Tabasco

NICE!!!! First thing that comes to mind is flavor. I have consistently abused Tabasco since i was about 14. Back then, it used to burn. Now i have gained a regal tolerance for spicy food and sauces. Now its more about the flavor and less about the burn. Tabasco goes on about 65% of everything I eat. I get the big bottle just because it makes since for me. One time, a band mate of mine gave me 100 miniature, portable bottles for Xmas. If tabasco was a person, my relationship would be in jeopardy. She would be a curvy, beautiful caring woman who would rub my head until i feel asleep each night. Its kind of weird seeing that in text, but yeah... I am feeling it. HARD. and The End.

Spices and Flavors.

Spices and flavors are very important. The actual food specimen will provide you only with its basic taste. What makes quality food to me is, how that basic taste is elevated to something greater. We take our sauces and spice rack super serious around here. Its crucial. Mad crucial. Most of our spices and sauces can be stored in dry storage. we have an extensive spice rack and an array of sauces... Tabasco, Chalula, Tapatio, Chalula Chipotle, Yucateco Chipotle and Habenaro just to name a few that we actually have on hand right now.

Eating out

My girlfriend and I are the take out royalty around here. We only order from the places we gave been to and sat down in, aside from Kellogs Diner. We switch it up a lot. Indian one night, diner food the next, thai  etc....They are all great. We typically have a certain dish that we always get from each place. Say if we eat at Curry Heaven, she will get the chicken tiki masala and i will get the lamb curry. We love to share our food as well.

Food Preparation

I do cook from time to time. Like I said earlier, my girlfriend is the real cook around here. I do cook somethings, various meats and pastas. For instance, baked chicken. I always start with a great marinade. Thats where the flavor comes from. Just the right amount of ingredients and sit time, is what makes it really work. I like to compile the marinade and just let it hang out for hours before throwing it in the oven. Let it really sink in. Sad thing is, when its ready to eat, i normally drown it in tabasco like i do mosts meaty-cheesy-veggie things. But yeah, most times I am just the food prep guy.

3 INGREDIENTS I CANT LIVE WITHOUT

Tabasco, Cheese, and Jalapenos. They simply make food taste much better to me. The are things that take food from good to great. Max flavor, you know what i mean? Some people get offended when you drown things in hot sauce, but really, its a compliment. I gave you a shirt, i wouldnt be mad if you wore it with a tie.

About Food

Food is meant for more than survival. Food has a communal aspect to it. Bringing people together to share ideas (as far as food preparation as well as other) and to just socialize. I miss having dinner everyday with my family. But, I am glad to share food each night with my best friend and lover. Eating alone is so, matter of factual. Eating with someone is a sacred experience to me.

Food Evoltution

My eating habits haven't really changed to much... Just enough to accommodate the slowing of my. metabolism. I cant eat the same amount of food I could in high school with out ballooning up like a ball park frank when cooked. Also, when i was single, I ate like a bum. My girlfriend is an outstanding cook and I have money now, so i don't really starve which has mad eating more enjoyable..which has intern made my neck a bit thicker. I don't really cook as much as i used to, but when i do.. I cook the same way my parents taught me. I find that it is a very balanced way of cooking, as far as yielding a meal that isn't too unhealthy or too healthy.

Food and ME

I walk a fine line between a healthy diet and savory trash. I do get a bit of exercise. Not nearly as much as I got when i live in dallas, but an almost acceptable amount. I enjoy spicy foods. If its not hot, I am generally not interested. I do love veggies as much as i love meats and cheeses. I love food. Not really into sweets. Honestly, I try to pick foods that go well with Tabasco or pickled jalapenos. I love nothing more than mac and cheese and Tabasco, with a meaty main dish.

A Brand That Gets Me

Its hard to say. I have always been a fan of Uniqlo. Their costumer service is not really all that great but, they make affordable clothes that fit people like me. I have notices a lot of vanity sizing happening in mens clothing. In middle school, I wore a medium. Now I wear a small. Uniqlos smalls are actually smalls and not like other stores like Vans, whos small shirts are more like mediums. ALso, they make great clothing for the price point. All the things i would like to wear, are provided by them for an amazingly low price.

My DAY

My day changes a bit each day because I am a self employed freelance composer. I normally wake up by 7:45 am. Sometimes I don't shower right at the start of the day, I definitely brush my teeth and wash my face because I am not a complete rouge. I do start of with a shower and all of that if I am taking meeting or working in house at a studio, which is normally 2 or 3 days a week. A lot of times I just go to the next room (my home studio) and start by catching up on emails and goofing off a bit on ichat and Facebook. The goofing off is my favorite part. Then i have to get to the real work. Composing music to film, Bounces stems to be mixed, making revisions and scheduling meetings for myself to maintain/gain business. I hate making revisions. A great day for me is a day that I focus only on "real" records. Music for artists. My weekends differ from my weekends only because my friends are not at their 9-5s and we can hang. But if a spot comes in with quick turn-around, sometimes i have to go back into my hole and compose away
