The Plight of the Over-committed

noreply@blogger.com (Xavier Axelson) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 20:07:00 +0000

I feel it is only fair to admit I have found myself watching Anne of Green Gables the animated series and actually enjoying it. I have always been a fan of Anne with an "E" most likely because I tend to be a bit dramatic and am a known for unintentionally making waves as was Anne. We are also both writers and live half our time within the a much nicer dream world. While she was prone to Shakespearean daydreams mine leans more to and English countryside. In fact as I watch an aggressive Asian Dominatrix fondle a fiberglass cane, I am definitely elsewhere.

That does not mean I have anything against an Asian Dominatrix who knows what she wants out of an instrument of impact.

But I digress...

Why bring Anne up at all? Well I was watching this cartoon last night and was told my members of my household that the lesson Anne was learning was one I should pay attention to. Mind you, I am 34 years old. Anne was overbooked and even though she was overbooked she found herself much more interested in playing hide and go seek and daydreaming about Fairy Queens then getting berries and cream to make ice cream for an event she was also performing in...do I even need to mention that Anne was performing Shakespeare and hadn't a lick of what she was performing memorized...NOT A LICK.

I was told I overbook, overextend and just plain overdo just about everything. I guess this is just one more quality that Anne and I share; also the intrinsic pleasure in doing nothing when there is most certainly a ton to be doing. I like Anne usually pull it all together in the end as I do have a passionate connection to all of my commitments but this does NOT stop me from over committing much to the horror of the ones I love most. As they are the ones who have to "deal with me." So what did I learn from Anne? I was asked this once the episode was over and now as I sit thinking about that English countryside where I most certainly would rather be...is that while everyone may hate a quitter, over-committers are also not fun and that every once in awhile it is best to not overbook as you can definitely miss out on home made blueberry ice cream! Hey I take my lessons where I can get em.'

That being said; I have a ton of goodies to share and a load of good things on the horizon for April. To get my latest updates go HERE.

My roast chicken...myself

noreply@blogger.com (Xavier Axelson) — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 20:02:00 +0000

I love roasted chicken. For awhile I might have actually been addicted to it. I have memories of sneaking over to the market and buying one of the already prepared birds at lunchtime and then snacking on it throughout the day. One day a co-worker caught me...brown paper bag hidden under my desk and before i could hide it she said, "Do you really have an entire roast chicken at your desk!"
Guilty.
I also remember eating roasted chicken in the grocery store parking lot, but really that falls more under the heading of lust.
I do NOT have a roast chicken addiction...I will never admit it. It has been forever since I overindulged in it and will only occasionally buy one for dinner when I just don't feel like cooking.
I must tell you that I have recently fallen even madly in love with Nigella Lawson, well MORE in love. She is a passionate, curvaceous British TV cook who might just be the only other person in the world who shares such a passionate, if not slightly obscene lust for food as I do.
I am presently working me through her amazing, funny, informative cookbook, "How to Eat" and at times it does tend to nod it's head in the direction of food porn. I'm not complaining and neither should you. I recently read the passage about how to make a roasted chicken aloud to my sister who turned and asked me if it was porn. I was titillated enough to embark on this journey if not for my own hedonistic needs then for my families hungry bellies. I have no problem having scape goats to use as decoys for my culinary adventures.
At first, when I bought the bird my house was not in the mood for roast chicken and the poor baby sat for two days awaiting it's transformation. I had bought shallots, garlic, lemon, tarragon and onions and red potatoes; all sat patiently waiting and greeted me each morning practically calling out in expectation. I also read and re-read and read again the almost sinisterly simple recipe. Surely I had missed something...
I did only buy 6 shallots when the recipe actually asked for 22 but I had the number six lodged in my brain and was sure this was the correct number, but being that Nigella does very little that isn't grand and abundant it was my bad.
So the day finally came when I was going to do the deed and I admit I read the recipe yet again. I started the chicken at 4pm anointing with oil and sea salt and half of a juicy lemon went up the butt along with a bouillon cube. I remember staring at it thinking; "this is so little seasoning, can this be right?" I added an extra tablespoon of olive oil to the pan as I was instructed in the anticipation of making a chicken jus when the done. I set a timer (something I have gotten in the habit of doing, it actually makes things MUCH easier) and went and watched a violently gross episode of Fringe while folding the weeks laundry.
About an hour in I went and tossed the shallots (unpeeled) and the cloves of two heads of garlic (again unpeeled) and whops I realized I had forgotten the tarragon so in that went as well. Tarragon is a lovely herb, I have memories of eating a fragrant lamb and pea stew that my great aunt made every year and loving the flavor of the tarragon that she used to flavor it. I need to cook more with it and was thrilled to be able to use the entire package in this dish.
I also had chopped up the potatoes and threw in a diced green pepper I had hanging about and half a white onion, added some olive oil, salt and pepper gave them a good shake in a sealed container an into the oven they went to meet their maker. I did look at the chicken and was again unsure if it was going to turn out as I was hoping but I've learned with cooking there always tends to be a moment of doubt that one must push through.
This is similar I find to writing my first paragraph of the day, or making the first crepe. It never quite turns out, but you end up pushing through it and eating it anyways.
So I closed the door and about half an hour later my house did indeed smell amazing. Lemony, and full of tarragon. Things could be worse. As I watched someones brain leak out of their ears on tv I wondered if I would be able to pull off the jus, I am not the best at gravy. I have been known to throw it down the sink and opt for the bottle of Heinz brown...I was hoping tonight would not turn out this way.
When there was about thirty minutes left of cooking time I went and threw some asparagus in a pan with some oil and a little sea salt and pepper and also squirted the other half of the lemon into the chicken pan and a little butter (well smart balance) but honestly you can't tell the difference. The chicken had transformed I noticed it was golden brown and the smell of the shallots, garlic and the roasted potatoes was divine. I was not going to mess up the gravy.
Finally when the timer on my microwave sounded and the episode of Fringe had ended I went and pulled the chicken from it's cozy home and was thrilled at how wonderful everything looked. The skin of the chicken was so crisp it was almost like glass. I let it rest for about 10 minutes and transferred it so I could work on the jus. I put the roasting pan on the stove; added some white wine, a cup of hot water that I had dissolved another bouillon cube in, grabbed a wooden spoon and said a prayer.
Well, the jus thickened perfectly, not a gravy, but more a chickeny jus that tasted delicious. The chicken was cooked to a turn; perfection! Juicy, flavorful and practically falling off the bone. Being that I cook for three and they can be picky, I was anxious but when my guy said "you can make this again," I knew I had hit it out of the park.
Dear Nigella, much love to you my dear, you are the queen of roasted chicken.
love,
an ever devoted roast chicken addict

The mustard pot and the spinal cord...

noreply@blogger.com (Xavier Axelson) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 17:55:00 +0000

I have had two cans of sardines in my cupboard for sometime...I have no idea why but in what I thought was a moment of divine inspiration I thought it would be great to throw a can on top of some freshly washed and seasoned baby greens (not a bad idea...right?) I also had some leftover veggies from the night before that I thought would add a bit of extra something something to my greens...I was actually excited! Hey didn't one of my favorite chefs Nigella Lawson make a dressing out of what was left in a Dijon mustard pot? and didn't I just see that recipe in Better Homes and Gardens recently? WAIT!
I should go back a bit...I did see the the mustard pot dressing recipe and I DID make it before and it was extremely delicious and being I had even less Dijon this time than that I figured it would be even better...
here is the RECIPE for the dressing!
Back to the sardines. so the dressing was made in the said mustard pot with a flourish, a shake and even some amazing dark amber wildflower honey that I so love. Dressing made, greens washed and slightly seasoned with a little lemon pepper and sea salt and voila there go the leftover veggies. The broccoli was so hopeful. Down goes a splash of the dressing and plop there goes the oily and extra yummy looking olive oil sardines...I was so excited...oh and wait how about a few triscuits just because...I need some crunch. I made an ice water gathered my lunch and went to sit back down and write my sex advice column that had suddenly came so clear as to what it would be about...I forked up a delightful bite, fish, lettuce, veg and that lovely mustard pot dressing...and there it goes down the hatch. It was good...I was happy and went about eating but suddenly, and not entirely like Ripley discovering her first alien...I saw what looked like a worm. I dropped my fork...my god...what was it? It was white, pearly almost in the mid-afternoon sunlight filtering through my blinds..it was definitely a worm, but wait...was it?
I pushed my fork against it, did it move or was I losing my mind? I could no longer be sure as my imagination had already taken flight and I knew I would not be able to eat the rest of the salad regardless of what it was...I pressed the fork down on the offending organism only to have it virtually melt under the pressure. Sure I may have squashed it as if it were not a measly worm but possibly a demon from hell...but how did it just fall apart? I looked around half expecting to see Steven King or the Crypt Keeper leering at me over the sofa.
It was just then that I found a second one and upon closer inspection realized that the offending worms were actually the spinal cords of the sardines...this did NOT make it any less horrendous and it was at this moment of clarity that i rushed to the kitchen and dumped the entire plate of food into the trash. I should have just had tuna.

Death of a year…

noreply@blogger.com (Xavier Axelson) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 17:53:00 +0000

Dear 2011,

Seeing this may be the last year before the hole in the milky way rips completely open and swallow us, I would just like to say…thanks for the memories. The food eaten, the music heard, the books read and most importantly…the lessons learned.
What’s that? There is a hole in the milky way?
Well could someone tell the slightly hysterical library aide who told me this at 9:30 in the morning? I was innocently, well as innocently as I ever do anything, shelving books like any good volunteer does while in library school when I ran into someone I was in class with…working at the library! When asked when they would be done with school (a question you ask every person who is in grad school…repeatedly…because you always forget) I was told they would graduate in 2012, which just happened to be when the world would be ending.
I could only stand and stare, not at this persoen, but beyond them at the homeless man who was ransacking the dvd’s, the motley collection of cd’s and at the water spots on the ceiling…
“It’s always something,” was the best I could muster…
“Well, there’s a tear in the milky way and it will eventually rip wide open and swallow the universe as we know it…”
The homeless man was completely mixing “Meet Me in St. Louis,” with the collection of National Geographic documentaries…chaos reigns…Would the world end now?
I hadn’t even really had enough coffee to fully digest a tear in the milky way but there it was…
“well, just think,” I said struggling to find an answer somewhere within the disarray of organization that is a library, finding none I could only add, “you’ll be doing what you love when the Armageddon hits, lucky you!”
Now why tell this story now on Dec 31st? Who knows…perhaps its because the inane top10 lists that populate every cultural avenue and spread like plaque psoriasis have left me itchy for a fresh start. It is no surprise to me that Robyn’s Body Talk masterpiece has been on nearly every musical top 10 list that I have seen…I knew this was something special from the first moment I heard “Dancing on My Own,”
p.s. I’m putting everything in quotes because after finishing a piece of writing I feel absolutely entitled to break as many grammar rules as possible so lighten up.
I am not surprised that “Black Swan” is on the lists as one of the best movies either, I knew from the moment I saw the trailer that the movie would be amazing. It amuses me that people don’t know and need a list to validate what choices they make during a year.
I also find it hilarious when people come to me, and they always do, and say “oh you know that movie, restaurant, shampoo, book, etc you told me about…it’s on so and so’s top 10 list!”
Great!
But darling this isn’t magic, I’m not psychic…well maybe a little…but honestly it’s simply that I listen to my instincts. I don’t think we as a society listen to our guts, our instinct, our inner voices and maybe it is because the tear in the milky way is really a vacuum and has sucked our most primal sensitivities up into the night sky, if only to make us feel less when fire and brimstone comes raining down in2012…I have no idea!
So what will my resolutions be for the new year? To love more, listen more, talk less, read more (if that’s possible) definitely write more (this is definitely possible) eat more, drink more, celebrate more, give more, indulge more, provoke more, dance more, exercise more…more more more..because kids who knows what the new year will bring?
Don’t save your favorite scent for some special occasion wear the hell out of it every day. Break out the good dishes and for goodness sake if not for you, for me open that bottle of wine, champagne, what have you and drink it! Drink it straight from the bottle and stuff a piece of Belgian in your mouth as well…this is not a dress rehearsal, and why that may be cliche it is true! One time, one dance, one way, one journey…one one one…not 2…one…If you don’t know what to do with yourself and many of us don’t at one point or another do something for someone else…if you think you have nothing to give your wrong! Don’t ask me to tell you what you have to give…you’ll figure it out.
I recently finished writing a piece that involved a sex scene with a loaded gun. I found the danger and eroticism of this not only edgy and hot but also appropriate for the story. I was stunned by the different reactions I got to it…some thought the gun shouldn’t be loaded…it smacked of terrorism and the Russian roulette of STD’s …others said the danger of a loaded gun was incredibly hot and erotic…I realized once rereading and rereading (which is what we writers do) that it really wasn’t a big deal whether the gun was loaded or not…it was the idea of the gun so I say this to say this…
Really reread your scripts this year, I know I will…you may find that what may have been a big deal to some may not be a big deal to you now…make sense? Maybe not…it’s early and I’m only one cup of coffee in…draw from it what you will…
so as we move closer to 2012 and the tear in milky way may or may not destroy us all…I hope that 2011 is full of things for you to tear into, desires to indulge, food to eat, drinks to drink, new experiences to experience, kinks to iron out, books to read and songs to sing because this is life…and to quote The World According to Garp by the fabulous John Irving, which I have been reading over the last year…”we are all terminal cases…”
Get over it and celebrate!

Milk Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding

noreply@blogger.com (Xavier Axelson) — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 00:02:00 +0000

Before you even ask…Oh yes I did…and I would do it again if I had the chance. Here’s the thing, it was my anniversary, well our anniversary this weekend; 12 glorious years! Someone recently asked me, “what’s the secret?” and I responded, “we talk to each other!”
This isn’t a blog about relationships. This is a blog about food and sex. My anniversary involved both. I’ll tell you about the food part. As a surprise I was taken out to dinner to Chaya Downtown a fabulous eatery that was blessedly quiet aside from the massive Asian Holiday party that made the opening scene in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom look like a church on Sunday…but I digress
The service was great, there was some confusion over what type of water we wanted that involved conversations between everyone who was working the floor and after a Bombay martini I almost had to break it off, but that aside all went well.
I had Valencia Paella…would I like to add a lobster tail? Yes I would, thank you and goodnight. We started with shrimp tempura sushi and finished with milk chocolate bread pudding and several Bombay Sapphire Martini’s. Look, I didn’t make it this far being sober…why start now? After all it’s my anniversary and I earned it!
I was then rewarded with gorgeous flowers (peonies), cards, Godiva’s and a fabulous book on my favorite vintage designer Vera. People, if you are not getting truffles from the one you love, please do something about it. I’ll even forgive if they are not Godiva’s or from Belgium, but please, please treat yourself. I’m telling you that you’re worth it.
Frugality Fatigue is on the rise and let’s hold hands and promise not to ever be frugal again! Well, at least not when it comes to chocolate. Amen. You see prayer can be good for you!
Look, I’d be unkind if I didn’t recommend that you see Black Swan or didnt read my article about it so I’m telling you, go go go see it!
Black Swan is a complex, twisted and eerily wonderful movie. It is driven by a multitude of themes of which I could expound for days, but I won’t. What I found remarkable about the experience of seeing the film was the crowd itself that was waiting to see it. While waiting in line the name of the movie was uttered so many times that at one point I wasn’t sure if people weren’t using it as a mantra.
“Is this the line for Black Swan?” Black Swan, Black Swan, Black Swan…it was as if we were all participating in some underground experience that should only be uttered in whispers. Everyone knew that what we were about to experience was going to be fantastic. I say all this to say this: with such an intense movie such as Black Swan, why was it that for days before, maybe weeks before, the only thing I heard or read about was the kiss between Mila Kunis (wonderful) and Natalie Portman (sublime)?
Is a scene that involves two women kissing still a shocker? Does anyone remember The Hunger starring Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve? You want a lesbian scene to talk about, let’s start there. That movie came out in the 80’s and it is that scene that stands out to me as the best Lesbian scene in a movie. It is tasteful, erotic, sensual and beautiful. Now so many years later the internet is abuzz about Portman and Kunis as if we have never seen this before. In a world where people are constantly claiming to be desensitized, how is it that this type of thing is still off the charts enough to generate so much buzz? Especially in a movie as complex as Black Swan, how is it that what people are claiming is shocking is the love scene between the two women? Without divulging to much, the said scene is erotic and well done and I will declare it very brave indeed for both women to participate in it but let me also say it was NOT the part of the movie that made me almost start clapping.
I won’t say anymore about it. I’ve said enough. Hit me up tho once you peep it and tell me what you think.
Oh by the way my dirty little romance is out and about and ready for the buying so be kind support an up and coming erotica writer! Do your part to support erotic gay romance…you know you want to. I also sold a second work that will be coming out for Valentine’s Day and have started working on a Cowboy themed story ( I know some of you are laughing) but what can I say? I write what people want and am happy to be able to turn people on with my words. One day I’ll return to my horror roots…or not. Danielle Steele, Stephen King, it’s all semantics.
Speaking of Stephen King (and when really am I not) I came across one of his books called Under the Dome that seemed intriguing, has anyone read it? It looked like it was about 10,000 pages. Frankly, I’m not sure I can do it. I finished The Scarlet Letter and have moved on to my other literary nemisis The World According to Garp. I will finish it I will I will. Both books are actually wonderful. I love Garp, it’s just taking me forever to read it. I am also firmly planted in the Arthurian saga The Mists of Avalon and really am to invested to jump ship at this point.

It seems I am destined to read epics right now and will do so with grace.
