Whacked Out Yankee Pig Lickers! I just read a story about how one of the new fair foods at the Minnesota State Fair will be dark chocolate covered bacon sprinkled with sea salt called Pig Lickers... Now I like bacon and I like chocolate but I don't think combining the two will result in something better than a Reece's Peanut Butter Cup. In fact, I don't even want to try it!! I'd have to be pregnant to even consider something that crazy and I'd have to be even crazier to be pregnant at my age!! And people think the batter fried twinkies and such they serve down here at the fairs are weird..... |

Mmmmm, that actually sounds good to me! Mexican people eat main dishes with mole (which had cocoa in it)...sounds gooooooood to me! My uncles introduced me to ice cream with jalepenos which is also quite good.

My uncles introduced me to ice cream with jalepenos which is also quite good. Funny you should mention cocoa... I saw an Iron Chef episode not too long ago and the mystery ingrediant was chocolate. They used cocoa as a rub for the some of the meat dishes. But no one did chocolate covered bacon!

Thistle? Is that some sort of thorny plant? And I haven't the slightest what pole greens are. Can I put ranch on them? I have eaten a lot of weird things and I will try just about anything with either bbq sauce or ranch on it but don't ruin the chocolate. That's almost sacred! LOL

I just couldn't get past the name "Yankee Pig Lickers"!! Getting my son off on a plane to your good ol' state in the morning and can't wait to hear him tell me about all the weird things down there that "y'all" eat that is different from what us weird Yankee's eat!! LOL You dang Rebels down there deep in the heart.... Do you think he's in for a culture shock or what. I'm sending him to a Christian Dry College Town!!! Either that means he'll drive farther to do all the things that college freshman try or hopefully he'll take what I have been trying to instill in him and make wise choices..... Well, all I can say is pray and pray hard!!  I can't believe the baby that I feel like I just gave birth to is 19 and off to college.Give me some of those choc covered bacon strips will ya! P.S. Been thinking of you as I hear about all the Starbucks that are going out of business. Are you wearing black in mourning or what? They serve Starbucks at the cafe in his dorm room. He's used to Dunkin' Donuts and their coffee isn't as strong. So we'll see if he suddenly likes Starbucks. Me, I only get it out of desperation as it's too strong for me. I, too, am a Dunkin' girl myself. (Oh, Greggy would love to hear me say that phrase, now wouldn't he?? ((hugs)) Ginny * Sin is sin.

I will pray that he learns the difference between Chicken Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak and Fried Chicken. And that all of it is good eatin' with some sweet tea! By the way, I don't even know where a Dunkin Donuts is... but I know where Snowflake, Shipley and of course, Krispy Kreme is... they don't serve frappes at any of those places unfortunately. I'll be praying for your son (and for you so you wont have too much separation anxiety). God bless you Ginny.

ROFLOL So sorry about the pack mule remark! ROFLOL Ewww chocolate covered hairy snout!! I didn't think I could get more grossed out. Ack!!! Now I would never ever eat tongue. I refuse to taste something that could be tasting me back!! Would you like the Hershey syrup to go with those pork rinds?
| |||
|
YUK! Who ruined the chocolate! BTW great title! My mum tried to get me to eat tongue when I was a kid, NO WAY!!!
| |||
|
Ewww... that would make the fries cold and cold potatoes (even in potato salad) give me horrible hiccups. And while I have never had vegemite, I think I will stick to butter on my toast... or jelly or peanut butter.

What's True North? I think anything north of Dallas is Canada!  BUT WE ARE the TRUE NORTH... O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, THE TRUE NORTH strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
| |||
|
Yeah but you like creamed corn!! LOL
| |||

Hmmm, not sure WHAT you insinuating there BUT WE ARE the TRUE NORTH... O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, THE TRUE NORTH strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Thanks for the lyrics... I always thought it was OOOOO Canada (mumble mumble mumble) Ohhhhh Canada (la la la hmmm humm hummm) OOOOO Canada (la di dah hmmm hum). Okay so I suck at geography even of my own country and I truly such at the national anthem of my neighbor to the north. I am just going to blame that on the lack of televised hockey here! LOL
| |||
|
I even know what a hat trick is!! I tried ice skating once but the ice cubes kept melting when I would put them on the sidewalk and try standing on them. It's a lot harder than you would think!!
| |||
|
Sourkrout and Jalapenos? Oh man, your tummy is a lot tougher than mine pregnant or not. The smell of bacon alone when I was pregnant with my son would send me praying to Ralph the Porcelain King. What's in that Norwegian desert PigLicken? Unfortunately, I live on the other side of the country so I will not get to experience the American Pig Lickers. (I'm crying real hard over that... NOT! LOL )
| |||
|
Mmmmm, that actually sounds good to me! Mexican people eat main dishes with mole (which had cocoa in it)...sounds gooooooood to me! My uncles introduced me to ice cream with jalepenos which is also quite good.
| |||
|
Mmmmmm...I LOVE mole! Yes it has chocolate in it but it doesnt taste like chocolate. A mexican chef gave me her family recipe. Not like the stuff you get in a jar. yummy!!
| |||
|
That sounds so good and perfect for a summer dessert!! I have got to try it!!!

Exactly. It just tastes wonderful because of the other flavors that it is blended with! Soooooo, Bacon (salty) would taste just wonderful with chocolate (sweet)...the palate is MADE for a mix such as this!

From your perspective, pregnancy may not sound like a bad deal and it's not for many people but for me, at my present age, no thank you. I have been pregnant four times already. I lost one soon after he was born, had two miscarriages and was blessed with one son who is now 17. For me, pregnancies are extremely high risk even in my younger years. I about died with the one I lost. In addition to my feet swelling up as wide as they are long, I spend the first three months throwing up every day and spend the later part confined to my bed. I get to see many specialists every week who poke and prod me. Amniocentisis is great fun! It ranks right up there with Chroni villi sampling. In both of these tests, you are required to fill up your bladder as big as you can and then you wait for hours on end for the doctor to show up while you feel like you are going to explode. Then they stick a long needle into your tummy. With one they draw amniotic fluid and with the other they take a sample of the fetus itself. Both of these procedures give me extreme cramps before causing me to pee all over the place. The mere smell of certain foods produces projectile vomiting. And I haven't even gotten to the joys of c-section yet. Oh and if you are over 35 your chances of having a down syndrome child dramatically increase. During the entire pregnancy with my son I had to try to make believe I wasn't pregnant because every time I went to the doctor I never knew if he would be okay or if I would come home pregnant. In fact, the doctors could not guarrantee anything until my son was born. My son is emotionally disabled and has learning disabilities but he could have been physically disabled so I find myself blessed in that. I do the best I can as a mother. I don't always make the right decisions. No parent does. However, when your child has special needs you find yourself blaming yourself a lot for it all especially as a single parent. But that's me... If I could make a suggestion... there are thousands of children already born who need love and the guidance of a good Christian man in their lives. I thought we would always get by on the love I have for my child but love will not replace good role models of both genders. I cannot teach my son to be a man because I lack the experience in being one. Get over the "Biological" thing and get out there and love a child. Join Big Brothers or start a mentoring program at your church or the local school. Get involved with a youth group. Male volunteers are hard to find!! My son was on the waiting list for Big Brothers for 8 years and then we just gave up on it! There are not enough men willing to step up to the plate. There are a lot of little boys out there that would love to play catch, go camping, fish, and do general guy stuff with. And they won't care if you are too tall, too old, too overweight!!

Hmmm, don't know how this compares to the turtle soup, "Polk" Salad, and Possum they served where I grew up (Arkansas)...none of which, by the way, I've ever eaten. Especially possum (ewwww! giant rat! KILL IT!) Without love, there is no life...
