it is not impossible, just improbable

I know I am a bright, beautiful, talented, divinely created woman. I also realize I am a very silly girl. For this I am both sorry for and love myself for. I am sorry for my silliness because it often leads to disappointment, I believe the improbable to be possible quite readily. On the flip, I love myself for it because the improbable is not impossible which people who have lost their silliness often forget.



Impossible, for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage?
Impossible, for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage?
And four white mice will never be four white horses?
Such falder-all-and-fiddle-dee-dee of course is impossible!

But the world is full of zanies and fools, Who don't believe in sensible rules, And won't believe what sensible people say, And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes, Impossible things are happening everyday!

Shrimp Diablo

Yum! My friend Tarah came over and I made a special topping for our fresh pasta. Sautéed shrimp in a spicy buttery sauce.

I took two shakes of ground cayenne pepper and put it into hot olive oil in a skillet. Tossed in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic two Anaheim chili peppers and one seraño chili (diced) and a pint of sliced mushrooms. I let that cook for a bit then added a pound of shrimp. Once the shrimp was cooked I threw in a diced tomato, two tablespoons of butter 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan and 1 teaspoon of salt. Let that puppy simmer til it was nice and tasty and viola!
Picture to come later :-) Enjoy!!

Wine #3

Simi Landslide Cabernet. We had a wine tasting on this guy at work the other day so I thought I'd pass on the knowledge of a professional wine-o :-).

The Simi winery was opened by two brothers in the late 19th century Sonoma Valley California. They left the business to their daughter/niece who continued the family tradition. She successfully made it trough prohibition using a sacramental permit. After prohibition she opened the fist wine tasting rooms in Sonoma Valley using one of her room sized redwood barrels (which I really hope will exists because I would LOVE to see that someday!).
Cabernet being a thicker skinned grape is higher in tannins than other grapes which leaves the dry taste on your tongue. This Cabernet has lovely blackberry hints with some spice black pepper on the finish.
Now...how fancy do I sound? Lol. It actually is a nice wine and since it was grown in a location where at one point there was a landslide it's a bit earthy. Cool eh?

Wine #2

Since I've been broke lately I've been trying lovely $10 bottles of wine. And I have to say I love this vintner! I had their zinfandel at SPIN Pizza the other day and thoroughly enjoyed this cab. Robust, sweet and leaves subtle aftertaste. Almost sweet.

Wine #1

Full bodied. Lots of strength to this wine. Very peppery. Pair with steak, bolognese or lasagna.
