I admit that I am a hater...of more than a few things.

Okay I know it is wrong to hate, but there are just a few things I absolutely HATE

1.  Snakes 
Want to see me run faster than the fastest Olympic runner?  Surprise me with one of what I consider nastiest creatures on earth.  I have been known to run like the wind, run into the house, run up the stairs and run into the bedroom and lock the door...and STILL think they might be after me.  Ok, you know my weakness.   I wouldn't try scaring me with one though, I have also been known to punch first, then run.  :)

2.  Liver and Onions 
Just thinking about it makes me want to "toss my cookies."  Yes, I was forced to eat it as a child.  I covered it in ketchup so I could choke it down or if the opportunity arose I wold feed it to the dog under the table when I thought noone was looking.  Hiding it in the napkin was NOT an option at our house.  My parents adored Liver and Onions and my sister and I suffered through "Liver Night" every single time.  It is absolutely one of the worst "meat products" on earth.

3. People in my face
You know the type...the person who is three inches from you when they are talking to you??  So close you can smell their nasty coffee breath and see their nose hairs???? Back off buddy and get the heck out of my personal space!

4.  Tuna
Another top contender for the "toss my cookies" list.  I can't stand the smell nor the flavor/texture of tuna...or pretty much any fish.  Unfortunately the entire family but myself adores Tuna.  When it's Tuna sandwich day around here, you will find me outside breathing deeply and trying to talk myself out of that gag reflex. 

5.  Abuse
In any way, shape or form..enough said.

6.  Political Throat Jamming
If you already know I'm against your Political views don't push it, because you will NOT like the outcome...be prepared for bodily injury if you push me to far.

That's it for the Hate list for now...more to come, along with the Love and Pet Peeves list too!!!

Game Day Recipe of the Week

Snuggie Piggies 

Ingredients

• 1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds (you can use turkey bacon...but hey it's game day, use the real bacon for better flavor)
• 1 package little smokies or little hot dogs
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
2. Wrap each smokie with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet that you have sprayed with no-stick spray (or you will be scrubbing that pan forever). Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
3. Bake for 40 minutes until the sugar is bubbly.

You can place them in a crock pot and keep on the low setting to keep them warm during game time if needed...but they won't last long!  Time consuming but they are a hit!  Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce or whatever concoction you desire. 

Friday Night Lights Dimmed in Texas

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Reginald Garrett of SE Texas.  Reginald was the QB of the West Orange Stark High School football team.  Friday night after throwing his second touchdown pass of the game he collapsed and died.  Reginald was their star football player and a straight A student.  Although it was reported that he suffered from seizures teammates and coaching staff did not witness any difference in his actions before or after the pass was thrown until he collapsed to the turf Friday night.

Are You Ready For Some Football???

It's Game Day at Lambeau Field!!!!! Wisconsinite's and Packer fans around the country are ready to tailgate and have a beery good time at today's first Home game of the Season

against the Buffalo Bills.

GO PACK!!!!

The Packers, who rank 2nd overall this week in the NFL Power rankings only received one first place vote???  What's with that??? (Footnote....did you see the Bears are ranked #22....hahahahahaha!! They actually dropped a spot in this week Power Rankings, even after their victory over the Lions last week!!!!!)  The Bills are ranked 30th this week, which is no surprise.

Word on the street is that the Bills are most likely going focus on TRYING to disrupt Rodgers out on the turf today.  The Bills finished 2nd last year with interceptions so you KNOW they will be on the lookout for any mistake Rodgers may make. Which may mean good news for Brandon Jackson who is stepping up due to Ryan Grant being out with his ankle injury (aren't these guys paid enough to NOT get HURT???)  Without our most under appreciated starting halfback will GB be less than successful?  He's been carrying the load for the Packers for the past 48 games...that is a lot on the shoulders of Jackson.  He better STEP IT UP SON! 

I'm off to prep for the Noon game time...that's 10 AM for all of you West Coasters.  Beer is chillin and brats need preparing as well as all game day paraphernalia needs to be pulled out.  Put on your best cheese hat and Aaron Rodgers Jerseys Packer Fans!  It's almost game time!

GO PACK!!!!
