Birds, Fish, Hamburgers and Beer

BIRDS, FISH, HAMBURGERS AND BEER.....all a part of this, the first post in 10 days!!

Hope you all had a nice weekend !!

BIRDS:

Birds, I like em alright, thing is lately I have had a bit of trouble getting a good night's sleep. It seems like I always wake up around 2:30 am and look at my bedside clock. I lay back down and drift off to sleep again and then the cute little birdies that live right outside my window seem to always start their crazy tweetfest at about 4:30 am. By 5 am I have become frustrated because the damn things just don't stop !! So the other day I started my Psychological Terror Campaign.

Actually what I did was make up some hard boiled eggs the night before, and when the little buggers started squawking outside my window, I went outside and just started cracking open the eggs and eating them in plain sight, oh and I looked right at those crazy noise polluters with an evil sneer....

I'm telling you it worked !! I slept till 8:30 this morning and never heard on chirp !!

Best thing about this little saga is that no one in the neighborhood saw me in the yard at 5 am eating hard boiled eggs and smiling demonically at sparrows...If they had, I would probably be in a padded room at a nearby mental institution, but it was worth the risk. I'll bet that padded room is nice and quiet !!

Pet Fish

The New Tank

My sister bought a new fish tank and I put that little video together so everyone could enjoy it...

I personally would never go get a fish tank, all the water tests and the feedings...I just couldn't be bothered...

If I ever do get the hankering for my own tank...I'll just watch the video over and over till I get the thought of having my own out of my system...

HAMBURGERS

I love hamburgers and this weekend I invited a bunch of friends and family for a cookout and cooked sausages, chicken, and yes I shot a glance at any birds that may have been nearby as I threw the chicken on the grill, hot dogs and HAMBURGERS.

My newest creation, which was inspired by an idea from my nephew, The Stuffed Burger:

Two thin patties are made, then you place sauteed onion, mushroom and cheese on one patty, then cover it with another patty pressing the edges together to form the new and improved Stuffed Burger!!

Brilliant ! A Burger with a surprise in the middle...I'm going to try other additives in the future, pickles, tomato, all sorts of things spring to mind when I think of the possibilities...

BEER:

We had a lot of beer here and you know what???


Beer goes great with burgers!!

Diets, We are all on one -Try The Tom Cat Diet

The TomCat Diet says Strawberry Pie is OK

It's the truth..we all are on one diet or another. The South Beach Diet or The See - Food Diet..you know - see it, eat it - Maybe you are on a starvation diet, by choice rather than by circumstance I hope, or my favorite...I developed it a couple years ago, the Budweiser Diet.

di·et : the foods eaten, as by a particular person or group

We may be on a Multicultural diet, Soul Food on Sunday, Italian on Monday, Chinese on Tuesday...etc, etc..

Or we may be on a diet fit for Cows.....Vegetarian.

Fried Chicken Cutlets are OK Too!!

Whatever it is that we eat, is our Diet. I no longer am on the "Budweiser Diet", it was fun while it lasted, it did cause me to shed some weight. I still think if I Published the Book men all over would be ripping it off the shelves... Seriously if someone told a guy to go on a diet and he went to the bookstore and saw..."Losing Weight with Fresh Vegetables" or "THE BEER DIET" , which one would he pick???

Cheers!!

So why am I writing about diets...well, there are the 10 -15 pounds I'd like to say goodbye to for one. But when I was on the Treadmill every day and eating the "Right" foods it didn't seem to matter. Nothing changed...It reminds me of a friend of mine who has a cat that is sorta FAT. She exercises her cat making it run all over chasing a little pen light and feeds it the Lo Cal food but the cat doesn't change, it's still fat...

I feel like I'm kinda like a Tom Cat, while I don't really feel FAT, I want to shed a few pounds..So I am trying something new..The talking heads on television said that drinking red wine can be healthier than exercise...This is good news!!

Also, I heard that people often try to change too much in their diets only to revert back to there old eating habits...So the key is to just change one or two things in your diet...then it's easier to honor your commitment to the changes you make..

Awesome!! So here is my new Diet:

The Tom Cat Diet:

Less Exercise, more Red Wine and I am gonna cut cream out of my coffee!!

I'll let you know how it all works out!!

I'm calling it the Tom Cat Diet, unless someone can think of a better name!
