Savory Saturday: What belongs on your cheeseburger? (and what things do not?)

 

 

 

Cheddar Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, relish, ketchup (or tomato paste depending on region).  Think that's about all, although sometimes it's nice to have an onion ring or three in there.

Oh man, do I miss hamburgers. I haven't had a good burger in three years. Celiac buns don't cut it. 

 

And paleo buns typically aren't any better. We're on about 7.5 years off dairy and wheat, and also haven't had a decent burger in that time

As a kid I once found my budgie head-down in my glass of milk. (He had tried unsuccessfully to land and perch on the rim of the glass.)  Fortunately my dad had the presence of mind to fish him out quickly so he didn't drown - the rest of us were too busy laughing.

We had a spaniel mix growing up. We used to go horseback riding all around the countryside. The other dogs were good dogs and stayed with us. He did not. He had a hound dog nose and it never led him to any good. He would go missing all the time. So we would call him when we were riding, but sometimes he didn't come. We got a phone call from the neighbours that they had him, and he was on the porch, drinking lemonade with them. 

 

I also found a kitty down a hole when I was a kid. They had dug post holes around the mill to put up warning fences where the cables touched the ground. Somehow, a little kitten fell into one of the holes. It was a deep sucker, and narrow, so it couldn't get back out. Little eight year old me made a noose from a rope and went kitty fishing. Miraculously, the kitty walked throuogh the middle of the loop and I pulled it up. I wrote my 4H speech about that kitty.

There was one time that we had snow in the back of an old grain truck, so we tilted the box at about a 60 degree angle so that the sun could melt the snow and it would trickle out. Well, at the top of the box was where our dog decided that would be the best place to sleep so that the snow would keep him cool.

I guess I have boring pets; if they hide ( very rare ), it's under a piece of furniture.

With cats it's more like "Where have you NOT found your pet?".  They manage to get under, behind, and into everything.  I had one orange tabby who used to get up on top of my wall clock.

Cats...get places.

 

Every so often Topaz plays hide and seek with us.  The strangest places we've found her are the clothes hamper (she had to do some jumping to get there, and then couldn't figure out which way to go to get out) or one of the kitchen cabinets. Mrs. Strawhat left the door open and went to go do something, and the cat crawled in and hid in the back. We looked for her for hours.

Blue cheese and bacon.  Or a mix of onions, jalapeños and habaneros.

 

But, for the last time, NO PINEAPPLE!  Oh wait, wrong rant...

I'm embarrassed to admit that years back I was in the kitchen and I couldn't get one of the big drawers to close back up.  I shoved it a couple of times, and it would get close, then kind of push back out a little bit.  I finally heard a pitiful "meeeooooowwww" and pulled the drawer out.  Our little bengal popped out like she was shot from a cannon - she'd somehow managed to hop in the drawer, hop out to the inside of the cabinet and curled up behind the drawer.  Fortunately she was tough as nails so I doubt a few hard blows from the cabinet even fazed her.

Our first guinea pig had a habit of hide and seek. He'd get loose and go under a bed or dresser, squeal at the top of his lungs to let you know where he was, then race off to another hiding place while you went for the one he was leaving. Gave mom no end of trouble, I was 5 and not much help. We nearly couldn't get him when he got loose in my great grandma's efficiency, until he hit the linoleum and couldn't stand. 

 

The cockatiels got everywhere. One landed in the Christmas tree, and went deeper to crawl out the other side. Another landed hanging by outstretched wings on an empty pitcher with feet dangling in space. And all three had overshot their backsplash and gone down the stairs at least once. This was a problem with grandma's former bird most of all, as He'd fly til he hit something then walk around til he found his cage. As he couldn't possibly get to his cage from the basement, you had to hurry after him before he got really lost.  And one time the first bird got down the hall, hung a left into the bathroom, and left a perfect wing print on the mirror before landing in the sink.  We didn't clean it off for months.

My Boxer Dogs always were pretty predictable, most of the time they were sleeping in the garden or in their own doggy bed.

So no strange things there.

Thank you

@Great Khan Artist 

for the great question suggestion. 
 

 

So the oddest place:

That would be: inside a closet, behind a wall, within a dead space, on the wrong side of the Sheetrock. Critter was a kitten. 

We think the kitten began by falling down a disused chimney

 

< …There is a long story here… >

 

. . . she had to be extracted by cutting out a 8x8inch chunk of Sheetrock so she could crawl out to the light.

Eyeball to eyeball with me when she was on top of the refrigerator, my wife's Norwegian Forest Cat

Oh, yeah, there was the school hamster I babysat one Christmas. Somehow, he escaped. So we told all the relatives to be on the lookout for him. Eventually, we did find him. I found him, in the bathtub while I was on the toilet. I yelled, "I found the hamster!" and everyone came running in the bathroom. 

 

On the topic of pets, we played Mall Madness with my nieflings last night. It's a game where you run around and spend money at the shops and try to fill out your list before anyone else. Anyway, there's a pet shop and one character has to buy a kitten there. The game also has sales and clearances. I started laughing. "Clearance kittens. That's horrible. I'm writing Hasbro."
