Haikus
Sometimes I write haikus. Here a few recent ones.
Loneliness creeps in.
I seek a cure for this ache,
as it bites and tears.
Cluttered spaces and
dusty corners witness my
struggles to begin.
I fear the noise and
the light, yet I cling to my
merciless shadows.
I can’t ask for keys,
since I am my own keeper,
yet doors are hidden.
Guilt and shame have ruled
irreverent of my need
to repair… Continue

Accio, Boyfriend Mine
My boyfriend was gone all summer and towards the end, I got frustrated and found a productive way of channeling it (miraculously). I figured out that it worked really well to switch the lyrics of Hank's Harry Potter song and make it about my summer. So here it is. (also, camera cord is missing, so videos are pending)

Kate's Cooking Challenge
For a long time, I've needed to learn to cook, and I need an interesting way of doing that cuz otherwise I just stick to things like bagels and oatmeal.
I am hear to tell you that is not a healthy way to live. So for the sake of my own health and decreasing world suck by decreasing my own suck, I am going to attempt cooking. Once a week, I will be attempting a new recipe and video the process and post it for passerbys to criticize (which I'm sure will be happening a lot since I can't… Continue

I searched classykate1 on YouTube and nothing came up but I'll look again when you add a video or two and maybe that'll work. :D
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 small avocadoes or 2 to 3 large avocadoes
- 1 small carton of cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 or 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- ¼ tsp. salt and pepper
1. Remove the pits from the avocadoes and the flesh from the skin, place in medium bowl.
*If the avocadoes aren’t quite ripe, it’s easier to mash if you chop them first.
2. Chop the onion, garlic, cherry or grape tomatoes, cilantro, and salt and pepper.
*You want equal amounts of avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and onion.
3. Mix in a food processor, with a hand mixer, or potato masher.
4. Cover and refrigerate.
*If you put the pits back into the guacamole, it will keep fresh longer.
For Pico de Gallo, skip the avocadoes and add more tomatoes.
I hope this is what you wanted!
P.S. What's your YouTube account so I can see the videos? ...that is if you're posting them on YouTube...?
Vegetarian Chili - "Chili sin Carne" :-)
K, I'm sorry, this is metric insofar as there are measurements in it at all as it was developed through experimentation and I don't really usually measure any of it....
It serves about 4, and is a vegetarian main course (though the level of vegetarian-ness depends on the grated cheese you use for topping)
Ingredients
- 2-3 large onions, coarsely chopped
- 2 cans of kidney beans, drained and rinsed (1 can is 400 grams here)
- 2 cans of chopped tomatoes (ditto, 400 grams per can)
- fresh garlic to taste, finely chopped - I like my garlic so usually use 4-5 cloves
- small dried chili peppers to taste, finely crushed - I tend to use 4-5 1 inch chilies
- small lump of butter
- vegetable cooking oil (e.g. sunflower or olive)
- salt & pepper to taste
to serve:
- flour tortillas
- sour cream
- guacamole (preferably fresh & home-made)
- grated cheese
- fresh coriander/cilantro
- basmati rice, cooked according to packet instructions
- side salad
Preparation:
1) Saute the onions in cooking oil over medium heat until they turn glassy, around 5-10 mins
2) add garlic and saute for 1-2 more minutes
3) Add canned tomatoes and kidney beans
4) Add butter and crushed chili peppers, stir, and leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes (you can use this time to cook the rice if you are serving rice)
5) taste for seasoning, I usually add a fair bit of salt and pepper
my favourite construction is: Take a flour tortilla, put on a layer of rice, then chili mix, then cheese, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, mix it all together, roll up, and nom :-)
