Have you guys heard of those turkey fryers that you fill with something like 3 gallons of oil and then put it on your deck, and then in about an hour or so your house bursts into flames? But the kicker with those is, the turkey that comes out of them is so moist and yummy and deliciouso, that its almost worth burning your house down. Well, I think we found ourselves a happy medium. This weekend we bought what's called the Big Easy. Its an oil-less turkey fryer, and uses infrared technology to cook yer bird. Its way more healthy, and gives you super moist meat. Here's what she looks like. Here's the bird when you first put it in the pot. Then Mom lost track and forgot to take more pictures, but trust me, it looked like this when we pulled it out only about 90 minutes later. Then we shredded it, popped it in the crock pot with some spices, broth, and the drippings from cooking it. It was excellent! Let us know when you wanna stop by and we'll infrared one right up for ya!

Duck soup,

Bump Watch 08-09 - Week 16

I will stop using the banana pictures after today, I just had one more to use up and now we're done. OK, jeez.

Here's auntie Chris at officially 16 weeks along. Not too much different than last week, but see that little bump right by the door knob? Yeah that one. That's usually not there, and from what they tell me, that's my cousin. It sure looks a lot different than my other cousins!?

A rose by any other name is still a rose,

New Location

If you look very closely, that's me taking a little snoozer on the couch. Mom did a little experiment and let me take a nap on the couch. Not sure its a good idea or not, but she thinks maybe I should learn to sleep other places besides my bed. Well, it worked. I actually slept for 2.5 hours while Mom was right in the kitchen futzing around. And best of all, I don't throw that "I don't wanna take a nap" fit this way!

Que sera, sera,

Getting My Ears Lowered

Today I went to see Miss Kelly and get my haircut. This is probably somewhere around the 5th or 6th haircut I've had. But today marks the first time I've gotten my hair cut and I DID NOT CRY. I was very excited about not crying, and I'm telling everyone how I didn't cry. Not during the trimmer. Not during the combing. Not during the Spiker. The best part is the end when I get a sucker and a sticker.

Knock the socks off,

Only Bananas

Today is another exciting day with my mother. We'll run around doing errands like getting her a new battery for her cell phone, taking her new jeans to get hemmed, going to the grocery store to get food for only her to eat because she never feeds me anything but bananas. OK, that's not true, but I just thought try to make it like look its all about her, plus I'm holding a banana.

Like the pot calling the kettle black,

Should We Play Baseball?

In case you don't know who my favorite team is, I thought I'd clear things up. I bid farewell to the Minnesota Twins, and tip my hat to a fine season. It was sad to watch the last game of the year last night. Mom and Dad even let me stay up to watch the whole game. They thought maybe I was a little good luck charm. Its too bad its ending now, I was just getting into it. I ask to watch baseball every night and I love to hit balls with my bat (Dad just ordered me a baseball tee...supposed to get it tomorrow...I'm DYING). After I hit the ball, I toss my bat and run around the bases yelling GO TWINS! GO TEAM! I hope I don't forget everything by the time spring training rolls around.

Up to scratch,
HAJ
