I don't wanna eat my grandma

The Norwood doth protest too much, methinks.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

If GM had Warren Buffett money, he'd buy and eat all your grandmothers.

No. Had to take a brief hi ate us this week.

UCLA's cheerleaders are wholesomely attractive, and I am going to miss them.

A Raisin Roundtable

Raisins are polarizing, and for good reason. Dried, shriveled grapes don't sound like the most appetizing of foods, and they have a tendency to ruin a good thing.

While raisins get a bad rap, it turns out that most of the food editors we asked are pro raisin. Eighty-eight percent of the editors we asked are team raisin. Sadly, many members of team raisin are there reluctantly. Raisin lovers, it would appear, have been forced to feel ashamed of their preference for this ugly little fruit. We're pulling the veil down for raisin lovers everywhere: You are not alone!

Executive Food Editor at The Huffington Post, Kristen Aiken, believes:

"Raisins are wrinkly like your thumbs after you've been in the bath for too long. Yes, sometimes they are extremely booger-like. Aside from their wonderful sweetness and chewiness, their most redeeming quality is the ability to remind you of your grandma and make you feel like you're having a wholesome moment in the midst of your ridiculous life."

In other words, raisins = grandmothers.

We have been adding pecans and raisins to our cobb salads lately (blue cheese dressing) and are loving them. Not a new idea but haven't had them in a salad in a long time and had forgotten how much they add.

Naan sucks

Hiking sucks

Cats sucks

Pizza Ovens sucks

Moving sucks

Oh that is just about enough.

ETA: Actually eating naan at this very moment.

ETA2: And did a 2-1/2 hour hike this morning. And there are at least two cats in my sight right now.

Knew it would work

 

[Limp Ditka]

you got raisins in my Cobb salad

Way to ruin two great things, guy

So I am pretty excited, we just joined a farm CSA (community supported agriculture) for meat and our first pickup is tomorrow. 100/mth for 18-20lbs of fresh meat

I should look into something like this next year

Just committed to a 1/4 cow. Have to freeze but it tastes fine to me

 

[Mr. Pickles]

I had some naan last night. Awful, repulsive stuff. I have no idea how anybody could possibly eat that crap.

Seems shticky.

So apparently you can order the 1/4 cow or 1/2 pig or any cut of meat you want throughout the year. All fresh. No GMOs, hormones and all free range. The ground beef is typically 92/8 which is nuts. You get fresh bacon every 3/4th month too I think...not sure 100% of what you get on a regular basis but for 100/mth it's definitely worth it.

ETA not sure where you are but I'm in IL and this is the only meat CSA in our state, everyone else is veggies which is what I was initially looking for.

[Drifter]

Baby wipes and a gun.

Explain to me again why people go camping?

I've never had any interest in it in the past. I don't think that camping with a bunch of Boy Scouts (or adult scouting people) is going to be much fun.

Since I have gotten more into hiking I am intrigued with the idea of doing a 2-3 day backpacking trip in the North Cascades.

You've been speaking to Krista about September, yes?

I feel like a caveman when you guys talk about food. I like steak and potatoes no matter how they are prepared. I'm a simple man.

Now and again it still bothers me that I never achieved my childhood dream of being able to dunk a basketball.

You can do it.

Wear a 30lb weight belt and stay on your feet all day. Do it for 3 months. Go to local playground and throw down

Did I miss this week's interesting fact?

No. Had to take a brief hi ate us this week.

What happened with the stolen door stopper?

I took it out last Tuesday. She was out until this Monday.

She came in and went to prop open her do. She says she actually tried to use her foot to kick down the stopper. Alas, there was no stopper there. It took her a second..."WTF...Where's my do...MALLOY!".

I let her suffer for a couple of hours and then screwed it back in.

A couple of days ago she put a sign on her door that said "Due to numerous complaints about my door being propped open I will be keeping it closed from now on. If this inconveniences anyone please file a complaint in room 12 (my room)".

Wow. Who'd have thunk it?

Not all that exciting, but I feel like I should update for my sad married friends:

New chick: went out in west seattle. Got typically drunk. Rode ferry home and made out in the back seat of my truck like teenagers.

24 year old: Broke up with her boyfriend; going out next week.

Knuckles: called me tonight. Talked for an hour. This is happening.

Ex future ex: in play as always.

Pretty weird dream last night

My girlfriend's mom was driving us around in my truck and she was yelling at Tiffany for her jean shorts being too short. We drove past a new hamburger place that had a dancing banana outside but we didn't stop. We ended up at a huge shoe store because my Nike Air Force One's were dirty (I don't wear these shoes IRL) and Arnold Schwarzenegger was there. He was trying to get out of the door but was having issues even though it worked fine. He kicked the door down. I was pretty excited about that. Arnold and I went out to my truck to listen to country music (I don't listen to country music IRL) and a group of black teenagers pulled up next to me and told me they liked my shoes.

Does he threaten her with 'I'll rip your arm off and beat you with the bloody end' too?

Because if so, we might be brothers

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Stayed home from work today sick. Slept until 12:30. It was absolutely glorious. But, I drank so much Robetussin (sp?) that my head is in a perpetual fog. At least the sneezing and runny nose are gone, but jeusus...I feel like I went on a date with Darren Sharper. Too soon?

It would be too soon if you were Bill Cosby making jokes about Sharper, but for the rest of us he is fair game.
