New York Food Group #2: Pizza
There is a bar in Williamsburg that gives you afree pizza with every beer you order...I know, heaven on earth, right?
For some reason, the pizza below cost us 14 dollars for 3 slices and a beer...but it was almost 2 am and we were hungry so we didn't care....and it was good....really good.

New York Food Group #1: Pork
I just got back from 5 awesome days in New York and in typical Courtney fashion, a good portion....no...lets be honest..the majority of my trip was focused around the phrase, "what am I going to eat next?" There is so much yummy food everywhere you go--it can be really overwhelming and not to mention expensive. But I think I did pretty well. There really is nothing that I didn't get to eat (besides "street meat" from a Halal truck) that I am bummed about missing. So I think I did pretty good for just bein in the city for 5 days. So now- after looking back at the pics from my trip, after all the yummy meals I had, I realized that the most of the cuisine I ate fall into four major food groups (well..."5" that we will use for all the other things that don't fit any where else). My New York food groups are as follows:
1. Pork/Sausage/Hot Dog
2. Pizza
3. Cupcakes
4. Kahlua
5. other
Food Group #1: Pork/ Sausage/ Hot Dog:
BACON WARNING: I started almost everyday out with a bacon, egg and cheese bagel (often dippin it hot wing sauce which later busted open in my purse--yes, i carried the container of hot sauce in my purse all day...and so I then stank of wings all day! I wasnt complaining although I dont think the people on the subway very much enjoyed the smell of hot sauce on the crowded trains but whatever.) I even ordered bacon/ cheddar cream cheese to add to one of these bagels but the "bacon" was actually more like bacon bits which was a little disappointing but still good nonetheless...I also had breakfast at a place called EGG in Williamsburg and had candied bacon. I had never tried this before but once my plate arrived I realized that it was essentially bacon that is cooked with maple syrup on it and I like to drown my bacon in syrup sometimes anyhoo so I wasnt that floored by it...still flippin good though. Bacon is always good. (no pic...too freakin cold that day to even think about busting out the camera) I also had some awesome bacon on one of the best burgers ever at Bar89 but once again...no pic... Here are the pork pics I do have:
Gray's Papaya Hot Dog.... wasn't too big of a fan...they were alright...Ian ended up eating the second half mine. I think we deteremined it was the sauerkraut that tasted funky.
Stella's Italian sausage. I asked for nachos cheese on mine.
It was pretty damn good and then a pigeon literally landed on my sausage so I had to toss it.
We had a dinner party at their apartment and Ian made pulled pork sandos.....

That's what friends are For....Bacon Updates...keep em comin
Alright. Let's be honest here. It's not really a secret that I sorta like bacon...just a little bit. I mean....I guess I have been known to talk about it a little bit here and there but I wouldn't say that I am like obsessed or anything. Me? Be obsessed with something? pffff..no...you crazy (john travolta) Okay...I guess when people think of bacon they often think of me...or vice versa which is pretty rad, I think, so I really wasn't that surprised that within 25 minutes of each other, I received the following two emails from two very good friends and one was even send to my sister to be forwarded to me:

So....if you go to that site, its all about making a bacon mat. But guess what folks? Come on...did you really think this bacon freak had not only already HEARD of the bacon mat...but this girl has already made her own bacon mat. Now....I will say this much...the addition of the cheese pretty much blew my mind. Although I would totally add jalapenos and a butt load of franks red hot sauce but hey...that's just me! So long story short. I agree whole heartedly with the other website that to die by the grace of bacon would be a sweet and salty way to go.

Finally- someone has the balls.............
(that's what she says................or he says)
This guys blog, fuck you, penguin, is pretty freakin fantastic. He calls it "A blog where I tell cute animals what's what." hahaha. RAD....but if he even thinks about doin a post on baby otters, shit is gonna hit the fan.
oh deer.....should I be laughing? yes..yes i should
oh so wrong...but oh so right. check out this random site I came across -->> subversive cross stitch
wow. this site is cool. These are kits that you buy. And you can stitch really screwed up and inappropriate things but it looks like something your grandmas would have on her wall. pretty silly.They also have this:
You type in whatever freakin phrase you want like for example I did "midi received is da bomb" (no joke) and you'll end up on a page with your text charted on a graph that you then print out and then use as a pattern. I think i just like it cause it has a robot, honestly. Okay....as I type this, I just realized that I don't sew at all so why am I even still talking about this?mmmmm...maybe because I can buy a kit that says this:

Still the Reigning Hot Sauce Eating Champion...
After ordering dominos at 1 am, Schroeder asked if he could as much Sriracha hot sauce on my slice as he wanted. I said sure- went to put on my pjs and came back to find my slice of pepperoni pizza lookin like this (except I added the red chilies myself later). It looked almost as if a 5 year old, who had never put ketchup on their own food before, took the bottle without their parents knowing and just went to town...except this was HOT SAUCE, and Schroeder is in his 20s ...and granted this was almost 2 am and post Office Holiday party so....almost the same thing. Anyhoo....I don't think he was really expecting me to eat it but guess what?
BAM!!!
What were you worried about? Pizza was gone and it was freakin great. I wasn't even phased.
On to the next slice..... I was even pretty impressed with myself...so...anyone down for a hot sauce battle?

Once again...thank you McSweeneys....
HOW SOMEONE WITHAN AMERICAN PUBLIC-SCHOOL EDUCATION WHO DIDN'T REALLY PAY MUCH ATTENTION IN CLASS BUT LEARNED JUST ENOUGH TO PASS EXAMS IMAGINES THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.
BY MATT PASSET
- - - -
PILGRIM: Happy First Thanksgiving. Thank you for having us to your tepee.
INDIAN: How!
(The INDIAN holds his hand in the air with his palm facing out.)
INDIAN: That means "Hello" in Indian.
PILGRIM: We came here on the Mayflower. It is that big ship over there. It has nothing to do with the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. That is something else completely.
INDIAN: We are having a powwow; it is like a meeting.
(PILGRIM takes a bite of food.)
PILGRIM: This is good. What is it?
INDIAN: That is corn. It is also called maize.
PILGRIM: Yes, like a labyrinth.
INDIAN: (Mumbles something inaudible about David Bowie.)
PILGRIM: Thank you for introducing corn to me. This turkey is good, too.
INDIAN: We hunted it. We are hunters and gatherers.
PILGRIM: Excuse me one second; the buckle to my shoe has come undone.
(PILGRIM bends down and buckles his shoe.)
PILGRIM: This is a nice neighborhood.
INDIAN: It is called Plymouth Rock. It does not refer to one single rock. We are not eating dinner on some large rock sitting by the water, even though people might one day think that. We just moved here. We used to own Manhattan, but sold it for $24. They paid us in buttons and arrowheads.
PILGRIM: (Sarcastically.) Wow, $24! That, uh ... sounds like a good deal.
INDIAN: We have casinos and sell cheap cigarettes.
(INDIAN lights a peace pipe, adjusts his feather headdress.)
PILGRIM: I have a buckle on my hat, I think for no reason.

thank god for my lil' notebook
So, I have been meaning to research this for a while and for some reason just remembered to today. A few weeks back, I was sitting at a random sports bar in Alameda, drinking some beers- watching some college football and I just happened to glance away from the TV I was watching and from the corner of my eye , I saw somethin rather odd on one of the other TVs. It was some other sports channel and 'I was like WTF is that?' Its like a combo of hacky sack (hippies) and volleyball... at the same time and then...WHOA MAMA...they started doin flips and shit (no joke)...and before I could see what the hell it was...someone changed the channel...or my game came back on..I can't remember...regardless..not the point...anyways...I made a little note in my little notepad that I now carry around everywhere with me, in which I jot down random stuff like grocery lists, song titles, Halloween costume ideas, funny things I see or stuff like this:
Anyhoo, I was just goin through my little book and found this note again and deciding to finally do what I told myself to do! And after a little bit of googlin' I have now come to find out this "sport" was not a hoax or a joke. This thing is real and its called SepakTakraw or just Takraw. I guess we here in the USA even have team. Its pretty rad but really weird....ladies and Gentleman....TAKRAW...keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyah!

Rumor has it...the album aint that bad...screw it...it's a free DP anyways, right?
Dr. Pepper is giving away free soda starting Sunday. Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy is a reality.
Oink Oink Gobble Gobble Quack Quack Cluck Cluck
Alright Alright Alright....Looks pretty damn good right? Well...that was obviously my gut reaction too when I saw a freakin Turkey wrapped completely in bacon. But when I then saw that is was actually a chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey, all wrapped in bacon....otherwise known as a TurBACONducken (bacon-wrapped turducken). I started to get a little more excited. I am gonna be honest here. I am a little ashamed to admit, for the being the crazy meat eater that I am, I have not had the pleasure of eating a turducken (I know) yet but the idea of adding BACON to that bird seems like the work of a god if you ask me...that was until I clicked on the link at BaconToday that provides a step by step (day by day..sorry, 80's theme songs are running ramped through my brain lately) recipe with pictures. Even I almost threw up a little in my mouth. So, go there if you dare. But if I were you, I would just stick to the pic of the good lookin pork wrapped bird I so kindly provided you. Or not....
