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.

Blue Angels Fleet Week San Francisco

Lets start with... I love this place? I hada great 'Weekend' I got off work at around quarter to 5 on Saturday and got my hair cut. I wanted to go somewhere a little bit cheap so i asked around... Supercuts seemed to be the one to go for a cheap and less expensive hair cut than last time ... 20 bucks :/ and she wasn't gentle with my hair... she just got tore into it like *insert your own teen slasher horror movie character from the 80s in here* anyway...after about 2 hours whining bout how i hated my hair (its a tradition) i've come to terms with it... i like it now :) so... i had a power nap...and got ready to go out and parrrrrrrdy...i went to an Irish Pub called Irish Bank and i made a friend :D wooohoooo... Dean... he's a cool guy... we're headin out to party this weekend too hopefully...its tough week this week...im tired and its only tuesday :/ but i've got partying to look forward to and the Red Bull Soap Box race on Saturday. But i'll come back to that in a bit...so we got more beers and all headed back to Dean's he lived far away so we got a cab...and the cab driver was the coolest ever... ANYWAY we watch tv and theres the American version of Kath and Kim with Selma Blair as Kim, i forget the girl who plays Kath is... but you cannot Americanize Kath and Kim... that's all i can say... well i also think it was rubbish... completely crap...but then i passed out drunk.

So.... it was then sunday... and i made my way to Fisherman's Wharf, it was fleet week in San Francisco, where all the sailors and guys from the navy and stuff from the sea come to different cities for a week. Also there where air shows so i got to see the Blue Angels...i guess theyre americas version of the Red Arrows...they performed alot of stunts etc... it was cool it was a cracker day check out the pics below...

So, damn working in San Francisco is tough, theres too much going on...This weeks gonna be long ...4 early shifts in a row...the past 2 nights ive done some over time...worked 11 hours each...so i came out just after the time i was spose today and i'm in a cafe, using there
