hey does anyone have a good recipe for meat loaf?
i thought i'd made this up myself, but i checked and it's all over the net... but not quite like mine! HA!
teryaki meatloaf!
ground beef, pretty lean
egg, crushes crackers, chopped pineapple, colored peppers, onions, garlic chopped chunky
teryaki marinade, cheap crap. i use this:
http://www.amazon.com/World-Harb-Teriyaki-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B000HZIJD8
goop the marinade all over top, as well, to make a seal
cook it!
additions: i wanna try some ginger next time, that can't hurt
My sister-in-law made a meatloaf that I really liked:
She sauteed finely chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic until soft (they were super small). Let that mixture cool. Combine a little parm cheese, rehydrated porcini mushrooms, 1 egg, parsley, Worcestershire and grey poupon. Add the onion mixture and combine well. Combine that mixture with your beef/pork with your hands and form it into a log on a sheet pan. My sister topped it with ketchup, I might use tomato sauce, but that's up to you, just top it with something. Bake for like 30 minutes at 350.
poor nick hogan
what kind of world do we live in?! owen wilson tried to kill himself yesterday. sheeesh!!! maybe he was upset that he didn't get to see Matt in Hawaii.
OK kam, you gave me the laugh i desperately needed this morning. i know its not supposed to be a funny situation. but you know how to word things.
maybe he watched "The Big Bounce" and realized how stupid it was
or maybe cause kate hudson is w/someone else?
ohhh man so excited to hang out with you
this makes me sad...very, very sad.
hi
The short answer... cancer, death, (touch of depression) etc.
I need a distraction that will keep my mind off all the heinous stuff. I need fluff right now.
How about this anecdote:
Our bookstudy had hospitality this afternoon, and since we have bethelites in the cong, they often stop by for food on their way back to bethel (because they've missed dinner by the time they get home).
So we had a really nice time; just about everyone showed up at 3:30 or so, and we ate, drank and were merry. We were expecting one of the bethelite couples to stop by, and at about 6, they finally did.
The sister walked in and said hello to everyone, and one of the other sisters commented on the fact that her hair was messy and actually had some twigs in it. She said, "What were you and Tom doing before you came here? Were you rolling around together somewhere?"
Everyone burst out laughing (I love that this hall isn't easily offended). And the bethelite sister said back, "I don't have time for that kind of stuff - I'm way too old!" Uproarious laughter.
I'm sorry to hear that :(
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'll try to come up with something distracting for you
:-) ty
hey man, it's good to see you on here! sorry you've been dealing with some stuff
ugh, I feel your pain, I've had some rough times lately (within the last 6 months). You'll be in my prayers. Just stick close to your brothers. Be where they are, against all your natural inclinations. You are loved by your brothers, and more importantly by Jehovah. He knows what you're going through better than any of us. Rely on him.
(usually you know all the things I've mentioned above, but it's always reassuring to hear them from someone else. Hang in there. Don't let Satan keep you down.)
If I'm consistently inconsistent, am I really consistent?
i almost died laughing when reading this:
Jersey Shore: The Poor Man's Vacation Destination
The Jersey Shore has actual sand and a real ocean, just like every other vacation destination. But, its sand and ocean just happen to be—unlike other "good" destinations—littered with syringes and Red Bull cans. At normal beaches, if you wait long enough, you may catch a glimpse of a dolphin, majestically leaping out of the ocean. In New Jersey, you are guaranteed to see no less than two fights, enough Gotti-wannabe’s to stage an all-guido remake of 300, and an assortment of less-than-stellar sandcastles that are really more cigarette butt than sand.
The ludicrously high number of syringes would lead one to sensibly conclude that every male on the Jersey Shore is either on steroids (presumably because they wanted to get their money's worth on the "$50-per-each-additional inch of barbed wire tattoo" deal at the parlor on the boardwalk) or heroin (presumably because they like heroin).
i wonder what beach they're talking about. i've seen dolphins in wildwood before, and i saw a seal at island beach state park last year. "the jersey shore" is a pretty big generalization. maybe they're talking about seaside
did they even have fins or eyes? LOL
I'm off to Florida, talk to you guys when I get back.
have a good time, buddy
big mac museum?? http://www.wpxi.com/news/13946963/detail.html?taf=burg
Linds - when i say your last name in my head I say it Timon like Timon and Pumba. Ya.
how does my last name sound in your head?
depends on who says it. Maria has a spanish accent.
I should start spelling it different!
When I start teaching I'm going to spell it on the board like "Thai-man" because that's how I say it (though I think it's really supposed to be more like "Ty-mahn" but my way looks more fun, yeah?).
this picture might be inappropriate? haha i duno delete it if you don't like it. I think this guy is my hero.
someone photoshop Ian's face on that, stat
im excited about this! but it'll be 2015 by the time the project is finished (lol)
THE ORANGE COUNTY GREAT PARK PLAN WILL TRANSFORM THE FORMER MARINE CORPS AIR STATION EL TORO INTO AMERICA'S LARGEST METROPOLITAN PARK.
In 1993, the federal government told The Marine Corps to abandon the El Toro Airbase. Residents of Orange County, California, have been debating about future use of the crisscrossing runways and the valuable surrounding open space. Many residents wanted to see a commercial airport at El Toro. After several ballot initiatives and lawsuits it was decided that the former El Toro Airbase be converted to America's largest public Open Space: The Great Park. Larger than Central Park, NYC and Golden Gate Park, SF put together, this tranistional space brings much debate to this county. Located in the middle of America's 3rd most densely populated county, the Park will connect with forests and open space to the north and south making it possible to hike all the way from the beach to the mountains through a continuous corridor of green.
I think brotherman just might have a heart attack when he reads this.
why? cause el toro marine base is no more?
because it's in a metropolitan area!
Haha... You are funny Ian.
one of the elders in my hall is SO funny. i was ordering the new DVD and he was helping out in the bookroom and was talking to everyone in line and kept forgetting everyones name. so it was my turn and he's all "heyyyy sister....sister....sister dos equis. um wait, sister pacifico" i was laughing so hard at this time and he snaps his fingers and he's all "SISTER CORONA!!! i could not think of the right mexican beer!" LOL
cute!
btw, this is an actual robot thingy.. not available commercially yet, tho
that's what i look like when i dance. i'm serious. i love this song too. this band always has excellant use of snaps and claps.
Juicy!!! Change your phone messages stat!!!
hey hi huh what. oh. phone. where is that thing. geez. ok. here it is.
Thanks :) I'll probably call you later when I'm done having my panic attack.
i was talking to my gf he other day, the one who needed blood and almost died because she refused a blood transfusion (shes doing SO well now btw) anyway she was telling me how freaky it was because when there were no family members or friends in sight, the nurses and dr would lean into her and whisper "please take the blood, just take a little. we promise we wont say a single word to anyone"
satan was SO behind that! EWWWWW
Eww that is so insanely creepy!!
Awesome for your friend for standing strong :)
i know, i was SO Weirded out. she said "how do you think i feel" lol
and YES! thanks to jah she def was strong! she was literally only giving a 2 percent chance to live.
yeah, that happened to my buddy recently. insane.
wow im sorry. is he ok now?
ehhh, he's better. i mean, he survived and all, but he's still recovering. he suffered severe internal injuries in a car wreck. he was in a coma for 6 weeks. he's still weak and enduring intestinal issues due to the trauma and subsequent removal of damaged portions of his organs. at the convention this weekend he had to be taken to the ER because of severe abdominal pain. it's a really tough situation, but he's got his friends there for him, 100%.
OH WOW. im so sorry. and he was at the convention too the past weekend?
since he was in the coma for a good chunk of time, does he have issues remembering things? or doing certain things?
i clearly already dominated glacier surfing.
girls and metros, need an opinion:

what are your thoughts on me wearing this dress to a wedding late next month?
frest, that'll look SO good on you!
*i LOVE the dress!!
I already have it. I'm just wondering if it's "enough" for a wedding. Incidently, it's way less preppy on my figure.
are you accenting w/gold?
absolutely
too bad we dont live closer, i have these strappy gold stilletos that have gold and like a coppery tint strap too em that would look HOT w/that dress!
ohhhh those sound hot. listen I got some gold sandals not long ago. I'm gonna take a phone pic and send it to you...
aweseome! i totally want to see!
this is actually extremely similiar to a dress i'm wearing to a wedding next week. except it doesn't have ruching around the midsection. crazy. i think its a perfect wedding dress. i'm jazzing it up with this turquiose jewelry.
anybody selling or giving away giants/jets tickets for saturday?
soooo i beleive the yankees were beat by the angels...18-9 WOW.
Glacier surfing : http://www.glaciersurfing.com/
OMG this looks SO rad!! i want to try it! i'll be scared but i DEF want to try it!!
man, it totally pays to complain. this past weekend in DC we stayed at this hotel called L'Enfant Plaza Hotel. It was a 4 star hotel that we got a good deal on from Travelzoo. $109/night.
so there were all these little issues, like we got two doubles beds instead of a king bed, the tub was clogged, random stuff.
so i wrote a stern email and we got two nights free in a better room! woohoo!
(I really liked the location of the hotel because the metro was right below us so we didn't have to drive anywhere, so that's why i requested a free stay rather than a refund)
Vincent Price narrates a Tim Burton short!
Due to the rigors involved in touring, Amy Winehouse has been advised to postpone her upcoming September US and Canadian tour dates. All ticket holders may obtain refunds at their point of purchase. Amy’s European and UK tour dates in October and November remain in place. Plans are being made to reschedule her US tour for early 2008. Until then, Amy has been ordered to rest and is working with medical professionals to address her health.
POO
she seems so weak and lame. i'm thinking she's gonna die young.
anddd she's a one trick pony. not terribly talented. when her lil well dries up and everyones sick of that retro sound, she'll fall off the wagon and kill herself with those poisons she loves so much.
agree
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
bbbwhat?!?! but what about paolo nutini? i really wanted to see him too. will they just cancel the show all together?someone shove a double hamburger down her throat. that would make her better.

hi everyone... Dan kept telling me about the birth of red sweater so I wanted to log on and see how everyone is. Helllllooo out there. We have been googling our names at work today in rain protest.
HEY LADY!! i cant wait to see you guys!!!
I know! Me too. We are so stoked. I even made an itinerary of the trip - so not like me. But we don't wanna miss anything.
*wink*
yo cut it out!
Beardy Dan, you are so cute when your throwin' the smack down.
okay, for realz, i'm DONE with this rain!!! DONE!!!
the dog hasn't had a proper walk in DAYS because it's just pouring nonstop
this means he is MAD HYPER
you think I'm hyper, you should see the dog
geez
i'm trying to take up his time by teaching him English - he learned "speak" yesterday. However the mental challenges are not enough. he needs his walks. Ugh!
we might get a small break from it tomorrow! I'm just glad I'm not in Mexico for the hurricane.
I had a really lame dream last night that I slept with a hair tie in. When I woke up and took it out, all my hair went along with it...so I had to get a GI Jane.
heh this is pretty weird/morbid but i have the New York Post from when Princess Diana died - her funeral - it says "memorial keepsake" on top of the cover.. i bought it thinking in 10 or 20 years it might be worth something.
haha
so it's 10 years, i think i'm gonna put it up on Ebay.
profiting off of the death of a princess, that's the #2 step in thai's profit thingie
Morbid no. I have the limited Edition People magazine from way back when about her death too. Also the complete set of Rolling Stones when NSync each had their own cover.
lol wow!
i miss you. how have you been?
i am going to find these and burn them. N-Sync was NOT mentioned when we were dating.
so. anyone looking for a new job? anyone thinking about pioneering? anyone know anybody who fits both of these descriptions? I know a sister who's looking for someone to do a job in the mendham area. It probably pays decently, it involves kids. 3 days a week, from 1-7pm. Send me a private message if you want to know more, and I'll give you some contact info.
bump!
forreste, i think i'm going this weekend... staying at the sheraton
nice! you will get to see papa valenti.
anyone going to convention in Reading this weekend? I might go with my parents on Saturday.
WordPad > Notepad
that's like saying general diarrhea is better than ringworm
ha well it is!
I just ate a lunchable for lunch. I feel like a 14 year old.
I've never had a lunchable. I made grilled cheese cos it's raining. I didn't have time for tomato soup. :( My little sister just woke up and couldn't figure out why I would make a sandwich with olive oil spread and cheese.
mm, that sounds good! wait, how can you not have time for tomato soup? like, the campbells condesed soup? or do you mean making it from scratch??
Campbells. But my dog was being cute that he was distracting me from eating.
my coworkers lunch smells like fish food
i'm only happy when it rains
i put the yum in delirium
hahahahhahahaha

Some things learned while in Kentucky:
- The food is horrendous
- Even if you have Analog phone service, you still cant send text messages
- People who live in trailers even think they need to simplify their life
- The Baptist and the Pentecostals will test your Bible knowledge
- People actually stand by the long conclusion in Mark 16 for a basis for their faith
- If you dont have an SUV you cant reach some of the houses/trailers
- Old tires make great flower pots in the front lawn
- They are in absolutely no rush, so you can stay at the door for hours
- When driving off on one of the dirt side roads, you may just end up in a marijuana plantation, at which point you turn the vehicle around and get out of there before you get shot
- Yes even the 12 year old sons have rifles that they play with
- When having a pet wolf, make sure it is chained up because it will kill everything
- The highest paid jobs are coal miners at a whopping $25 an hour
- Walmart is open 24/7 and it is the social life after 9pm
- The locals dont know how beautiful a golf course they have down there
- Rattlesnakes and Copperheads are poisonous and are in the high grass
- You will eventually begin your presentation with "How Y'All doin round here??" and than say to yourself, did I just speak like a southerner??
- Sonic shakes ARE good
- The Cumberland Gap is beautiful
- You begin to value every single tooth in your mouth
- I cant believe they still have a dry county
- Even the most unlivable trailers will have a satellite dish hooked up to it
- I love NJ
Haha, coulda been a journal. Very nice.
First of all YOU ROCK and you really should do a journal expounding upon the more memorable aspects of the trip, that'd be awesome!
Second of all WELCOME THE HECK BACK!!!! :)
My aunt just came back to only her group went to seldom worked territory in Massachusetts.
coal miners at a whopping $25 an hour
That's because they risk their lives everyday like those Utah miners caught in that collapse on the 6th...poor guys hard working family men:(
Did you guys take pix???
wow there really is a place called kentucky? lol jk
this is def great and 5-0 is roght, def journal material!
the walmart reference made me laugh. one of my co-workers lived in oklahoma (born and raised) and while we were all chatting i had to ask "did you hang out at the local walmart you crazy party animals?" lol
wow, you learned a lot of stuff ... sounds like a productive trip. Welcome back.
THIS IS NOW A JOURNAL STORY
THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
i'm so tired of people always talking about fantasy football/fantasy baseball, and people always asking me if i "play". Listen that's not a sport, it's a freaking waste of lame time!
If there was a fantasy "winter x-games" pool or fantasy "gadget of the month" pool, i'd do that. haha. for like 3 minutes
IAWTP
I want a pet spider and a pet monkey. Maybe even a spider/monkey. No, not the one you're thinking of. Believe me.
see, im not the only one who wants a monkey as a pet! my friends make fun of me cause i want a monkey.
I would speak to my monkey like he was a man.
See, now... David Lynch is an abstract, transcendental filmmaker. His films don't make real, true sense to anyone. I love his stuff, but I admit to not "getting" it at all. By the same token, my monkey would look at me like I was David Lynch. I like the sound of that.
how about this? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20321234/
LUA right on sinatra drive is amazing. It's right on the water.
If you have anything.. Get the Filet Mignon ... it could only be better if Giada Laurentis fed it to me. Lua is definately one of my favorits in hoboken
Arthurs steaks is just a good place to eat lots of meat and lots of Liter beers.
do not seek shelter when the sky drizzles upon your path, you'll get wetter beneath the branches of your favorite tree.
dude i cant go for houuuurrsssssssss!
hahahaha, that doesn't get old
is this kapust??
bro, is it me, or has your wife gotten hotter?
Most certainly she has. Although she was hot to start with, time is obviously her friend.
*emphatically nods head*
what's with the comment on my beard!?! after i gave you my badge card holder!
Haha! I really appreciated that, man! I felt like a kindergartener with that safety pin! Left my badge card holder right on the breakfast table... but Beardy Danny came through. Thanks buddy.
oh man you're harsh. i'm on a schedule and you're trying to mess it up for me.
kap who?
so my co-worker is annoyed at me cause i didnt compliment her on her new hair color. she was a cherry red and went totally blond. i couldn't compliment her...i dont like it. it washes her out.
ugh SO over this icky weather!!
good restaurants in Hoboken for after the convention?
I love Satay's - inexpensive Thai Food
there's also a japanese restaurant lauren and I love, it has some netting out front, called Robongi, get the beef negemaki for appetizer, number 18 SOOOO GOOD
Also a mexican joint called East LA -ahhhhhhhhhh my mouth is watering, I could eat their chips and salsa every day
ones that are old and tired
it's greek to me
haha thats rad...a mexican rest. called east LA.
it's greek to me is really good (and I'm a tough audience!) they have lots of veggie stuff mikayla might like.
Haven't been there yet. I'd like to go. My friend said the selection isn't very interesting. Still, I'm a greek food fan. Yum.
I've been to the one up in Bergen - I assume it's the same owner? It wasn't a huge menu, but I thought it was good. Family style greek food is really simple - lemon, oregano, dill, tomatoes - these are my favorites.
yeah they raised the prices recently. now it's totally not worth it. $14.95 for a gyro? come on!
wow...that's nuts!
Wow - then forget it, that's way too much.
well, that's including a gyro and fries. a plain gyro is $7.50 and a "platter with fries is $15.95!
menu is here - http://www.itsgreektome-taverna.com/MENU.pdf
Co-signing East LA! Delish, great dishes, margaritas, atmosphere.
Also Buskers Bar and Grill. Went there Friday with my lil mom. Great pasta dishes. I had the fish and chips with a Smithwicks & Guiness black and tan. I just sat there and shook my head... at how good it was. Nice dark, woody, irishy atmosphere.
I can agree all the recommendations so far are awesome! I've got two I like right in Jersey City...Light Horse Tavern or Wild Fusion
Wild Fusion was yummy!
oh man I could watch giada laurentiis cook for hourrrrs
haha
Sooooo, me & Austin went to DC this weekend. My mom informed me that they took us there when i was like 10, but i don't have much memory of it. But it was awesome! We did a lot.
Hung out at Federal Triangle the first night, dinner, drinks. Saturday-saw all the major monuments-Lincoln Memorial (most impressive) Washington Monument, WWII memorial, White House, Capital Building, etc.
After we went to the International Spy Museaum. It was really cool & interactive. When you entered you were assigned a cover that you had to stick by. And it showed all the neat spy gadgets and stuff.
We went to dinner at a French restaurant in Georgetown and then to a piano bar for drinks where everyone was belting out Billy Joel tunes. Fun times.
Sunday, woke up late then went to the Holocaust Museaum. It was pretty heart wrenching, but I shouldnt have dreaded it the way I did.
It was weird in the museaum shop they had all this Purple Triangle Memorabilia and stuff that said "Jehovah's Witnesses" on it.
I think the write ups they have on JW's must be really interesting for people because it is not really well known. They kept making mention to the fact that JW's were voluntary priosoners. Isn't that so crazy and faith strengthening? After you read about and see all the atrocities that took place at these concentration camps and to know our brothers could have left by renouncing their faith, and only a very small number did. wow. Only true faith can get you through that.
Anyways, fun weekend overall. And DC is only 90 minutes from our house! Cool stuff. Oh, and the metro system is great and really easy to use to get around. Driving was a little bit difficult.
I know this was really long. Sorry.
i want to go to the international spy museum so bad! Lauren and I were watching Giada De Laurentiis and she went - I was totally jealous.
haha, i love Giada! Oh, actually i forgot to mention we went to the Farmers Market in Dupont Circle that she mentioned in that DC show. Good tips, Giada.
we were at the ivy in Beverly Hills the other day and she (giada) was lunching there too.
