F-ing Fabulous!!!

Ok people, I have one question for ya:

How many recipes have I shared with you on this blog??

Ok, now that I kinda thought about it I have shared one (Lemonade Diet-Lemonade) but the recipe that I am about to share with you is sooooo much more than the Lemonade thing, soooo much more!! You simply have to make this, you won't regret it!!

F-ing Fabulous



Ingredients
2 Tbl ground coriander
1 Cup finely chopped onion
3 Tbl vegetable oil
1 tsp minced garlic and ginger
1/2 Cup of chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned drained
(I used a whole 14.5oz can of petite cut tomatoes)

Spice Mixture
1/2 tsp of ground cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper
1/4 tsp of turmeric
1/16 tsp of ground cinnamon and ground cloves

1/2 tsp fennel seeds coarsley ground w/mortar and pestle
1 tsp salt
1/4 Cup water
1/2 Cup canned unsweetened coconut milk

and 8 eggs

Directions:

Hard boil the eggs (try not to over cook them), peel and slice in half lengthwise using a piece of thread. The thread is a smoother cut and does not stick to the thread.

While the eggs are boiling, place the ground coriander into a small dry fry pan and toast lightly over medium heat. Stir constantly until it becomes aromatic, 2-3 minutes.

In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry onion in oil until it turns light brown, add the garlic and ginger and stir for 1 minute.

Add toasted coriander, tomoatoes, spice mixture, fennel seeds, sald and fry until tomato pieces are very soft and break up. Add 1/4 C water and simmer to produce a thick paste.

Unfortunately, this is where my recipe stops, what about the coconut milk?? The eggs??? No worries, I winged it and it was still F-ing Fabulous!!

Add the coconut milk (recipe calls for 1/2 cup, I used 1/2 a can), stir well, add the halved eggs and simmer for a few minutes.

I made some basmati rice and picked up a package of frozen naan at Trader Joes and I will only say it one more time--


F-ING FABULOUS!!!!

Today when I walked into the restroom at work and saw the toilet seat covers hanging on the wall I thought to my self:

"Self, I don't believe that I really know how to use those things."

As I am sitting there contemplating the correct usage a fellow coworker walks into the stall next to mine. I listened as they unmistakeably pulled a cover from the box and I sat there wondering just how she knew how to use this item. I have used them before and always thought it a drag to have to punch out the center piece but as I sat there listening, I don't think that my coworker punched out the center. It sounded as tho she just layed the paper layer onto the toilet seat and peed her way through it. Is this how the toilet seat cover is to be used? Or does one need to punch the opening prior to peeing?


Tell me, What is proper toilet seat cover etiquette??
