Hot Pockets, the MREs of the Civilian World?

Hot Pockets, do you love ‘em or hate ‘em? Answer honestly and then watch the video.

I have finally completed enough work on our new cartoon blog to at least introduce it to our readers. There are a few cartoons in the archives, and many more to come. We plan on offering a different method of syndication for those who are interested in displaying the daily cartoon on their blog. If you have a website or a blog and would like to display the cartoons there are two ways to do that. The first way is old fashioned and takes up a lot of your time over the course of time. The first method is to simply save the cartoon and upload into your files and display in a post or somewhere else on your blog. We only ask that you link back to the cartoon blog itself.

The second way is much better. If you visit Delta Bravo Sierra you will see a tab at the top that says “Embed Codes for Your Site.” There are two embed codes. One code is full size display, and is most appropriate the for a header or footer of a blog, and the second code is a sidebar code like the one you see on my blog today to the right. It embeds the cartoon and gives it a scroll bar for viewers to use. The great thing about the embed code is that every day when Mr. Hooah! uploads a new cartoon, the display on your blog will change too! A new, free and fun cartoon (a lot of them are of a military nature) every weekday with out doing anything for it. You have total control as to where the code is put and how long you have it.

I am also willing to help out anyone who is having a problem embedding the frame into their blog. Just send me an email and I will see what I can do to help you figure out any glitches you may have.

So, with no further ado, please let me introduce to you all, Delta Bravo Sierra.

And we are saving what, again?

backward_clock.gifSo, we are now officially into our third day of daylight savings time — or we are coming off of DST or something like that, I think. I can only semi-think right now because the stupid time change has left me discombobulated once again. So, what is it we are saving exactly? Daylight? I don’t feel like I have added a single second onto my day since I have had to spend the majority of the day trying to remind myself to keep my eyes open. Ugh.

I was raised in Arizona where the time never changes and Coyotes never sleep. I have lived in the South for over 20 years now and you would think that my body would be adjusted to the time change dealio. Nope. My body and brain reject it on every level. It’s always the Spring forward thing too — I can handle the whole “Fall back” time, but this losing an hour in the morning time just kills me. It’s just an hour, so I can’t figure out why it leaves me so cloudy headed for about a month.

Here’s a new platform for a Presidential Candidate who wants to stand apart from the others — promise that you will pass legislation that will leave our time alone and lower our taxes. Heck, with those two promises alone you could win the seat!

I hope to come out of my cloud soon. I am totally exhausted, but making it. I even made my first Indian dish right here at home. The only real Indian cuisine restaurant in our area shut down, and we have been “needing” some Tandoori Chicken and Naan. Well, I gave it a shot and it was good… not as good as we have had, but I know a few things I need to do next time. Oh, and I only set the fire alarm off one time while using the cast iron skillet to simulate a Tandoor oven. :) Hey, being a homemaker is not just a job… it’s an adventure.

So, chime in and tell me how you are doing with this time change — actually you can chat about anything you want to. What’s on your mind the most these days?

Mr. Hooah! had a good night…

My husband is a carnivorous-extremeous. He loves beef especially. So, tonight he had Vietnamese Style Steak for supper. He was a pretty happy camper, to say the least. I was pretty darned pleased myself! It’s a very tasty and easy dish. If you want the recipe just visit my recipe blog (you can get there via the tab right below my banner or just click on the picture!) The picture is the finished product from the recipe I posted. It is adapted from a Saveur magazine article.

Bon Appetite!
