you say potato i say tater tots - food of my youth Wednesday, October 25, 2006 musical chimes
My guilty pleasure...Tater Tots
I was probably nine when I was first served tater tots courtesy of my elementary school. I tried it on a whim. These perfect little golden nuggets were the best pick me up. Though I must admit, some days it tasted like poo. At first I blamed the lunch ladies as it would obviously be their fault why my ultimate lunch item would taste like poo. The next time it came up on our menu, I decided to take just a handful hoping I had just gotten a bad batch of tots so that's why they tasted so bad. I saved it for last covering it with gobs of ketchup. Alas, no more poo taste. Maybe the lunch lady was scared of the evil eye I gave her last time. Nonetheless, they tasted great!
It's fantastic.
I hear that the tater tot hotdish is popular in the upper Midwest area. I found a few recipes that I should attempt this weekend. My Home-Ec skills have surpassed expectations.
elliott Monday, October 23, 2006 musical chimes
He past away three years and two days ago.
Sitting at my desk at work three years ago, I got a call from a friend just as I'm reading news of his death. We are both in shock and searched through various news/music sites to confirm. It's true. He's dead.
I talked about not getting a chance to see him perform and then I started to tear up. So did my friend. We reminisced about when we first heard his music. What we were doing and how it affected us. After 20 minutes, I hang up and continue to work.
It was a long day.

Million Dollar Bra Monday, October 16, 2006 musical chimes
I see no other purpose for this bra unless you are NOT going to wear a shirt when leaving your home. This Million Dollar Bra is modeled by Karolina Kurkova who, incidentally, was not wearing this bra when I briefly met her.
The $6.5 million Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra, weighing 800 carats, is "very sexy and very comfortable, and it doesn't dig in," coos model Karolina Kurkova, who says the design is significantly improved over the 2002 version, which she also modeled. "Back then, I had a person come in and mold my breasts into a bra made of metal and diamonds," she says. This year, more than 2,000 round diamonds are embroidered onto the undergarment, which has a 10-carat diamond brooch centerpiece.(USA Today)
Viva NES ! Friday, October 13, 2006 musical chimes
Today is NES day!
Well, it should be. The new Nintendo Wii is coming out soon but I gotta say I rather have my old Nintendo system in front of me. For the life of me I can't recall what I did with it. Anyway, I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic today.
I found two replacements to cure my NES cravings. vNES & EverydayGame has a wide variety of NES and Sega games. I've already played 20 games on the vNES site. I still suck at Ice Hockey.
What game console did you own as a child? What were your favorite games?
Up, Down, Left Right, Start, Select.... Admittedly, I'd much prefer the above NES Controller Panties to be available in black boycut. The Super Mario Bros boxer is cute. More underroos are available on this site.
Keep on Keeping On folks! Enjoy the weekend.
