Today's Music:
Well, it would have been Avenue Q Soundtrack if I had bothered to push play on the CD player
Today's Bonus Feature:
Vanilla Honey Nut Candy (No Refined Sugar)
2 cups whole roasted salted almonds
1/2 cup shelled roasted salted pistachios
1 1/2 cups roasted salted pecans (I roasted raw ones in my oven, single layer on cookie sheet at 250 for 25 minutes)
1/4 cup honey
2 tblsp light agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
1/2 tsp butterscotch flavoring
ground sea salt (DO NOT USE TABLE SALT!)
Preheat oven to 250. Mix all but sea salt together. Sprinkle with sea salt, mix again. Nuts should be coated in syrup, but not dripping with it. Spread mixture on greased foil on cookies sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until nuts start to look shiny, about 30 minutes. Remove, sprinkle with salt. Let cool for a few minutes, taste, and bake more if desired. Cool slightly, peel off cookie sheet, store....if there is any left over after you start eating it...
Gluten-free Corn Cakes
2 cups yellow corn meal
1 cup almond flour
2 beaten eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tblsp baking powder
ground sea salt
Real Maple Syrup (optional)
Mix all ingredients except Maple Syrup in a bowl until well blended. Heat thin layer of oil in skillet. Use your hands to pat batter into cakes and cook in oil. Remove and cool. Eat plain or with Maple Syrup (yum!) Note: There is no sugar or sweetener added to the batter. This is because, in deference to the Southerner living here, we do not make Yankee cornbread.

Note from the weekend:
1. Photo albums left in plain sight are fair game.
2. 80's clothes and hair are still funny 25 years later.
3. No one looks good in a hat with ear flaps.
4. 80 is the new 21.
5. If you label your party cup THIS IS NOT BEER, you are guaranteed that no one will touch it.
6. Yard work = sick. Sick = meds. Meds = high. Therefore, yard work gets you high.
7. Rain and Nascar do not mix.
8. If you are a mediocre driver in any sort of racing event, pray for rain.
9. Hot chocolate heals all woes.
10. American Dad is not as funny as Family Guy. Or The Simpsons.
11. Those cloud that look like they are way south of you will flood your room in no time flat.
12. Mothers who volunteer to make 50 sewn stuffed kangaroos for their church's Vacation Bible School deserve a medal. Or a sanity check.

Since I've been mentioning them, here are the weekend's recipes.
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Need:
1 bell pepper per person
1 lb ground turkey breast (for four servings)
2-3 heaping spoonfuls of sun-dried tomotoes in oil
1/4 cup crumbled bacon
shredded cheese
olive oil
adobo seasoning
Heat oven to 425. Cut bell peppers in half. Place on foil on cookie sheet and drizzle with oil. Put in oven. Brown turkey, add bacon and sundried tomatoes, cook until tomatoes and bacon are heated through. Remove bell peppers from oven and spoon meat mixture into them, surround with any remaining meat. Cover with cheese. Return to oven until cheese is melted, or put in broiler if you want cheese browned.
Spinach Dip
1 block cream cheese (best with the real thing, rather than the fat-free stuff)
8oz sour cream (again, best with the real thing)
8oz (half of a 16oz bag) of frozen spinach, thawed
1 tsp abobo seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4-1/2 cup shredded italian cheese blend.
salt
Soften cream cheese (leave out on counter for about an hour). Put cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl, blend with hand blender until smooth. Add spinach and blend until smooth. Add seasonings (more or less to taste) and blend until well blended. Add cheese and blend. Serve cold.
Tropical Fruit Salad
1 can pineapple tidbits in juice
1 can manarin oranges IN JUICE (not light syrup)
1 can tart charries IN WATER (not in syrup)
Dressing:
2 cups plain unsweetened yogurt
1/4 cup honey
2 tblsp light agave nectar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla flavoring
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
Drain pineapple and oranges, reserve juice. Remove juice, add cherries and drain into separate bowl. Mix dressing ingredients until well blended, adjusting sweeteners and flavorings to taste. Add to drained fruit. Serve cold.
Tip: reserved juice makes a great chicken marinade---put it in a ziploc bag, add some garlic, salt, and olive oil, and put chicken pieces in it until ready to cook.
Cream Cheese Dip (great for eating on its own or dipping fruit in), also makes great cookie filling
1 block cream cheese
1/4 cup honey
2 tblsp light agave nectar
1 tblsp maple syrup
1 1/2 vanilla flavoring
3/4 tsp almond flavoring
Blend ingredients in bowl. Serve. To make banana flavored dip, cut up a well-ripened banana into it. Or spread on, well, anything!
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Need:
1 bell pepper per person
1 lb ground turkey breast (for four servings)
2-3 heaping spoonfuls of sun-dried tomotoes in oil

About that wildlife...
Ok, so last night Jaspher's gay agenda read as such:
1. Mow thelawn jungle
2. Go to sleep
#1 started out fine. I got home and he was moving the lawn. I believe he was on his second lap, as the recent rains had turned the back yard into a thigh high mess that the dogs were getting lost in. Lap 1, no issues. Midway through Lap 2, the mower stops, and he hollers for me that there is something alive in the yard. I meet him on the back deck, and he says, "I need a stick to poke it with." This is a direct quote, mind you. And I concurred. We picked up a piece of leftover trim from the kitchen cabinets and crept up to the area he had already mowed over..twice. Sure enough, the ground was undulating under a pile of grass, surrounded by gray fluff. We gingerly moved the grass aside (only after a few rounds of "What the h--- is THAT?"), and there were five lively squirming THINGS...all we could see were noses and ears. Now, it was dusk mind you, and the THINGS were dark, and two has white blazes on their foreheads. We covered them back up and went inside. Now me, having smelled skunk last week, used to Google to look up baby wildlife...and these looked just like baby skunks. And once again the Internets helped me figure out who to call, awrc.org.
Fast forward to this morning. 7:56A, the Wildlife Rescue woman calls me back. I throw on some clothes, go out in the yard with The Stick, and check on the still wriggling, now larger and definitely brown babies. They had their first photo shoot, and the pics went to Wildlife Lady, who confirmed that they were bunnies and not skunks (THANK GOODNESS). Thanks to a jury-rigger shelter, they did not drown in today's downpour, and were lively and trying to figure out what the heck was going on when I checked on them tonight. I'll take more pictures tomorrow.
Now, you know you live in the country when an unmowed backyard does not mean just your run-of-the-mill mice and spiders and snakes. It also means that the local wildlife thinks you are running a B&B, and when you least expect it, the lawn starts moving and out pop bunnies.

extra post, because this is my blog and I'm allowed
Re: Nights 5/1 and 5/2, aka Juxtaposition
Friday night: Went to a free showing of the Tromarific film "Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town", yet another fine offering from our friends at Troma Pictures (rated R). It featured women on bikes, radioactive battery-operated zombies, a dwarf, blind orphans, a nurse, a hearse, a bullwhip, two bar brawls, one chick fight, and a bunch of zombies who just wanted to go "hooooooooooooommmme" who, upon getting there, went back to their old habits (smoking their pipes, watching TV) when they were eating people. Oh, and the cast included Billy Bob Thornton and Hal Sparks. And once again, the town was saved because someone realized that you have to...wait for it...AIM FOR THE HEAD. Zombie fighting weapons included: baseball bat, acetylene torch, boom box on a strap, pistols, revolvers, and a staple gun. Screening was at local arts collective, in a theatre furnished with castoff chairs and sofas and random strips of fabric pretending to be curtains.
Saturday night: Went to the play "Happy Days" on passes from work. This frothy, cheesy musical was indeed based on the TV show. Rated G. Performance was in our local concert hall, with padded numbered seats, ushers, programs, and people in ties.It was surprisingly good, with singers who could actually sing and dance. And yes, The Fonz was there, complete with a comb, his "office", and the ubiqutous "Aaaaayyyy". And yes, they referenced how he just hadn't seemed as cool since he jumped the shark. And yes, there was the obligatory cheezy dream sequence in which The Fonz was visited by Elvis, James Dean, and a gospel choir made up of cast members in ivory choir robes and aviator sunglasses. Everything came out fine in the end, except perhaps Chachi, who had to spend several minutes on stage in a Leopard print jacket and hat with ears.
