I’ve been on “scavenger mode” recently as far as making dinner goes. Decided to take some frozen meatballs from a previous adventure in spaghetti and meatballs last week. Throw them on the stove with a jar of sauce.
… but that wasn’t enough to satisfy my cooking adventure. First things first. I had to do something about the boring jar of sauce. Not much in stock at the house, so I at least chopped up an onion and threw it in there. The meatballs were fried on a griddle, and were very delicious, but I still wanted to try something new with them. So I steamed them.

So Andrew needed to go poo. He went in the bathroom and started doing his thing. A minute later, I walked by and asked him if he was done. So he lets out this ridiculously long (read: IMPRESSIVE) fart and punctuates it by saying “That means *NO*…”

My wife picked me up from the office today and later on brought me back to my car. As I’m getting out of the van we hear some sort of noise. Sounded like someone/something in the dumpster.So I grab my trusty Maglite from the car and proceed to investigate. I peek into the dumpster and see a racoon. Hanging onto the dumpster lid (which a corner of it falls into the dumpster)
Who threw away this perfectly good raccoon?!
trying to climb out, but can’t because there’s not enough trash to reach the top. So it was jumping onto the lid and trying to climb up onto it to get out, but couldn’t
pull himself up out of the dumpster.
Of course, I can’t let it sit there and die… No way it’s gonna get itself out. So I run into the office and find a large enough box I can put in there to give it sort of a ladder/ramp to climb up and over to get out. Success! Read the rest of this entry »

So this is my first official post on the new ChrisGarcia.com … It’s Sunday, I’m not working at Papa or Geaux today. I wasted a lot of time today relaxing vegetating when there was things I needed to do.
The 240SX needs an oil change badly. Almost 1000 miles overdue and when your car has over 211000 miles on it, I’d imagine it’s not a good idea to wait too long between changes.
The lawn needs to be mowed. I can blame that one on the weather though. It’ll need to be done some time this week. Hopefully I can find time (or “make time” as some of those motivational speakers like to say) to do it on one of my evenings off this week. Otherwise, I’ll be doing the “mow 3 feet and restart the mower” dance.
I’m cooking shrimp and sausage jambalaya tonight for dinner… That is if Carla will ever get home with the last few ingredients I need. Stick around and maybe one day I’ll post my recipe. Yum.
