The Midnight Snack Gone Awry

    Hey, everyone. As a serious gamer, I maintain a strict training regimen, waiting for the Olympic Games to adopt contests for Shadowgun. Therefore, I only eat low calorie stuff. Tonight I had a midnight snack that you might find interesting. I wanted some champagne. I filled a large glass with the bubbly. Then I saw fresh strawberries. I cut several of them up and piled a bunch of whipped cream on them. So far, so good.
    As everyone knows, a snack plate must have widely divergent flavors to be effective, so I got a boiled egg and put mustard on it. Then I reasoned that some cheddar cheese would go well with the egg. Of course, saltine crackers are a must with the egg and cheese. I noticed some of those miniature candies in the basket. Hmmmmm... I decided to have a Mounds (love coconut with champagne) and a Reeses peanut butter cup. Lest I be accused of being smart, I added a Hershey's with toffee and almonds.
     As I was walking to my recliner, I stopped by the pantry and noticed some new chips called Lay's BLT flavored chips. They actually have this dust on them which simulates a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. When I poured a modest quantity of them on my plate, I decided that they deserved some french onion dip.
    Finally, I was ready for my snack. I started to wake my wife and show her my work of art, but reason prevailed and I began to eat. It was sooooo good. Then I thought, "I must share this secret recipe with my friends on the blog, as they may be hungry for something exotic".
     When you combine all this with the Philly Steak sandwich and hot wings I had for lunch, well, my gas should be exquisite tomorrow. Good night all, from the land of the midnight sun snack.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
