Bagel buoy boy – Summertime swimmer art
Now that I’m really inspecting and admiring this, the cream cheese does look a little gross, eh? Ah well, it’s still awesome!
Also, the recipe suggests adding nutella to the cream cheese for a darker skin complexion. I’m not sure I would’ve considered doing that at all, but I love the idea. <3
….and there’s the realization yet again that the simplest things make me giddy. To be sitting at my computer, smiling at a screen while I type, at the thought of adding chocolate to make a cream cheese swimmer a more accurate color for some people? Uh, yeah, I might have issues. Oops.
I would like them in a house, with a mouse? – Cheeseball mouse
I might have a thing for cheeseballs.
And really, if I’m going to shape something made of cheese, doesn’t a mouse seem perfectly logical?
Right, because I make my food choices based on logic.
That’s kinda like saying that I didn’t feel bad when I popped his little nose off.
And sliced him open…
*cries…and then digs in with a cracker* Mmmm.
“Please never make that hot yellow nasty stuff again”
Not every recipe is a winner. In fact, a good chunk of recipes really aren’t that great at all.
Sometimes that’s because they’re simply boring or bland or not that special.
Other times, though? It’s because they’re nasty.
It all started with these innocent cans. I don’t even know why we had them or where we got them at this point. I don’t recall intentionally buying them because I’m not a huge fan of hominy. It had been years since I’d tried it, though, so maybe I had bought them on sale and wanted to compare kinds.
Or maybe some evil friend of the family passed them on to us because -they- didn’t like them. Whatever the origination, they sat in our pantry for quite a while before I finally found a recipe that I thought would both use them up -and- cover any taste or texture issues I had with them.
Lots and lots of onions and peppers for to give it flavor….
Plenty of bacon for good measure, because really, what can’t bacon cover and make better?
(I’ll give you a hint…this dish.)
Piled high with with cheese because well….bacon…cheese…. what could go wrong?
Blended until thoroughly cooked and almost disguised as the normal corn that we all love and enjoy.
Ultimately, no matter how it looked, it was not a favorite. In fact, on top of the poor texture and us all wishing we had stuck with only bacon and cheese, it was too hot for a couple of them. None of them could ever remember what it was called, but it went down in kitchen history as “that hot stuff you made that one time” or “that nasty thing you made that one time.”
As in, 2 years after the fact:
Me: Hey guys, what do you want for supper?
Them: Not that stuff you made that one time. ‘member? That hot yellow nasty stuff you made? I don’t want that.
/facepalm
