Human and Tortoise Strawberry Treats
Category: food
Today, organic strawberries were on sale for $2.50/quart. They were pretty yummy.

I bought organic cream, raspberries and ghirardelli chocolate to go with it.

I whipped the cream with out new beaters, it felt like cheating because I have been using the old fashioned crank ones for years, till (e:lilho) insisted we get the electric ones during her visit. I added a little vanilla nd sugar. Then I sliced the berries and rubbed them in a little organic, evaporated cane sugar and hand grated the chocolate over the top.

Basra (e:paul,32584) got a treat out of it too. He loves the strawberry tops.

Speaking of treats for Basra, he got a new UV lamp today and also discovered humping things. I think its like a whole new world for him.

(e:zobar) - those are definitely awesome... (esp minus the cream, sugar & vanilla)

omg zobar I have that thing, and it's pretty much... AWESOME.

It would seem so ridiculous to have an electric knife and not an electric mixer.

i have to say i was a little misled by your title... although i am open to the possibility that anything, including human and tortoise, would go well with strawberries and cream.

That looks really good. Now here is where things get silly there is one thing that might make that better in stead of using glass, use Bacon Cups as per who ever wrote that blog, HA.

If you're cool with cheating, these are the best things in the world: :::link:::

Dump in a pint of heavy cream, a little sugar and vanilla, and a bottle of nitrous. Boom: fresh whipped cream, in your coffee, every dang morning. It also keeps the cream fresh longer.

Possessed by the devil
Category: hair
I cut my beard and then tried to take a pic of my new facial hair.
Each pic came out crappy because of low light. The iPhone is pretty
terrible with low light conditions. This one was especially scary
because it only blurred my eyes.

Organic grass fed beef sirloin
Category: food
How is the coop going to compete with this? Wegmans now has organic grass fed beef at such a great price, and it looks really good too.

These two cost $7.60. Considering that each one is enough beef for a
whole meal, that is a pretty good deal.

It's also super tender.

Interesting question. I *never* buy protein at the Co-op.

Applework smoked bacon chocolate
Category: food
They have the Vosges bacon chocolate at wegman's now. I can't begin
to tell you what a crazy adventure I took while in Vegas to get some
for (e:mike)'s birthday.

The shedding tool?
Category: pets
We just saw this by the cash register at pet supplies plus on
Deleware. Each person that walks by does a double take. What can it
possibly do for $50. Does it come with "happy ending" LOL. Somehow I
think I might have written about this before.

tinypliny - 01/11/09 09:58
What *does* it do??
theecarey - 01/10/09 22:01
"furminator" ?? LOL
