Chelsea's Power Hour

Made alive to Phoenix. Currently in Tucson for a night... goin' out wit da lads down here. Went and watched District 9 in the cinema. Its pretty messed up. Good all the same though. The passed few days have been exhausting. I arrived into Phoenix Saturday evening at around 7/8pm I can't really remember... was collected at the airport by Chelsea and her friends then headed back to her house to prepare for her Power Hour. We went to dinner first then headed back to hers then everybody went out to Big Bang. An underground piano bar on Mill Ave. in Tempe. Was pretty cool ... expensive drinks though :/ after that we headed back to Chelsea's where the drinking games and the crazy dancing began. Oh Lordy... the pictures are below it was crazy fun loved every minute. It lasted til 5 when everyone started to fade.

The following morning... with a thumpin' headache and a tongue like that of sandpaper. It was planned that we shall go to Boston's for Bloody Mary's and wings... before we headed to Chelsea's parents house with her family and stuff. So we had a few shots :/ 1pm shots at 1pm who does that? lol... apparently we do now... anyway yeh so we're hammered before we even get to Chelsea's Parents house. Anyway we left Chelsea's and then back home before going for a few beers and pool and Doc & Eddy's. So tired at this point.

On Monday pretty much did nothing. Went for lunch with Chelsea and booked my bus ticket to Tucson. Then had Dinner with B and Stephen. It was niceeeeeeee. Went back to Chelsea's and watched 'Push' i thought it was pretty good. Better than my expectations anyway.

I then woke up at 6am and Chelsea dropped me at the bus station for my trip to Tucson. Here i am now. So we'll see how tonight goes ... going to a few bars later :)


PHOTOS WILL GO HERE FOLKS > Internet is wayyyyy to slow... sorry... also please be patient for the Vegas and Miami blog entry... i've just been soakin' in the sun and having way too much fun!

Hunger finds no fault with the cooking

Scottie's Bday - Ravioli

So last week it was Scottie's B'day and Tony wanted to cook for his friend so...i helped him...We made ravioli with shrimp ricotta from start to finish. I'd never made ravioli before... except Chef Boyardee or Heinz in Tomato sauce...but they were gooood. Was great craic... with Robledo Pinot Noir. Yummy. Of course there was great birthday cake too. Chocolate and strawberries...cant beat it with a stick.

A taste from home - Potato Bread

So i figured i'd treat my friends to a little home cooking. They always ask...what does irish food taste like so...i attempted to make some Irish Potato Bread... attempted being the main word...

We forgot flour...but...there was corn bread mix :/ so we used that and well i guess...the recipe said that we needed 'Irish Butter' i couldn't find kerrymaid unfortunately. Anyway...so we mixed up the recipe...actually one thing i noticed this recipes on the net NEVER make sense...ive tried following that stuff online before and well once when i tried making french toast (eggy bread) i got banana flavoured scrambled egg...but thats another story...for another day...back to the potato bread... so we added some sausage to the mix...and fried it in the pan...so effin good! :) i was well proud... improvisation goes along way... here's the pics...pity you can't taste em..not the pics...the potato bread.

..He really is 21...

Woooohooooooooooo im now legal in the state of California!

Finally i can drink alcohol(legally)..i can stop for a pint on the way home from work...:D had an amazing night last night...we (Chrissi, Dave, Ali, Karyne, Karyne's friend(i dont wanna get the spelling of her name wrong) and I) went to Haight Ashbury and landed in Hobson's Choice...and the we are at the bar...and he wants to see our I.D. and someone said to him...'It's his Birthday' so he rings the last orders bell and makes the WHOLE bar aware...then he comes back...laughs and says 'He really is 21 and laughs...then he drops my passport into water! My effin VISA!...its all running and stuff...(it sounds worse than it is) but i was like Ree Ree...but we get our fat tires, go sit down, and im putting pieces of toilet paper between each page so they dont stick...on i slight downer from the passport incident, i wanna go to a night club and BOOOOOGIE...so we went back downtown and went to this night club called 'Slide' which is appropriate...as the club is downstairs you slide down into the club...but it was closed as it was Sunday...but still cool tho...we took the stairs.

Being Sunday, there wasnt many people there the whole night...music was good though...alcohol was pouring i had a GREAT night and just wanna take the opportunity to thanks everyone who came out and to Dave who helped to spread the word...and to those who couldnt make it...we'll party another time :D so until thennnnnnnnnn!

I got work tomorrow now...so sleep...g'night :)
