Leftover Blog Post

I have a few reviews and food items in my queue currently that I would love to blog about. Unfortunately, my camera apparently is no longer on speaking terms with my computer as the two refuse to communicate. Rather than plagiarize an article about health food, I decided to create a makeshift post out of leftover pictures from my weekend at my parent’s house 2 weeks ago. You know I can.

First off, let’s take a look at my parent’s refrigerator. I took this picture on Saturday morning while trying to plan my breakfast. I had almost forgotten what a full sized fridge looked like. I opened the fridge door, knowing full well that I had a plethora of breakfast options waiting for me.

Does anyone else see what I see in the bottom right corner drawer? Is that…?

Yoo-Hoo! America’s favorite chocolate… uh… drink! Don’t ask me why, but I love Yoo-Hoo. Always have. When my family used to vacation in New Hampshire I used to walk to the corner store, where they had Yoo-Hoo in 4 different varieties: Regular, Double Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, and Chocolate Banana. To this day, I have never seen those varieties anywhere else. I promptly killed about 3 boxes of Yoo-Hoo before continuing to look for some real food.

I ended up making a breakfast sandwich comprised of real baked ham (not the lunch meat variety), smoked cheddar, eggs (from the chickens behind my house), and ketchup on a toasted bagel. It was every bit as delicious as it sounds.

My parent's fridge is often times the highlight of my trips home. There's always something good in there and it's amazing how much easier it is to make a meal when you have a full range of ingredients. As opposed to my fridge, which usually contains beer, hotdogs, and 6 half empty bottles of ranch dressing.

OMG I used to love Yoo-hoo! I grew up in NYC and my parents claim that I survived on Yoo-hoo and hot dogs from vendors around Central Park until I was 4. I was so healthy back then... ;)

I haven't had it in forever...can you buy it around here?

Wow man, fresh eggs from home grown chickens. I bet that was a damn good egg sandwich!

I think there was an entire year of high school where I drank nothing but Yoo-Hoo and Very Fine Orange Pineapple drink. Not juice. Drink.
