Been married one whole year today. Yeah, I got married on Cinco De Mayo. I am less likely to forget the date if it is a holiday. I am such a guy that way.

Yay us!

I was grocery shopping last weekend and rummaging through the frozen food section looking for breakfast sausage.   You know, the frozen patties you can cook really quick in the morning.  The kids love them.  Ran across some chubs (heh love that word) of raw ground pork sausage.  Not just any pork, Bacon and Pork Sausage.  Now, the chances of me NOT buying something labeled Bacon Flavored Pork Sausage is pretty much nonexistent.

I tossed it in the freezer last weekend and forgot about it.  Last night I was seriously cravin’ some rice dressing and remembered I had the delightful treasure in the freezer.  Thawed it out with a pound of ground turkey and soon had it cooking up in my favorite tall skillet and a rice cooker full of long grain rice cooking in chicken stock.  I sauteed the pork and then tossed in some minced onion, garlic and half the spice cabinet.  I love Penzeys….

I dumped the rice into the meat mixture and damn it had that absolutely perfect boudain rice texture.  Needless to say it is ALL gone.  I was sort of bummed because I didn’t have an green onions which are always the best thing every about making rice dressing for me.  However, it was absolutely amazing without it.  That bacon flavored yumminess was just what I was craving.

I cannot remember the brand, but next time I am at the store I will buy about 5 chubs more and blog the name for you guys.  I am thinking it would make an excellent addition to a nice ground sirloin meatloaf with some brown gravy and fluffy white rice.

Ok, I haven’t posted an IM chat in ages and Joe’s gift for stating the obvious and his unparalleled skills of rationalization deserve to be immortalized.  Preface: Sent Joe the delightful cursing screed of Rachel Lucas about her taxes and this is what ensued…

Dave Grohl is one of my guilty pleasures.  I would rather have him telling me to call him whenever I wanna grind, than Prince.

First Annual Time Blog Index has Ace number 1?

Excellent indeed. We have always known he is The Shit. Hell he is the reason I began blogging in the first place and I would venture to say there are many of you who began your little blogging adventures because of this Alpha Moron.

Time says:

We had our say about the best blogs in the world, and asked you to vote on what you think of our selections. Here’s how they rate so far on a scale of 1 (abysmal) to 10 (indispensable.)

So go vote for our fearless quasi-leader. I say quasi-leader because most of us do not have the attention span to actually follow anyone’s lead to begin with.

What Time has to say about AoSHQ:

The conservative/ libertarian answer to the Daily Kos, the Ace of Spades HQ, (AoS) has been going strong since 2003, and recently recorded its 10 millionth hit. Like most political blogs, the anonymous Ace comments on the day’s political news and provides links. But the anonymous Ace who writes the blog isn’t afraid to mix it up; AoS is full of snarling, flat-out funny commentary, videos, cartoons, pictures, and gratuitous insults. And while reliably conservative, AoS is no shill; last summer, the blog called President Bush “incompetent” and “embarrassingly dimwitted” and urged him to retire. The quote from H.L. Mencken in the AoS banner pretty much sums up Ace’s mission: ”’Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats.”

Sample Ace of Spades HQ Post: So long as Obama’s having that “open, candid” discussion about race we’ve all so long wanted to have, perhaps we can finally begin to address the virulent anti-Semitism infecting large segments of the black population while we’re at it, huh? Or wait—are we not having that “open, candid” a discussion?

Congratulations Ace, you deserve it.

Finally managed to get everything into a blogroll.  Also, you will notice on the inside right column there is a nifty little “Moron Headlines” feed as well.

Enjoy all the Moron Bloggers have to offer!

If anyone is interested I can send you my opml for the links and headlines for your own blog.  I am pulling all these in from Google Reader which I live and die by.  I entered them all so you wouldn’t have to.  Well at least i think so… you should be able to use my opml so lemme know if you want it.

Adobe Flex is some slick stuff and Photoshop express is free!

My husband sent me this link. It is amusing.

Ok, this guy is a badass…
