Chimpanzees, missed call, dream of trapping Mao Zedong / Red Robin Seasoning
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
I just emailed Jeremy that funny George Bush quote site, as well as one comparing George Bush to a chimpanzee with side-by-side photographs. After he and Jon take to the car-free streets today, he can have dubious fun scaring himself with that stuff, haha.
Just checked my phone - seems I missed a call at 11:15 from someone in this area code. I know that it's a relatively huge area code, but given that I was expecting a call from someone after 7 last night, I think I know who it might be. If it's who I think it is, he was probably waiting for people to fall asleep! (whoops, hope he's not too mad at me!)
I had a weird dream about a bunch of people trapping Mao Zedong in a suburban neighborhood house. It was the 1980s (at least), and everyone was out to capture political dissidents. The only problem was that he wasn't tied up properly with the dark blue ribbon that we had. He escaped from the human-sized mousetrap and promptly abducted one of the little girls from across the street. We tried finding her, to no avail - we even dragged out this huge coffee table book of character biographies in hopes of luring him out of hiding. When we were across the street comforting the girl's mother (who was pregnant with her fifth child, and had a purple T-shirt with a silver heart that gave the initials of the kid), my dad decided to take matters into his own hands. He hunted Mao Zedong down with a knife, and threatened him with bodily harm unless he gave up the little girl. The girl subsequently reappeared in her kitchen, saying that she'd actually been inside the house all the time. We thought she was across the street hidden somewhere, but no matter. The neighborhood men then charged on Mao Zedong with rifles, but two of those had no ammunition. They tried knives, but those were too dull. The dream ended as someone suggested long-range weapons when my dad was painting his house. Weird stuff!
Red Robin Seasoning
Give yourself some time to make a tough decision because there are nearly two dozen gourmet burgers on the Red Robin menu to pick from, not to mention scores of other fantastic food choices. Red Robin claims its steak fries are world-famous, and when you get a burger, your fries are served up on the side in a "bottomless" portion. Want some more fries? Just ask and you can have as many as your belly can pack in. But we found out that the burgers and fries have a very special secret ingredient in common that makes them taste so good: It's the Red Robin seasoning that's sprinkled on the food. Next time you make a burger, sprinkle some of our version of the seasoning blend over the patty. Cook up some frozen steak fries or French fries, and sprinkle a little of this blend over the top. You'll have all sorts of uses for this versatile spice. And the recipe makes a portion that should fit nicely in an empty spice bottle.
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon instant tomato soup mix (Knorr tomato with basil works great)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Store in a covered container. Makes 1/3 cup.
