Not 'cause of you, per se (believe me, I've drank some pretty "****y" beer over the years ), but, I thought it could be too easily interpreted in two completely different ways around here...

Yup.

Got our MBs the other day! And in true crazy cat person fashion, here's a pic of kitty being overwhelmed by the power of the MBs!!

Hahaaa...!
Awesome...!!!

Aluminum bottles

I actually forgot about those.
Although, I can't remember if I've ever bought any beer in those, before. Hmmm...?
Probably 'cause of all the beer I drink...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Hah! I just say "it's noon somewhere!" (or whatever socially appropriate time it is to start drinking)

Yea, 5p is for wussies.

 

[donaldtoo]

I've actually made guacamole with cottage cheese…I think I was on a healthy kick at the time. I got over that, though.

Snatched from the precipice of the abyss, you were.

 

[donaldtoo]

Ok gang, I'm gone like the breaking wind...
Y'all be cool, and sweet Disney dreams to all...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

I know we posted last week about the new practice of Amazon placing advertising on there boxes but I had not seen it yet, until today.

If they are all this good I'll be a big fan

Makes me want just the box.

Some trip updates.

Saturday we went for a long walk on the beach. We ended up a mile away.

We stopped along the way. Saw this:

It was a photo op spot. The guy let me take her picture and hold her, which was very cool. Her name is Aloha because that's what she says.

Then we went and got lunch at Cheesecake Factory, and went back and swam in that beautiful ocean water.

Yesterday we climbed Diamond Head and did some driving. My mom took all of the pictures, so those will come later. I need to use my laptop to get them off.

Another shot of yesterday's double rainbow.

They have the most perfect rainbows out here. This was on our way to dinner (P.F. Changs. Yes, we could pick more exciting options. Anyway...)

We're all rather tired from the past few days, so we are planning on hanging out here at the resort.

Cheesecake Factory makes me think of Penny.

 

[Gabe1]

Me too. I choose chips over chocolate.

I will usually go for salty over sweet. But can I just have both?

Speaking of beer in cans, here's another relevant kitty pic:

I know, right?? I saw a documentary about that and it made me absolutely sick to see them throwing them back in the water like that. I don't understand in this day and age how such a practice can be legal.

well, some allege "cultural" reasons.
but I call BS on that.
like Japan still does whaling,claims to be research. or the culling of dolphins.

 

[Cesar R M]

@Cesar R M -
Perhaps. After you take out everything that isn't: shrimp, lobster, or crab.

no love for octopus?

 

[Cesar R M]

Hmmm...how do you post a pic without using the Media option? I can't find another way.

you can also use imgur.com (most of my images are hosted there)


I still wonder why this site doesn't support PNG.

 

[Cesar R M]

I am sitting in the sun doing absolutely nothing. It's glorious.

so.. like a cat?

Who does that?
I've never experienced that before.

Ewe. Me either. Can't imagine dairy in the Guacamole.

 

[Gabe1]

Hah! I just say "it's noon somewhere!" (or whatever socially appropriate time it is to start drinking)

Tomorrow I'll take a picture of the palm tree sign outside my Summer Gazebo. It says it all...

Cultural, shmultural. I'm Chinese and I think it's barbaric, atrocious, and I'm ashamed of that aspect of my ancestry! Well, there's actually quite a bit that I'm not proud of...

You just have to find ways of making salad appealing. I have it for lunch several times a week at home. My mom makes chicken breast for dinner, and then she makes too much so that there's leftovers. Then, she chops it up and freezes it. It's great for adding to a salad to make it more filling. I've also used leftover ground beef from tacos. I have several variations of salad I make. I like caesar salad with chicken. I use a low fat caesar dressing, chicken, some croutons, and cheese. I like parmesean, which is very low calorie. This is great to take with you to work and such. You put the chicken, veggies, cheese, and dressing in separate containers in a lunch bag the night before. Then, you add an ice pack and go. Premixed salad makes this even easier. It's nice and salty, but you get the benefit of the veggies.

The other one I like is my Mexican salad. This one is higher in calories, but good. I use either ground beef or chicken, though beans or tofu would also work. Lettuce+salsa+a little sour cream+meat/beans+Mexican cheese blend. I've also substituted the salsa and sour cream with a chipotle dressing. One of these days, I want to make my own guac and try it that way.

And then for snacks, if I'm looking for something healthy, carrots and dip satisfy my salt craving. If I want something sweet, I reach for a piece of fruit. I want to try a baked apple with brown sugar. I read about it this morning. Supposed to be low calorie, but delicious.

I dont know how you do it, but I really hate the pre-prepared César salad dressings.
They taste horrible of fake cheese.

 

[Cesar R M]

Oh my. Now, I'm craving chips and salsa, guacamole, black bean dip, and queso.
I might as well just make nachos...!

@catmom I see you are Compliance Administrator. Curious to what type of business. My DD deals with compliance everyday at her University that she works for.

Nasty nasty radar. Tornadoes on ground in Northern Illinois. So far we are holding our own.

95 mph winds before at Illinois Iowa and Wisconsin intersection. Oy.

yikes!

Stay safe!
