Gormet Pizza HNT

Fridays is 'Pizza Night' at my place. I was tired of making the usual, so I made one I never made before, a "bacon, chicken & ranch" pizza. Here's how I did it.

Pre-bake a fresh whole wheat crust for 8-minutes at 450F. While the crust bakes, fry up one-pound of your favorite bacon, then crush it into something resembling bacon bits, yes, one-pound of bacon.

Next chop up an entire bunch of green onions, yes, an entire bunch.

What's the matter? You don't like onions & bacon?

Now the decision part.

You'll need some chicken. There are a bunch of options, but I chose to open a can of chicken and use that. You can bake a chicken and use some of that, or grill some chicken or even saute some diced chicken, but I took the lazy way out and used canned.

When the pizza crust is done baking and all the decisions are made, pour the ranch dressing on the crust. Use as much as you want, but not enough to make the crust soggy.

In my house that's 1/2 of the bottle of Ranch dressing.

Hey! I like ranch dressing.

Then dump on the rest of the ingredients; bacon, chicken, green onions and spread it out evenly.

Finally, dump on a 2-cup bag of your favorite shredded cheese, in this case, Monterey Jack cheese and spread it evenly.

Put the pie in the oven and bake it for about 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is evenly melted.

DON'T OVER BAKE IT, LESS YOU RUIN THE CHEESE.

Start watching it after 6 minutes or you may be sorry and ov er cook the cheese. Nothing worse than brown cheese on a pizza.

After all this, you have one of the best pizzas you'll ever eat.

Presenting my first
'Bacon, Chicken, Ranch Pizza'.

It was VERY GOOD and one of the best I've ever eaten.
Hey, everything is better with bacon?

HAPPY "DAMN, I'M A GOOD COOK" HNT!

PS

My 1st Half-Nekkid Thursday

I wanted to start off with something a little less risque so as not to excite y'all too much.


You too can participate in Half-Nekkid Thursday here.

ANOTHER FLASH BACK HNT

Let me take you back to 1973.

Barbara and I got married in July, 1972. About a year later, it started to hit me at how much I missed having a dog around. So we bought some dog books and researched the traits and size of different breeds of dog. We finally settled on a Cairn Terrier. Meet our puppy Fritz.


Fritz lived a long and happy life, 17 years, and brought so much joy into our lives. I still miss him.

HAPPY FLASH BACK TO 1973 HNT!

Bonus! Play the 'CAN YOU GUESS HER MUFF?' game! You try to guess what each girl does with her hair. It doesn't matter if you get it right, because there aren't any prizes, but it's fun guessing. Click here.

GREAT NEWS!

Os purchased his airplane tickets for New York and my the 'First Annual BTExpress Blogger Pool Party'. He was able to get a good price because he booked early, so make sure you get yours before the rush. The party is on Saturday, August 7th. You're all invited, so be there or be square.

Damn!

Just found out that today is national steak and a blow job day. I didn't get either. :-(

HOLY SHIT!

I totally lost a day this week, so I missed HNT. It can't be old age, because I haven't grown since my 18th birthday. Man, I had a good post too. Oh well, next week then.

FLASH BACK HNT

I got nothing this week, so here's one of me from 2005 having a beer.

HAPPY HNT!

Rest In Peace Bill HNT

Lori's father passed away last week.
The world is a poorer place without Bill.

William H. Colwell
September 19, 1924 - February 18, 2010

I miss the old guy and truly loved him. We got along so well and had so much in common it was scary. Like me, he had a great sense of humor, loved the honeys as he called them and was an electronic technician like I was. He was also a veteran of the army.

Bill was born, raised and except for his time in the military, lived there for the remainder of his life. Bill enlisted in the United States Army Air Force in 1942 and served as a radio operator in a C-47 cargo plane during the last few years of World War II. His unit was based in China and flew supplies back and forth to the front in support of China during those years.

(FYI, Japan and China had been at war since 1937, which was called the "Second Sino-Japanese War". That war ended when Japan surrendered at the end of World War II.)

In 1947 the Army Air Force was turned in to the Air Force, which is where Bill served the remainder of his tour until he retired in 1965. After Bill retired he used his electronics training to repair TVs and such until he retired. He used to drive around the area on garbage day looking for TVs put out for trash. He repaired them and then either gave them away or sold them for the cost of the parts it took to repair them. He also gave more than a few to his church.

Bill is in God's hands now and I'll miss him.

Rest In Peace Bill HNT

Meet Marvin, Men's answer to Maxine!!!

Men strike back!

-----------------------------------------------------------
How many men does it take to open a beer?

None. It should be opened when she brings it.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?

Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Why do women have smaller feet than men?

It's one of those 'evolutionary things' that allows
them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
-----------------------------------------------------------
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?

When she starts a sentence with 'A man once told me....'
-----------------------------------------------------------
How do you fix a woman's watch?

You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
----------------------------------------------------------
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?

The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.

Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%.

It's called a Wedding Cake.
----------------------- -----------------------------
Why do men die before their wives?

They want to.
------------------------------------------------------
Women will never be equal to men...

...until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

2010 Olympics HNT

The Olympic Flame or Olympic Torch is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics.

During the torch's trek though the USA, Lori and I had the pleasure of hosting the torch bearer for one night.

Happy 2010 Olympics HNT

I actually LOL.

PS
I know some of you are concerned, so here a medical up date on the condition I mentioned yesterday. My dick feels so much better. Carry on.

You know something?

It hurts like hell when you nick your dick with the scissors while trimming the nether region.

Snow Day HNT

Today was a snow-tastrophe in the northeast........... again. It was great day to stay in doors eating take-out Chinese food in bed.

HAPPY SNOW DAY HNT!

And God created dog

The Story of Adam & Eve's Pets

Adam and Eve said to God, 'Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.'

And God said to them, 'I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.'

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.

And it was a good animal.

And God was pleased.

And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve, and he wagged his tail

And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom, and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.'

And God said, 'I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.'

And Dog lived with Adam and Eve, and was a companion to them and loved them.

And they were comforted

And God was pleased.

And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.'

And God said, 'I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.'

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.

And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.

And Adam and Eve learned humility.

And they were greatly improved.

And God was pleased . . .

And Dog was happy. .

And Cat didn't give a shit one way or the other...

I hope my son doesn't break his collar bone this year.

My son Brian plays roller hockey. Yesterday he had his second game and lost 11-4 just like the first game. I’m not really that surprised since his team is comprised of a bunch of “whomever they can get to play on the team” type team that just don’t have time to practice as a team. It all just for fun, nothing serious, just fun.

Did I leave out that both teams they played so far are teams comprised of really good players? Players that are professional frigging roller hockey players. YES, professional roller hockey players. World champion caliber hockey players none the less! Players that were on the teams that won the worlds in Europe and Japan.

A little background is in order. I live on Long Island in New York. Long Island it seems, was where roller hockey started. It spread through out the world with teams in Europe, Japan, etc. That’s how good the local teams are here.

You know what, loosing to world champions 11-4 is something to be very proud of.

My Mom

As many of you know, my 88-year-old mother has been in a nursing home since March. Last week I received a call that due to further decline in her overall health, they are putting her under the care of hospice on Thursday. My mom has been complaining for months about how tired she is of being in this condition. Soon, maybe she can get the rest she so desperately wants. God bless you mom!

THREESOME HNT

Last weekend I was in bed with two beautiful girls.


What? Technically it was a threesome and all three of us were in my bed. Okay, we were on my bed, but I'm still counting it.

three·some (thrsm)n.

1. A group of three persons or things.

2. An activity involving three people.


The little one is three years old and nicknamed Mushy. Lori's daughter Bethany was baby sitting Mushy for a friend of her last weekend. While Bethany cleaned my house (yes, I pay her) Mushy watched TV with us in my bedroom to keep her out of the way.

HAPPY THREESOME HNT

CHARITY AUCTION HNT

This is a picture of Lori & I last November at the 2009 Annual Charity Auction and Dinner at the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium. She works there. I would have posted the picture sooner, but it just came this week.



If you play your cards right, I might be able to get you free passes. FYI, boobie pictures are a guarantee for free passes, just saying.

HAPPY BOOBIE PICTURES FOR FREE PASSES HNT

My Computer HNT!

*&%!$*) %#$@#$ %^&&^%$E #
W@!#$ %&** T%$@ @!$%^&!!!!!!

Now that I have that off my chest, my laptop has been acting up. She has been a bad girl, a very bad girl. For the last few weeks she has been in a very bad mood. If computers had PMS, that's how'd I describe how she's been acting.

You'd think I'd recognize the symptoms and try to make her feel better before things got too bad, but no, I'm an idiot. Like most guys are when their girl has is in a bad mood, we run and hide and try to ignore her. It's usually much safer, but not when it comes to computers. You have to step up, be forceful and do what you have to do to fix things and make her feel better. You know, assert yourself.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT TRY THIS WITH HUMAN WOMEN LESS YOU RISK DEATH!

Did I step up? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I just ignored her. I guess you nknow how that turned out? Not well at all. She freaked out and ignored me. She ignored all my advances. All of my feeble attempts to make her feel better. No matter how hard I tried, she just wouldn't cooperate at all. She just ignored me. Things got so bad, she wouldn't even let me access my porn bookmarks.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I knew then it was time. Time to bite the bullet and make up to her. To give her gifts and try and make it all better. I gave her a clean hard drive. I gave her a new operating system. I gave her countless other gifts. She accepted all of my gifts or I wouldn't be telling you this story.

I learned my lesson and will know better next time. What ever, it's water under the bridge now. I've spent countless hours the last couple of days making her feel better again. It was A LOT of work. This has been a rough couple of days.

I can't wait until summer and get back in the pool.

Happy Looking Forward To Summer HNT
and
The Big Pool Party!

BET YOU CAN'T WAIT TO COME
TO MY AUGUST 7TH POOL PARTY EITHER.

Daddy, how was I born?

A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?'

The father answers, 'Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other. There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:

You got male!

HAPPY NEW YEAR HNT!

New Years Eve Lori and I went to her son Adam and his girl friend Nadine's place. Good food, good times and I behaved myself all night.

We had drinks and dart lessons while we waited for everyone to arrive for the party. Notice how attentive I am. The gin & tonics made it a little difficult to concentrate. The hot babe, I mean the young lady teaching us darts didn't help my concentration either.






e had a nutritious dinner. What? Whipped cream is made from dairy and that is healthy, right?







We had dinner in a tight knit group. Don't ask me why, it was a rule or something, but I really didn't mind at all.







Then we played darts. When it was my turn, no one stayed around to watch. What's up with that?

May this coming year be better than the last and may you all find a way to come to my blogger pool party in August.

HAPPY NEW YEAR HNT!
