I am heartbroken. SERIOUSLY.
Sam is the only source of joy in this house. Eventhough we had a hard time handling her, cleaning her poop, her pee, wiping her behind after every pupu, preparing her breakfast, lunch, and dinner, preparing her milk, playing with her, letting her out of the door when she cries, because she always wanted to play outside. And all of those cute things that she does...
I will miss her. I'll miss seeing her sleep on the floor, between the sofas, under the staircase, under the tables, on top of the rugs. Ill miss it when she lays her head on our feet. Sam playing with papa's slippers, Sam murdering one of my sacrificial stuffed toys, her own towel. Sam crying when we leave her alone. Ill miss running after her, watching out if she's gonna go or not. Ill miss Sam. Even if we just had her for a few days.
No other puppy can replace you, Sam.
and NO, she doesnt get on our nerves...
I love you Sam! :(

People
People judge, People feel
People always try to conceal
A hear so stained, a heart so pure
Trying to hide something that's obscure
Dilemmas never seem to go away
Often a reason
For someone to be astray
Crushed in pieces
Hurting never eases
People are so pathetic
Lives became tragic
Putting on a blissful face
Trying to seize up
On this Worlds race
People are so tired, most of the time
working so hard
Just to earn that dime
Why have we become so numb
When we people, can succumb
To a life that is so brittle
Given attention that is so little
A world that should be shared
To people in great despair
Doing nothing but to stare
Now someone tell me
Why cant we all
Just have a life that is fair?
-Michael Francis I. Pascual
AHAHAHA. Sentimental? LOL. It's something I made back when i was in highschool =) I just thought it would be nice to share it with y'all.
XOXO

A Sexier Bloody Mary (A FEATURED Article from EPICURIOUS)
Thrasher's qualm with the traditional Bloody is the thick texture contributed by the tomato juice, so he eliminates it by making an easy consommé using ripe tomatoes along with red onion, serrano chile, and orange juice, a combination inspired by sangrita, a liquorless chaser for tequila. Poured over ice and spiked with citrus vodka, his rendition tastes fresh and lively, perfect for summer. "
4 large beefsteak tomatoes, quartered
1/2 serrano chile, roughly chopped
1/4 red onion, roughly chopped
3-inch piece of lemongrass, tough outer leaves removed and roughly chopped
small pinch sugar
large pinch salt
1/2 lime
1/2 lemon
1/2 orange
2 18-inch-square pieces cheesecloth
Bloody Mary
Ice16 ounces tomato water
6 ounces Grey Goose Le Citron (or any citrus vodka)
4 cherry tomatoes for garnish
For tomato water:
In food processor, purée first six ingredients until smooth. Line sieve with cheesecloth and set sieve over nonreactive bowl. Pour purée into center of cheesecloth and refrigerate overnight. Gather sides of cheesecloth up over purée to form large sack and squeeze gently to extract last bits of water. Discard sack and its contents and transfer tomato water to bowl. Set strainer over bowl and squeeze in lime, lemon, and orange juice. Stir well. Makes about 20 ounces tomato water, enough for roughly 4 drinks.
Fill 4 highball glasses with ice. In each, combine 4 ounces tomato water and 1 1/2 ounces vodka and stir. Garnish with cherry tomatoes.
Sexify me Bloody Mary!

Beers for Barbecue
Pilsner Urquell
(Czech Republic, $8/ 6 pack)
"This Czech pilsner (produced since 1842) has a malty, faintly buttery flavor supported by a crisp, palate-cleansing bitterness, which makes it an ideal foil to spicy barbecue sauce, especially when said sauce is slathered over a nondominating meat like chicken or pork. The dry, lingering hoppiness on the finish makes it especially refreshing and easy to drink more than one."
Meaty Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Chicken With Root Beer Barbecue Sauce
You need a crisp, bitter, and refreshing Czech pilsner to cut through the combination of smoke, spice, and sweet tomato in this dish.
Meatless Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Corn On The Cob With Chile And Lime
The buttery character of the malt highlights the rich flavor of the corn, while the beer's crisp hoppiness cuts through the butter and spice.
North Coast Red Seal Ale
(USA, $9/6 pack)
Patriots take note: If you're going to be cooking classic American grilled foods, like burgers, it's only fitting that you add a classic, born-in-the-USA pale ale to the menu as well. North Coast Brew Pub opened its doors in 1988 in Fort Bragg, California, and was a pioneer in the craft-beer movement. The Red Seal ale has a fragrant, herbaceous aroma and a body that balances lightly fruity, caramel-y malt with spicy, bitter hops. Refreshing and substantial.
Meaty Recipe Pairing:
Chipotle Burgers
The greasiness is cut by the hops, allowing subsequent bites to be enjoyed with a fresh palate.
Meatless Recipe Pairing:
Portobello-Black Bean Burgers With Corn Salsa
The spice of the green chiles will be tamed by the hops, while the meatiness of the mushroom is buoyed by the ale's rich maltiness.
Left Hand Milk Stout
(USA, $22/ 6 pack)
Believe it or not, the most versatile beer for the barbecue is stout, in all its roasty, smoky glory. This sweeter version of the style, fortified with lactic sugars for richness and body, is particularly food-friendly and has a natural roasted-malt character mellowed somewhat by a mildly fruity, coffee-ish sweetness. Pair it with almost anything off the grill.
Meaty Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Sausages, Peppers, And Onions On Rolls
Sweet and spicy meets sweet and roasty. It's an even more harmonious marriage if the sausages are accented by fennel seed or anise.
Meatless Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Mushroom Salad With Frisée And Hazelnuts
The intense flavors of grilled mushrooms pull out the earthy taste of the dark malts, creating a gastronomic combo greater than the sum of its parts.
Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel
(Germany, $3 per 500 ml bottle)
German lager and grilled pork are natural companions; neither overwhelms the flavor or taste of the other. This dark lager goes especially well with grilled pork. Expect a faintly roasty, lightly sweet—but still crisp—character with hints of coffee and cooked caramel and an off-dry (slightly sweet) finish.
Meaty Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Pork Chops With Classic Barbecue Sauce
Add the vaguely smoky effects of the grill, matched by the beer's softly roasted character, and the partnership only improves.
Meatless Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Vegetable Sandwich
The natural sugars in the vegetables make the beer taste sweeter than it is; the soft sugars of grilled vegetables actually enhance the malt sugars of a beer.
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier
(Germany, $5 per 500 ml bottle)
Arguably the ultimate in barbecue brews (at least in Germany), this thirst-quenching lager is brewed from barley malt that has been smoked over a wood fire. Bold, malty, and unquestionably smoky, with a slight hint of sweetness and a bit of licorice lurking in the background, this is not lager for the timid, but it is splendid when paired with red meats cooked over charcoal.
Meaty Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Spice-Rubbed Skirt Steak
The beer is full-bodied enough to match the big flavors of the meat, and will not be intimidated by the spice of the rub or smoke of the grill.
Meatless Recipe Pairing:
Grilled Pizza Margherita
Schlenkerla is a Marzenbier, a traditional pale ale. Its sweet taste is a natural match for tomato sauce; char the crust for a smoky complement to the beer.

Mr. Freckle Cook
Rocco DiSpirito
Rocco DiSpiritu was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens. His culinary experience began at age eleven in his mother Nicolin's kitchen. By the age of 16, DiSpirito entered the Culinary Institute of America. He graduated in 1986 and studied abroad at Jardin de Cygne in France with Dominique Cecillon and Gray Kunz. In 1990, DiSpirito earned a B.S. in Business from Boston University.
He worked at Adrienne in New York and as Chef de Partie at Aujourd'hui in Boston. DiSpirito then joined Lespinasse's opening team. In 1997, DiSpirito opened Union Pacific in New York City's Gramercy Park as Chef and Owner. In 1999, DiSpirito was named Food & Wine's Best New Chef, and in 2000, Gourmet magazine called him "America's Most Exciting Young Chef."
DiSpirito opened Rocco's 22nd Street in the summer of 2003 while cameras for NBC's The Restaurant watched
and took notes. Later that summer, more than nine million viewers a week tuned in to see the ups and downs of DiSpirito's family-inspired eatery. The second series aired in the spring of 2004.
DiSpirito is the author of Flavor (Hyperion, October 2003), a unique cook book that breaks down his concept of building dishes on the four basic flavors, making his unique approach to food accessible to the home cook. Rocco's new show on A&E will air June, 2007 and DiSpirito's fifth book, Rocco Gets Real will be released in September of 2008 (by Meredith).

Buffalo Chicken Tenders with Celery and Blue Cheese Salad
© Spirit Media 2004-2008 All Rights Reserved
Estimated Cost: $20
canola oil 1 gallon*
corn flour for dredging*
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
salt and pepper to taste*
3/4 cup Steve and Ed's Buffalo Wing Sauce, or other buffalo wing sauce of choice
2 celery hearts, sliced on a bias
1 1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese
2/3 cup mayonnaise
Heat oil in a large pot to 400 degrees. Dredge chicken tenders in corn flour. Add tenders to hot oil and stir occasionally during cooking. Cook for about 5 minutes or until tenders are golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Toss in a large bowl with hot sauce. While wings are cooking, combine celery hearts, blue cheese and mayo in a large bowl. Mix to coat and season with salt and pepper. To serve, divide celery salad among four plates and pile an equal amount of tenders on top of each salad.
Yield: Serves: 4
Mama's Meat Balls
© Spirit Media 2004-2008 All Rights Reserved
1/3 cup chicken stock
1/4 yellow onion
1 clove garlic
¼ cup fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped fine
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal
1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 eggs1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
3-6 cups Mama's Marinara, or your favorite marinara
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1. Place the chicken stock, onion, garlic and parsley in a blender of food processor and puree.
2. In a large bowl, combine the pureed stock mix, meat, bread crumbs, eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes, parsley and salt. Combine with both hands until mixture is uniform. Do not over mix.
3. Put a little olive oil on your hands and form mixture into balls a little larger than golf balls. They should be about ¼ cup each, though if you prefer bigger or smaller, it will only affect the browning time.
4. Pour about 1/2-inch of extra virgin olive oil into a straight-sided, 10-inch-wide sauté pan and heat over medium-high flame. Add the meatballs to the pan (working in batches if necessary) and brown meatballs, turning once. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
5. While the meatballs are browning, heat the marinara sauce in a stockpot over medium heat. Lift the meatballs out of the sauté pan with a slotted spoon and put them in the marinara sauce. Stir gently. Simmer for one hour.
6. Serve with a little extra Parmigiano-Reggiano sprinkled on top. Serve alone or over spaghetti (in which case, you will need 6 cups of marinara).
Yield: Serves 4 as antipasto or over spaghetti
