First off, I’d like to note how cool Wynonna Judd is for staying fat for her fat pill commercials. It saves us all from having to wonder if alli® actually works. Therefore this installment of Bacon of the Month goes out to that wonderful, Country singin’, crybaby cow.

Sluuuuuuurp!
Since I haven’t posted a thing since before Christmas it would seem my brain is spent on ideas. Luckily there are readers and chums and yoga teachers out there who’ve been kind enough to think for me and come up with topics.  Today’s first topic is Noodles. It’s 11 degrees outside …

To be superfly you can’t be a private dick, you have to be a pimp and a hustler and a drug dealer. Your threads gotta have flash, dig?

December isn’t too far off now and by the advent of that bitter, gray month I’ll be telling everyone that the best, all-around condiment for food is oatmeal.

TIBETAN BBQ – espionage –
 
So I guess they like spicy BBQ up there in political detention.  Oddly enough, this has a lot in common with American ketchup-based barbecue sauces, particularly in the way it’s ketchup-based.  The original bottle of sauce from which I deciphered the recipe says nothing about …
