Weird Song Wednesday..

If I am having an insomnia issue, and can't stay asleep, and it's still dark out, is it technically still weds? Better late than never I say!

I wrote this song in response to someone who came on the website I write for, (the one that actually pays me lol) to the tune of “Say it Right” By Nelly Furtado. I hope he comes back to listen to his song!!

“Just Ain’t right”

Sleep All Day
Up All Night
Those on Coke
Just Ain’t Right
Miami’s got it
What city won’t
But you really oughta know
When you go on a website
to ask strangers to find
you, some cocaine
there’s a hole in your plans
( and maybe your nose)

Chorus:
Oh you don’t need blow to have fun in Miami
And the people on this website we like to eat
The sun the beach the attractions are all you need
Do you think that cocaine will set you free?

We could say, where to go
certain clubs, certain roads
we could say, but we won’t
it’s not right, and you know
and you know, how it feels
when your heart pounds all night
and your sweaty, and your gross nose
that was super fun, right?

Chorus

Oh you don’t need blow to have fun in Miami
grab a mojito and chill at Nikki Beach
walk down for a filet at smith and wolensky
if you need a buzz just drink some Cuban coffee
(but you’d rather do coke...)

I don’t need to tell you, you already see
And I hope you don’t come back here, looking for it
And it won’t solve your problems
DO you really, want coke?

Chorus:
Oh you don’t need blow to have fun in Miami
You could just go swimming in our aqua blue seas
Or save your money to do some world class shopping
write back if you need to know where to go eat

oking to score an 8 ball... Online to a bunch of strangers.. It was so beyond inappropriate I had to write a song about it, so here goes

Weird Song Wednesday - An Oldie But Goodie


This is an older song of mine, sung to the tune of "Rocket Man" by Elton John


I got home real late last nite....
Was 3 or 4 am...
And he should have been paaaasssseeeddd out, in his crate by then..
He runs right up to me, and shakes his ass...
A smile on his face....

On such a fat little man....

Lucky man is gonna rip shit up tonight
He pisses Reigna off they get in fights
He's not the kindof dog you leave to roam
Oh no no no, gotta lock him in....

Lucky man, Little Lucky man and Reigna Girl

South Beach is not the place to have two dogs
Its crowded and hot as hell
And no one wants to walk them, down those stairs

And all the crying, he don't understand
why Mom and Dad always have to leave
Oh Lucky Maaannnn Lucky Man

Lucky Man is going to eat some shoes tonight
He pissed off Reigna and got a bite
He's not the kind of dog I thought I'd own...

Oh no no no... He's a Lucky Man......

Lucky Man is gonna eat some shoes tonight
Lucky Man is gonna crap on the floor tonight
Lucky Man is gonna sleep in bed tonight......

Concoction Monday on Wednesday - Meatballs!



Last night I made my meatballs, which came out amazing as usual. Again, I'm not the best measurer but I've done my best.

Shopping list

2-3 lbs ground beef
1 large handful Italian breadcrumbs per pound
1 bunch Italian Parsely
1 egg per 1-1.5 pounds
parmigianno reggiano or artisan domestic parmesean
Locatelli romano or pecorino if you can't find Locatelli ( Fresh Market has)
fresh ground pepper
coarse sea salt
crushed red pepper
Olive oil


place beef in large mixing bowl. crack eggs in. add a small handful per pound each of parmesean and romano cheeses. Chop up 1/4 cup per 1.5 pound beef of italian parsley, and add to bowl. Add a tsp of crushed red pepper, more if you like. Add salt and pepper to taste. Preheat a large skillet over medium with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Mix all ingredients together by hand, taking care not to overwork the meat or the meatballs could become tough. Form into small and medium balls, to preference, and overload the pan so that later you can brown each side by propping them up against each other. Make sure to brown on all sides before removing to a paper towel covered plate to drain. Plop a few into your sauce during the last half hour of it's cooking for flavor. Leave the rest to keep the crunchy carmelization of the searing. Link to the post that has my sauce recipe click here

A Facebook Question

Why does facebook keep suggesting to me to befriend people I have spent my entire life carefully avoiding? I mean, hello, we know the same people and we are not friends yet; recognize that facebook you silly F***k!

Another Puppy Mill Bites the Dust not a moment too soon!


I'm a big weepy mess right now. I just learned via the Herald that a mini dog puppy mill in Tenn was busted and hundreds of pups and dogs rescued and given their own wing at the Broward County Humane Society. Thanks to the publicity, hundreds lined up to adopt these poor babies, many of whom had never walked on the ground before, relegated to life in a mesh cage, turning out litter after litter... A quote from the Herald story:
" Somehow the breeds of the rescued dogs made the negligence discovered on a rural farm in Lyles, Tenn., seem all the more unfathomable. Most were little guys. Yorkies, Boston terriers, miniature pinschers, poodles, Chihuahuas, Maltese, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Shar-Peis, Jack Russell terriers. The very dogs we're used to seeing coddled, anthropomorphized and spoiled like children."

As an owner of a Yorkie hybrid and a Min Pin, I am especially emo right now. Down with puppy mills! It reminds me that I never posted the link to the article I wrote about SPCA Miami's Charity Party at the Versace Mansion for MiamiBeach411.com. Here it is; Versace Article

Bar Food Friday -A Lecture and a Let down


Don't let the title fool you- I had an amazing time on Bar Food Friday. I just didn't have amazing bar food.

I met Manola BBB at the University of Miami's Lowe's Art Museum. A 10$ donation later, and we were listening to a slide accompanied lecture about excavating Egypt. Apparently the study of Egypt, AKA Egyptology, is a fairly new science. Our lecturer spends four months out of his year at Abydos, a dig site located in central Egypt. After the lecture, which was, for lack of a better word, mind blowing, we had a free drink and some appetizers ( most of which were devoured by the time we got through the drink line, which cemented the divide and conquor rule for subsequent events like this one) before perusing the exhibit. It was absolutely amazing to see so much of Petrie's,( the father of Egyptology) findings from his museum in London, on loan to the Lowe Museum. The exhibit is here until November, and I believe the lecture is every Friday at 7pm.

After we were done, we headed over to JJ's American Diner for another drink and some bar , food. I had heard great things about JJ's and was very excited for my sampler which comprised of Fried Mozz, Wings, and Potato Skins... The fried mozz was terrible, congealed cheese covered in soggy sand... The sauce was even worse. The wings I just left sitting there, plain and underfried with what appeared to be nothing more than plain hot sauce on the side. I would refry them, make a sauce, and enthusiastically serve them to hubby later....On to the potato skins, which were definitely fried before filled, in what tasted like a vat of Krispy Kreme oil... The middle was congealed, soggy, and way too thick on the plain potato side..

Thank G&D for good conversation and crappy wine though. That never fails to make my night... Then on the way home, I ran into major traffic. At 11 pm on a Friday night, it took me all of 15 minutes to get to the Gables and about an hour to get home... Welcome to Miami...
