37 – Ode to Bacon-Wrapped Food

Published Jul 29, 2006

This post brought to you by Py!

Bacon is good. Bacon wrapped around other good foods is REALLY good. Thank you Capt Obvious!

Let’s start with bacon wrapped scallops. I don’t even like scallops. But Py made them once and wrapped them in bacon.. instant yumminess. Just toss it on top of some mashed potatoes and viola, it even looks pretty.

A google search brought up some interesting combination too. Like.. bacon wrapped prunes. I won’t knock it cause I haven’t tried it.. but it really doesn’t sound too great hah.

Bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp.. that sounds good. Bacon wrapped steak.. also sounds good. Bacon wrapped hambuger.. now we’re talking!

And then, there is the smoked corn with a piece of bacon wrapped around it. I hear you can eat the bacon but it *looked* raw so I never tried. But cooking it like that makes the corn really tasty.

… now I’m hungry. I have no bacon :(

Sonia just mentioned bacon wrapped hot dogs.. OMG YUM! I have hot dogs. But still no bacon.

36 – Vinz Eats Feet

Published Jul 29, 2006

This topic suggested by my momma who is horribly amused by the fact that my dog eats everything.

So the other day when I came home from vacation, Sonia came over to hang out and pick up her dolly that I had taken with me. We’re hanging out in the bedroom and Vinz is behind me playing with his squeaky toy. After a while, he got bored and went out into the living room. I was about to go get him, but he came back by himself with his little rope. I thought, “Oh awesome, I’m so proud, he’s finally learning what’s ok to chew!” … never think that about a puppy. EVER.

Shortly after, we go out into the living room and find.. DOLL HANDS AND FEET ALL OVER. He had eaten the hands and feet off of 2 of our dolls. Mind you, my doll has a face value of $150+ (hard to say for sure with the customs) and Sonia’s is over $300.

We of course, panic.

The Damage

At the end of the day it’s not a huge deal because the heads and hair were fine, and the bodies only run about $25 each.. BUT STILL! GAH!

34 – Let’s Rant About Ralphs

Published Jul 29, 2006

Since I moved, I’ve been shopping at Ralphs. I’ve yet to locate an Albertsons and Ralphs is close.

I don’t like Ralphs. The aisles are not really organized in a comprehensive way. They cost more most of the time. Their store brand is not as good.

… AND THEY DON’T EVEN CARRY TRES LECHES CAKES!! How very tragic.

33 – Moooooooooooo!!

Published Jul 29, 2006

I made the mistake of asking AIM Chat for post topics, hehe. Nikki suggested beef. I took the liberty of broadening the topic a little.

Let’s talk cows!

I love cows. They are responsible for such yummy things like hamburgers, beef jerky, and steaks of all kinds. They also give milk! I love milk. I love meatballs, I love hamburgers (well done please), I love ground beef with potatos, spaghetti sauce with meat… all cow! And without milk I could not enjoy my cereal. Or strawberry milk. Or ice cream, oh noes!

So I hereby dedicate this entry to cows. Cheers!
