June 29, 2012 - Summer vacation

We drove and drove and got to Nashville, TN. Then we went to this baseball game -- Nashville Sounds. It was pretty cool and I had a great seat.

Someone should call 9-1-1! They're running low on beer!




July 8, 2012

Apparently this is what happens when you misbehave at a picnic.




July 11, 2012

Another visit with the Schutte cousins. At least, I THINK they're cousins. I don't see any family resemblance whatsoever.

April 9, 2012

We took a little trip to the beach ... Gulf Shores, Alabama. Very cool.





I also found someone to clean up after me.

March 15, 2012

The woman is pickling everything that doesn't get out of the way fast enough. I don't think pickled chef is very funny.

March 10, 2012

Back at Central Market cooking school, working as an assistant to Chef Cheryl Forberg. In case you've never heard of her, she's the nutrition advisor for The Biggest Loser. She was fun and liked me, although she tried to write her name on my coat. I wasn't having it.

March 4, 2012

Found some roadkill. Tomorrow I'm making sockmonkeybedstew. It should be pretty good.

March 3, 2012

Tripod's home at last! He stopped for a photo op at the farmer's market. Such a show-off!

February 14, 2012

Happy Valentine's Day! I have no friends but they're still not Tripod. Please come home soon, buddy! I miss you!

February 11, 2012

With Tripod still gone, it's all up to me to fight off the big animals. I'm playing dead in the hope that this guy will eventually leave me alone. He's chewing on my foot ... I just hope I don't get mauled to death.

February 6, 2012

Lenny here: Today the frown is real. I'm sad because I miss Tripod, but I'm even more sad because I don't especially like him anyway! Either way though, he's better than this big dummy.

February 5, 2012

Shhhhh ... I stowed away in Aiden's diaper bag. Huuuuuge mistake! Now I'm up here hiding from him. Please don't tell! He's driving me crazy!

February 4, 2012

Yee-haw! Rodeo style ... ridin' the big dough mixer at Mama's Pizza.

February 3, 2012

We spent the afternoon in Fort Worth at the Emersons. This china cabinet is a actually not a bad place to hang out!

February 2, 2012

Attempt #2 at getting a date. I'll let you know how it goes.

January 31, 2012

Cast aside like yesterday's news ... she left me alone all day, just now got home, didn't bring me ANYthing whatsoever. I might as well just go to bed. I'm not even in the mood to pose for a picture. Just get out ... get OUT.

Sad.

Lonely.

Pathetic.

January 30, 2012

Well, hey there, little darlin'! How about you and me going back to my place and I'll cook you up a nice dinn-... what? I'm a monk-- ... WHAT? Well, SAME TO YOU!

January 27, 2012

If you need an explanation on this one, you don't know monkeys.

January 26, 2012

She's over there making bread and has no idea that I'm making angels in her bench flour.

January 25, 2012

All I wanted was a bag of popcorn. There's nothing left but crumbs! DAMMIT!

January 23, 2012

Chillin' at Central Market cooking school.

January 22, 2012

She and me ... we both feel better now.

January 19, 2012

Heh heh heh ... look what I found!!!!

January 18, 2012

She's getting her hair cut. I'm about as bored as I can be ... WHY DID I BEG TO COME ALONG?

January 16, 2012

A party!?! For ME!?! Ugh, no, it's a dang baby shower. They wouldn't even let me bake the cupcakes and I ROCKED pastry classes in culinary school.

January 10, 2012

Words just can't express how unfair this is. Nobody ever offered to buy ME a new carseat.  Pffft.

January 9, 2012

We are going someplace called work. From the look on her face, it's not going to be much fun.

January 7, 2012

All I can say about this is, dear Lord, please PLEASE rescue me from this screaming toddler.

January 5, 2012

Found some long-lost cousins in Arkansas at this place called Cracker Barrel. They sure do grow 'em big in these here parts!

January 4, 2012

Well, look who decided to show up! Lenny was along on this trip after all, he just stayed in the house pouting all the time. We are at the welcome center going into Tennessee. Note the frown on his face. He's probably just tired from all the traveling.

January 3, 2012

It was the last day on the farm, so they let me drive the tractor. I'm pretty good at it, as you would probably guess.



Now we have this same tractor in a larger size at home. They won't let me drive it.

January 2, 2012

We left Milford, OH after a great visit with the Schutte cousins ... oh, and it was right in the middle of a snowstorm. It took quite a while to get back to the farm but on the way, we stopped at Uncle Gerald's house in Winchester, KY. It was still snowing, we were all frazzled, I was hot, so I decided to sit out on the patio while the others visited inside. Brrrrrr ...

Starting over ... catching up!

Facebook just wasn't cutting it for two wild 'n crazy guys like us! We've been around forever but decided to go the blog route, especially since the Woman got a new job. She takes us with her and the people like us, but won't let us cook for them. Rude, right?

After all of the catching up, we'll go from there. We are quite well-traveled, and like to go places and do fun things. You'll see what I'm talking about soon.

So this is our first picture. It's actually only Tripod, as Lenny was off in the corner pouting somewhere. Actually, I think he was such a drag that we didn't even take him to Kentucky on this trip.



I am at Hofbräuhaus in Newport, Kentucky ... visiting the Schutte cousins. This is the manager who took me back to the kitchen and tried to get me drunk (see that beer that's the same size as me???). Didn't work.



Another shot in the kitchen, working the line. These people make some damn fine food here.
