“Do you know how those bags under your eyes come to be? It’s capillaries that bust and the blood pools there.” YUCK! Whoever came up with that ad idea alienated 50% of the country and attracted 50%. Maybe I’m off on the percentages but still, yuck.
Now that I have your attention, do you have an appetite? I need help with a hamburger recipe I want to try. Trouble is my grill has snow on it and I am a wuss when it comes to the cold and wont be out there grilling any time soon.
I was watching Worst Cooks in America last night, I know, this isn’t getting any better is it? But I was watching that show when they had to create a burger for a taste challenge and it hit me when I saw a few ingredients. I have cooked burgers with cheese in them before, not a very neat trick as much as it is done. Then I thought, I know exactly which one I would make and here it is:
A teriyaki burger with ginger and sautéed onions mixed in topped with a grilled pineapple ring or a pineapple chutney on Hawaiian sweetbread buns. I’d have a honey Dijon mustard as well. The side item would be a red cabbage slaw with sesame seeds and a sweet dressing. So one day soon I will be trying it. If you get the nerve before I do, test it and see if it works out and let me know.
I was reading a book about bugs with Keira tonight. Every bug she would ask me, “What it doos?” I’d tell her and if it had pinchers, I’d make the action of the pinchers and creep my fingers toward her and she’d say “No! That’s no good!” I’d also tell her when they would bury in your skin or bite you and make it itch and she would dig at her neck and scratch it: So funny. She was getting creepy crawlies!
The next thing I want to write about is yet another selfish thing. It is my blog. I have lately had a particular little ritual of my own that has provided me much relaxation at night. It is bad for me, but relaxing. I get my sunflower seeds, a root beer, some chewy sprees and my on demand TV. I eat the seeds till I am tired of them: loaded with salt of course but I love them! Eventually I tire of them and hit the sprees for a little. Watching my stupid TV this allows me to relax and mull over the upcoming baseball season. I know it’s stupid. But it allows me to let go of work and stress and think about eating seeds while the Sox are beating the crap out of the Indians or Twins: I CAN DREAM!
It’s a very important part of my day. I get to sleep easy after that and it really does relax me a lot. This has been a disappointing football season, I don’t watch hockey, and at least the basketball season is looking up. The Bulls are getting a lot of attention and my 3 favorite players are racking it up. Boozer, Deng and Rose are really playing well. I could care less about Noah. The one guy, Asik I like an usually has some break out games. I’d like for them to keep the lead in the fourth quarter and increase the winning side of the record a little more. I have had a few problems with Thibadeau and his style of holding players out in the fourth like one game he took Rose and Boozer out with 12 minutes left because he said he had a better defense in at the time. You lost. Was it really better and maybe it was offense you needed since you were OUTSCORED!
Anyway, they play the Heat this week and I would LOVE to see them join the ranks of the teams that have spanked their butts this week.
All right, back to reality and waiting on Spring and baseball and fishing.
