Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 10, 2021

Ham and cheese with pickles.

If Frog Applause was a recipe, that just might be it’s flavor profile.

I think I had that in an ekiben from Fukuoka. Or was it Aomori? I’m sure you can find a recipe on “Dining with the Chef” or “Bento Expo.” mmmmmm Bento.

What stars have aligned to give us this Sunday edition? Have a Big Dipper of plumage.

Umami, mymami, the mother of all comics, Sister Superior of the Perpetually lame.

So subliminal, the surveillance pickle is harder to spot than Waldo, but he knows your every move like Vlad elf on the shelf.

Been developing an appreciation for bitter. Mm!

In addition to sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami there is also kokumi.

Nah, that kind of stuff makes me poop funny.

I may have overlapped my tastes some. It’s more complicated than it used to be, but then, everything seems more complicated.

I once read about a product called glitter poop. Why would people want to eat something just to have glittery poop?

Ghirardelli Dark & Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Squares truly fit the narrative …!

It’s a Sunday Double today with Da Blog update …!

Rumor has it that some Asians eat dogs by the pack …!

…MSG does not cause migraines…

…but is considered a trigger…

…said Roy Rogers…

…his grain was better than migraines…

…eventhough mine where sweet & sour…

…and his were simply just savory….

…but you do the math…

…no matter how much back and forth…

…it always comes out the same…

…in the end…

Tell you what. You two guys just sit there and continue your armstretching exercises while I check out the umami, okay? And if any is leftover after I’ve taste-tested it, I’ll bring you some [tongue deeply in cheek]….

With two you get eggroll.

Sounds very touching. Gotta hand it to you. You put your finger on the problem.

…I think surveillance pickles have a umami flavoured quality…

…unlike back in 1984…

…when sweet was sour…

…and sour was sweet…

…just like those popular suckers…

…I was more of a tootsie roll pops guy myself…

…one, two…

…three…

…and those sugar daddy jobs…

…that stretched…

…which reminds me of those big blocks of gum…

…and Disney’s Big Little books…

…they were cheaper than Scrooge McDuck…

…somehow Natty Daddy Lemonade just doesn’t measure up…

…but goes down smooth…

…‘cuz, if you can’t lick ’em…

…join ’em…

Hot and sour soup should do the trick.

For what it’s worth, the concept of alpha, beta, and omega wolves in the wild (and hence dogs) has been put to rest. https://phys.org/news/2021-04-wolf-dont-alpha-males-females.html

This brings back memories of my mothers beef pot roast.

Sweet N Sour Cabbage rolls, with Sea Salt ( Pigs in the blanket)

Sweet N Sour Pork with Sea Salt

Now I have to make pork fried rice with Sweet N Sour Sauce

It’s a small club they have, very exclusive: The SittingOn (or In) Something Uncertain Club.

Chicken Fingers Deep Fat Fried w/ hickory sweet bbq sauce.

Sweet lamemami goodness, always leaves you wanting more. MSG? No thank you, just some SLG, please. Or FAL, Frog Applause lameness, good to the last drop of plumage.

Not a fan of Cesar Millan. Much better training techniques out there. Hug a dog today. More wags, less barks.

Day 2. How long shall we stretch this out, guys?
