Happy Birthday to my mom, the very best and awesome mom there ever was! Celebrate good, Mommers! \lm/
On my way to the farm today, I was listening to NPR and caught a story about how starting this fall, we will no longer be able to buy shows produced by NBC on iTunes (namely, Heroes, Battleship Galaxy and The Office!).
The story continued to explain that this is because NBC wanted to charge $4.99 an episode!!!
And then Steve Jobs said, “Chyeah, right. And monkeys might fly out of my butt!”
And then Jeff Zucker said, ”All I have to say about that is, asphinctersayswhat.”
And then Steve Jobs said, “What?”
And then Jeff Zucker said, “Exactly.”
I don’t know about you, but as much as I’d love to say that’s no big deal, it seems so steep! Apparently NBC is going to work on getting some other way to get their shows online, but I have no idea of the specifics on that. While in school, that whole buy it on iTunes thing was just so damn convenient! Oh, well.
So, it looks like I’m going to be making the possibly expensive jump to Tivo much sooner than expected, because, let’s be real, if I don’t blow kisses at Jim Halpert on my TV screen at least once a week, the terrorists win.
She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, Kid.
Ever since Food Network aired this cheeseburger making competition the other night, all I’ve wanted to do was make a fancy cheeseburger of my own. While everyone else there had super expensive ingredients and loads of time and experience, I thought I’d be able to make something happen in my little ol’ kitchen.
So, I tried. And it looks messy. And it was. But it was so good!
The meat is ground turkey with corn and sliced garlic mashed up in it. It gave the meat more of a texture instead of just… meat. Which don’t get me wrong, is totally delicious, but can be TOTALLY boring. The bottom is a veggie portion with sauteed spinach, garlic and onions. And for our topper, we grilled up a banana pepper and put it underneath a thin slice of Muenster cheese (That’s why the cheese is popping up like that.). I would have rather used something like mozzarella, but Muenster is what I had and it melted really well. Not too runny, not too stringy. Salt and pepper to taste and slide that puppy on top of a toasted wheat but with a lil bit of ranch dressing. “Yum-E!” (That’s going to be my rip on Rachael Ray catch phrase. Ya likes?!)
Til next time, eat your veggies, kiddies.
