The Aardvark's Tongue

Well the website for Sun-Dried Aardvark-Tongue Swizzle Sticks is just around the corner. At the moment I have the blog up. I am also working on optimizing the page for search engines. Interestingly google suggests the following words:

• Aardvark Pictures
• Aardvark Clay
• Aardvark Tactical
• Aardvark Facts
• ai Aardvark
• Aardvark Animal
• Ruffed Lemur
• Aardvark Archie

One of the terms suggested by WebCEO is "The and and the Aardvark". All of the above terms is going to make for some pretty strange reading.

The website will be at www.aardvarktongue.com. Remember you will be able to buy the book, the audio book and Rooibos Tea there as well. below is a screen shot of what the home page will look like.

I am tired

Damm, that kitchen was hard work. I am totally spent today. This morning I put in the kick boards and caulked the counter-tops and was the officially finished (I thought). It then dawned on me that I needed to take the old kitchen to the dump before I could get it off my mind. So I broke all the cabinets down, put them in the trailer and hauled them away.

Now I am debating...which is better?
Post Road Pumpkin Ale?
or
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale?

In my mind after having just tasted them there is really no debate. There is a "Road" you should take and a "Dog" you should avoid.

So it was time to renovate the kitchen.

Better to improve the house than to drop the price.
Damm sub-prime loans!

2 lbs pork
1 lb of bacon
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Mince port, beef and herb mixture (not too fine)

Note: If you don't have bacon and it's absence probably won't be noticed - the taste will still be excellent. It is also.
