Phinneas...Phin for short..

Well..as I have professed from the very beginning...The Fred Meyer has EVERYTHING!  That is where I met Phinneas...and for $5.64 he was mine!  I call him Phin for short...He's a little rotund...a little orange...full of seeds..but a heck of a nice guy!  We're going to catch a movie in a bit...but I'm not gonna hold his hand...shhhh...he does not yet know this, but he is not quite my type..  His pants are not big enough...he owns zero beanies...doesn't wear his baseball cap backwards and leaves the seat up...So, essentially we were doomed from the get-go..but, heck, I'll get a movie and some popcorn out of the deal... you can't quite go wrong...tisk-tisk...

"Oh, Mama...You gonna do that to this guy...??? that breaks my heart..At least get him to Swiffer our kitchen before he gets the boot..."  Well, my sweet pea..he is NO Chainsaw Juggler.....

We ran errands again today...and worked on perfecting the automobile photography..As I previously mentioned..the niche is small...the expectations minimal AND my abilities...miniscule.....hahahahahaha..

"Hmmm..Mama...I don't like it here..please take me home.."

"Yeah, Mama...it doesn't matter how much you paid for this car...they all look the same after the wreck..Merely an observation...."  She should have sit in the back seat after that...

After we drove around town...running errands and such...we cooked!  Heartburn City...to be quite honest...At least it was a trip into the big city..of heartburn!!  Woohoo!!  Buffalo Burger with jalapeno and cream cheese, fries and corn...I should have used only half of that jalapeno..That'll learn me, no???  hahahahaha...I always hated that...Wrong on sooo many levels...So many, many levels....I really did dislike that...

My inclinations for distractions aside...the burger components...as that IS how I roll..I am a west-sider..mind you...and would have it no other way ;-)

Buffalo, Cream Cheese, Garlic Paprika, Balsamic and Jalapeno....a clever combination on the road to an amazing burger...I kid you not, as I do not kid...The Grand Poobah of Burgers...nooo?????

The burger was in store for a surprise..of sorts...the toppings...I invited them, however, failed to mention this to the burger..no worries..they all got along well...whew.............

Pickles, mayo, ketchup, lettuce...onions and mushrooms sauteed in butter...the usual..

Here they are all chopped up...I have a way with chopping things...I do..for reals!

Now, the burger was hardly usual...it was layered...complex..spicy...much like me...hahahahah....not really...I JUST could not resist...I tried super hard to step away from that joke..but was paralyzed!  By the HUMOR in that sentence....if I were to break it down and analyze...I would probably collapse into a heap...hopefully in the arms of a chainsaw juggler..ummm, moving along...

You create the burger..top with the jalapeno cream, then place the other half atop the first half...

A stuffed burger...

While that took place, I cooked up my mushrooms and onions...because multi-tasking is one of my super-powers...shhhhhhh....

I made french fries...I was skeptical...the grease...the mess...the odor..however, I could not help myself..and they were perfect to accompany a burger..and totally worth each previously aforementioned con and complaint...delicious, in fact!

I also had some corn on the cob...minus the cob....my knife skills have greatly improved...and I can do wondrous things...shhhh..don't let the Band-aids company know...they'll drop the sponsorship...shhhhh...

Again...our evening has been filled with nonsense...and Avril Lavigne...that is a super shhhhh...I know...I know..I have TRIED...but she sings about those skater boys...and I love them..in those big pants and beanies and such..and chainsaw jugglers...I really, really tried...I will just stop now..it is best...please forget I even spoke of such things..

Dinner, my fellow friends...

The Monday Night Burger Meal...not nearly as delicious as chainsaw jugglers..but improvisation is necessary at times..go on a date with a pumpkin..as tomorrow he will unsuspectingly become a Jack-o-Lantern..tee-hee...Knee Socks Rock..as to skater boys....and butterflies...and chainsaw jugglers.....Like Arnold...I'll be back...See all y'all tomorrow...
