For anyone unfamiliar with what’s about to happen, today is What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW), which loosely translates to “Show Me Your FOOD.” You thought I was going to say something else, didn’t ya. Dirty birdie, get your mind out of the gutter. Just because this is the hair band edition doesn’t mean it’s Girls Gone Wild. As always, thank you to the fabulously funny Jenn over at Peas and Crayons for hosting this crazy weekly shindig. Check her out, and not in a Girls Gone Wild way.
What I’m about to show you is my Saturday eats, and I might toss in a few extras because I’ve been holding out on you. Forgive me, especially since I don’t have a really good reason, other than I’ve been busy talking about other things (um 115 lbs, yeah there’s that).
I think it’s time to bust it out, hair band style, and if you don’t know what I mean by “hair band,” then you’re too young, and this post might get explicit. If you do know, then by all means shout it out, and feel free to use your spatula as a microphone (I certainly do). And if this song makes you want to throw your foot up on a chair and toss your hair around, then do it. I won’t tell anyone.
Remember the luscious cantaloupe and the naughty blackberries we got in the CSA last week….
Step inside, walk this way
You and me babe, Hey, hey!
Love is like a bomb, baby, c’mon get it on
Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone.
Lookin’ like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light.
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah
Hey! C’mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up.
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C’mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can’t get enough
I’m hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah
How about the big juicy watermelon, the pretty little heirloom tomatoes, the patty pan squash, the green bell pepper or the golden onion (there’s a dirty joke there somewhere). You remember those little gems. Yeah, they were tasty.
Listen! red light, yellow light, green-a-light go!
Crazy little woman in a one man show
Mirror queen, mannequin, rhythm of love
Sweet dream, saccharine, loosen up
You gotta squeeze a little, squeeze a little
Tease a little more
Easy operator come a knockin’ on my door
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah, yeah
Give a little more
Take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C’mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can’t get enough
I’m hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah.
In honor of hair bands everywhere (or just the eighties), I had to end it with a little yolk porn. Feel free to rock on with your bad self. Me; I’ve been jamming this whole time.

August 15, 2012 at 4:10 AMI just want you to know, I totally busted out the air-guitar for this! LAAAAA-UV that song…how can you not want to get up and shake yo booty to THAT! And I have to say…I just googled Joe Elliott and he has only gotten better with age! 😀
The pancakes…with the lyrics…it felt so bad…but so good…I may or may not have looked around to see if anyone could see me drooling! 😉
Meghan says
August 15, 2012 at 6:20 AMIt’s a classic. I was rocking the whole time, and the Hubby kept laughing at me.
I love incorporating my two loves: food and music. They go together like exercise and music. Well pretty much anything and music.
Antonia @ Health Inspirations says

August 16, 2012 at 1:15 AMThis may just be my FAVORITE WIAW post EVER! Loved it.. and of course all your meals look delicious too btw. ((I almost don’t want to leave your page just so I can listen to this song all day long & I may or may not be up & dancing?? :)))
Meghan says
August 16, 2012 at 6:16 AMThank you so much Jessie! It means a lot to me that people really seemed to enjoy it. I love food and music so what better way to express it. Who knows what’ll I do next week. I’m not sure it can get better than Pour Some Sugar On Me.
Pretty soon, you will be rocking out in your gorgeous new kitchen with all the wide open glorious counter space.
