Cheers to 2009!

Hey Yo! It's New Years Eve!

Let's Have some Bubbly!

Let's Dance

Bacon, beer, pizza, baby otters and BILLY?

Just saw that billy joel and elton john are going on tour again. I know where I will be March 28. Doesn't matter that it's in Los Angeles- I am so there....I don't care what cha say any more this my life (bah bah ba-da bummmmmmmmm)

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.....

Is that a Beer Bottle Christmas Tree?

Why yes...yes it is!

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:

there is an otter in my tree!

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?
