There's a slight chance I took this photo because I thought someone had bought a sculpture of a speared deer... and that I only just realised it is, in fact, merely a rake leaning against a sculpture of a deer.
What? Wait, no, let me rephrase that... Why?
True Blood! True Blood! (Close enough, anyway.) Where's my Alexander Skarsgård? Somebody get me my Alexander Skarsgård.
Well, I suppose I can make do with Doc. P.S. Nice work integrating yourself into the shot, L.MiteMaster.
I may or may not have been utterly confused by the word "spasagna" until I figured out that it is lasagne made with spaghetti. Ingenious!
Oh look, more Doc. He's such an attention-hog. Attention-hog-dog. And L.MiteMaster, the Attention-Ahoy-Boy. (Just call me Hannah Seuss.)

Errrrrr you’re such a spasagna!
Or, such a Laghetti perhaps?
Hahahaha. Future bogan child’s name: Mercedes Laghetti Ch’Anelle Beyonce.
Oh my, don’t encourage me…must remember: naming children does not equal an exercise in humour. Serious business. Potentially scarring, very serious business.
PS. As I believe you are whisperinggums junior’s mother, I will call you tomorrow about the retrieval of chocolate! Over and out!
Grapple? Why? WHY?!
Did you try the grapple? Did you? Was it disgusting? Although I wouldn’t buy it because of the packaging alone, and can’t condone it.
I have rarely been so confused as when initially confronted with an Italian-American menu in the 80s and their absolute misuse of the term marinara. I remember being gobsmacked that you would even think about combining marinara sauce with meatballs, let alone put that on a menu, and wondering who possibly would eat that????
Oh and I love the thoughtful Bikers Welcome on the blood bank. Yes siree that’s where I want my blood products to be coming from.
Do they really still have pennies in America? Such that they need to charge $6.29
You know Louise I thought the same as you, originally, about Marinara. Twas very confusing BUT here, apparently, is the gen: http://www.italianchef.com/marinara.html It was MADE by fisherman!
L-Izzle: Shhh! It’s a secret!
S-J: My thoughts exactly. *shudder*
Louise: I have certainly eaten my fair share of crazy foods (and am in half a mind to post some of them…) but I refuse to eat adulterated fruit. Though I think we might have to cut the Americans some slack on the marinara front, as I think that even in Italy marinara can just mean a tomato sauce, not seafood as in Australia.
Re: bikers, I didn’t think of that! Brilliant
And yes, they most certainly have pennies. There’s a good West Wing episode that discusses the pointlessness and expense of the penny…
The grapple is horrible. And pointless. It’s pretty much a regular apple that’s been injected with whatever they use to flavor grape soda. Blech.
OMG croquecamille, I just googled the process. It’s revolting. I love the website speak, they try to make it sound like a day spa for apples- they have a “relaxing bathing process”. It looks revolting. Fuji and Gala are the best of the apples by a long shot anyway. Why wreck them with an artificial flavour? And what exactly is wrong with an apple that tastes like an apple?

LOL a grapple and spaspagna? Did you try them?
Croque Camille and Louise: You two are far better researchers than I, although I must admit I can’t help wishing I didn’t know how Grapples were made. If the apples really are that “premium”, why mess with them?
Up next, the Sausrot: carrots infused with sausage flavour…?
Lorraine: I must admit I was tempted by the Grapple at first glance, but then I decided I’d rather put my too-expensive-fruit money towards raspberries. That way, I could keep a small part of the moral highground whilst also pretending I was back in the Aussie summer… And sadly I only spotted the spasagna on the menu after making my order. Silly enormous American menus!
Hannah and Louise – Exactly. Apples taste good on their own!
How about some Tomacco? (Any Simpsons fans out there?)
