Rodeo hides. Raw meat. Greets.

Pushing up daisies or a tricky hole in one?©

Hee-haw. It’s time to get down and dirty. Tear em’ up, pardners.

Ready to girth up? It’s rodeo time. Meat, you there. (You do have your doc on speed dial, right?)

Out of the first chute are new offerings in gourmet carnival feedbags:

• Forget those soggy collapsing cardboard trays of nachos. This year tote Halloween loot-sized plastic buckets of nacho chips! Layers and layers of gooey unidentified yellow goop cheese sauce, chips, and jalapeños. (A Bucket List item for real.)
• Twisted heat from Candy Apples dipped in Tajin, a powdered seasoning made with lime juice, hot chile peppers, and salt. (What was that about an apple a day calls the doc?)
• Chomp a Koolicle: sour and sweet pickles spa-soaked in fruit punch Kool-Aid for 3 days.  Or stick with the deep fried pickle spears.
• Deep fried unsalted butter with choice of dipping sauces.
• A Deep Fried Snickers Sunday smothered with warm caramel and peanuts, topped vanilla ice cream with mountains of whipped cream and a cherry. (Easy to wear this body experience inside and out.)
• Last year it was all bacon, bacon, bacon. This year bacon popcorn is being joined by a fiery clear-your-sinuses-out spicy version. (Have the beer chilled and ready at hand!)
• Wanna a better view? Ch 26 Carnival Food Video or another serving at Midway Gourmet with Cleverley.

Hit the rode, cowboys and cowgirls. 

There’s nothing like deep fried foods on a hot day, with elbow to elbow crowds, and a fist full of tickets for carnival rides!

Gagging Gasping for mercy? Try Katherine’s Chuckwagon Creamed corn or Jalapeño Margarita recipes.

Talk about gagging, then there’s People as meat.

Yep, ripped open human flesh looks just like stuff in the butcher’s case. (Oh, please can’t disengage for a minute to objectively, scientifically notice the animal within?)

Chunks gouged and open wounds does brings to mind certain gruesome movies. Not really what you want for real life neighborhood fare.

The phone call belongs in horror movies: One beginning with “I thought I was going to die.”

A small update concerning the vicious pit bull(s) attack on Molly and Staff,Too last week. Both are healing. While there are Frankenstiches to tend on Staff,Too, Molly smugly says, “A plush coat hides so much.” (A girl is always concerned about her appearance.)

Molly isn’t holding any grudges against other canines or nervous about being out of the house. Holding her same cheerful attitude, Molly is willing to deal with life as it comes, no less.

No, that’s not a dirge you hear playing. Pretty flowers! Just pretty flowers! For celebration.©

No less has a place.

It has been no less – and a few daze more – than 5 years for this blog.

A handful of years and hands down the best readers in existence.

A big Thank You to every single reader and follower who stumbled and mumbled this way.

Can’t express for grateful I am for all the comments, kindness, challenges, and camaraderie I’ve found here.

RC Cat insists more celebration is in order…something about catnip mousies for all. Perhaps at a future date.

Meanwhile, cheers to fellow bloggers! Onward through the fog and blogs!

It’s great! They didn’t even care I ate yet another harness. And yogurt. I get yogurt without whining. Although the cheese lumps taste a bit odd…but cheese!©
