"Look, everyone! Mama bought me a new bone today. I love it!!"
We cooked! Of course we did....isn't that why we're all here?? At least that's my reason for still calling planet Earth my home. I didn't get accepted into Saturn...those darn GRE's... No tears!! None. I've gotten over it and moved on....again, trust me, I'll be alright!
I have a big announcement regarding my meal this evening. I'll give you all a moment to take a seat. Grab a drink. Take a deep breath, or two. Totally up to you.... I am taking precautions, because as I have previously mentioned, I don't have insurance. In the lucrative world of blogging...ya gotta cover all of the bases...dot your I's and cross those T's...words to live by!!
We, being E.V. and myself, had a cheeseburger and onion rings for dinner. Best decision ever! Well, not exactly. Embellishment. Yet another one of my illnesses.. I try. I really, really do...
Ground beef...I specifically chose this package. It's special...just like me! Only not in a good way. hahahaha
Elements of a burger....C6H12O6. Hahahaha...no that is sucrose...I jest. Who doesn't love a little chemistry humor?? Chemistry makes the world go 'round! Just ask Avogadro (I've got his number!) Garlic, onion, soy sauce, a splash of cream....
Not your ordinary burger...would you expect anything less at this point?? This is the ultimate cheese and bacon filled cheeseburger... Cheese is the bee's knees. It is my Kryptonite. Well, cheese and cybercrushes. Can't help myself. Purely a weakness! I did have other photos of the cheese filling, however my less than adequate photo taking abilities preventing one from posting said shots. No disappointments...next time, guys! No worries!
Before I began frying up my burger....grill would have been my first choice, but I don't have a grill. Again, don't be sad....I'm not. I prepared the onion rings. I have never made my very own onion rings...so I am a little attached to these babies...
I used red...you've all heard my lecture on onion selection, so I will spare you the ugly details. Soak them in buttermilk. Why?? Because I said so, that's why! There is a reason, however it escapes my tiny brain at the moment. However, you will have zero regrets!
Once they've been chillin' in buttermilk, grab your tongs...don't be shy, and toss them around in some flour... It is their destiny! They won't argue...Have you ever heard an onion argue?? They may make you cry, but they will never argue! I've dealt with lots of onions. I speak from experience!
We're soooo close to eating.....it makes me want to drool. Drooling is not a bad thing, in certain situations. I say it is socially acceptable, in certain situations. I would provide a list of the ideal 'certain' situations, however, I won't bore you...
"Mama..you're getting better at this blogging thing...you're kinda, sorta staying right on track. I am impressed by your progress. My faith in you has been vindicated..." She's only being supportive because I bought her a new bone. Typical!
Why, thank you my sweet pea. She's my rock. My motivation. A super-special gal!
I was nervous about making my onion rings. It involved grease and frying and oil and stinky smells and third-degree burns. But then I considered how delicious one would taste. I went through the whole risk-reward evaluation....the rewards greatly outweighed my risks....Yep, for once, a good decision was made by Lesley Brennan. Put that on your calendars, or in your pipe and smoke it, as it seldomly ever happens!
Yay for fried foods....ummmmmhmmmmmm and yum!
Here is the cooked burger...
Again, we all are well aware of my thoughts on cheese. Cheese. It does a body good. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! OH, that and butter....butter is better...
Shall we cut to the chase and finally eat. I've only had a squished fig newton all day (don't even bother asking)..so I was, of course, starving. Well, now I am not, silly!
I threw in a pickle. You can't really beat a dill pickle. They're the cat's whiskers! Which is actually better, if you stop and think...bee's knees or cat's whiskers....this Saturday night's condundrum was brought to you by Starbucks..hahahahaha....not really...
After we ate...E.V. actually joined me in the bedroom/office/cave while I blogged.
"Hey, Mama...point that fan in my direction. It's hot!"
I felt it necessary to provide a status update on the drying of my herbs. Things are getting ugly around here....see for yourself...
Day #3 - Grumpy Smurf was incapable of handling the spider pressure. I had no choice but to call in additional troops. They are worthless!! I have one pre-approved application from That Guy. Things are looking up at this point. All criteria has been met! I will be expediting the process, as the position needs to be filled ASAP!
Tonight we have quite enjoyed The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie. I was skeptical about allowing myself to really like this song, and I did fight it. Seemed too.....um, there's a word... I'm not quite sure...but it turns out....great song. Quite catchy! Like MMMBop... Speaking of which, I couldn't let them go. A dear cyber-cutie friend of mine pointed out that I would be losing the presence of pre-pubescent rock magnetisim if I were to eliminate them from my life. I was in a panic and couldn't fathom the thought. I used my Jedi mind tricks on the computer speakers. They now play it on command. All is now right in my world....thanks to cyber-cuties, that is!
We'll be around again tomorrow. It's cleaning day! Hahahahha....we live the life, no??? Be sure and stay tuned...
