Vagina Cake?

This is a cake that is now being sold at Fred Meyers in the Portland Area. Its supposed to be a cute, anthropomorphous watermelon with slice taken out of it. However, the location where the slice is taken from on Ms Watermelon is somewhat unfortunate.

Wonk's Want of the Weak

Ok, I have been thinking about this meal for a couple days now. I have discovered through extensive research (Google)that there is even a WHOLE BOOK* named after what my din-din will be tonight.

Behold!


I am craving some Kraft Mac n' Cheese and complete with chopped up hot dogs and peas in it. And most likely knowing me some hot sauce too. To quote the ever-irritating Rachael Ray, Yumm-o!

*Ok, so it turns out that the book has nothing to do with macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, peas, or putting them all together in one glorious pot. I don't think it even has a single recipe in it. Its about teaching your kids how to pray and be thankful for stuff like food. Which is all well and good, but a rather misleasding title in any case, methinks.

Wonk's Want of the Weak

Ok, Peanut Butter isn't too far up the list of worst things for you, but in copious amounts it can clog up your whole digestive, circulatory, and, in extreme cases, respiratory systems. Its seems as though I can never stay full, especially in the mornings, but if I have me a couple tablespoons of some extra chunky peanutty goodness, I am good to go for at least a couple hours. But here's my naughty little secret that my brother taught me: Top off your peanut butter toast or crackers with some Long Duck Dong Sauce (Sriracha for the less informed, pictured below) and you have some Thai-flavored spicy yum yum for your tum tum! Granted, I eat almost everything with Long Duck Dong Sauce even in a non-preggo state, but it this case, a more normal person who cares for the spciy foods might enjoy it as well.



Bon Appetite!

Scariest Storm EVER.

Last night one I was confronted in the most terrifying way by one my of biggest fears. Anyone who knows me knows that I am scared to the core of thunder and lightning storms. When I was a child and a rare thunder storm occured, my parents would do the classic countdown (one-onethousand, two-onethousend....) but not to guesstimated the distance of the storm, but rather how long it would take me to run screaming for shelter in their room. To this day they still call and check up on me. The weather this spring/summer has particularly kooky here in Portland this year, and in the last 4 days we have had 2 HUGE thunder and lightning storms, not too common for us in the Pacific NW. I survived the one on Sunday pretty well, even with the emergency ticker on the bottom of the TV screen telling people to stay inside otherwise you WILL be stuck by lightning. I just turrned up the volume on the TV and pretended like people weren't being electrocuted by the dozens.
But last night was a different story. At exactly 2:45am last night my boyfriend and I were both woken up screaming and gasping (ok, maybe I was the screamer, but Mr W. was definately freaked as well) by the loudest, house-rocking clap of thumder I have EVER heard. The whole house literally shook and the cats totally freaked out as Mr Wonk jumped out of bed and went to go shut off all the fans and whatnot while I made sure I didn't soil the bedding. The rain started to pelt down so hard it sounded like hail. I could even hear the downstairs neighbors had be awakened as well and were sucrrying about. We stayed sitting up for a few minutes and waited for Aremegeddon, but the storm moved very swiftly away. We could hear the fading claps loudly in the distance. I was so jittery after that, I had a hard time sleeping again and had nightmares for the rest of the night. Most everyone in Portland and the surrounding areas have very similar stories. I think not one person got a good night sleep 'round these parts.

New (baby) Blog Alert

After much consideration, I have decided to launch a new blog that will be dedicated to posting about my pregnancy and I will be making it public. Eventually it will morph to the terror and trials of motherhood, but how about one step at a time for now, K Peeps? Even though it will be a challenge to separate my Wonky-Blog Life from my Mini-Wonk Blog Life as they are both inexorably entwined, I will maintain posting on this blog and try and keep the hormonal rantings where they belong on the other site. There will probably be some growing pains and separation anxiety, so please bear with me!

So if it pleases you, come visit Preggo Wonk over here!
