Who is looking back at me?

October 21, 2012

Scenes from a walk in the park – on the boardwalk over the marshy area.

I have to find out what these berries are.

And this impressive fungus.

Autumn color from maple leaves.

This mushroom was hidden in . . .

This hollow tree trunk

Some late bloomers

Here is the deer looking back at us.

It looks like a 10-point buck.  He was not at all skittish.

Who am I voting for?

October 9, 2012

The election season is in full swing.  Please remember – your vote counts!  Go now to cast your ballot for the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year Award that:

Recognizes the person who best-represents or contributes to the Mustached American community during the prior year, and is named in honor of the late and legendary performer Robert Goulet, whose voice, trademark mustache, sense of humor, and black leather jackets represented a quadruple-threat of talent the American Mustache Institute is proud to salute.

What am I looking at this time?

October 8, 2012

I thought this was a marvelous photograph.  It was taken by Frank Olsen in Sortland, Norway.  Reference is SpaceWeather.com.  The photographer captured an impressive multitude of glowing things in this photo – the stars overhead, the green auroras, and the sparkling, luminescent dinoflagellates on the beach.

What am I obsessing over?

October 2, 2012

Not me, so much, but apparently some people become obsessive about sock matching and that need is being addressed by a Swiss company that manufactures radio-tagged socks. Please note that this article and the device are all about black socks.

Really?

Here is the article from the NYT that also explains:

Apparently this is something of a problem for people who wear nothing but identical black socks.

Personally, I cannot understand this.  On the other hand, HerRoom, an online site selling women’s lingerie, does offer a survey that enables you to categorize your breasts.  That might be useful.

They are chicken breasts.  What did you think I was going to post?

How am I preparing for the coming Bacon Apocalypse?

October 1, 2012

In light of the predicted bacon shortage, it is clear to me that I need to find a unicorn:

In order to have bacon – and happiness.

I am also stopping by the Republic of Bacon site:

And I will bake up a bacon pull-apart bread from Taste of Home:

Ingredients

  • 12 bacon strips, diced
  • 2 tubes (12 ounces each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing mix
  • 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until cooked but not crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain. Separate biscuits; cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cheese, dressing mix, oil and bacon. Place half of the biscuit pieces in a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; sprinkle with half of the cheese mixture. Top with remaining biscuit pieces and cheese mixture.
  • Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve immediately. Yield12 servings.
