Mealies For My Love

Earlier today I posted a picture on Facebook, and by looking at it you would think I was having a party.  Mardi Gras anyone? LOL.

Actually, the food is for my partner, Ryan.  No, he's not going to eat it all tonight;  Though, we are having a sample of each dish for dinner.

When I make dinner every night there is usually some left-overs, and with those left-overs I make "Mealies For My Love".  What are those?  Well, they're pre-packaged meals that I freeze and Ryan takes to work each day.   But since I hardly cooked this week - I didn't have any left-overs and Ryan was running low on his mealies;  He only had one left in the freezer.

And yes, they are labeled with the date, and the particular food that's in them. LOL.

It's not very often that I cook food in bulk like this, but this week was the exception; We've been having other foods stored in our freezer for the past week.

So in the end, when I see that Ryan is running low, this is what I do.  Oh - how I love my husband so.

Eating Eggs vs. Smoking? Tomato-Tomato

So my partner, Ryan works out 5 days a week.  He's at the gym early in the morning and exercises frequently.  Only problem is, he eats 3 boiled eggs a day and 2 cans of tuna a day.  He does this for protein intake, and it's been doing great.  But according to a news article I read last week, eating an egg yolk a day "regularly increases plaque buildup about two-thirds as much as smoking does".

So for those who eat eggs every single day, you may want to re-think your diet. Then again, if you believe in the "Western Diet vs. Low-Carb Diet", "Sitting on The Job 10 Years or More Means You Have a 94% Chance of Developing a Tumor", or believe "Watching TV Will Kill You" - you're gonna die anyway.

Aside from that, I still think Eggs have too much saturated fat, at least in the egg yolk.  So this week, I boiled 15 eggs and removed the yolks, since most of the protein is in the whites anyway.  

Now I feel a little more comfortable knowing I have given my nutritional advice for the day. :-)  You can check out the article here, it's pretty damning... this new study has really compared eggs to smoking.

Next... Tuna. LOL.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 51 - Bird Lovers Beware

And this is why they make separate cages for Lions and separate cages for birdies.  Geez, this is horrible.  Ryan would say otherwise, because it was a Blue Heron that killed our Koi two years ago.  Actually, the scene around our Koi pond looked more like a slaughterhouse than a murder scene.

A YouTube commenter said it best, "Looks like Simba finally got sick of Zazu's bullshit." LMAO.

What a Hot Mess: Where's Dodo's Ear, Petco?

I used to wonder if it was a good idea to take our pets to Petco or PetsMart to have groomed.  But it wasn't until Ryan came home with our chihuahua, Lady, shaking and trembling that I realized it wasn't.  I lost all respect for these establishments.  More so Petco, because "They dropped our dog on the floor and were about to kick her like a football!", Ryan screamed.  Boy, was I pissed, but this story has nothing to do with our pets.  It's about the hot mess you're about to read.

Last summer, Grandma Gladys took her doggie, Dodo, to the local Petco to have her groomed.  What she got back was a bloody dog with only part of an ear left.  Yep, Dodo was missing a piece of her ear.  What a hot fucking mess!

But that isn't the crazy part of this whole story, it's what the vet told her when she took Dodo to the vet. "[She] was dried, bloody, was dry blood, everything," Gladys told the Hawaii News . "I noticed that at home, so when I took her to the vet, the doctor had told me it looked like they tried to glue it back."

GLUE IT BACK!?!?! Unbelievable!  Are you fucking kidding me?  I would have gone back and got a piece of all their ears.  Jesus!  Who hires these people anyway?  And this isn't the only dog this has happened to.  One dog had part of its tail cut off.  You should read the article here it's downright ridiculous.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 46 - Underwater Dogs

Seeing these photos remind of Spirit aka "Baby" - a Pitbull Ryan's parents own.  He loves to jump in their swimming pool during the summer months, and I'm sure he pretty much resembles these amazing photos.

Pet photographer, Seth Casteel took these photos of dogs nose-diving for their toys underwater.  It's interesting to see how the water transforms their sweet innocent faces into ferocious-looking animals underwater.  You can check out Seth's prints which are available for purchase at Little Friends Lifestyle Pet Photography.  Check them out.

Is It Truly Over????

How To Use Chopsticks

I love to eat with chopsticks whenever we have Chinese takeout, but Ryan, on the other hand, doesn't.  Over the last two months when we ordered dinner from Panda Express, we made it a custom to eat with chopsticks.  Ryan was none too happy - he would get frustrated and start eating with a fork.  This image only reminded me of him.  LMAO.
