Is it Impossible?

Am I the only one that has noticed that it is darn near impossible to eat an entire bag of microwave popcorn without dropping or spilling at least one piece?

No matter how hard I try, at least one piece always seems to hit the corner of my mouth or fall out of my hand. Yesterday, I popped a bag before leaving work and was carelessly snacking away while driving to the gas station. As I was getting close to the bottom of the bag I suddenly realized I was on track to eat the perfect bag. I guess the magnitude of the moment got to me. I cracked under the pressure and dropped a piece. I watched it fall (seemingly in slow-motion) onto the seat. It landed with an audible "thud".

Maybe eating the perfect bag it is like pitching a no-hitter or hitting a hole-in-one. You'll screw it up if you think about it too much or try too hard. You might even drive yourself crazy chasing after it. I suppose it will happen for me one of these days...and I probably won't even notice.

I know, I know...

So I've been slackin' about getting a recipe posted for the July recipe of the month....but I have a somewhat valid excuse. I've been out of town on vacation and business quite a bit this month. I am also trying to endure a managerial economics class that combines all the "greatest hits" from macroeconomics and calculus. It's just as much fun as it sounds.

I actually have a few really good recipes in the works, but haven't had enough time to get them typed up just yet. So I'll wait until August to post an official recipe of the month because July is pretty much shot. Take this opportunity to browse through my previous posts from last summer and find something that you should have tried a long time ago!

For those of you out there in the blog-o-sphere that need something to tide you over until then, I can tell you how to make a really tasty sandwich. I’ll spare you most of the details because if you need step-by-step instructions on how to make a sandwich you probably lack the ability to read and are just here to look at the pretty pictures…

E-BLT

No, it’s not a sandwich you make on the Internet, it’s a BLT with a fried egg in it.

Directions:

Make two slices of toast, spread some mayo on one or both of the slices, cook up a few strips of bacon, fry an egg (leaving the yolk a little runny), throw on a couple thick slices of tomato and some lettuce. Try it. Love it.
