toby young hit by a car

see?  this isn't some collective wish-fulfillment, it's actually TRUE; i feel bad for him (for once).

according to his twitter, toby was riding his bike when a car came around a corner and knocked him to the ground.  he got a pretty good gash on his head, but was not so badly hurt that he had to stay in the hospital or anything.  i am posting one pic here, but will link the others below...  be warned:  they aren't pretty ~ both are close-ups of the stitches on his head.

what a way to come back to the world of blogging, right?  LOL.  ❤

chicken in a can (seriously)

[pictures from ihatemymessageboard.com]

yes, that is a REAL product...  jeez, my posts today are making me feel like it's april fool's all over again, LOL.

chicken in a can is the latest food meme* to hit the twitterverse and it is a DOOZY, no?  yech.  apparently this product is available on amazon, though why one would want to buy it, i have no idea.

the original story and pictures are on this page of ihatemymessageboard.com ... she bought the chicken in a can out of curiosity, and according to her story, it not only looks like shit, but tastes like it, too!  ^_^  not a bad deal for $40 + shipping & handling.  *[o_O]*

xoxox.

*meme:  pronounced "meem" ~ urbandictionary has a definition if you're interested.

i have gotten a few comments lately asking, basically, "wtf?!?"

nothing has happened to me or anything, but i have just been feeling uber meh lately.  add to that the resources required for a food blog, and well...  i will be back soon, but i just don't know when.  i am hoping sooner rather than later.   

thanks for caring, my bloggies!  ^_^  see you all soon!

OMG TRUFFLES!

WOWZA!!!  the harry & david pick-me-up i have been waiting for just arrived, courtesy of my blog buddy, tugboat...

i briefly considered being "good" and ordering the sugar-free chocolates, but quickly nixed that plan to order the sale-priced truffles:  2 1-pound boxes of assorted truffles for about the cost of one box.  i am giving one box to B. b/c it's just too much temptation, but the other box is all mine mwah ha haha!

i especially needed this today not only b/c of bill/money worries (what's new) but also b/c i was rudely awakened by some KILLER stomach cramps at around 5.30am.  the short story:  too many radishes are a bad, bad thing.  look at them, sitting there all innocent:  pure evil in a pretty pink skin!

i am famous ~ in my own lil world, anyway ~ for my stomach-o-iron...  i can usually handle a lot of weird food and/or food bacteria w/ little-to-no problem, but these cramps were so bad that i couldn't breathe; my whole torso was stiff w/ the cramping and i seriously almost passed out.  it was bad and it lasted for about an hour.  i also got a not-so-nice irl depiction of the phrase "pale & green w/ nausea"...  definitely one of those situations where i was praying to vomit and get it over with, but my body was having none of that shit.

anywho, i was pretty tired and worn out from that ordeal, only to have money shiz come knock me in the face right after the majority of the cramping eased...  and all this before 7am!!!  needless to say, it was a hard morning, LOL.  luckily, i have AMAZING friends and the day picked up considerably, only to be topped off w/ a delivery of delish chocolate from the ups man.  and to answer the question i am sure you're all thinking:  yes, i have tried one of each flavor, but then put them away hoping the whole "out of sight, out of mind" thing will kick in.  :D

thanks again, tugboat:  you're a doll!  xoxox @ you!!!
