This blog is getting fierce. It's probably good that John and Frank are staying out of the Air Hockey Challenge. I guess Adam and I are just naturally competitive people. Besides, Tierney called me out specifically. I adore her but you can't back down right?

Anyway, to a more friendly subject, the fried green tomatoes. They turned out great and I had to stop "taste testing," them last night. My dog, Buddy, was licking his chops with all the smells coming from the kitchen.

He's a mutt. Half lab, half shar-pei. Everyone always asks, how did that work? I have no idea but I rescued him from Texas. He was found on the side of the highway in a box with 11 other brothers and sisters. I just couldn't resist his wrinkled forehead. I'm sure just like your furry family member, he's more than willing to sample anything in the kitchen.

However, the fried foods will have to wait a couple of weeks. I have to be in top shape for the Air Hockey Challenge. I don't want to have any excuses when Tierney and I hit the table. When is that again Tierney?
