Reducing consumption

Ramen noodles with indented space to hold an egg. Like a nest. Very good product semantics. Too bad the noodles taste icky.

10 lbs of garbage and 82 lbs of back seat removed for better fuel economy. Damn $5 gas. The non-aerodynamic box now gets 26 mpg. Not bad for a rolling shipping container.

My grocery purchasing decisions are often influenced by being matchy matchy with my kitchen. It's now become subconscious that I don't realize I'm buying orange things.

Grilled calamari suffered from extreme shrinkage. Sigh. What seemed like multiple portions, turned into one.

But at least I have summer corn. Corn doesn't shrink much on the grill.

And summer peaches. These peaches are only "meh." Grilling it makes it somewhat tastier. But what I wouldn't give for a juicy sun ripened yellow peach right about now.

Shortcuts

The roads are going crazy tonight. Traffic GPS re-routes Davy past the Mitsuwa Marketplace. We must keep up to date with the latest and greatest instant noodle technology from Japan.

From the makers of Cup-O-Noodle, UFO BIG instant noodles have strainers built into the dual layered lids. Quite impressive construction. Should these even be considered instant noodles if they require more than 6 steps to make?

Looks absolutely nothing like the picture on the lid. The 6 different steps just raise your expectations to an unrealistic level- only to be disappointed in the end. 33 cent Cup-O-Noodles are classic for a reason.

Hair brained

The furminator brushed out enough undercoat from Preston to make one mini-Preston. I will ask Jenne about turning Preston fur into yarn. Maybe a nice warm beanie will result.



I never bothered to check what these kind of instant noodles these were. I just saw the bald asian guy with glasses and felt an instant affinity.

Back to my roots

In the Bay Area for a short little schmidge. This combination microwave/mini-fridge looks like a movie space robot from the 50's. I knew I should have packed my silver lamé overalls. Darn it!

Intimidated by the microwave robot, I decide to forage for food in the neighborhood. GPS brought me to sesame tofu salad and plum tea.

And Szechwan beef noodle soup with thick cut noodles.

Palty hair dye. Because blonde is my natural hair color.

House boy

Goodbye to the insanely large house in Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln's house would fit inside the master bathroom with room to spare for an alligator moat. 5000 square feet is pretty much insane for any family with less than 30 people. Such a short trip. We never did get to visit those bourbon fudge packing monks.

It's impossible to resist things like "Boy Bawang" and "Ppushu Ppushu" at the store.
