Day 6

Supernatural Challenge

Something you don't like

I don't like Bobby being dead. Like I said on the Day 5 of this challenge, he always looked out for the boys. In the video below, he sold his soul in order for the boys to get the 4 rings to stop the apocalypse!

A Recipe

I'm not great in the kitchen to be honest... yes I fail as a stereotypical woman.. There was a reason I did Tech Graph instead of Home Ec in school!! Here's a Sloppy Joes recipe from early college days! Before I got comfortable with cooking chicken, I ate a lot of minced beef!

Sloppy Joes

What you need:

• 2 pound minced beef
• diced onion
• diced celery
• crushed clove of garlic 
• can of tomato soup
• 4 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp Worcestershire
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 8 burger buns
• Add a finely chopped pepper if you like it spicy!!

What you do:

1. Fry the minced beef until completely browned. 
2. Add onion, garlic and celery, let fry for 5 mins over medium heat. [Add pepper here if you want them]
3. Stir in can of tomato soup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce into pan. Season with salt. (You can add more salt if you want, say 1/2 tsp, I'm just not a fan of salt!). Simmer over low heat until cooked thoroughly. 
4. Spoon into toasted burger buns.. 
5. I like cheese so melt some on the burger if you fancy :)

Messy but Tasty!!!

My Favourite Pairing

My favourite paring could be either Dean and Cas or Dean and Bobby… you’ve probably noticed the common factor here, anything with Dean is good! Since I haven’t mentioned Bobby yet… Let’s go for Dean and Bobby. When John Winchester died, Bobby pretty much took over as a father figure to the boys (some would say he was always the father figure!). Sam and Dean are basically Bobby’s weak spot, he cares about the boys. Bobby is an aging hunter who is world weary. He’s sarcastic, brutally honest and he saves the boys’ asses more often than not. In my opinion he is basically an older version of Dean! When Sam was MIA for whatever reason, Bobby picked up the slack to replace Sam.

Here are a few good Dean and Bobby scenes (that I could find on YouTube!)

"Are we done 'cause I'd like to get out of this room before we both start growing lady parts"

These two scenes simply show how much they care for each other. As he says, "Family don't end with blood, boy!"

IDJIT! :P

About Me Challenge

A Good Book 

There are a good few that come to mind. The last book I’ve finished is brilliant. It’s called ‘A Storm of Swords’ by George R. R. Martin. It is part of the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ book series (the books behind the ‘Game of Thrones’ tv series on HBO). ‘A Storm of Swords’ is the 3^rd installment in the series and, so far, the best! 

This book definitely gets a 5/5 from me! Granted you have to read the previous two books to figure out what in seven hells is happening!

Oh.. Sorry, My Bad :P

Just a little thing that happened over the last day... which I think is kind of funny! (and it'd take more than 140 characters to explain it...darn you Twitter! ha)

Someone specifically asked for my opinion on something. So of course I gave it... It wasn't a nasty opinion in any way, just a general observation at the start followed by a compliment. An observation that anyone would have come to to be fair... But looks like I'm in the dog house now! Passive aggressive much? :P

I'm sorry for giving my opinion when asked for it... My Bad :P Shan't make that mistake again! HAHAHAA

And to them, I'd like to say...

Favourite character entrance

"I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition"

"Good things do happen Dean"
                   "Not in my experience.."

And so started the story of Castiel, the angel!

About Me Challenge

Your favourite actor

Tough one. I'll try not to pick someone based on hot they are! (If I did that it would be Kit Harrington, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bradley Cooper, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Mathew Gray Gubler... list goes on)

Toss up between Johnny Depp and Liam Neeson! Yes Johnny Depp is hot but he is so great at playing mad eccentric characters and he rarely looks like his hot-self in films.

Liam Neeson! One of the all time greats! He really is the kind of guy you want as your dad... no one would mess with you! When he plays a character he really gets into it and totally convincing. From the doting Dad in Love Actually to the determined father kicking asses to get his daughter back in Taken. From voicing Aslan in Narnia to portraying Michael Collins. He has had a wide range of characters and has nailed every single one of them! How he hasn't won an Oscar is beyond me!!! He deserves a few!!!

Also here is a link to a site that has a list of the top 10 bad ass movie scenes by Liam Neeson!! "10 great moments in Liam Neeson badassery"

Oh and for a 60 year old man, Looking Well Liam ;) 

Liam Neeson Strips for Charity!

Best Dean death scene

Dean just keeps on dying and visiting Hell and Purgatory... but thankfully he always comes back! If Dean going to Purgatory could be considered him dying I'd use that. But he isn't exactly dead - no corpse like!

So I am going to go for the one of the MANY times in Sam's Groundhog Day :P (the other times he died by hell hounds aren't so pretty!) Think my favourite is the sausage... though if only we saw more of the shower scene ;)

About Me Challenge

A movie you want to see

Currently in my local cinema the following films are being screened;
Savages, Lawless, Looper, Anna Karenina, Paranorman, The Three Stooges, Brave, The Source

Out of these I most want to see is Looper! Probably mostly due to Joseph Gordon-Levitt being in it! There are so many films coming out in the not so distant future like Taken 2 and The Hobbit which I really want to see. But at the moment, Looper is on my to do list! Check out the trailer below :)

Your Favourite Character:

It's toss up between Dean and Cas... but I'm going to go with Dean Winchester. Who can resist his green eyes, cheeky smile and just general ruggedness... RAWR!

Jensen Ackles (Dean)

Still wouldn't kick the angel Castiel outta bed though.... 

Misha Collins (Castiel)

And look, a picture of Destiel ;) 

About Me Challenge

Your favourite quote:

There is so much to chose from! I have quote a few on my 'Quotes and Sayings' board on Pinterest..

My favourites are (I can't chose just one!!):

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best"

- Marilyn Monroe

"When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead"

 - Hemingway

And finally a very funny quote from Jeremy Clarkson!

"Speeding has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you"

 - Jeremy Clarkson
