THE 9LB. HAM PROJECT 2K7 - UPDATE D.1
Big update here. It's been "half a ham" since we last spoke. This is an actual colloquialism [see sayings of old Briton]. And sadly I report that there is just one serving in the freezer left of "Kind of Like Ham Tetrazzini (pt. B) [M30]". She were a good ham. Such hope and determination in her young blazing eyes. But whoa it's not yet time to get sentimental. Not yet, ye starter farter. Here is thou ham dishes I've eaten sincey.

M30 >> (5/10/2007) Kind of Like Ham Tetrazzini (pt. B).

THE 5 PIE PROJECT 2K7 - UPDATE B.1
PIE #2 (5/22/2007) >> Orange Cherry White Chocolate Inverted Tart. A disasterous attempt at a tart that turned into a magnificent cobbler. Cherries, oranges, tapioca, and white chocolate baked in a casserole dish after everything started spilling out of the attempted tart.

This Pie-Non-Pie-Tart-Turned-Cobbler was a kitchen fiasco. Flour everywhere. Fire alarms. Slipping feet. But the heat was well worth it. It tastes great. I can't wait to try it with a little scoop of ice cream.

THE UN-OFFICIAL WENDY'S RE-PICKLING PICKLE PROJECT 2K7 - UPDATE B.1
Small batch #3 {SB3} (5/22/2007) is beet juice, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, cinnamon.

Nothing to say about the pickles --- But hey, I think there may be something in the post title. Yeah. I think that thing needs to come real.

9:59 PM >> Brune '08 and a Dead Bird

The good stuff first and then the more negative stuff.

In the continuing effort to get Mike Brune into the White House I got a Sharpie and marked up the American flag plate on the front of my truck. Hopefully this will inspire others to do the same. And hopefully our Mike Brune will have a chance at becoming this country's next president regardless of the age rule which is so antiquated anyway, I mean come on.

12:39 AM >> Cinco de Mayo



This Cinco de Mayo I won a free loaf of bread from Jimmy John's. Pictured you can see the free loaf of bread. And also, hidden is campaign bumper sticker for M. Brune's 2008 presidential attempt. To learn more about the man who'll be you're next prez please check the following links: #1 (his exploits) and #2 (his campaign speech).
