Move Over Rachel Ray......

There's a New Sheriff in TOWN!
(If by town you mean the kitchen and by sheriff you mean someone who is super multi-talented and has mad cooking skills - then YES, the above statement is TRUE).

I don't know if the moons of Jupiter were aligned yesterday or if a certain place did freeze over, but I got the BUG.
No, I'm not ill. No, it wasn't the wife complaining that I never do anything. I got the cooking BUG and man was I on FIRE. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but TOOT!!!


1) There's ALWAYS room for JELL-O!


2) I must've been on a Jell-o high cause my kitchen domination didn't stop there. Next I decided to help someone who can't help themselves - I hooked up my dog by creating these Awesomely delicious dog treats - no, I didn't try one but everything I touch turns Golden (Brown)!!!

3) I then BOILED some WATER to the PERFECT TEMPERATURE and hard boiled some eggs. Once again - I could do no wrong. I had pulled off "The Tri-fecta" as they say in the cooking world.

BUT THEN.....

The next day I was heating up some hard boiled eggs in the microwave.... AND.....







I had lost the gift, the magic touch. My skills had returned back to normal.
Oh well, in the words of the famous poet MEATLOAF - "2 outta 3 ain't bad!"
A dozen eggs - $1.79
A microwave - $100.00
Me cleaning up the mess ...



..... PRICELESS!!!!

For anyone reading these things - it is I, Griff, who is posting these postings. I am a genius!!!

Griff- that is one funny post!! I love the pics, too. Truth be told, I cannot make jello! Sounds weird, but it's true. Did you really feed Soph eggs and jello- what kind of food guide do they use in Cali? thanks for the laughs

Some have the magic touch all their lives while others only THINK they have it. You win the prize for creative genius on cleaning up. Grayson was all about your clean up method and I found a note that said OUT of ORDER on the toilet lid this morning. I did not even dare open it!
Miss you all!

That was the best post I've ever read! You truly are a "creative genius" Griff. Your jello looks fantastic...not so sure about pulling of the "The Tri-fecta" (as they say in the cooking world). Jello, dog treats, and hard boiled eggs...that's one weird combination. I hope no one in your house tried all 3! Please try cooking some more...and post the results. I'm thinking macaroni and cheese, pudding, and asparagus....go!
And the "out of order" sign...so funny. But I would have been so mad coming home to that!

You two are hilarious! Jello, dog treats and hard boiled eggs? You should blended them all together like a health shake - extra fiber! Mmmm Yummy!

Griff, Griff, Griff, check the recipe box we gave you guys at your wedding. Most notably, find the one called "Baker's Flatulent Free Baked Beans". I'm tellin' you, making this will make anyone who tastes it think you're a gourmet cook...even Jess. And no mess in the microwave. Did I mention the words Flatulent Free?
We love you guys & miss you,
Grampa Rob & Grandma Dodie
