I'm extremely busy today and just won't have much time to share any crazy dreams I've had on my Nyquil trips. And as I've been a bad Mommy and haven't taken any recent pictures of Monkey, I have nothing cute to share either. So instead, today I want to share with you a radio interview that David Martosko from HumaneWatch.org did on NRA News Radio. If you haven't heard of HumaneWatch, I would highly suggest taking a few minutes out of your day to check it out.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
Let me tell you story, if I may.
I was at a county fair with some friends of mine. We were enjoying the sites and sounds, eating our fair share of greasy food, walking by the beef barn checking out some fine lookin bulls and loving every minute of it.
Suddenly, out of nowhere this lady in white screams bloody murder and takes off running past us. We are obviously concerned: Is she a city girl that stepped in a pile of horse poo? Maybe a carnie hit on her a little too much and she freaked out?
It was then that a very large shadow overtakes the entire area. The lady in white is still running when an enormous beak takes her head off! Blood is shooting everywhere; I remember thinking that the lady in white is now a lady in red.
People are panicking. It's a complete mad-house.
I look up and there is a Godzilla-sized ostrich! I'll call her Lucy. (If you aren't aware, ostriches love shiny objects. We had neighbors growing up that raised ostriches and when I would do the chores for them I'd have to be careful not to wear shiny earrings because they would try to grab them.)
Lucy wasn't any different. She loved shiny stuff too and noticed a pretty necklace around another woman's neck. Before the thought even registered that I should take off my jewelry, her head was gone too.
So we run underneath a tent and lower the sides on it. I don't know what tent we are in, but there are tons of onions. Lucy can smell them and wants them. We start throwing the onions out of the tent and she's pecking at them and gobbling them down. I remember thinking what terrible onion breath she is sure to have. Which then makes me wonder how bad her human head breath already smells. Maybe the onions will be an improvement.
Lucy then gets underneath the tent and pecks away at another lady who didn't want to take off her jewelry, I told her to, but she wouldn't listen. She thought I just wanted to steal her jewelry. Hmph. Like I would steal her jewelry, it wasn't even my style! Lucy gets the side of the tent torn off and then... and then...... I wake up.
I've determined one of the main ingredients in Nyquil must be LSD.

I Feel Like a Cheater
I love beef. Seriously, I love it. I don't think there is anything that can beat a nice juicy steak or even a perfectly cooked hamburger. There just isn't.
I'm not just saying that because I grew up raising beef cattle, I'm saying it because it's the truth. My mouth is salivating right now just thinking about it.
With that said, I've tarnished the family name. I've made turkey burgers.... and liked them. GASP!
Don't worry Dad, turkey will never replace beef in our household, but I think it may be a good recipe to add to the mix when we feel like eating something just a bit different.
Turkey Burgers With Slaw
What You'll Need
1 tablespoon Butter
1 small red onion, 1/2 chopped, 1/2 thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 lb ground turkey
1 tablespoon grill seasoning
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons pickle relish
2 cups shredded cabbage mix
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 rolls
4 slices of cheddar cheese
What You Do
Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions, garlic and tomato paste, cook for 5 minutes. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon sugar and remove from heat. Let cool in a bowl.
Add Worcestershire and hot sauce to tomato paste mixture. Add chicken and then grill seasoning and combine well.
Make into four patties.
Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a nonstick skillet or grill pan. Cook patties approximately 6 minutes on each side.
Combine 1 teaspoon sugar, lemon juice, remaining EVOO in a bowl. Add relish, cabbage mix and sliced onions and season with salt and pepper. Toss the slaw to coat and refrigerate.
Serve burgers on toasted buns with a slice of cheese and top with slaw. I like to add a little bbq sauce on as well.

Don't Mess With Old People
When a woman knocked on the door, Donald Kaighn—an NRA member, World War II veteran and gun collector—opened it. Her car had broken down so Kaighn allowed the woman inside to use the phone, a favor she returned by spraying the 84-year-old's face with lighter fluid and hitting him in the head with the can. Kaighn grabbed a Colt .32-cal. pistol while his assailant ran upstairs. He confronted her. "She said something like 'Stop or I'll shoot,'" Kaighn explained. "I immediately fired the gun." The woman briefly returned fire before leaping from the second story window with some of Kaighn's possessions. "I'm a member of the NRA and I subscribe to its policy of not being a victim," Kaighn said. "I don't want to hurt anybody." (WPVI-ABC6, Philadelphia, PA, 12/01/09)

Wordless Wednesday: Sucker!
We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day in our house. A card is as much as we do. I just don't think it's a real holiday. I want JC to treat me as his 'valentine' all year long, not just on one day. So when I woke up the other morning and saw these on the kitchen table I knew there had to be a reason.... yep, the Women's Auxiliary were selling these cookie bouquets and they knew JC would be a sucker so they hit him up!
Thanks baby, and the Women's Auxiliary thanks you too.
