2012 ends; 2013 begins

2012 was an interesting year to say the least. I brought in the New Years with my best friends, went to work at Disney World, learned more than I ever planned or wanted to learn about myself, grew up, met someone who changed my life, and overall improved as a person. I got my first non-theatre job, which only fueled me to work harder. Came back to school to my new apartment, realized how hard school is after working for a semester, was in a show with an amazing and supportive cast, and had a letdown that only fuels me to work even harder and show my assets. 2012 was a great year for me overall, and I really hope that 2013 brings me even more. A Happy New Year to everyone!

My New Obsession: The Onion

I am starting to have a new problem, and that problem is caramelized onions.

A few days ago, I was laying in bed and all I could think about was waking up and making caramelized onions. So I had to find a vessel for those onions, and I decided on top of a burger. Fair enough, that makes a lot of sense. I woke up, I made a burger with caramelized onions and my need for onion was satisfied…

Until I was in bed a few nights later, I wanted more caramelized onions. So I was in bed and thought about a different way to add onions. So I decided to wake up and have a Swiss cheese and caramelized onions omelet. I normally just have my eggs over easy or scrambled with some cheese and hot sauce, so I was worried the onions were going to be too much for me, but boy, they were AMAZING. This omelet was so delicious, I instagrammed it; here is the picture.

I thought that this craving had started to be subsided, until again, I am in bed and thinking about onions AGAIN. So I wonder what food I have in my kitchen and what would I be able to add to these sweet golden brown delicious strips. The answer I came to?

…. Nothing. (Other than a sprinkle of bread crumbs and garlic)

I have fallen in love with onions this past week. Caramelized onions have climbed up to be one of my favorite foods because I think they are delicious and should be put on top of everything.

I like my onions to be very tender. I don’t like raw onions at all, but I love really cooked down caramelized onions. I’ve always loved French Onion Soup and Blooming Onions, but that’s really it. So to anyone doubting their love for the caramelized onion, to you I say to cook it yourself and to make it the way you think you will like it, and who knows, maybe you’ll be the one having dreams about food.

Until next time,

Bobby

Christmas and Lists

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone’s Christmas, assuming you celebrate it, was amazing! We had a really nice family party at my house. We had a lot of people over and there was so much food!

Recently, I also planned that over my Spring Break; I will be going to Disney World! I’m very excited, because I spent a semester working at Disney World and have dying to go back ever since!

However, back to Christmas night, I think being away at college has made it hard for me to sit and eat a large meal all at one time because this is what my plate looked like.

Granted, I ended up snacking so much about an hour after this picture, so I think it’s still safe to say I’m an unhealthy eater.

Family and Desserts for Days

THIS IS DELICIOUS

So, if you’re wondering why this post is being posted at roughly 2:30 AM, I can’t sleep. And if you’re like me, when you can’t sleep, you make lists.

So here are the lists that I came up with tonight.

An Average Meal

Hello everyone!

In order to understand how dynamic this new lifestyle is going to be for me, I thought it would be interesting to show what an average day is like for me.

So after casually waking up at 1:34PM, which is mostly in due to the part that I didn't set an alarm and didn't get much sleep the night before, and was craving a big meal.

I saw that we had onions, and I have been craving caramelized onions since I saw them, so I decided to make a burger with caramelized onions on top.


First thing first, I NEED coffee. I know people are always saying that, but I can't imagine a day that doesn't begin with coffee.

Usually at school, I brew a pot of coffee for the day, but at home we have a Keurig, so I had some WIDE AWAKE coffee and put white chocolate flavored creamer in it.

SO GOOD.

An Intro:

Hello there!

If you’re here, more than likely I spread the word on this and you know me, but if you don’t, here are a few key basics facts about me.

I’m 21 years old.

My favorite color is a pale yellow.

My ideal burger is a medium rare burger with BBQ sauce and onion rings on a toasted bun.

I believe that if I were an animal, I would be a flamingo.

I love eating.

I recently watched a documentary called “Vegucated” and it got me thinking about how I eat.

I’m a male theatre major in the Western New York Region.

I didn’t get cast this semester, though I am Assistant Directing and Choreographing my favorite show, Into the Woods.

Since I didn't get cast this semester, I'm convincing myself I will have more free time.

Which leads me to my next point, starting on January 14^th, I will officially begin my own social experiment: I will try to become a vegetarian.
