A grand smattering of stuff!

Posted bycasey coombsPosted inphotography

To all of those who feel I should have a cooking blog, allow me to change your mind in less than, oh, let’s say, forty seven seconds.

I am a huge number one fan with a foam finger of Ziploc’s new microwave steam bags.

Fish Ziploc, Ziploc Fish

Frozen salmon, meet Ziploc. Ziploc, meet frozen salmon.

Ziploc to the rescue.

Frozen salmon, Ziploc, meet lemon, dill and butter. And meet them in the microwave for five (YES FIVE!) minutes.

Missing something orange

Perfectly cooked and seasond (albeit nasty looking) salmon. Meet the perfect side dish.

The perfect dinner.

Yep. Salmon and Cheetos.

Are you sure you still want a cooking blog out of me?

Heh. Thought so.

NEXT ON THE LIST.

Metalia is knocked up, so is everyone else in the world but METALIA?

You’re dead to me. Anybody else want to break the news to me now so I don’t find out through pictures of YOUR PREGNANT BELLY IN FLICKR?

*sigh*

Next.

Would someone please pay me prolific amounts of money for contributing this to the gene pool?

Would someone please pay me for adding this to the gene pool?Ovaries twitching?

It’s really only fair.

And last on the list tonight is a picture that I had done while in Disneyland in June. It is the moosh’s real name hand painted in Disney Princesses. This is impressive for two reasons. Number one being that it is impressive. Number two is that I FRAMED IT ALL BY MYSELF. Put it together and EVERYTHING. LET’S SEE YOU DO THAT METALIA!

Anyway. Since I’m not going to share the moosh’s real name here on the world wide web I’ll first show you the wicked awesome frame job that is so much more awesome than any ultrasound picture of Metalia’s.

Screwy

And then I’ll show you a few letters from the painting.

L

This is Snow White as an L.

C

This is Cinderella as an A.

E

And this is Ariel as an E.

Pretty amazing, eh?

I’m off to eat more Cheetos. And sleep on my stomach, because PREGNANT PEOPLE CAN’T SLEEP ON THEIR STOMACH.

  6. Your daughter has some serious cuteness!

    I also have naturally curly hair and my mother was not nearly as gifted as you are in styling it.

    I’m with you on the pregnancy thing… the next person that asks me when I’m going to “take the plunge” is going to be hurt.

  8. Those bags look awesome! I have never seen them before. Of course, I live in Oklahoma so we should be able to buy those bags in the local grocery store in 2012.

    The moosh is one adorable child. Way to contribute to my ovaries doing flip flops.

  9. Barb and I are NOT pregnant. If we ever do become so, you will be one of the LAST people we tell – just kidding. Barb thinks everyone (and their sister, cousin, and dog) is pregnant, too, right now. It’s starting to get creepy.

  12. She has been and for at least the forseeable future will be the Cutest little girl I’ve ever seen.

    And thanks for the tip on the bags, I’m actually thinking of using some salmon for this tomorrow.

    And like 4 days after my hysterectomy, I’m 25, my friend told me she was pregnant. Yeah. Fun. I swear every person I know is getting pregnant. Even the infertile ones. I don’t get it.

  14. So make it a baking blog!!!

    If you use parchment paper to make a packet, you could do that same salmon thing with thin-sliced potatoes and some spinach leaves and it would only take about 20 mins baking time. And you wouldn’t get the nasty carcinogens that cooking in plastic infuses into your food.

    I’m just saying! 🙂

  15. I am not pregnant. I just thought I’d share that with your right off the top.

    Also, I love the moosh thread pics. She really is adorable. ADORABLE. Worth millions.

    Also, I’m feeling smug b/c I think I remember the moosh’s real name. It was on a video of her NOT napping… I LOVE the princess painting- and your framing ablities are something you can add to the list- baking, waxing, bending, framing…. =)

  26. See now, I’d subscribe to a cooking blog like that! Because my skills are limited to a microwave and frozen food. I’d love to see new ways to make easy frozen food that didn’t involve popping a Lean Cuisine into the microwave. (And I’m SO going to try that salmon!)

    What a gorgeous painting. Next time I go to Disney, I’m going to find whoever does those. Forget the girls – I want one with MY name! (Nah, I’d probably get their names. Besides, Cordelia and Miranda would look prettier than my name.)

  27. I will have you know that I miss sleeping on my stomach very much. And I know I’m dead to you right now, but perhaps you can find it in your heart to forgive me when I post the video of me TOTALLY MAKING A TOTAL FOOL OF MYSELF at my friend’s karaoke birthday party last night. Karaoke should not be performed by me without benefit of at least 3 tequila shots. Lesson learned.

  28. Having been pregnant far too many times, I can say with certainty that those are not Cheetos, they are Cheese Poofs.

    I love the moosh’s sign. I have one for my first son in a Korean art pattern of some sort. It is awesome, but my daughter would die for the princesses. Not sure if it’s worth the trip to Disneyland though.
