We got SNO!

Okay – maybe not the snow you were thinking – snorticles!

 

Travels in the South

Oh my friends.  This week daddy said he died and went to heaven.  I don’t think he actually died and went to heaven but he had that look on his face like he was somewhere far, far away from all of us here at the Hotel Thompson.  Heck, I think he was even smiling.  It was a strange time for sure.

You see there’s two things that dad really loves.  One is Utz potato chips.  Have you ever had any of them before?  Delicious.  And I can say that first hoof because he has shared with me when he’s had his Utz chips.  Nice of him huh?  The second thing he loves is Butterfingers.  That’s the top of his all time love of chocolate.  Now these days, he doesn’t get much of either one.  Cause you know he and mom are trying to be healthier.

But mom found something that she just knew daddy would – how did she say this?  Have kittens over.  Which was weird because I still haven’t see any kittens.

But here you go, two of dad’s favorites rolled up in one delicious combination.  Daddy says if you see them in a store near you, don’t just buy ‘a’ bag.  Buy a dozen or more.  Yes, you will thank him later – snorts with piggy laughter.

 

We got SNO!

Okay – maybe not the snow you were thinking – snorticles!  Now I’m hungry.  I’m off to find something to nibble.  Maybe dad will give me a snowball?

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

 This month, we are focusing again on embarrassing moments.  There is so many things that our humans do that is embarrassing – it’s sometimes hard to pick just one for sure.  But don’t worry, this month we are blasting daddy again… snorts with piggy laughter.  It’s what I do – what can I say?

Many years ago, mom/dad chartered a boat to themselves and went deep sea fishing.  The Captain of the boat happened to be a woman that mom/dad knew and they always had such a blast together.  So there they were about 50 miles from the shore having a great time.  Daddy is fishing away loving every minute of it while mom is talking to the ocean gods and feeding the fish if you know what I mean.  That’s when it happened.  What you ask?  Well dad started reeling in to catch a fish, pulled back on his pole and the shorts he was wearing fell down around his ankles.  Now several things happened.  Mom rolled hysterically and was of absolute no help.  Captain Elizabeth stepped in hiding her laughter to take charge.  She looked at daddy and said, “You want me to pull up your shorts or take the pole?”  Dad of course said take the pole, laughed and said thank goodness he wore underwear.

Box of Boogers

What the cream cheese!?  Mom/dad went out … alone might I add.  When they came home, they were laughing about boogers.  Boogers my friends.  Shaking my piggy head.  Only my humans would find boogers hilarious.  Then dad was like you should have eaten one and tried it.  Now that got my attention.  My mom eating boogers – eyes up questioning dad’s sanity.  Then mom was like if you eat one I will.  WTP?  Mom hello – if dad jumped off a building would you?

So while they went into the kitchen giggling like school kids, I grabbed mom’s iPhone and ran to my bedroom to see if I could find out what was going on.  That’s when I found it.  Box of Boogers.  “Tangy gummy boogies that look and feel real”.  Really  – who cares?!

Do you want to try one?  Go ahead and admit it – you do don’t you?

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Thanks to everyone that participated in my Bacon’s Show and Tell last month – did you have fun?  I know we did here at the Hotel Thompson. We absolutely LOVE these Show and Tell pictures and stories. 

For this month – we want to know what was your all time favorite toy growing up.  Do you have a picture?  How long did you keep it?  What did this toy do?  Share the story of your favorite toy and what it meant to you my friends.

My moms favorite toy growing up was a game called Perfection.  You get a quick 60 seconds to place 25 pieces of various shapes and sizes into the correct spot. If you get them before your time is up, you win. If you don’t get them in time, all the pieces pop up all over the place scaring the beejeesus out of you… Well so mom says. Mom got really good at the game. So good in fact that she would get people she could do it for a $1.00 – so even then mom was working it – snorts with piggy laughter.

Grocery Shopping Scare

Oh dear piggy heavens!  I heard mommy screaming all the way inside of the Hotel Thompson last night.  She stopped on the way home at our local market for some supplies.  She loaded the groceries up in the back of her Jeep like normal.  When she got home, she opened the trunk and look who was in the bag of groceries.  Mommy said she almost wizzed herself.  How did Don Juan get into that bag and during the day time?  Squeals and runs for cover.

I’m telling you these elves are evil.  They turn up everywhere all of the time on their own!  I’m getting kind of scared now with Don Juan.  What if he does something like this to me?!  You will hear me squealing all the way to Australia.  I’m just telling you – the little guy freaks me out – totally!

.

He just better be glad he didn’t get into mom’s secret stash of white fudge covered Oreo’s.  I attached pictures for you to drool look over.  Licks piggy lips.  And don’t fear – mommy is not eating the entire box at one sitting … although that would be heaven in a box – snorts.  She is giving herself one every couple of days.

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Welcome my friends to November’s Bacon’s Show and Tell.

For November – we are sharing party pictures focusing on Thanksgiving. What did you and your family do for Thanksgiving – or any other big holiday where you are.  Did your family get together?  Did you go out to eat?  Did you cook out?

Since mom and dad were married 11 years ago, they started a yearly tradition of eating out at a special place on Thanksgiving.  They go downtown to a restaurant called Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.

   When you get to the table, there is a disc on the table.  One side is green for go – as in bring the food to my belly – snorts.  The other side is red – as in I’m so full I’m going to blow!  This is one of daddy’s all time favorite restaurants in the entire world.  Talk about a meat bonanza.  They have a huge salad bar with everything you can imagine and then you flip your disc to green and all of these wonderful gauchos come to your table with meat in spears cutting it table side.  Can you lick your lips and say yummy?

  But mom, she loves these little rolls called PÃO DE QUEIJO that are served at the tables in baskets.  Mom calls them heaven on earth and saved herself for these all week long.  They are warm, soft cheesy bread rolls that are brought to your table in baskets throughout your entire meal.  It’s like magic.  As soon as the basket is empty, it is quickly replenished.  Mom/dad wouldn’t admit to how many baskets they went through.  The only thing they would say is that they are back to no bread now.  Makes you wonder huh?  They are made with sweet and sour yucca flour and Parmesan cheese and are gluten-free.

   One of the meats that the serve that are mom/dad’s favorite is called PICANHA which is the prime part of the top sirloin.  Who needs turkey on thanksgiving huh?  Which mom says they do have but this picanha is worth saving one’s self for.  It is also the restaurants signature steak.  They lightly seasoned it with rock salt and slice it thin to whatever degree you want it – medium, well or rare.  As you can see in this picture, dad is jumping head first and asking questions later.  Yes it it that good.

So this is our part of blast from the past in 2004 when mom/dad started this tradition of going out for their holiday.  We hope that you enjoyed it my friends!
