Family reunion 2013

We had our family reunion today on my family's farm in Vermont. It's amazing to think that so many people exist today because 2 people (Roscoe & Sarah) got together. And then I get a bit depressed because I'm "breaking the chain" by not having children.

Hitting the sauce...

My mom told me that my dad is currently going through 2.5 gallons of booze a week. I knew he was hitting the sauce hard just not THAT hard..

BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf

I made this last night, it was the best meatloaf I've ever made!

BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf
1 package bacon
1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/3 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Cajun seasonings
1 heaping tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup whole milk
3/4 cup cup barbecue sauce (reserve half)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and fold up edges making a dam to catch the drippings/fat.

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients but with only half of BBQ sauce

With your super duper clean hands, mix until combined and then form into a 9x5 loaf.

Top with remaining BBQ sauce and then wrap with the bacon

Tent for with foil and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (to prevent the bacon from burning). Remove and cook for the remaining 30 - 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest at least 10 minutes, Slice and enjoy

*sigh*

It's amazing how one unexpected fat-shaming comment can transport me back to my teenage years, completely insecure and thinking everyone is making fun of me as I walk down the street

It's Fuck This Shit O'Clock!

Gregg Marsili helped cover up my friend's rape

He makes me sick!

The incident in question involved a woman named Panayiota Bertzikis, who enlisted in the Coast Guard in 2005. Ms. Bertzikis was serving at the Coast Guard station in Burlington, Vt., in 2006, when she alleged she was raped by a fellow Coast Guard member. According to Ms. Bertzikis, her claim was never investigated by her commanding officer, Mr. Marsili, and no charges were ever filed against her alleged attacker. Instead, Ms. Bertzikis said she was “revictimized” by Mr. Marsili’s inaction. Her experience lead her to create the Military Rape Crisis Center, for which she serves as executive director. As recently as 2011, Ms. Bertzikis was one of 17 plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against Defense Secretary Robert Gates and his predecessor, Donald Rumsfeld, for the Pentagon’s handling of reported rapes and sexual abuse.

Loved this quote from Mad Men

“I'd tell you to go to hell but I never want to see you again.”

Sometimes it feels like no one knows me at all.
