Ahhhhh…last night I actually had a sound night’s sleep. My neck, while still a bit sore when I turn, is markedly better. The sun is even beaming in all of its corpuscular beauty. All of this makes me wonder…exactly what the hell is going on?I have no idea as to what I am going to write about later today, and that’s the way it has been going lately. But somehow my posts, at least to me, have been funnier than usual. I think there may be some divine intervention involved. Is the Almighty blessing me with a rapier wit for abstaining from meat? Has the government secretly set-up a humor for meat exchange program? Do I simply find myself funnier than I actually am? I must seek the truth.
And really, that’s what this Lenten sojourn is all about…seeking truth, forgiveness, and losing 10-12 pounds. When all is said and done come Easter morning, I will have been molded into a vessel for the Lord to channel his salvation to all the world. Move over Benny Hinn there’s a new mouthpiece of God coming to town…Oh ye of little faith and even less humor, God will be sending a messenger to you. Hosanna in the highest and behold…Matt-Man: “God’s Punchline”.
I will be back later today. Until then, bless you all and Cheers!!

A sojourn is nice and all, but did you know you can cook with beer (or dark ale in this case)!
Welsh Rarebit
4 slices dense, hearty brown bread
1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons dark ale (NOT beer)
2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat a broiler.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet.
Place under the broiler and toast, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, 30-40 seconds on each side.
Remove from the broiler.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cheddar and the dark ale.
When the cheese melts, add the butter, Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and the cayenne, and whisk together until smoothly melted and combined, 1-2 minutes.
Cut each piece of toast in half, diagonally, and arrange around the edges on a flameproof platter.
Pour the cheese mixture over the toasts so they are covered completely.
Place the platter under the broiler and broil until the cheese bubbles and starts to scorch in places, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the broiler and serve piping hot.
I have always wanted to make this Adav. I will report back as soon as I do. Thanks and Cheers!!
Glad to hear your neck feels better. I'm sure it's divine intervention for all your sacrifice, and not punishment for your blasphemous ways!!
Peace
Thanks odat, that's what I am certainly hoping for as well!! Cheers...
Rapier wit and God's punchline.
The beans must be sending gas bubbles to your brain.
Just keep the Tiger Balm away from your nether regions.
Otherwise, you'll be burning with something more than divine inspiration.
Keep up the sojourn.
Dont need the Tiger Balm Mo...My neck is much better today. Am I to glean from your comment that you are blaspheming my Divine Humor!?
Matty me boy! So wonderful to hear that your neck is feeling better. Must have been the virtual Tiger Balm and deep tissue massages I gave you in my dreams. Now, get thy arse to a store and buy yourself a proper "memory foam" pillow to support thy head and neck!
If you don't, I might have to take drastic measures...
"Molded into a vessel"which you will promptly cram full of Spam!
Glad your neck is better Sugar --one stiffie is all you need hehehe
Smooch
Thanks Songbird and take drastic measures on me, take them ; )
TB, my vessel will remain pure, rightgeous, and sanctified. Can I get an Amen!!?
Well they do say that losing weight goes hand-in-hand with getting good sleep. If someone doesn't get enough sleep, they get some sort of chemical imbalance which makes it hard to maintain a healthy weight. Needless to say I need sleep.
ANYWAY, I had to laugh at this:
Kidney Beans with onions, cheese, and sour cream.
Because, I thought those were your labels! :)
Those toxic fumes from all of the inner combustion is taking it's toll on you Matt!
I hope your able to get out before your head caves in....lol!!!
Love the blog man...it's a "gas" ;o)
how did you lose the wieght?
Thanks for stopping Deb...Ha, those would make for strange, if not disturbing labels. Cheers!!
Jillie, if I do explode, I'll have a friend of mine call you and alert you to the possibilty of a tsunami in your area.
I have lost about 60 some pounds over the course of many months mainly by avoiding carbs and eating meat, so this meatless thing is a pain in the ass Tkk.
OH..come..all...ye..meatless...come..and..rejoyce...him...Matt-man..haha know that song! after Easter barbeque is at your place!
We will gorge upon the fattened calf Roger!!
why do I have visions of the Easter Bunny on a rotisserie, Easter Sunday at your place???
Ha...Mo, He'd better be quick or he's...dead meat!!
Personally, I think you are having visions from you lack of meat.. and delusions of funny have invaded your brain.. oh and just so you know.. I have been writing all your posts lately..
Sorry to have burst your bubble!
Dear Mr. Bond while the line about you writing my posts lately is quite humorous, I see no humor in your trip to see Taylor Hicks in concert. Please reconsider.
OK - now dissing Mr Hicks is crossing the line into sacriledge!
