Mogget Monday: A Little Piece of My Heart

Step 1: Rub face all over heart.

Step 2: Carry heart in mouth. Make strange quack-mrrff sounds.

Step 3: Tear ass around apartment with heart in teeth. Continue quack-mrrffing.

Step 4: Flop over all exhausted.

Step 5: Repeat, preferably during wee hours of the morning.

Mogget Mon...err...Tuesday

Keeping an eye on the storm.

Tornado sirens and several bouts of hail in one day made Mogget ever vigilant.

Math + Bacon = Miracles

Oh man, I love a good infographic. I also love bacon. The people at Wired get me.

The article Math Proves Bacon is a Miracle Food is an interesting data snapshot of the nearly 50,000 recipes on the Food Network website. Although I long ago lost interest in most things Food Network related (how many times can one watch two chefs in a head-to-head battle with only 20 minutes to make a lavish dinner for forty guests out of okra while on an underwater carousel...), this is an amusing glimpse at current recipe trends.

I followed the recommendation to read the review section for Rachael Ray' Late-Night Bacon Recipe. I generally avoid reading the comments on widely followed blogs and websites, since it usually results in elevated blood pressure, eye twitching, and my faith in humanity destroyed. This. Is. Hilarious. One of my favorites:

I had a recipe for Late Night Bacon that included "Footloose", but it took 107 minutes. This is much quicker and it, too, includes paper towels for easy cleanup. -GravyJefferson

What are your thoughts? Does bacon make nearly everything better, even when cooked in a microwave?

Lately

I realize it has been a bit cat-tastic on the blog lately. I promise I do more than follow Mogget around all day and take her picture. In addition to a number of work obligations, it's been a bumpin' few weeks at chez refeathered!

 

 

1. Checking out a new release by Tigernite at the Exclusive Company.

2 & 3. After a few busy days at the WMEA State Conference I ran a marathon...wearing a felt triceratops mask. It was the Haunted Hustle after all! And, yes, 1234 was my actual race bib number.

4. Post marathon cookie baking. 

5 & 6. Scenes from Mondo Lucha.  Guys, this was the best combination of ludicrous and fabulous. It had everything a girl could want. A saucy goat, glitter, rock 'n' roll, and a lucha libre style wrestling team that consisted of a robot and a one legged man called Uno. Seriously.

7. My sister and cohorts rocked it at Mondo Lucha!
8. A long over due trip to Beauty.
9. Taming mutant plants. More on that later.

What have you been up to lately?

Psst...I've got a secret to tell you.
