writing is a form of THERAPY

You are there. I am here. And I am thinking.

I am thinking about you. About me, too. I wonder by any chance, you might be thinking about me, too.

But you're not. So here I am collecting mind dust. It might not be the best of things to do, but it is something.

I wish I was a little kid again...skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.

I dropped a tear in the ocean - when I find it is the day I'll stop loving you.

If I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put "u" and "I" together.

Food that I like


Spicy Meatballs

Taken from FHM. Good for quick bites.

300grams ground beef
Handful fresh mint
Handful fresh parsley
1 onion
Garlic
1 Egg
Breadcrumbs
Paprika
Crushes red chili flakes
Cinnamon
Salt and pepper

Dice union, saute lightly without colour. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Finely chop mint and parsley. Mix all ingredients together. Lightly form walnut size balls. Dont compact balls heavily while forming. The meat will stay light and tender. Place onto oven pan and hold until ready to cook.

Broil in oven for 10 minutes.



Roased Potatoes

Taken from FHM too, same issue.

Organic red potatoes
Garlic
Olive oil
Japanese Mayo
Salt and pepper
Cut potatoes into manageable sizes. Place onto over pan, drizzle olive oil add plenty of salt and pepper. Cut top off garlic bulb. Add a small amount of olive oil and wrap in tin foil. Roast for 50 minutes at 200 degrees.

When the roasted garlin comes out of the oven, the texture will be smooth and creamy. Squeeze bulb into bowl with mayo mix together and spoon over the top of hot roasted potatoes. The creamy mix will melt straight into the potatoes.
