January: Gym is full of a bunch of New Year's Resolutions assholes.
February: Valentine's Day is gay as fuck. Last time I enjoyed it was in elementary school when we all brought in candy for each other and I could lay the mack down on girls by stealing their candy.
March: I can't remember a single day in March that has good weather. St. Patrick's Day is aight but a bunch of fake Irish fucks run around.
April: Rains all the time.

Great time of year to be in South Beach.

If you don't hate pumpkin, add some canned pumpkin + cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice to your protein shakes. Sugar not required, but some honey helps.

It's pumpkin time of year again. Already spotted a few girls this week wearing the uniform:

It's that time of year again.








I don't think this is what the Star Wars guys intended when they said Attack of the Clones. But seriously, if they didn't have tits and vagina women would be called total geeks over how obssessive they are over menial things like pumpkin.

The pumpkin invasion marks the start of the American eating season, which admittedly never has an official off-season. But fat fucks can abandon any pretense of eating healthy as soon as they bring out their sweaters.

Nobody with a BMI of 30+ should even be allowed to touch these wonderful concoctions:

^ Don't underestimate the cooking game potential here. I have a suspended pumpkin vine in a section of my backyard, like this.



I closed a long-term jogging flirtation on a drizzly, cold day last May by inviting her for homemade pumpkin soup. It was miserable: I could tell if she didn't have a horse-sized Dalmatian to wear out she never would have left the house. When she mentioned she was going to buy Canned Pumpkin Soup on her way home to warm up, I realised I had the ingredients pre-roasted from the night before and could work Food Prep Game on her.

As such, for any of you guys who enjoy cooking with a girl, here's my recipe.

----

Warming Pumpkin Soup Makes 4 large bowls

Ingredients

1 kg Pumpkin, cut into chunks or wedges (I grow Japs)
1 brown onion
2 apples (granny smiths are common, I prefer pink ladies)
2-3 garlic cloves
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
salt / pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh or ground)
1 litre vegetable stock (chicken stock will work)

Garnish:
15g hazelnuts
15 sage leaves

Method

1. Preheat oven to a moderate temperature.

2. Peel pumpkin, onion, and garlic. Peel, core and quarter apple. Cut pumpkin and onion into chunks.

3. Put Pumpkin, Onions, Apple and Garlic into a bowl with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Toss. Sprinkle over cinnamon, salt and pepper and nutmeg. Toss again until well-coated.

4. Place in baking tray and cook until nicely-roasted. Usually about 80 minutes in my oven. I do this the night before if I intend to make soup, as roasting simply means throw the ingredients in and forget about them if you're sure of the times in your oven, so it's easy to add in a pan if you're cooking your night-time meal anyway. Roasting is the key to great pumpkin soup.

5. Remove from oven and place ingredients into large saucepan or pot with the stock. Bring to a boil.

6. Reduce heat to a simmer and let the soup reduce for 15 minutes.

7. Use a stick mixer or food processer to blend soup until smooth.

Her task in all this: I let her make my preferred garnish and supervise her for building intimacy purposes: 25 grams of hazelnuts in a dry frypan for 5-10 minutes until unevenly-browned, then rub skin off in clean tea-towel. Place a little bit of butter in the frypan, then fry 15 or so sage leaves from the garden until crisp. Combine on top of soup when serving.

Sticks of sliced apple will work in a pinch. I don't eat cream fraiche, sour cream, or cream myself but recognise they'd compliment the flavour.

It's a very filling soup and will warm her entire body up from the core out. On a cold day, you end up with a very relaxed kitten whose taste and smell senses are tingling from the hominess of a warm kitchen... game on!

Quote:The poll of more than 1000 Australians found 53 per cent of respondents revealing that the best way to get in the mood for romance is to share a home-cooked meal. This compared with 32 per cent who said a foot massage would put them in the mood and 40 per cent who liked to share a few drinks with their partner.

I hate fall. It's the worst time of year for me. Days get longer and colder. Everything is a miserable mess.

"Oh but it's so beautiful!" dipship. High fall only lasts a week. It goes from nice lush green, to pretty colors, and then a week later brown and grey. Fall is quick and bam it's gone. Now you have to clean up the nasty mess of leaves before they rot all over your lawn.

Finally, all of the "holidays" blow hard core. I am grateful I moved to a country that doesn't celebrate gluttony day (thanksgiving). The worst part is the climax of Christmas and New Years the two most over rated holidays of the year where a bunch of douchy relatives you can't stand to be around get stupid presents. Women shack up and finding dates becomes impossible. God forbid if you don't find a chick for the long haul.

The only good thing is high mass "bells and smells" at Church.

This year I had enough and booked a vacation to a warm country that doesn't celebrate Christmas.. At least it will be mildly warm and no one will be celebrating it. I think this is going to start a tradition where I travel to warm countries.

F*ck being with a bunch of whiny jack offs that I would never spend time with outside of some blood connection. For f*cks sake Jesus was born in March and here we are still celebrating this bullshit pagan holiday. One thing every other religion got right.

You definitely need to post here more often.
