Imitation Post #1... Muffins, Cookie Bars, Cookies, Sandwich, Oh My!

I've got 5 Imitators for you today! 5 Imitators. 5 Imitators. 55555555555.. yep, 5.

Ever heard the saying Imitation is the MOST sincere form of flattery?? This is my FIRST Imitation post. Every month, I am going to make it a goal to have an Imitation post. This first post will kick it off with me Imitating 5 foodie Blogger recipes.. And in effect, flattering them!

Before I begin however, I must tell you what pops in my head when I hear the word IMITIATE.. Can YOU GUESS.. porn movies.. Yessiree IMITATE brings to my mind porn flicks... and for 3 reasons. If'n you dont want to add some spice to the bedroom, or understand the workings of my sick mind, please skip to the recipes. If however, you are exciting and wish to add some more multiples to your O's, read on.

First reason is simply basic, a no brainer, IMITATE Technique. Holy Crap, you can pick up a world of technique by watching the movement of body parts, lips, hands, etc.. Yep, you can add probably 20 minutes to your BJ time on hubby just by following technique. Yep, you can learn to bring him up and down, up and down, and he'll love you all the more for it.. you may even get a Le Creuset pot or two outta the dealio. Second reason Porn movies remind me of the word Imitation is the way the porn people touch themselves. Imitate how they touch themselves.. Imitate the whole shebang,for crissakes, from the eyes, to the clothing, to the moans and the groans..I highly recommend the touching of oneself in front of your spousal unit, because after a couple seconds of that, he will just take over. And in a most aggressive amorous way..Yep, Yep he will. This is a really, really good tip.. if he isnt um in the mood, all you have to do is touch yourself, and he's there STANDING at attention. TRUST ME. The men drool at the touching of oneself.. take it from me.. I mean the porn stars..BTW, you may enjoy it also..

Last reason Imitate reminds me of porn flicks would be the role playing idea.. Imitate others ... become others, this is my favorite, so many avenues to explore here people, Possibilities are endless.. OM F^&*() god, I LOVE to role play!! You can be anyone, do anything, do anyone, and do everyone.. I've tried and enjoyed, possibly repeated, the following.. Repairman and housewife, consruction worker and woman who brings THEM lemonade, doctor and patient, Fred and Wilma,

Batman and Wonder Woman,

UPS man and woman answering door in towel, Adam and Eve, woman trapped in all girl prison.. hey where'd that come from--, pirate and captive, personal trainer and person who needs to be stretched, Marine on leave and bartramp,scuba diver and ocean, cowgirl and a cowboywith lassos.. um sooo..a favorite, you get the idea.. Oh Wait, just let me tell you all about my favorite role play scene.. maybe I better not, Ill just tell you what its about, Urban Cowboy movie scene

with the mechanical Bull,

you use your imagination how that one goes.

In Conclusion, yes the word imitate reminds me of the porn flicks.. I admit it..I LOVE role-playing , love touching myself , and really love extending my world record giving BJ time! The better the BJ the better the return.. the better the birthday gift;)..Oh, the wonders of performing the BJ, another day.. I promise, I just can't contain my darned dirty self.. Now on to you bloggers,

She has won prizes in national cooking/baking contests and her recipes are spot on !! Right on the money!! She has the best muffins imaginable on her blog.

What I like best about ther blog is the way she rates the recipes, 1-10, she is VERY honest in her ratings, so if she says 9 or 9.5 /10 I will be trying it at some point. She calls me naughty, but nice. Yep, Judy says Im naughty but nice.. Why am I naughty? I say out loud what most women think, why .. because I'm 40.. and because I love the number 69. I like being called naughty. It makes me fell minx-y.

You can LEARN a lot from this lady. A lot of cooking tips and baking things. If you want to learn some other kind of tips, please email me, Im a your girl. I tried her Devil's Food Chocolate Chip Muffins, such a winner here in our home!

Judy cooks much more healthy than I do, and she shares her substitutions, I make mine the original fat-laden way! Judy also informed me via way of comments that she never fakes her O's. I am so glad to know that, I do not like phonies. VISIT HER, SAY HI, if you don't,you dont know what youre missing!

Ingrid, OH MY INGRID, of 3 B's... Love her, just love her. Why? because she loves to play with wooden spoons.. she is one cu-well chick! She introduced me to the simplest bar cookie , like ever!!!

All ingredients go in one bowl, and in one pan and voila, instant dessert. She calls them Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Brownies. Aren't they gorgeous?

Look, one bowl, no mess, and delicious.

She offers a wide assortment of recipes on her blog, and again, she is brutally honest, if she doesnt like something, she will tell you. NOT everything is good with Ingrid.

So, you can trust her. Ingrid also has a fascination with my freaking wooden spoon. I want it back like NOW Ingrid, you had it long enough! You selfish thing!

Monica of Lick the Bowl Good does not have ONE thing on her blog I do not like. Not one!

Her pictures are unbelievable!! Just roll down her sidebars, you will be thrilled!

I mean good lord, everything from biscotti, hummingbird cakes, scones, breads, brownies, to milk punch and carrot cake oatmeal.. its all there.. And what a freaking great personality..She calls herself perv#3, Cheryl is perv #2, I keep wondering who perv#1 is?? Anyone who is a self-proclaimed perv is TOPS with me! I made her egg salad sandwich the other day, it sounded so simple, yet so delicious, and of course, it was..

My pictures do not do it justice.. go check out hers!!

Stephanie of Ice Cream Before Dinner had the most wonderful coffee cake muffins on her blog.

She adapted the muffin from a recipe from Bon Appetit, and it is bliss. Ratio of crumb to muffin is about 1/2 and I so LOVE that!

White Castle Burgers ala Hurley, MY BIL

White Castle Burgers AKA My BIL's Hurley Burgers

Hurley is my brother-in-law.

Hurley is known to comment on my blog on occassion as Scott aka vern. Hurley is the most charmingly obscene, frightfully obnoxious, wickedly funny, full of life character you will EVER have the pleasure of encountering. He is the kind of guy , that makes YOU let loose.. especially in Key West.. Just look what he did to FFH(firefighter husband) and me!

As you can tell by the clarity and focus of the picture, he was having just as much, if not more, fun than us!!

He speaks his own language. I call it Hurley-ism. He should have his own following with all his umm, philosophies and thoughts on life. Here are some of his favorite thoughts, doings, and sayings:

• SAYING..Let's shit and git (that means Let's Go)
• SAYING..I don't drink beer every day, only days that end in Y.
• He named the Bloody Mary, the Breakfast of Champions.
• SAYING..If it smells like fish, its a dish, if it smells like cologne, leave it alone.
• SAYING..I haven't had a solid shit since the day I got married, it is always now just a whoosh. He swears to God.
• When slightly buzzed, he will say "I'm polluted."
• On any given day his belly is called Good Groceries, or Good Living, as he holds it from the bottom and lifts it up and down.
• Hurley calls NO ONE by their name, everyone has a nickname, ingenious nicknames made up in his head. Want to know mine? He calls me Porn Queen ( really lovely), His wife is Queen Bee, my FFH is Vern, and it goes on.
• He eats his cheerios with beer, not milk, on camping trips.
• Made me a firm believer of the saying.. What happens in Key West, stays in Key West!
• And,One of my most favorite Hurley-isms is, Why fart and waste it, when you can burp and taste it?

I could go on, but I would have to start a Dianetics series. And I would want part of the profit, because HE would be a best-seller.

Hurley is an original, excellent cook. My FFH had the pleasure of being in Florida for 5 days and got to visit with his sister Sandy and her husband Hurley. Hurley made his famous White Castle Burgers.

When I lived in Yonkers, NY they were known as Murder Burgers. My FFH who lived in NJ all his life, always called them Rat Burgers. But Oh MY Good Lord in Heaven.. there is NOT one person who has tried a Hurley Burger and not liked it. There are raves about these White Castle-like burgers from everyone who has had them. He graciously let me have the recipe, and allowed my FFH to photo him only for the small price of a 2 cases of beer and 3 porno flicks! Kidding.. maybe..

Let us begin:

Gather your ingredients.

You must have the Bud Light to drink while making these according to the Hurlster. For the prep: Chop up a bunch of onions,

in a small dice. Set aside.

Put your meat --The meat must be 85% so the fat makes it good and greasy so it will just slide down your throat!-in a large bowl, and add a BLOB of peanut butter, yes he said BLOB, no measurement folks... Couldnt you just strangle him??

Then Add your soup mix,

Then add your milk .

Mix it all together with your hands!

Here is Sandy, Hurley's wife, mixing while he chops the onions.. Isn't she a cutie pie?

Beer break for Hurley..

Break the mixture into 2 and place on 2 ungreased baking pans.

Begin to roll out the meat with a rolling pin, then pat it with your hands, all the way to the edges.

Then roll it with the rolling pin again to smooth it out.

Put it in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. When the meat shrinks a lot, like this,

take it out of the oven and put the diced onions all around the edges to flavor the meat.

Place back in the oven for about 10 minutes..While all this is going on you must be multitasking with other aspects of the recipe. This meal would not be complete without deep fried onion rings and deep fried fries. He buys them frozen and deep fries them in oil.

Now, you also must set up your dinner rolls and your cheese.

Pay attetnion here it is tricky.. Take your roll, place the bottom part of the roll face-not bottom- down, top with the top of the roll right side up , getting them ready for the meat. And slice up your cheese.

OK now when you take out your meat and onions, scatter some raw onions on top of the meat, and top them with cheese if you'd like,

or not.. they did one tray with and one without. Place your buns directly on top of the cheese and raw onions, lined up together like so,

obviously, this is the tray without the cheese.. and put back on oven for another 10 minutes to warm the rolls, and melt the cheese a bit. Take them out and cut them with a pizza cutter along the lines of the buns. Pick them up one by one , flip them over, and top with the top. You will have a helluva lot of white castle Hurley burgers!

IMPORTANT HINT!! HURLEY says the best way to time the process is to have a beer between each cooking time step!!

Have your condiments ready.. ketchup, pickles, and mustard, dress as you like.

MUST be served with deep fried fries and deep onion rings as so!

Does that not look like a thing of beauty??

Hurley also advises that you can NOT have this meal without a Vanilla milkshake, so get yourself some Breyers vanilla,

some milk, and a dash of imitation vanilla, and blend it up. HAS to be served with the burgers for a mind blowing experience.

THANK YOU Hurley, Thank you Sandy for sharing.. I only wish I was there with you guys!!. But when I get there, I fully expect a 10 course meal outta you Big Guy!

Hear me Hurley,UMMM,Hurley, come in, Hurley! Please freakin wake up before I get there! Miss ya's! XXOO
