The holidays were good and as u may or may not know im not a big fan of the holidays. I dont know where or when i lost it but somewhere down the line i lost it and it has yet to resurface. I LOVE X-mas eve though, its my favorite holiday-why u ask? simple- good food!..LOBSTER tails and pasta- does life get any better? well YES!!!! I must tell u about the meal i had yesterday. My brothers and i (and brooke- my oldest bros g/f) went to my cousins house to have a dinner with the cousins (raquel/dom, and phyllis/richie), roslyn and rob couldnt make it i guess. Now my cousin Raquel and her husband Domminic are amazingly flashy. i dunno how they have so much money but they do and its amazing. They have 4 trucks- 1 being a Bently, they live in massapequa, have plasma tvs in thier walls, have a huge christmas tree, and just live the good life. Anyway back to the food! My soon to be cuz Richie is a culinery pastry chef however the man isnt just desserts! The boy knows how took cook entreas as well. The guy is a fat mans dream, Einstein of the kitchen, or as i like to call him cupid for food lovers. He knows what spices and colors compliment each other, he knows the tricks of the trade and hes damn good at it. HES BEEN ON FOOD TV, anyway enough of his crudentiasl...He and raquel cooked PORTER HOUSE steaks as thick as a bible but certainly much more enticing. Oh and holy cow (no pun intended) it was so delicious.Its the type of taste that ur tastebuds say- that cant be as good as i think it was. So tender, so juicy so orgasmic. You could cut it with a fork. I frequently order steaks whenever i go out to places like outback and boulder creek so i am a man who knows his meats. But this my friend(s)s was the best steak i ever had!!! EVER! He also made onion rings- which i dont even like onion rings but he soaked them in ice water and it takes out the oniony taste and they were delectable. GREAT NITE OF DINING. I def ate more than i should of but i couldnt help myself.
Well the year 2004 is finally coming to a close. A year that had some highs and many lows can only lead to a better year, or atleast i hope. I for one will not miss this yr but rather embrace a new beginning. A step towards the rest of my life. In 2005 i will hope to do 3 things...my resolutions, if u will. (1)- id like to get in shape- which is pretty much what every fat person says but i really intend to be much more active in'05. (2)- in 2005 i will be graduating by the end of summer so i will hope to be on my career path by years end. And finally (3)- i'd like to get a g/f by the end of the yr. I'm still waffling on if i should be in a relationship since my last one was a bigger disasters than the tsunami but i figure by yrs end i will be 23 and i should start preparing myself for my journey into adulthood. So as i look ahead with bright eyes and a handful of hope, i will quickly take a look back at the yr that was 04.
In 2004: I got a speeding ticket, my brother had an accidenat at work breaking his toe AND he was hit by a car which had him out for almost half a year, My Grandfather had a quad bipass surgery, I went to Atlantic City, My cousin got married, I saw phil collins in concert, went to a Yankee playoff game, went to a Jets game, my other cousin got engaged, i started working out, "feelings of love", suffered through Qm and multiple presentations, made some hofstra friends (just a few), and much, much more but nothing too exciting.
For new yrs it looks like i will be attending a "party" at a fire house with food and drinks as far as the eye can see..or if not the place has a pool tablewhere i can show off the skills! HAve a good new yr every1.
Stay classy Long Island.
