Systal Opaliss


So you know when you're commenting on someone's blog or sending "sensitive" information and you have to type in the tweaked out words on the screen to prove you're human and not part of the robot uprising?  Am I the only one who thinks that perhaps these are not nonsensical letter combinations at all but part of a secret alien/monster/robot language and we are all either being tested for weaknesses or otherwise laughed at because when we type in "Systal Opaliss" it translates in robot language to: "I eat poop."
Just wondering.

Adventures with Food

So here are some snippets from recent that don't really fit anywhere.

I followed the directions on the package EXACTLY.  It said to broil for 5 minutes.  Now, I have never "broiled" garlic bread; it is always baked, so I was skeptical of this method.  Additionally, this was my first experience broiling anything, but I was game, figuring I'd only learn by doing, right?

Yeah, no.  Sometimes when the package says 'broil' and you think 'bake'....go with the baking.  Play it safe.

On a frigid night, I opened every window in our apartment as wide as possible to let the stinky burnt-garlic smoke escape.  

And apparently I am not as adept with smoke alarms as I should be, because the only way I could figure out to stop the beeping was to yank the stupid battery out (and I didn't even realize that's what I was doing until it was out).  
Garlic bread: 1 - Becky: 0



Please tell me you see the alien face here.
I took about twenty pics with different flashes trying to get a decent shot that would show what I saw when I picked this nugget out of my 4-pack of McNuggets. (And no, I am not at all proud of the fact that I ate such terrible "food.")



I was pretty worried that no one would see "McAlien," so I gave him a toothpick body to help with the visualization.  Shawn and I differed a bit on how to handle this new edible friend.  I gave him a body and took pictures before I ate him because I knew he was special.  Shawn, meanwhile, was of the opinion 'your nuggets are getting cold, and are we going to watch "The Walking Dead" or not?'
Well, geez.
