Happy Birthday To Me…
It was my 31st birthday yesterday and as a treat my rents said they would take me anywhere I wanted for a meal. I chose the cool retro American Diner on the A19, near to where I live. Their milkshakes are amazing.
Meat Free Mondays #3.
In an attempt in frugality I've been trying to use up items in my cupboards/freezer that I've had for ages in the hope that it will a) save me money and b) force me to try different things. I seem to be one of these people who always seem to have a lot of food in their cupboards yet continue to buy more "just in case". In case of what who knows? For the sake of argument my excuse is that I'm stock piling in case of a zombie apocalypse.
This week I noticed I had a tub of breadcrumbs and a pack of firm tofu that were nearing their best before date so these have obviously been the foundation of this week's MFM. After a quick internet search I decided on this only I used a lot more olive oil, 3/4 of a tin of chopped tomatoes (instead of the tomato sauce) and grated mild cheddar (I had no mozzarella). Those of you who are on a diet I apologise as this is definitley not for you (I didn't even try to point it). Same goes to the vegans (due to the cheese). In my opinion this has been the best meal I've ever had with tofu in it as the base ingredient, it was utterly delicious and I will definitley be making this again in the future.
Seriously it was that good I had seconds.
Napalm Death @ Independent 15/01/10.
First gig of the year I've had a photo pass for. It was a great gig with the exception of some supporting burlesque act who thought it was great to throw milk all over the stage before Napalm went on (seriously at a grindcore gig???). Needless to say Barney wasn't too impressed, being the animal activist/veggie he is. The rest of the photos can be found here.
Wardrobe Wednesday…
I've been meaning to take photos of the contents of my handbag for some time now after being inspired by certain Flickr pools such as "What's in your bag?" and "What's REALLY in your bag?". I finally got round to taking such photo's last night. I may do my DJ bag in a future post.
If you click on the links you'll be taken to the individual Flickr pages which has notes over each individual item if you are that nosy you need to know what every single item is.
Happy New Year.
I'm not a great fan of New Years to be honest. I don't get the whole "but it's a chance to wipe the slate clean and start again" mentality. As far as I'm concerned you get that very same chance every day when you wake up.
NYE was spent DJing and it seemed to go pretty well. Lots of people having fun, lots of smiles and dancing which was nice. Woke up yesterday, surprisingly hangover free, however everyone else seemed to be worse for the wear so I spent the first day of 2010 bored and on my own. By 6pm I was going stir crazy so decided to go for a walk with my camera as I'd been meaning to try and take some photos of the Christmas lights before they were taken down. Pretty much a lonely start to 2010 if I'm honest but I didn't expect anything else.
I didn't take as many photo's as I would have liked because I always get nervous wandering Sunderland on my own with my camera in the dark. I'm a big wuss.
Hello.
