Here is another example of TGH’s childhood art. See how the plant leans over to the side like that? That’s because it is trying to escape its hideous surroundings.

Mimic Mutts Revisited

Posted on May 30, 2007 - Filed Under Food, Just for Fun, Low Fat, Puppets/Twins, Vegan, Vegetarian | 3 Comments

Finally! I have made great strides in the meatless hot dog quest. I found one ingredient that makes a big difference in the flavor of the wheat gluten. They still don’t taste 100% like a hot dog, but

they are edible
they look good in a hotdog roll and
they go well with mustard, dill […]

Maybe Not the Thunderbirds

Posted on May 29, 2007 - Filed Under Just for Fun, Puppets/Twins | 1 Comment

Okay, maybe Frances Rivera doesn’t look exactly like one of the puppets from the Thunderbirds as I indicated in an earlier post. I may have had it wrong. It could be she looks like one of the puppets from Team America. I think she looks like the blonde one, but obviously, with […]

I’m NOT Nuts

Posted on May 29, 2007 - Filed Under Tangents | 1 Comment

According to an article in the June 2007 Reader’s Digest, my weird habit of running a satin ribbon under my fingernail does not indicate that I’m certifiable. Actually the person didn’t say they rubbed the satin under their fingernail like I do, just that they rubbed satin. But that is close enough in […]

Toast and Jam

Posted on May 28, 2007 - Filed Under Cat | 2 Comments

Those’re my cats’ names. Figures they’d be named after food, right? Toast is the male ginger-orange cat we took in to keep our female, Jam, company. Turns out Jam didn’t really like Toast very much. Five years later, they still don’t get along. Both are fixed. Jam was […]

Well, that is what I am calling these “boneless ribs” I made out of wheat gluten. They were quick and easy to make - just mix, shape and bake the wheat gluten and add chopped red onion, green pepper, cherry tomatoes and barbecue sauce to the last 15 minutes of baking. I think […]

Not Just Food

Posted on May 24, 2007 - Filed Under Flowers/Gardening | 1 Comment

I noticed my blog is getting a little bogged down with food so here is a little break. It’s a funky tree and whenever we drive by it, I like to make TGH (Techno-Geek Hubby) slow down so I can get a good look at it. You can see in the photo that […]

Fiddlesticks!

I finally got some wheat gluten at the grocery store so now I just have to find time to try my mimic mutts again. I have some new ideas in mind for them and I’ll post about them as soon as I get a chance to try them out.
For dinner last night I wanted […]

Is It Just Me

Posted on May 22, 2007 - Filed Under Puppets/Twins | 1 Comment

Is it just me or does Frances Rivera look like a puppet from The Thunderbirds? It may just be her mannerisms, but every time I see her on Channel 7 news, I can’t help looking for the strings.
