It’s parade day for yellow, in stride after orange, green and purple — And the band played on.
Continuing here with another pictorial post highlighting color, this of a highlighter, emphasized.
Medley of yellow food from the earth and some hand prepared — Photo credit here.
Yellow Tomato Carpaccio, more striking than red, to be featured before or after blue.
I like the Missing Tooth Emoticon and Invisible Emoticon above. 😉
Yellow Spotted Boxfish, admired and not eaten here — So much to see under the sea.
And above sea level there’s bountiful yellow food to view, get the hue, yes even some roux.
I’m in awe of the contest winning photo above — It’s so incredibly beautiful.
It’s reported… YELLOW FOOD is favored by Rock ‘N’ Rollers — By Korn, Corn, the Banana?
And Yellow Squash like to dance — Get a pan will ya.
I didn’t see the pictured Hamburger on Yelp’s Burger Blitz or anywhere else for that matter, but did see others I’ve tried and some I’ll need to try on their “Most Wanted Patties In Town” list. If you were to eat this monstrosity, you may turn into a Burger, as it probably weighs more than you. Do you think it’s possible for one to finish it? Do you think a giant fork would help? It likely wouldn’t matter, but an extra stomach (or two+) would surely be in order.
First, thanks for the opportunity to try your stuff Carl’s Jr. I liked Carl Karcher and I’m happy to see that you’re still serving after 70 years. It’s quite an accomplishment — Congratulations.
I also want to compliment Carl’s on its creative marketing packages, especially the latest one received for the Steakhouse Burger, since it doesn’t include a girl in a bathing suit eating a messy Burger — How refreshing. Does it mean they now want chicks to enjoy their Burgers too? Sex sells, I know, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, love the addition of A-1 Steak Sauce and Crispy Onion Strings on the Steakhouse Burger, as it reminds me of the Fancy Smancy Steakhouse Burger I created for Hof’s 60th Anniversary. A happy coincidence.
And though I’m not a Turkey Burger fan, Carl’s Turkey Burger isn’t bad.
Another coupon redeemed with a tasting crew on hand to try Carl’s Jr.’s new food items.
And thumbs up go to the Hand Breaded Chicken Tender Wrappers, our favorite of Carl’s Jr.’s newest menu items. Continued research and development will always be appreciated.
The 3-Piece Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders are pictured below.
Hope I didn’t bite the hand that sometimes feeds me, but will always tell it like it is.
It’s Halloween all around the neighborhood.
Trick or preferably a TREAT.
Do you think these houses give out good CANDY?
Some decorations emphasize the scary and others are simply stylish.
Lots of cobwebs, always a Pumpkin, and some straight up facades amuse.
And the house ship takes the Candy.
Below might be my favorite and some were just too gross to post.
Fancy cobweb work was happening this year — Next year it’ll cover the whole house.
Ralph’s Halloween Bakery Cupcakes for a party on the way out. They go over well.
Now on to Orange November with more Pumpkins and remnants of Trick-or-Treat Candy.
A work in progress by Kids in the Kitchen — Some of the Best Carved Pumpkins are HERE.
I’m fascinated by old photographs and objects from days gone by and have often declared the following… I wish I could pick up an old or ancient object, close my eyes and step back in time to see it being used or displayed. Perhaps the Whisk, Potato Ricer or Masher above? It would be mind-blowing to instantly be transported to a place that once was, to silently observe the past life of an object you’re holding or seeing today. I’d want to take it all in, though I might be leery to learn more about a few of the pictured items, yikes, hahaha, hhmmm. 😉
Hopefully this Shark didn’t eat any people — If so, we’re gonna eat more Shark.
Sharks should stick to consuming the above and/or other Fish. 😉
The pictured are part of an Exhibit at the LA Fair, which just swam town to I don’t know where.
If in the ocean or at a restaurant, keep an eye out or take a bite out.
A remarkable creature, and it’s tasty too — Sharka-meata-vegamin.
We see that you’ve been searching for Halloween ideas, thus we’ve gathered our previous posts and linked them here for easy access. How about some Fruit Punch with skeleton shaped Ice Cubes? The hands are easily made with rubber gloves filled with water and then frozen, but you’ll need to find a creative cast to make the face. Do you plan to decorate Halloween Cookies or Cupcakes? If so, several ideas can be found here, here, here, and here. Are you looking for the perfect Vodka for your Halloween Party? How about Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head? Or how about a Trick-Or-Eat Dinner at The Cellar in Fullerton? We went a couple years ago, though unsure if it’s happening again this year. We’ll report back about it and other Halloween ideas. Who’s gonna check me Boo? Happy Halloween.
Note: Thanks goes to our Guest Blogger Steven Woo in Washington, DC for the photo.
Four Meatballs placed in the middle of the Sub, hhmmmm. A curious thing. I thought the Meatballs would’ve been lined up across the Bread — Makes sense right!? A Meatball in every bite. Am I too particular? One theory offered regarding the Meatball’s placement is… Subway doesn’t want them falling out of the Bread when going through the toaster oven. Could be. Or the guy making it just didn’t care. Anyway, it’s an okay Sandwich for $2. Had to get it once (with Pickles hiding story emphasis) and may need to get it twice just to see how it’s made.
I always want to JUDGE a FOOD Contest, I think — Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. Today I helped judge food from endless Gourmet Food Trucks at the OC Foodie Fest.
It happened at Angel Stadium and one favorite was the Oki Slider from Ranchan Ramen.
Shown here is just the tip of the iceberg — Truck after truck, after truck, after truck delivered their respective goods for the Judges to sample. We were stuffed. More about ALL post digestion. Though full, wish we had to-go boxes for all we tried. Most was above average.
Would you want a Grilled Cheese Burger? It’s a Burger sandwiched between two Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, and it’s currently available at Hof’s Hut Restaurant & Bakery for $9.99, with French Fries or Onion Rings and a whole mini Pie — A good deal for a lot of richness.
We prefer Hof’s Fancy Smancy (mostly Schmancy) Steakhouse Burger.
Pick a Pie.
It started with our favorite Beef Brisket Sandwich at the Chuck Wagon — We love it!
Admission and parking was FREE from Noon – 1PM.
It was the busiest opening day we’ve seen.
The results of the Culinary Arts Competition (1st Show) are in and my Blondies won a First Place Ribbon. Cool! It made up for non-placement of my Fancy White Chocolate Flags.
$2 Samplings are available every Friday between Noon – 4PM.
We had a sampling of the Australian Battered Potatoes — One was plenty good.
Waiting for Ribs.
Centennial Farm.
Tomato varieties for future reference.
The above table was entered in the Amateur Table Setting Competition. We found it a crack up. While most try to create something fancy or beautiful, this individual produced something (probably) more realistic and definitely comical with a Cat Food can vase and leftover Subway Sandwich napkins for to-go Pizza and basic Beer. Brilliant but no ribbon.
Faces at the OC Fair — Cows, Goats, Pigs, Chickens and ours. Chef Niece Bailee of Kids in the Kitchen also won a First Place Ribbon for her painting pointed out by my lovely Mom, Pamela.
He’s a Snooth Operator, Snooth Operator — YES, Snooth. It’s YOU with Fast Food, a well paired bottle of Wine and hot date. How about it? Pack a tablecloth and one of the suggested bottles of Wine with a couple glasses and head to your favorite Fast Food Joint.
Order a Burrito at Chipotle, Big Mac at McDonalds or Fried Chicken at KFC, find a table, pop the cork, pour, sip and bite, until you get kicked out for bringing in alcohol. Chicks will dig it!
Snooth helps one find better Wines. Their suggested pairings for Chipotle Mexican Grill, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken are linked above. I dare you to dine in. If so, send a photo and we’ll post it here along with future fast food pairings. Thanks for the photos Snooth. Cheers!
Watermelon is just so refreshing — And check out the Topsy Turvy (below).
One Nation under God — Happy Independence Day!
What?
No words needed here, just a hand. 🙂
When I only purchased Pickles and Ice Cream, the grocery checker asked if an announcement was going to be taking place. I’m glad she didn’t ask when I was due, hahaha. Funny, but both were picked up for a purpose during a recent lunch break. The reason for the Pickles was a debate over the best — And the justification for the Ice Cream is that it’s reported to be outstanding. A co-worker brought in a baggie of Famous Dave’s Pickle Chips claiming they’re the finest around. After one bite, I knew it wasn’t true. They’re too sweet and not what I want in a Pickle. Sorry for spitting it back into the bag so no one else could eat them. Ooops, my bad. In my opinion, the best Pickles are Bubbies, pictured above.
And with respect to Graeter’s Ice Cream — It is pretty darn good. Mike got this one right. Over the years he’s paid hundreds of dollars to have it shipped to California from Ohio and now it’s available here. He recommended the Black Raspberry Chip, which is fabulous and made up for the Pickles. None of us ate both together. We’re not pregnant.
Will walk for food — Pondering language variations and communication this day.
Will the real Pie in the Sky PLEASE step right up?! Is it a Pie Pie or Pizza Pie?
Let me know the way to the right bite. 😉 Where’s the snipe?
Is this all it takes? Really? Okay, have a happy one. 🙂
These were our neighbor’s Burgers at Slater’s 50/50 Burgers by Design in Anaheim Hills. I’ve never seen one that big. We were there to try The 50/50, Slater’s Signature with 50% Ground Beef and 50% Ground Bacon that comes with a Fried Egg, Avocado Mash, Pepper Jack Cheese and Chipotle Mayo. It’s a crazy Burger joint — One gnarly report coming right up.
Although not technically food related, a tie-in was created for expression. This Cryin’ Onion wants the story told. I should be embarrassed, but here it goes… I’ve been using the same mascara since high school, long enough. It’s Marathon Waterproof Mascara by Cover Girl. Nothing fancy, but it works. I never had reason to switch, until now. It’s been discontinued. And if that’s not bummer enough, I’ve been buying it for up to 5-times its original price on Amazon and Ebay. I told myself not to do it, but still thrown off without a replacement to love, I did. And it’s now getting worse, because it’s no longer available on Amazon and prices are rising on Ebay. Its latest, someday expiring seller thanked me, yeah I’d thank me too.
Cover Girl suggests a specific replacement, but I wasn’t impressed and now truly forced to find another — And guess what? It won’t be by Cover Girl. They may have discontinued it in hopes its users would purchase one of their higher priced mascaras, unsure. I’m told the decision wasn’t made due to lack of sales. Was it uncool? Maybe you are CG, because Onions aren’t supposed to cry. That’s not how it goes. Now bring it back.
Enjoyed this Wet Burrito previously at Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant, but plan to see an Irish Pub on Cinco De Mayo — Went out for Mexican on St. Patrick’s Day this year. It could be a good plan, as it helps to avoid a wait, but I almost always prefer Mexican food. Cinco De Saint Patso is like Festivus only in that it’s a made up holiday. Have a great one!
