I am freaking amazing!

OK, not really, but sorta.

I made macaroni and tomatoes for dinner tonight. Mmmmmm. Good stuff. Here's how you do it--and it only takes like 15 minutes!
Cook your macaroni. In a separate pot heat up your tomatoes and add onions and garlic. When they're all hot and done, drain the macaroni and pour in the tomatoes. Salt and pepper to taste. I used about 1 1/2 cups uncooked macaroni and a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes. Made enough for 3 healthy servings.
No, I didn't eat it all tonight--I'm taking a bowlful to work with me in the morning.

The other night, when Haley came over, I made chili. 30 minute chili. Yeah, that was the night I almost burned down grandma's house. Want to know how to make it?
Half a pound of ground beef, browned. Throw it into a pot with 1 can of black beans, one can of chili beans (pinto beans with the flavorings already added), and 2 cans of tomato sauce or diced tomatoes. I used the diced tomatoes because I love 'em. 30 minutes start to finish. And it's good! Salt, pepper, onions, garlic--whatever else you like--go ahead and throw it in. Oh! And chili powder.
Hay loved it.

And lastly tonight, I swear, if I see or hear one more commercial for a jewelery store and/or diamonds, I might blow up!

Sounds like you need a chef costume and a new name.

Just so happens that a Jared diamond commercial is playing at this exact moment that I am reading your blog.

So, I definatly agree with you about hating these commercials!!!

That's how you make bloody elbows? We use pureed tomaotoes and no spice, but salt and pepper. Never thought of onions. It's in the cheddar cheese, you put on top.
