Urban Dictionary

Yes. We own one.

It's called The Little Hiptionary.

After my previous post concerning a 3-letter word that shall remain unsaid, I wanted to redeem myself, admitting that while I dislike internet-lingo, I am totally down with slanguage.

Ok, maybe not totally, but there are several words that I really love:

Chillax:  relax and chill/ "You need to seriously chillax"

Hip-ititus: disease of coolness

Ridonculous: ridiculous

Seriously: Like seriously, I think I overuse this term

Shut-up: "Shut-up! You didn't win tickets to the concert!!! Cool!"

Blandwich: bland sandwich

Bridezilla: evil bride

celebutard: I don't use this one because I don't like to say "retard", but in all the glory of the 1990's retard, celebrties are generally retards. Hence celebutard.

Crappuccino: since I don't like coffee, all coffee serves as crappuchino to me.

Ginormous: large

and the best for last:

Fantabulous!

I was using fantabulous before I realized that it was cool. While today, it's used in a positive way, I prefer to use it sarcastically: "That's just fantabulous, I can't find my ticket."

There are many, many more. If you don't own an urban dictionary, you should.

The SAUCE

I've been eating spaghetti for a long time.

If you are Italian, I respectfully ask you to stop reading from this point. More than likely, you have some amazing spaghetti sauce recipe that has been handed down from your ancestors. You are not welcome here.

Mom, if you are reading, you need to share your sauce recipe. The one you made for my Christmas basket. The one that I could have eaten by itself. Sans pasta, salad or bread.

For the rest of us, who have neither the talent nor patience to make a good spaghetti sauce, I present:

Newman's Own: Sockarooni

In my opinion, this is the best under-$5 spaghetti sauce on the market.
Newman's Own uses all natural ingredients, and it tastes so Fresh!

                  But that's not all.

This week I discovered Vodka Sauce.

I was longingly perusing the $8-10 sauces when I started to notice an abundance of "Vodka" sauces.

                  "Hmm, interesting." says I.

Hmm. Emeril has Vodka sauce. Emeril's sauce is only $4.

                    "Let's see what this tastes like."

        It makes your taste buds giggle with reckless abandon.


This is my new "Penne"sauce. Sockarooni for spaghetti, Vodka for penne.

Yum. I would advice that you try both.


{I even changed the music on my blog just for this post. Except I couldn't find any suitable Italian music. So this is Spanish guitar. Forgive me, I tried.}
