It is a woman's world

It is really the girls that choose men, as it also is in nature. So why this entire charade about girls trying to buy expensive clothes, make-up and all the other stuff they need to make them hot? Well, it is not really for us guys either. That is also for them. They are just making us believe that they buy all of that stuff to make us like them, whereas they have us buy those just so they feel good about themselves. So, it is a lie that it is a man’s world. As very successful liars, making us believe whatever we want to, so that we would do whatever they want us to, women lead the world.

When you meet a girl, the girl has already decided if you are in the range of her abilities to make you like her, and if you are good enough for her. After that, it is just a matter of actually making that happen. We think we “get” the girls, we think we “made the girl fall for us”, whereas we are falling for their schemes.

MEN EVERYWHERE, UNITE, AND WAKE UP!

R(a/u)mblings

There are times, one likes to write things down


But does not know in which direction to go

Go sideways and make it a sentence

Or down and call it a poem

It is easy to write a poem when you forget about the punctuations. But as for how to sate one’s mind of the writing desire, well that is another question. When the feeling comes, doesn’t matter if you are frustrated or sad, you just start writing or miss the stop. Sometimes, I don’t know what I would like to give away to the reader, maybe I am just writing for myself, and sharing them with people just to hear the gratifications. Come to think of it, that actually suits my personality pretty damn well. I am, after all, all about me.

Ahh, if only that were true, and I was as selfish as I looked. But I am not only a coward, but too concerned about others to bother anyone not close to me. That is probably why I look very selfish to people close to me, as I abuse them so.

Crusted Chicken

So, I went to a cooking class in Sur La Table, Cooking 101: Proteins. It was a really good class, which taught me, among many things, how to bread a protein, and cook it. So, I decided to give it a try:
We have the flour mixed with salt and other spices here..


Then, here you can see the egg wash, with just a tiny bit of milk
Here is the bread crumbs. I had to heavily toast 2 slices of bread, and reduce it to crumbs to get this.

And here you see the chicken , first applied flour, then the egg wash, and finally the bread crumbs. It is frying/being seared on  a hot pan with  olive oil in it. I cooked it until it became golden brown-ish. Do not mind the black looking  bread crumbs, they were already like that out of the toaster.
Yup, that is me, posing like a real chef, with my towel on my shoulder, as I have seen other chefs put their towels there.


 And finally, me displaying my chicken, after cooking the chicken in the oven until it became safely above 165F inside.

Snowshoe

So, I was at Snowshoe Mountain last weekend. I met with Pamir to ski there over the weekend, but could not ski on the second day, since I pretty much used up all my lifeforce on the first day. So I wanted to save some energy for the 6 hour drive back, and decided it would be much comfortable and safer if I left early without skiing the second day.

 This is as I am driving to West Virginia from Columbus, Ohio. I got a speeding ticket on the way. I was caught with 73mph on a 55mph zone.
 A long and boring way, no wonder I got a ticket.
 Yay! Having so much fun! Finally skiing on a real mountain!
 I saw this on the hill, when we were going back to our hotel. Pamir said, there was a Dutch architect that does similar houses, maybe this could be one of his designs. It looked interesting.
This is at the Snowshoe Village center. It seemed like an okay place. Not too much fun.. Well actually, it depends on your company, and how crowded you are..
 On my way back home.. I took US 50 West. What would you choose? pfft.. Lame crossroad comments  :)
That is another bridge. Bridges kinda attracted my attention as I was driving. I am not sure why.. Maybe talking to all these architects, I got a little bit interested in the subject matter.
