The Incredible, Edible Egg (Oodle Doodle)

I have long been a sucker for wacky Asian anthropomorphic foodstuffs. Be it Beer-Chan or that burnt bread guy, I just can't get enough. So, imagine my delight when I came across this egg song through one of my random, pointless searches online.

I was first struck by the bright colors and annoyingly cute singing. But oh, the lyrics, and if you pay attention, the storyline.

My favorite part is the egg that dresses up like a cowboy near the end, and then turns into a pacifier for the screaming baby. What baby wouldn't be screaming at a bunch of singing, dancing eggs?!

Come into my tummy, oh so very yummy.

Yours always,

Zoe Doom

P.S. I haven't been writing much lately because my life's been a bit hectic. I can't wait to start again!

Taco Tally- update

Tacos eaten in 2008 so far- 84

My taco addiction rages on!

These are a few of my favorite things...

Hmm, what is my favorite thing?

Hockey fights?

No, hockey stick.

Well, I do love having a yellow hockey stick in the corner of my apartment (and the ability to use it), but I think my favorite thing is Doctor Who.


Of course, I do adore Sawyer...

but he's not really a "thing". Oh, of course! The thing I love most of all is...

lima beans!

Weird Food

I'm obsessed with weird food and drinks. I don't want to consume anything too weird, but I like knowing that the weirdness is out there. I was recently in the beer/wine aisle at my local grocery store, and was greeted by the following:




In case you're unaware, Clamato is a mixture of tomato juice and clam broth. I don't know why anyone would mix Clamato with beer, let alone cheap, light beer in a 24 ounce can. The label claims it is "the perfect combination," but I have my doubts.

Also weird: bread in a can.

I have a confession to make. Once upon a time, many years ago, I let my curiosity get the best of me and I actually purchased and tasted brown bread in a can. It wasn't nearly as horrifying as one would expect. It is, however, still weird.

Taco Romance

At the beginning of this year, a co-worker told me that some of her friends were keeping a "taco tally" of all the tacos they ate in 2008. I decided I would keep my own count, not realizing how disturbing the results would soon be.

So far, I'm up to 44 tacos. 44! This means I'm averaging 3.67 tacos a week. At the beginning of this month (27 tacos), I became alarmed at the number of tacos I was eating, and pledged to stop eating lunch at the cafe at my work, where my default order was the taco platter. Everything is really greasy at that place, and there's probably 1,000 calories in that meal. I figured my taco tally would slow with the lack of taco lunches; yet, my taco consumption has only increased! I don't understand it. I think I'm a taco addict.

It may have something to do with tacos being my default meal any time I go out. If there are tacos on the menu, I'll order them. And, the fact that my default place to get dinner or lunch when I don't have food at home is El Super Taco. Finally, I am gluten intolerant so corn is my friend. Despite this, I swear that tacos are not my favorite food. Green curry is my favorite, but I haven't found a really solid Thai restaurant near my work or apartment. I am searching, though. I also bought a Thai cookbook so I could learn to make it myself, but that project has stalled.

I really don't want to know how many pieces of sushi I've eaten this year.
