Fried Bologna + High Winds + Guy's Grocery Games

It's that time of year again, fried Bologna time. Every year at the beginning of the year I buy myself some Bologna, this time Bore's Head, cut thick, and I make myself a couple of sandwiches. It's a yearly indulgence that I don't deny myself. I used Rudy's spelt bread for the sandwiches.

I once did I video on fried Bologna. When we grew up these were a staple in our home. I've seen a bunch of videos on this sandwich. I use Rudy's white bread and fried Bologna, that's it. The meat has to be cooked so that it's charred black around the edges. If the Bologna doesn't bubble up in the middle you got yourself some inferior Bologna.  There's no mustard, mayo, celery salt, you read right, cheese wiz, goat cheese, lettuce or tomato, god forbid. Just Bologna and white bread. It's one of my top ten best sandwiches of all time. Hey, it's only once a year, moderation.

High winds hit Oakland today again with a vengeance. I decided not to ride my bike to work for fear of getting blown into traffic. As the day progressed the gusts died down. So, my ride got skunked by the wind.

I got an email from a producer working with Guy Fieri at the Food Network. She was chumming the internet looking for contestants, and came across my web site, and thought I would be a good candidate for his show, Guy's Grocery Games.

First of all I hate contests. I'm not good at them, I never win. So, why play? Why would I get my knickers all in a twist so I could go on TV, and look like an idiot? I can do that just fine right here, and with a lot less people looking at me.

I'd have to go to LA, which I don't mind actually, but I'd lose work, which means it would cost me money. That's assuming they chose me in the first place. I'm sure they have a screening process. You get all jacked up excited that you're going to be on the Howdy Fucking Doody show, then they tell you to fuck off. Some suit might not like the beard, of the cut of your jib, and there you have it. You're out before you were ever in. As Chuck Berry said, "Too much monkey business for me to be involved in."

If I had the money I'd start an alternative food network. One that taught people how to eat right and exercise. Of course there's no money in that, is there? Is someone already doing this? The internet is the future of entertainment.

That's it for today. Keep the faith.

Life is what happens in between meals.

Peace,
