Stick it in a jar

Look what we saw in our local store:
I was repelled and intrigued at the same time.

I guess you can jar anything.
 Have you seen these jars before?

Dog Signal

Whenever Gotham City needed a super hero, they shone this signal to get help.
Batman, please come!

Recently I've found out that our dog also consistently responds to two signals.  
No, he doesn't always respond to his name.

No, he doesn't respond to this signal.

Instead, he responds to:
  1. The sound of the fridge door opening  
  2. The sound of jingling of keys

Is that normal?

Cute and grumpy

This weekend, Charlie and hubby did a short Valentine's day glamor shoot.  

I love this little monster.

Hot diggity dog

What do you put on your hot dog?  

I love eating them with ketchup, mustard, and sauerkraut. Apparently, Michiganders eat them a different way.  We recently visited a hot dog joint and our friend ordered a "Chicago-style" dog.   Here's what she got.

What are these strange vegetables doing on her hot dog?  
I guess pizza isn't the only food East coasters and Mid-westerners make differently.

Baa baa

Last night we went to an International potluck.  Everyone brought yummy foods from their native lands.

We brought these Australian treats. 
Lamingtons:  Tiny sponge cakes covered in chocolate icing and coconut flakes

Hubby says they're named after a man, but I like to think they're called lamingtons because they look like baby sheep.  Either way they are perfect "after dinner" treats.  Yum!
