Cute Alert: Shrimp on a Treadmill (Now With Music!)

GiggleSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

You've heard of "shrimp on the barbie," why not shrimp on a treadmill? This video is extra-special, though, because although we've already posted it, it now has one of my fave soundtracks of all time: the theme from The Benny Hill show. As BoingBoing says, "Adding the Benny Hill theme to anything makes it funny." Agreed.

Would You Eat at McDonald's in Japan?

We all know what to expect from McDonald's: cheap, greasy, second-rate fare. While the McMenu in Japan maintains the same quality (or lack thereof), it adds a few "specialty" sandwich options to the line-up. Watch this dude examine and taste test two of the most popular items on the menu- the Filet O' Shrimp and the McPork. He proves he can stomach the greasy goodness, but could you?

Shrimp On A Treadmill

GiggleSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 09:47:23 -0700

You've heard of "shrimp on the barbie." Now, without further ado, we bring you, shrimp on a treadmill. You think you've seen it all in a job like mine, but after viewing this video, I can truly say I have seen it all. Who created a tiny aquatic treadmill? How did they teach the shrimp to use it? WHY DID SOMEONE DO THIS?

A Perfect Summer Meal: Is Anybody Else Sick Of BBQ's?

DearSugar — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 18:07:24 -0700

Dear Sugar
I am getting a little bit tired of BBQing and it's only August. Do you have any ideas for a great, summer dinner for me and my boyfriend? Trying To Vary Carrie

Dear Trying To Vary Carrie
I am right there with you. If I don't see another rib, burger, hot dog or apple sausage for the next year, it would be ok with me. Summer food can be nice and easy since most things are farm fresh and in season. Here's a wonderful, healthy and delicious meal for you. Bon Appetit

APPETIZER: CHICKPEA, ROASTED TOMOATO & FETA SALAD
Pour olive oil and salt onto a baking sheet and coat about 10-15 cherry tomatoes. Place tomatoes into the oven at 400 degrees for an hour to an hour and a half (ovens may vary in time). While they are finished roasting, add the following ingredients in your salad bowl:

1/4 cup chick peas
1/4 cup feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
oregano - to taste
salt and pepper - to taste

DINNER: SKEWERED SESAME SHRIMP
24 large shrimp, peeled and de-veined shrimp
2 tbsp reduced sod soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
8 skewers

Thread 3 shrimp on each skewer. Combine the soy sauce and the vinegar in a shallow dish. Dip each skewer into the sauce mixture followed by the sesame seeds. Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink (about 3 minutes on each side). When cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate. Pour the sauce mixture into the hot pan and heat for about 15 seconds. Pour over the shrimp skewers and serve.

SIDE: GARLIC BREAD
1 tbsp butter or margarine
3 - 4 cloves of finely chopped fresh garlic.
1 dash salt

Melt butter in a small saucepan and sautee the garlic until golden brown. Very lightly toast the french bread baguette which you have cut into about 6-8 diagonal slices (depending on the length). Once the bread is toasted and the garlic is browned, dip the bread into the butter and garlic mix and put it back into the toaster for one more light cycle.

DESSERT: BERRIES AND ICE CREAM
15 strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/4 cup blackberries
1 cup vanilla Haagen Dazs
2 tbsp honey

Wash all of the berries. Cut the strawberries into quarters and place all of the fruit into a big bowl. Gently mix in the honey and place in the fridge for at least 30 min. When you are ready to serve dessert, scoop the ice cream into 2 pretty individual dessert dishes and top with the berry mixture.

Sad!

You kids don't know disappointment! Imagine if you will, an excited 5-year-old who thinks she's gonna grow an entire sea monkey colony of her very own! And what does she get instead? Brine shrimp. Near-microscopic lumpules of thingymajigs floating around dirty water. (Sorry, I had to share.)

Twin Peeps

Remember Sea Monkeys? How perverse was this child's "toy"? You added water, and the next thing you knew, you had an entire family that responded to your stimuli, whether it was food or music. Turns out, of course, that Sea Monkeys were just brine shrimp. Why do I bring all this up? Because I was looking at a recent picture of the (nearly unrecognizable) Nikki Cox (Las Vegas), and wondered, who does she remind me of? Oh yeah. The Sea Monkey mom.

What, no shrimp?

Ewwwwwww!

I say that, but I bet I'd try this Japanese pizza with a mayonnaise and shrimp-filled crust. Then again, it's that time of the month.

Kitten Vs. Another Big Dog

GiggleSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:39:30 -0700

This kitten didn't get the memo about "letting sleeping dogs lie." He's ambushing this recumbent pooch front, back and sideways. The dog's all, "Whatevs, little shrimp." (This reminds me of another feisty kitten.)
