And He’s Off Again

Food Porn – Part 2

   So mom/dad’s first destination was for dinner at a place called Pappasito’s Cantina located in Marietta, Georgia.  They had been here once before a very long time ago and absolutely loved it.  They talk about it all of the time so I thought it would bring back some wonderful memories for them to reminisce over.

This is a picture of mom/dad once they got sat at one of the tables.  The wait staff is wonderful and so very friendly.  They offered to take this picture for mom/dad for their anniversary album.  It looks like they are happy with my dining decision, you think?

One of mom’s favorite drinks at the moment is anything with mango.  She told the waiter that she wanted something mango, frozen and delicious.  He brought back this delightfully frozen concoction.  Mommy said it was one of the bestest drinks that she has *ever* had.  It had an ultimate mango taste to it – which is something you usually don’t find flavor wise when you order a mango drink.  Sometimes you just can’t taste what you order, you know?  But this was a Mango Margarita and was right up mom’s alley saying it was awesome.  And it was garnished with chunks of strawberries and mango.  How lovely huh?  Even daddy drunk some and he even loved it too.

During this time while they were enjoying the drinks, they also enjoyed this appetizer with nacho chips.  Score one for the piggy because I had a coupon for mom/dad for this free appetizer – a $11.00 value – snorts.  They choose a is yellow cheese dip garnished with jalapeno’s, tomatoes, onions and ground beef.

Now both mom/dad totally flipped over these cheese dip.  It was spicy but yet not so much that you couldn’t enjoy it.  It did have heat though and both mom/dad said that it opened up their sinuses – snorts.

And daddy totally LOVED the nacho chips.  They were thin with just enough salt with the heat of the cheese dip and delicious!  He couldn’t stay out of the bag and from what mom said, I don’t blame him.  I love a crispy hot chip myself!

Then angels started to sing and mom/dad knew their main course have floated to their table from the kitchen.  Oh my piggy heaven above!  Talk about hog heaven indeed.  Let me break it down for you because my mouth was so watering when mommy showed me the pictures.  I just wanted to lick the screen so bad!

They ordered filet mignon and Jumbo Shrimp fajitas.  It came with rice, frijoles a la charra, pico de gallo and guacamole.  Just look at all of that food!  Now the shrimp that you see to the left, that is Pappasitos famous shrimp brochette.  The shrimp it mesquite-grilled and then stuffed with cheese & fresh jalapenos and if that wasn’t enough – they wrap it with bacon.  What bacon?!  I can give mom/dad a bone on this one since it was a special occasion.   The sauce is a avocado lime butter.  Mom said it was heavenly!  The dinner also came with fresh flour tortillas.  Mom and dad ate to their delight.  Daddy told me that there was more groaning going on at the table than what he has heard in such a long time… I’m not sure what that meant.

   Can you believe that there was room for an anniversary dessert?  There was.  And I admit it that I was shocked because mom/dad said they couldn’t finish it all.  Amateurs!

They order Cajetas which is coconut pecan crusted vanilla ice cream that was drizzled with chocolate sauce and served with sopapillas – those big puffy things.  And do you see the Honey Bear in the picture to the right.  He also came served with the dessert so they could pour honey over whatever they wanted to.  I asked daddy if Mr. Honey Bear traveled with them to the second destination but he refrained from answering me saying something about me being to young to ask that kind of question.  This dessert was as wonderful as the appetizer and meal.  Mom said she hasn’t eaten this well in some time and whatever weight she has lost lately probably found it’s way back to her butt and hips – snorts.

So now I leave you with video 2 – enjoy my friends.  P.S.  Come back Wednesday for more information on the anniversary kidnapping – there is more that you don’t want to miss!

 

Second Clue on Mom/Dad’s Trip

Snorts – remember last week my friends.  Mom/dad’s first clue as to where they were going in February to meet one of MY friends was banjo music.  I even saw this funny on line and had to share.  For some reason, they think hearing banjo music where they are going is hilarious as all get out.  Daddy even got out his own banjo and was playing for us one night.  It was hilarious!

Mom and dad told me that I could give out another clue for you.  Now, here we go.  They are:

1. Meeting one of MY friends.
2. Banjo music plays a lot to the history at the destination.
3. You will be surprised as to who they are meeting.
4. The time zone is different where they are going.
5. Some say it’s more southern than where we live now.

There you go my friends.  More cues as to where mom/dad are going to meet one of MY friends.  Does this help you in any way?  And to the person who keeps emailing me and asking… you know who you are… snorts.  I can’t tell you yet.  Although I have to say you are persistent and your emails are keeping us laughing here at the Hotel Thompson 🙂

 

Where in the World is Bashful?

Where in the World is Bashful?

The little tyke sent me this picture from his newest destination.  Not much to go on but he looks like he is having a heck of a good time.  You know that rock of mine NEVER stays home for very long.  So I’m wondering with all of the festivities in the pic, where will Bashful be spending his Christmas and New Year?  He did give me three hints.  I’ll list them here for you.

1 – He is going on vacation and will be traveling with his host family throughout the holidays.  I guess some people have the traveling gnome – we have a traveling pebble – snorts!

2 – His vision is still strong.  Sounds kind of cryptic.

3 – He’s catching up with a past girlfriend.  Wonder who this might be?

There you go my friends.  You know as much as I do.  Where or where in this huge world will Bashful be spending the holidays?

 

Cough – Oink – Snort – HELLO

My little tyke Bashful has finally landed at his destination… Just where or where in the world was it??

Anybody recognize that rabbit?  YEP It’s Speedy! Check out his posting this afternoon for more pictures and what he’s been up to today.  In fact, he ate one of my favorite dinners tonight.  What is it?  Check it out and see my friends!!

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION RECEIVED

This just in – mom received word a couple of days ago and just NOW told me that Bashful my little international rolling stone has landed at his destination.  Can you believe that mom just told me??!!  She said she forgot.  That mom of mine – what am I going to do with her?  I was getting scared for the little tyke and was giving him until tomorrow before I called out the Coast Guard.

So little Bashful is with his host family and all is well.  AND they are going to post something soon.  Can you wait?  Isn’t this exciting?  I’m so tickled that I’m rolling around on the floor chasing my tail – don’t tell anyone okay.  Let that be our little secret.

You want to know where he is?  You do, don’t you?  Well, my lips are sealed.  I’m waiting for the mysterious destination host family to tell you.

 

And He’s Off –

Well, my little international rolling stone is off again into the blue wide yonder.   Sniff – sniff – cry – cry.

I have so much enjoyed the little tyke being home here at the Hotel Thompson with all of us for the past couple of months.  We had so much going on with Valentine’s Day and family visiting.  Now though, it’s back to the travels of my little star rock Bashful.

Where has he gone?  Where will he show up?  What will he do?  All good questions but I’m not spilling the beans – I don’t care how much you encourage or bribe me – snorticles.

Only my mom who saw him off and the receiving host family know where he will end.  Any guesses though?  Anyone want to take bets that he will find trouble?  🙂  PLOL (Piggy Laughing Out Loud).

 

Where in the World is … ?

Do you know Waldo?  Do you recognize the iconic red/white striped shirt, the matching bobble hat, those glasses?

Waldo is based on a series of children’s books created by British illustrator Martin Handford.  Books have pictures of numerous different types of people as illustrations with Waldo thrown into the mix somewhere.  Readers of the books are challenged in finding Waldo – thus Where’s Waldo?  In the USA, we love to find Waldo.

In fact, true story – one time mom and my Aunt Tina stopped in a Hooters I believe somewhere in Louisiana.  They were eating, not much drinking had started – snorts, when Aunt Tina spewed beer all over mom laughing.  After mom wiped off, Aunt Tina told mommy three o’clock.  If you didn’t know, that’s girl talk for look to your right but do it without being too noticeable.  Mom looked at her three o’clock and almost peed in her pants from laughing.  A guy was sitting all alone at a high top table and looked just like Waldo – all the way down to his red/white shirt and glasses.  It was too much for them.  They couldn’t stop laughing.  Aunt Tina actually took a picture.  I’m so going to have to find that picture to share with ya’ll.  It was a snort of a good time for those two in Hooters.

You’re probably asking yourself, “Pig, why are you talking about Waldo?”  Well, I’m glad you asked my friends. This brings us to the most important question of the month – okay maybe not the *most* important but close to it.

Where’s Bashful?  That’s right.  Where in the World is Bashful, my international rolling pet stone?

Bashful has taken flight to his next undisclosed secret destination host family.  Where will he go?  What troubles will he find?  What misadventures will he get into?

His time at the Hotel Thompson was cut short this layover.  I think there was a lot of tension in the air between Princess Coralena and Rockelle fighting for Bashful’s affection.  I think Bashful just wanted to get away from both of them to think about what he wants in life.

This time is interesting.  Both ladies are being very polite right now.  We shall see what this separation does for all of them.

So, Where in the World is Bashful?
