For the people who don’t know, I got a free bike with some rusty parts with an awesome duct tape grip. LAUGH NO FURTHER! My bike’s duct tape grip is officially replaced. Today I went to the bike shop with my dad and brother to get a new set of hand grips. The transformation of the bike began as soon as we got home. I pulled out my handy dandy razor and cut a off the old grip, and put some soap in the new one, so I can slide it in easier. I rode it around the block, so that I can position the grip properly for comfort. After that, we fixed up the rear brake, oiled the bearings, and polished the frame. Oh yeah, what a sexy bike!

It’s funny how my brother always runs to his desk and pretends to work when my mom comes home. I start laughing and try to put my brother on the spot. I ask him questions like, “Why are you pretending to work?” and when he starts to watch TV, I would say things like “Look! mom’s right there!” and he starts working again and slowly turns his head to check. LOL!

ENOUGH ABOUT THAT, let’s talk about food. Guess what I had for dinner? Porkchops with ONIONS and a side of thinly sliced potatoes with cheese and ONIONS. Did you know you have to cook pork thoroughly? like no redness whatsoever. Why? because they have internal parasites that can harm our bodies. This only applies to pork and chicken, but not beef, lamb, and… I can’t think of any other meat right now. If you overcook it, it gets kind of hard to cut/eat, so you have to cook it just right so you get a nice juicy slab of meat. Oh, a good tip when buying beef/pork is to look for marble. If you can’t find any marble meat, just take out a fork and start poking the meat everywhere- this tenderizes the meat . ONIONS, I love onions- I can’t stress that enough. They’re crispy and have that small kick to it that makes it awesome. My dad cooks greatt!
