“Food is the second-most important thing in the world– it’s up to you to discover the first.”

Sarah has a cool local food blog going on which seems to get updated often. Local eats, crafts, and home cooked grub with pictures. me likey food pictures.

Their voices are a bit toodly wickers.

We searched all over for this crap. Not as much as Americone Dream, but close. Finally found it at the super saver on 27th and cornhusker. It has a chocolate frosting swirl mixed in there. It was really mixed in there though. It kinda over powered the awesome cake batter base, but it is still darn good.

I am a huge fan of the “natural” snacks that Lays has been putting out. The ruffles are really good. We saw regular ruffles on sale for $1.98 at super saver and I figured they would be good. It had been a long time since I had had a regular ruffle.

I could not believe how greasy they were. The grease was so bad that some were almost transparent. We talking thick with ridges ruffles. If you are going to buy potato chips go with the natural selection from Lay’s, they are really worth it.

Wisco posted about this. He is a member. Man does that bring back the memories. I love the rotating griddle. My family went in the evening cuz pancakes for dinner is awesome. If only they had bacon.

The impulsive buy shows how pathetic a Cheesy Bacon BK Wrapper is.

You just can’t put cheese on or in you and expect to be “cheesy.” If putting processed cheese slices over my nipples as pasties doesn’t make me cheesy, I don’t think the American cheese and smokey cheese sauce that goes along with your eggs, bacon, hash browns, and flour tortilla can or should make you “cheesy.”

He always cracks me up.

Late trip to the store Sunday night and I figured some white castle frozen burgers sounded good (I was sober). Well they sounded good, but the frozen onions on there were brutal. I know they supposed to have onions to be orig, but I will still try to order without onions if I ever do make it to a real WC.

Thunderhead brewery was our final destination Sat. I had heard their calazones were awesomr and was pretty darn hungry by the time we got there. I got a thunderzone and slpit it with Chris who got a meat filled calazone. Both were awesome. The fire oven made them quick and golden brown. They slather some melted butter on them and some parm cheese. The dough was perfect and the zones were not greasy. The beer ruled as usual.

We killed one keg and put the hurt on another before we hit Grand Island. Folks brought some food to pass around. One guy brought some deviled eggs, which was a bad idea. On the ride back the farts were dropping like crazy. You cannot roll down a window. 35 dudes who ate eggs and drank beer all day long was just asking for trouble. Some older gent horked in his seat and that just added to the stank. I showered when I got home. Theresa was surprised to pick up 4 fairly sober dudes after it was over.

The only reason to go to cold stone is their cake batter ice cream. Oh man that stuff is good, but the singing when you tip is horrible. I have to be very sneaky when I tip. Looks like Ben and Jerry have solved my issues though.

Saw a link to Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back and read their list. Right when it came to the tato skins I was like whoa man TGI fridays makes them now. Scoured the comments and saw someone gave them a shout out. I loved those tato skins as a kid and here at work they grace our vending machine.

So speaking of potato skins, we have baked potatoes once a week at least. We even used red potatoes this past week and did not find them to all that much different. I never eat the skins though. It is kinda funny because we olive oil and salt the potatoes before we bake them, but it is more for show. Well I tried a potato skin all oiled up and salted a bit back. Meh…..

DINK (double income no kids) has a local food review blog going on. I did not know we were dinkers, but that has a catch ring to it. Lets see, a review of a review blog, hmmmmmmmm….. nope not gonna go there. But, I will go there to read their takes on some places, you should too.

So speaking of food blogs, well kinda, that domain I bought is finally gonna get some work. Heavens knows there simply are not enough food blogs, and the world really needs another. So keep your eyes peeled for that. Basically I am gonna take every me make food post here and put them over there, work on producing more videos of the current things we have down good, Theresa has been working on the recipe list, and prob cross post everything here as well.

EDIT: jeeeeesh I did not even link to them on this post. Fixed.

very nicely bedazzled

We joked about it long enough, it was time to make dreams come true! Please allow us to introduce our first EVER pair of beef jerky underwear we call BRIEF JERKY. Note the time and care that has gone into crafting this wonderful undergarment. The attention to the properly placed groments that enhance the wearers comfort! We’ve even “bedazzled” this pair and added our Mixed Species logo on the back next to a heart of rhinestones. All in time for Father’s Day!

This is pretty funny. Some peeps were protesting flickr now allowing videos to be uploaded. Well a group against those against have started a group demanding free doughnuts.

I like doughnuts.

I got this at Guerroero market next to Geno’s at 11th and G. It is a Hispanic market and there are some stuff there that scares me. Check out the awesome website for the product. Click the pic below and choose all sizes to read the back of the package. I am now more dummberer. I bought this solely for you the readers. I took a bite of this ham jerky for you. Yes ham jerky. Cuz you know nothing tastes as awesome or is as safe as dehydrated pork.

How do I describe the taste? Well fortunately I will spare the blue collar jokes. It was not good at all. One nibble was all I made it through before they became dog treats.

Post mentioned in title

On Bread (and Butter) Alone

Butter is butter is butter, right? Sweet cream butters are all made with cream (from cows) that’s been whipped into a frenzied state in which the fats glob together and the water falls away. So it should all pretty much taste like butter, yes? Well… yes and no, actually.
