boys-when i get nervous cooking for them)]

Oatmeal Bacon Cookies(w/chocolate) vs. Creme Brulee

Post By:Lady A

so i know everyone has been telling me i am freaking out over all this for no reason.

i wish everyone could have peaked into my email pre-deletes- the emails were long,charming,witty and LONG

i decided before i started hearing *you got mail: that i would respond to everyone that emailed me, seriously thinking that i would get 5 tops/and even less once i saw the picture they picked of me *ick

but i got a ton more than i expected. so sitting down to write, i didn't want to come off as generic and wanted to respond properly.

that sorta took a toll on me. i know i "blog" about my life-truth is i keep sooooo much hidden. even my closest dearest friends have to still sit me down and pry information on how i feel. so it was hard having to share myself over and over again with each email. i would rather keep undressing and dancing in pasties and boy shorts with stockings and garters than email about myself.

the last few days i have been corresponding the most with two suitors.  they both love food

one was a chef for a few years in Italy (yeah amazing right??) when asked what his specialty is he responded with :creme brulee made with lemon zest and fresh vanilla beans: 

*my sister-cio-pets response: "does he like depeche mode-if so marry him"

the second suitor is a hyper ball of energy and by peaking at his flickr is well traveled and loves to experiment and cook. when he first shared his food pictures with me (which i guess i was more interested in seeing then of him- i am such a fat girl)  I saw the pictures and feared that he may not be red meat friendly (yeah i think it may be a deal breaker in my book) but he sent me the picture below,which is Oatmeal/Chocolate/Smoked Bacon 

so on just that alone kids i pose you this question:

oatmeal bacon cookies vs. creme brulee

btw:both these guys are in their 20's. i have not dated someone so close to my age in forever!

Love, Lady A

Lady A's Last Meal...

Post By: Lady A

I have cheated. when asked by my suitors how i would answer the question i changed it each time depending my mood. only certain things changed. so with that this is the one down and true answer:

Location: Namiquipa, Chihuahua, Mexico- Abuela Lupe's home, the courtyard (when it was all still there) i would love a crisp summer/fall day.

Time: (yes time) it would start at 1pm-9am following morning 

(btw everyone has been so morbid about reflecting and what not. somehow i just assumed it would be a huge party and i would just go home make love to my husband have him hold me and i would just never wake up-poor him he will need therapy and need to be a strong man!)

Who: Moo,Cio,PapaFrita & both sides of the family (plenty of alcohol will have to be around)

My friends, true friends, my plus one and any minis we would have created together.

Setting: long wooden tables and chairs in "el patio" candles everywhere in mason jars, fresh wild flower cut on every table, at least 4 bottles on each table at all times, Vino Tinto, Vino Verdhe y una Tequila-muy fina. (Cio-pet would choose the wines, and my Tio's the tequila)

I would want Music constantly, starting with a serenata brought to me by my husband as my 'mocos bring me cafe de la olla and a pan dulce and watch the marachis from the balcony of Tia Tere's home. 

Music at the feast of St.Lali :) would be a mash up of everything i love, but during the meal i would like tangos/flamenco and old school mexican marachi songs.  all live

ok now the feast, in no real order:

fresh tortillas-corn & flour

fresh crema

chicken hearts and gizzards in a tomato sauce

steak (med-rare for me)

tamales-all flavors made by Tia Malena

mole-all flavors

veggies of all forms how ever my tias would want to prep them

a lamb and pig roasted

arroz primavera

arroz mexicano

frijoles rancheros (made by moo)

roasted corn

roasted green onions

avocados

parilla de carne made by Abuelito Ernesto

salsas de todo

enchiladas

taquitos

flautas

 (ok this list is not even 1/2 way done-but all Mexican treats made by my family)

dessert-cio would have to make some apple crisp thingy, preserved peaches and apricots and sweet lil rolls. chocolate mint cake from moo, fresh ice cream from dad-vanilla and pistachio flavors. crepes with bananas and nutella, something decadent from NeighborBride.

ok and for the hangover everyone will have-menudo

i would sneak off at times with my husband to make love down by the river, in the woods, basically anywhere we wont get caught, but at 4 am when everyone is soo piss drunk- i would check on my mini's kiss them good night and know that their father and their Tia Cio will care for them always. My husband and i would retreat to a small house where the room will be filled with candles and the bed nice and big so we can make love one last time. and before i head off to sleep sip on crema de membrillo and feed each other fruits in between kisses. 

i have put way too much thought into this, and am way too sappy right now (not even on the rag!) 

i just love food so much!!!

Last Meal Response

Post by: Lady N

The answer to Lady A's question:

"If you could plan your last meal, what would it be? who would prepare it? who would you share it with? where would you have it? and why to all of the above"

My last meal would definitely be steak, medium rare (don't most death row inmates choose this also? I'm so cliche), mash potatoes with salt and pepper, baked potato, sunny side up eggs, and 2 boiled eggs. Does that sound weird? I really love potatoes and eggs. And fish sauce for my boiled eggs. I'm not sure, with this meal, if anyone would want to spend the day with me. Actually, I'm a little saddened by the fact that I can't think of someone I would want to spend my last day with. Whoever this person is would also be the person who prepares the meal because I think I would be too impatient. Maybe I would choose the guy dubbed Greatest Sex Ever...since I would obvi need to have a lot of sex before I go. And some kisses on my back. All of this would take place at a cliff-side bungalow overlooking the ocean on Koh Tao, Thailand. Mmmmm....

This would actually also work well as a first date. I would just replace the location with...my apartment.

Well, I'll start my answer by telling you all what Bourdain's last meal would be; The roasted bone marrow at St. John restaurant in London.

I'm more of a breakfast person really so I would say that my last meal would be a 'Baliada' which is a concoction made up of a flour tortilla, refried red beans, and mantequilla crema (similar to sour cream). Sometimes scrambled eggs are added as well. It's a simple yet amazingly delicious meal. Others would call it hangover food. Similar to that 3am slice of pizza you have after a night of debauchery. I would share it with my family and friends of course and I would most likely eat it on the sofa watching Rock of Love Bus.


If I were to ask my potential suitors one question it would be :

Marty Mcfly lent you the keys to the DeLorean. Where in time are you taking me on our first date?
