He makes a valid point
Stew: They said on the news that only 47% of Lousiana residents have completed their 2010 Census forms. If they can pin down that percentage, why do we need a Census?

Putting the fun in dysfunctional
On a 1-10 scale-o-trashiness, with 1 being (Champagne and Caviar at a 5-star restaurant with the Queen of England) and 10 being (Mountain Dew and Vienna Sausages on the tailgate of Second Cousin Bobby Earl's 1983 Ford Pickup),....
...I'd say Trailer Bash 2010 ranked somewhere around a 10.3, which is of course (Moonshine and Spam Sammiches in the kitchenette of Grandpappy's Double-Wide). For those of you wondering, Stew's glossy perm-mullet helped push the trash level over the 10-point mark. That may be the only time I ever mention Stew's name and Ten Point in the same sentence. JUST KIDDING, HONEY, YOU'RE A FANTASTIC DEER HUNTER!!
For all you classy people (Yankees) who need a translation: The Party. Was. Awesome. I mean, what party with barbecue pork rinds and aerosol cheese isn't awesome?

Seriously
You know your wife loves you when she lets you store 2000 LIVE CRICKETS on the kitchen countertop. Which is INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Tastier than tater tots -n- Cheez Whiz
This weekend, a good friend of ours (Hi Gizz!) is throwing a White Trash Bash in honor of Stewzie's Redneckalicious Mardi Gras 2010 costumes.
He requested that I bring the ultimate trailer park dessert; my infamous Kitty Litter Cake.
If you don't happen to have an extra bag of Fresh Step lying around (for the 17 cats living in your double-wide), here's a recipe that tastes almost as good as the real thing. Although nothing is quite as yummy as an authentic, protein-rich nugget of kitty poop. Mmmm boy. It'll make your party guests yell "YEEHAW!"
KITTY LITTER CAKE
1 box German chocolate cake mix
1 box white cake mix
1 large pkg. vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg. vanilla sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 new (and definitely unused) kitty litter pan
1 new Pooper Scooper
(all ingredients can be found at the local Piggly Wiggly)
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).
Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.
To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it soggy. Combine gently).
Put mixture into litter box.
Put a few unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable.
Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly (to resemble a cat turd). Repeat with several more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture.
Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top.
Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.)
Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted.
Arrange them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs.
Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around.
Serve with a new (new is optional) pooper scooper.

Mediterranean Appetizers
I had the pleasure of having dinner at Lebanon Cafe' this past weekend with our wonderful friends Jack & Betsey, Amelia, Katie and June.
Little Miss June has gotten so much bigger and cuter since I last saw her in January.
And seriously people, if she would have loosened her toe grip on my finger, I totally would have dipped those precious little piggies in the hummus and gobbled them up. With a side of pita bread.

SnoBloggery
#2 - Droopy's
Let me start by saying this. I am a loyal fan of Ro-bear's. They are my numero uno of Harahan snoball stands. They are my childhood. My fondest memories. When Droopy's opened up shop many years ago DIRECTLY across the street, it hurt my feelings a bit. Like when Krispy Kreme opened right across Clearview from Tastee Donuts. It just ruffled my feathers and made me want to be fiercely loyal to the original.
That being said, Droopy's is locally owned (as I assume all snoball stands are). They aren't the corporate bad-guy across the street. They aren't Krispy Kreme. When they moved to their temporary Metairie location last year, it was a bit strange. However, they are back (almost) to their old location on Jefferson Highway. And they are tasty.
I had the Red Velvet. The ice was perfection. The syrup was a near exact representation of red velvet cake. And props to the employees for service with a smile despite the fact that we got there 2 minutes before closing time. Oops! I tipped them accordingly.
