Clean That Drain! Easy way to clear up a clogged drain!


Got hot nasty drains... that wont drain... I have an easy solution.  
Heres What You Need:
Half cup baking soda
Half cup of vinegar 
HOT HOT WATER
A funnel... Or you can make one out of paper..
A tub stopper or drain stopper plug

Heres What You Do:
If you can see there is a built up of hair or something in the shower... Then at least clear that out. If you are doing this in the kitchen then hopefully there is not a build up of hair...
Next, put baking soda down into drain via the funnel...
Then, put the vinegar down the drain.. PAY ATTENTION.. Its gonna bubble like a volcano fast so, youll need to put a plug on it as soon as all the vinegar is down..
Give it a couple minutes plugged up to let it do its magic... 
Then unplug the drain and wash it out with Hot water for about a minute..
This should clear it up for a while...if it didn’t work then you may have some serious issues that need professional work..

HOLY GUACAMOLE

The best GUACAMOLE in the WORLD
Twitblogbookers, I am going to give you my guacamole recipe for free.  This is the best guacamole in the universe. I have spent months perfecting it and it is so simple but so satisfying.  I have spent days just eating each ingredient, but I do it for you. So for the love of all that’s holy, I present to you my GUACAMOLE! 
Heres What You Need:
ALL FRESH!
2 ripened avocados, when they are just a little soft that means they are perfect.
Quarter of a Red Onion 
Half a bushel of cilantro
Teaspoon to tablespoon Sea Salt
Quarter Lime 
Quarter/slice of jalapeno




 Heres What You Do:
In a food processor put the Red Onion, Cilantro, and Jalapeno in, process until they are in the smallest bits possible.




Next cut your avocados in half, take out the middle seed using the knife trick, 
BE CAREFUL, gently chop into the seed then twist and it will come right out attached to the knife blade.
Next scoop out the avocado into a bowl.
With a spoon, stab them until they are kind of broken down, then start smashing them with the back of the spoon until it is a perfect mixture of chunk and cream.

Once this has happened, add the ingredients form the food processor.
Mix them all in really well, then add the salt and squeeze the lime juice out into the bowl,  mix one more time really well.
NOW GUAC IT ALL UP!


LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES:)

BANANA PANCAKES ... Sam's key to winning over the one you love..


Sam’s Yummy Banana Pancakes
This will only take about 15 minutes...

Ok friends, I am going to share with you one of my favorite things to make for breakfast, lunch, or brinner (Breakfast for dinner for those that don’t know).  If you really want to impress those around you with your superb cooking skills then this is your recipe.  Its all from scratch and taste like winning. Have a girl or boy your trying to impress?  This is a must have recipe to go to then.  Tweak it to make your own type of pancakes too... You could add blueberries or pizza or whatever you want to it... Even if you don't like bananas traditionally, I suggest to try this out because they add a nice sweet fruit taste that is noticeable but not overbearing.  

Heres what you need:
1 Cup flour 
1 Tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch or two or three of salt
1 egg 
1 Cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
1 or 2 bananas ripe ready to go... (I use only 1 but 2 is great if you really like banana)
A few shakes of cinnamon 
A few splashes of vanilla 
Heres what you do:
Take all that stuff and put it in a bowl, mix it all up until smooth, then pour some out onto a griddle or pan or whatever you are choosing to heat it up with.  Start with lower heat as they can sneak up on you. Flip them when you start to see bubbles come up on the uncooked side.  (I suggest you practice your flipping skills if your trying to impress the opposite gender.)  I like to cook them on the stove with a traditional pre-seasoned wilderness cast-iron skillet.  This will make about 4 hefty pancakes.  


Now eat up
Let me know how it goes!

Chipotle Chicken Recipe......NOM NOM NOM







Boys and girls, young and old I behold to you a Chipotle restaurant chicken recipe that is darn near close if done correctly.  It has been tweaked, researched (mainly me eating it a lot by itself and youtube, internet searches), but this recipe was taken from a few workers who also share the passion for the holy grail of chicken and my own suggestions! So lets get to cooking so we can all NOM NOM on that smokey spicy chicken.....

Heres What You Need:




  1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (Need 2oz of the juice/peppers)
  2 tablespoons honey (A KEY INGREDIENT) 
  1 teaspoon black pepper
  2 teaspoons cumin powder
  2 tablespoons cilantro
  2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
  6 cloves garlic
1/2 red onion, quartered
1/4 cup vegetable oil
  4 chicken breasts or thighs...(the thighs are a little fatty but produce some more flavor) (6 ounces each)

Heres What You Do:
Take all the ingredients that are not chicken and put it in a food processor.  For the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can regulate how spicy you would like it to be by the amount of pepper you put in and the seeds in them. Usually if you just get one pepper in the mix and some of the sauce from the can it works out just fine, but its up to you!  Blend it until its a glorious smooth, puree, marinade.  
Take the marinade and put it over the chicken in a plastic bag and mix it up.  I like to beat the chicken up a little to make it more tender, literally, punch the chicken a bit.  Let the meat sit for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill to about 400 degrees and then cook the chicken until tender.  Put a pinch or two of salt on both sides of the chicken when cooking.   
Cut into squares and your ready to go. 
Remember that the chicken is usually mixed with veggies, cheese, sour cream, rice, beans, so you would be surprised how spicy, and smokey the chicken really is by itself depending on how you make it.  
TRY IT OUT! Enjoy!!!
Any corrections let me know on the recipe!

Fantastic, Super Fun Photo App for the iPhone


I had some time to kill the other night so I went and searched around the photography app’s for iPhone.  When I look for apps, I usually search by release date as there are tons of great app’s out there that never make it into the spotlight, but are worthy of having and sharing.  So I stumbled upon this one a little while ago and its called TRANSPHOTOS.  Basically you can take a new picture or pull one from your camera roll and then it will insert it extremely well into different backgrounds.  The app also includes some unique filters and basic effects.  I was entertained, laughing at myself, for a while and so were others that I was sharing it with.  The backgrounds include, newspapers, movie ads, the white house... and so on... Also the app is FREE! So check it out and let me know if you come up with any fun photos...
I took the most bro picture I could and inserted it into a couple for your amusement!
GET CREATIVE AND ENJOY!

Have You Jailbroke Your iPhone Lately?

After a couple years of having an iphone I finally got the courage to jailbreak it.  I was always scared that it would turn into a vegetable (get it? because it is an apple, which is a fruit to most experts) but after reading for a couple years of all the benefits and freedoms that come with it, I decided to try it.  Now, I LOVE IT! I don't know if I could ever go back. I feel like I have control over my phone much like I do over my computer. I can literally do anything I want to it.  My review after being free for over a month is all positive. I thought one day it had crashed but it was just updating my software and came back to normal working order. I swear my phone runs smoother now. The things that I really have latched onto is the texting applications.  No more having to switch to texting, it just pops up, and I send my text back and go on with my life.  No more boring backgrounds or security issues.  I can even use the phone for a wifi hotspot for free with the right third party app. Did I mention if you ever get sick of it or don't like the way your phone functions you can just restore it to your last back up via iTunes.  
Its so easy, so simple, legal, and free!
You'll Love It, You'll Love It!
To get started all you have to do is go to Jailbreakme.com
You can download the software right onto your phone, you don't even have to plug it into a computer.


Go to this site via iphone (jailbreakme.com) and instal Cydia, then from there, Cydia becomes your new app store.  It is set up much like Apples App store.  You can go through categories, install new things, uninstall things you don't like etc...
A few things I recommend is downloading a new theme for your phone, which changes the layout and look... Here is mine, clean simple


Another must have, is the texting app I was talking about, it is called QuickReply SMS, when I get a text all I do is click on it and then I can text right back, check it out
Finally I love the ability to customize the lock screen, here is mine, new font, lockbar gone.. (if you have private things on your phone theres an app for that too, you can put a lock on folders, pictures, text, and documents, its called iDJB).... and obviously a big pickachu as the background.  


So give it a try if you care about this kind of stuff:)






Egg Muffin "Sam"Wich

Quick, Tasty, and Zesty 


Looking for a quick and filling breakfast option.  
Heres what you need...






2 Eggs
1 English Muffin
1 Slice of Muenster Cheese
Splash of Olive Oil
Guacamole


How to create it:



Put English Muffin in toaster. 
While its toasting, pour a little olive oil into a cereal size bowl and coat the inside.
Put your two eggs in the bowl and scramble for about 20 seconds.  (Olive Oil will keep your eggs from sticking)
Next put the eggs in the microwave and nuke it for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds.  Your eggs will come out fluffy and in a circle shape thanks to the bowl, perfect for the muffin.
Your muffin should be finished, take it out and spread a little guacamole on the top.  Even if you don’t like guacamole, it really brings out the flavors of the cheese and eggs.
Take the eggs out of the bowl when its done and place it on the muffin.
Put a slice of muenster cheese on it. Muenster is a great breakfast cheese as it is creamy and melts super easy.  Not to intense for the morning hours either. 
Then close up the muffin and you have yourself a “Sam”Wich!




Enjoy!
