Pre-Thanksgiving Day Limerick



There once was a turkey from Michigan,
Who feared he'd be lunch like his brethren
Come Thanksgiving Day
He shouted, "Hooray!"
His owners became vegetarian.

~ Pink Stripey Socks and Hubby

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Hope you have a wonderful time feasting, chatting, laughing, and resting.

Reasoning about Elvis and Cheese

I was hungry and decided to make my lunch using these four ingredients.   

Curious?  Well, let me shed some light on my train of thought
  • I was hungry.
  • My friend Mary made a waffle sandwich with two waffles, peanut butter, and bananas.
  • I love bananas.  
  • I really love peanut butter.
  • Elvis ate grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
  • I love grilled cheese sandwiches.
  • Perhaps I would love a grilled cheese, peanut butter, and banana sandwich?
And that's when I found myself doing this

to make this.

It actually wasn't half bad. Very creamy, slightly salty, slightly spicy (due to the pepper jack cheese), and just a tad sweet.

Beauty in the details

This weekend my hubby and I visited Saugatuck.  This town is so cute and I really love all the charming details.

"Come inside," beckon the beautifully crafted door handles.


"Return back to yesteryears" chime the double letters and extra "e." 


Hope you had a wonderful weekend too,
Ye Olde Pink Stripey Sockkes

Letter from a reader

I recently received a letter from one of my many squirrel readers.  It just made my day.  Here's what the letter said:

****************************************
Dear Ms. Pink Stripey Socks,

My wife and I thoroughly appreciated your "Treasure Map" post.  During this terrible recession we've struggled to take care of our large family.  With eight mouths to feed, we're constantly searching for food.  Your map has greatly helped us.  Now we hope to make it through this winter.

Thanks very kindly,
Mr. Harold T. Squirrel

PS:  I've included a picture of my youngest daughter Matilda enjoying a recent treasure map find.

This blog is rated P for....

For those of you with genteel eyes and stomach, stop right here! 
Read no further. 
Avert your eyes.
Be warned.
This post was not meant for you.  
(I suggest you read any of my other posts.)







Is everyone gone?  Ok, now for those of you who appreciate the many facets of our human body (and don't mind potty humor), let's continue.  Recently, my hubby showed me this chart on this website.
 
Keep your eyes on the prize.  Apparently types 3 and 4 are ideal

Isn't this fascinating?  People actually do this type of research?  Who signs up to be participants?
