| Apparently someone in Lycos and Google (or someones?) has been searching for information about Bob Ross, and came across my website. I can only imagine that it's because of this entry, in which I mention him. An intrepid reader (perhaps the same person that searched for the information?) sent me an e-mail message informing me that he died of some type of cancer on July 4, 1995. I had no idea. The power of the Internet, folks. Stand back and bask. Someone also found me through searching for "the story of budda", which is probably because of this entry. And they found me through searching for "bobofett", probably because of my mentions of Dana's website. It must be that, because I don't remember ever talking about the Star Wars character. And finally, a search on "Laura pictures me bath first". Grammatically obscure much? It's kind of fun trying to figure out why ~Snerkology~ appears in some search results. A little puzzle, a little mystery. I'm still at a loss as to why it came up for "pepe le pew sexual", though. Unless it was for this entry. And I wasn't talking about sex, people. I wasn't. ******************** I made this total white-trash dish last week, and people, I loved it. It's full of thick, noodley, gloopy goodness. It's the Hamburger Helper of the Artery Clogging Gods. It's comfort food at its best. Comfort Noodle Goop4 1/2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles1 1/2 lbs. hamburger 1/2 cup onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp. Worcestershire 8 oz cream cheese, cubed 1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 1 can corn, drained 1 cup milk 1 tsp beef bouillon granules salt and pepper Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to instructions. Meanwhile, brown hamburger, onion, and garlic. Drain. Add worcestershire, cream cheese, undiluted cream of mushroom soup, corn, milk, and bouillon granules. Stir until heated through and cream cheese is thoroughly melted. Salt and pepper to taste. Add hamburger mixture to cooked, drained noodles. Mix thoroughly. Consume. Cheap, easy, filling. Probably zero nutritional value, but when you're cold and hungry, there's nothing like gooey noodley dishes to cure what ail's ya. Next time I'm going to get frisky with it and add a can of diced green chilis. ******************** What else is going on out there:Viv's relationship with her husband cracks me up. Hot water drinkers unite!We all wish we could be as honest with our co-workers as Dawn is. You *go*, girl! We'd all like to think that everyone wants everyone else to be happy. Terri is blessed with readers who wish she was less so. What's up with that??? Sarah is up-front about her depression. She gives us all something to think about, and then she cracks us up. So typical of Sarah. I succumbed and joined up with The Squishy Forum. I'm doomed. Or rather, my productivity is. John Scalzi's back to updating on a semi-regular basis. He's moving. His new home is making me three kinds of jealous. Nia's baby brother is a daddy! Awww... Anna is still showing her step-daughter a rockin' good time. ******************** Warm Fuzzy MomentCalvin and I were sitting on the couch watching football yesterday afternoon. We were giggly and teasing each other, conversing and enjoying each other's company. All of a sudden he stops, looks at me for a long moment, leans over, and kisses me."What was that for?" I asked. "I was just watching you, and watching your mouth move as you were talking, and all of a sudden I just had this overpowering urge to kiss you," he replied. I swear, the man makes my heart pound. Still. Y'all can stop gagging now. ******************** Boyfriend-to-English TranslatorQuote: "Were we planning on going to the store tonight for any reason?"Translation: "Laura, go to the store and buy some more beer. I just had the last one." Quote: "We need to start thinking about what we're doing for dinner." Translation: "Laura, stop what you're doing and go make dinner before I get really hungry, and grumpy as a result." Quote: "There's nothing good on TV." Translation: "Laura, go to the video store and pick up a new release DVD. And none of that girly chick-flick crap either. I want guns. I want female nudity. I want a negligible plot." Quote: "Find out what time the girls need to be picked up." Translation: "Find out what time you'll be going to pick the girls up." Quote: "What time will you be home?" Translation: "Hurry your butt home so you can start dinner even though I've been home for an hour already, and oh, on the way home, stop by the store and pick up some beer, even though I passed twenty convenience stores on the way home myself, since I'm holding the last one in my hand." ~grin~ |

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it...
Still on the comfort food kick - what are your favorite comfort foods? I have three million of them, but I'm always looking for something new and comfy to try on. Replies with recipes will be posted! Be forewarned, in case it's one of those sacred family recipes.
Results From Yesterday's Mission Jo of Regular Jo had the following tale of Christmas Tree woe: "Today, after a month of becoming increasingly brave about trying, the cats finally managed to overturn the Christmas tree. Joy and jubilation. Their previous attempts have included getting a running start and then gliding along the floor smack into the foot of the tree. They didn't manage it that time though, it just shook ominously. This time they chased each other into the tree itself, and voila! Bits of glass, glitter and ornaments everywhere. They knew they had done something seriously wrong (because I've scolded them about playing with ornaments repeatedly) and have encountered my wrath before, so they fled. I can only laugh about it now, but I was angry enough for a while there to spank their fat little bottoms. Just shows us we _should_ have secured the tree to the wall with fishing line like we did when the cats were young. Harrumph." My friend AB sent me this feedback from December 21st's entry: "Do you want to know my theme songs? How about the whole CD from Flashdance? What a Feeling, She's a Manic, or oh no brain fart, the one from Donna Summer.. ? (editor's note: I think she means "Romeo") Smooth is the best though, it gets you into that dancing mood." I grabbed the design idea for the box thingy from Anna.
