Something Sassy, SOUND OFF

Lack of sleep this week, half a bottle of wine and high emotions fuel this post.  Recipe and directions on how to Piss Me Off.  I love to cook, its my therapy.  While some stress on what to cook, prep times, order of sides, baking temps, etc, I relish in it.  I am a master, I learned from the best and my food should have its own TV show. (but it'd never make the health channel, lets be honest) So when I buy a turkey the size of my toddler and enough sides and desserts to feed an army, it really hurts my feelings when you don't show.  Since only people who actually care read this blog, I can be as offensive and rude as I want to be. Do not voluntell me to make Thanksgiving and NOT SHOW UP.  What the hell, you rude bastard.  Not even not show up, but not even care to RSVP either way.  I do not mind to cook, I would have made everything I did, just not as much had I have known that it'd just be my little family and one other couple.  Several people said they would 'try to stop by' which translates to "thanks, but we're going somewhere and I don't want to hurt your feelings" Whatever, that doesn't bug me.  But don't ask me if i'm making some of the same things that I made last year and just randomly stop talking to me two weeks or so before thanksgiving.  don't fake being polite when you see me because you feel you have to be cordial when around other people.  I am nice, I mind my manners and watch my tongue when needed, but if you treat me like crap, I can be the meanest bitch you have ever known and I will not be shy about it!!!  Lilly and I delivered some goodies to our stairwell neighbors, and some friends stopped by to pick up some of my famous pumpkin rolls.  The couple that DID show up were practically family anyway, so it was nice to have a nice long dinner and chats and fun.  There was plenty leftover to pick at for hours, for them to take home, for us to freeze, and to feed the guys guarding the gates.  I can be one of the kindest, giving women on the planet.  But fuck with me once and you're done.  This lifestyle comes with all kinds of people and personalities, but I HATE the fake.  I'm not going to call anyone out specifically, but I would love to tell a few to Kiss My Ass!! I am thankful for my family, my sweet neighbors, and friends who we count as family.  To anyone who may by chance read this and be offended or feel guilty, Bite Me :)

To the rest : HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! :)

Supper..... Souper EZ Beef Stroganoff

I love cooking and baking, I find it soothing and therapeutic.  But there are times when I wanna say "screw it" and just throw something together really quick.  This is one of those meals!

1 large top steak, or stir fry strips, approx 1 lb
1 package of egg noodles
1 stick of butter
1 jar heinz beef gravy
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 stick of butter
3/4 cup of water
seasonings to taste

Cook meat with butter and seasonings, add water at the end to keep moist.  Prepare noodles as directed on package, drain, return to pan.  Add meat, (juices and all!) soup and gravy, stir and heat thoroughly.  That's it!  Enjoy!
