Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Replace …er…Contest!
Friday, October 20, 2006
OK this blogger device we use called "...er.." where somebody will say something like..."This chocolate milk is chocolaty and...er...milky" is totally played. All bloggers go to it and it's time to...er...stop.
The problem is it works so perfectly in some cases where a writer wishes to reenact a thoughtful pause at the crossroads of honesty and verbiage. Of course, like all writing it is a reenactment of reality, not the reality itself. I believe including such a pause, as projected by "...er...," is on some level necessarily disingenuous. You don't have to grope for words out loud in first-person prose. You grope for the words, then you write them. You're not really thinking of the word in real time as "...er..." would imply to the reader. You've had plenty of time to proofread since then and you could have taken that out. That's why I find "...er..." somewhat grating, no matter how seemingly apropos it may be in a given phrase.
So what should we do? You want to go back to "...uh..." with all the same problems? You want to just skip to the word and toss out "...er...?" You want to keep using "...er...?" What?
Personally, I am a big fan of the "...um, well..."
But, that's just me.
There's another blogging device that I think is overplayed. The. Excessive. Use. Of. Periods.
I can't even bring myself to use it. I tried it the other day on Crafty Mama and I ended up doing individual word underlining instead (which I can't demonstrate because blogger comments does not accept underline tags).
Anyway, this blog is crazy. You just never know what you'll find here. It's like a thrift shop. Sometimes you find crap; other times, you find gold.
