Ask and you shall receive.
It is my goal in life to make your dreams a reality.
Just ask Britt or Lucie. Weeks ago, they demanded I do something with my lone asparagus stalk. I heard their request, took note and moments later, a photo shoot went down because that’s what urban gardeners do, right? Don’t answer that.
I ate him too, even after he was all up in my grill. Oh the horror and yes kitchen hygiene went right out the window on this one.
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
On Monday, you guys asked for more blog posts containing my random ramblings and senseless mutterings, which I find absolutely fascinating. I also intend to deliver by sharing some purposeless factoids, in only a way I can. Alright fine, I’m sure there are others who can pass along weird little tidbits, but they’re probably working with a whole six pack and in my case, I drank half the package long ago. Do people even drink packages (raises eyebrow)?
Moving on to my mumblings, Out Loud of course, because we should always mutter to ourselves in ways which creep out our neighbors. Right? You probably shouldn’t answer that.
- Running is tough when you don’t do it regularly. Even more so when you haven’t done it in weeks (cough, feels like months, cough).
- The public park is not a good place to practice snot rockets. Not that I would know or anything.
- A normal person passes gas, on average, twenty to forty times a day. The Hubby gleaned this information from one of his pharmacy classes, which might just be worth the cost of tuition. I’m still not sure why he opted to share it with me. Hmm.

- Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth, which of course begs the question, do they have an entirely separate category for Almond Butter?
- Lions and tigers can’t purr. Neither can Oscar. While he may vibrate at times and he can be a kneading machine, he’s never uttered a solitary purr a day in his life. Therefore, he is a little lion trapped in a housecat’s body, ignoring the whole epic battle he had with his own reflection recently. He lost too; badly.
King of the Jungle.
- Coca-cola was originally green. I suspect they weren’t using kale or spinach either.
- Stove top hoods are a completely unnecessary kitchen appliance. Electrical codes, smodes. Pish, posh. I do not have a hood over my stove, and I haven’t in years. Shockingly, the world has not ended, nor has my kitchen gone up in flames, despite it’s frequent use. Even crazier, my walls and ceiling aren’t adorned with smokes stains or grease.
- Almonds are a member of the Peach Family. I don’t even know what to say about this. Consider my world rocked.
- Whenever something unusual happens (a car back fires, the neighborhood dogs go wild, an unusual gang of teenagers takes to the street), I make note of the time just in case the Po-Po show up at my door the next day, asking questions. I’m pretty sure I read too many crime novels as a child.
- The right bread is magic. Even more so when you turn it into French Toast.
When it comes to bread, you can never have too many pictures. Or can you? Hmm, best not to answer that.
Your turn. Tell me some random ramblings, odd factoids and strange tidbits.
I only knew that almonds are in the peach family line because I have allergies to both, including the rest of the fam – apples, pears, plums, cherries and sometimes walnuts.

Oh man, that’s awful for you. I’m sorry to hear about your allergies. 🙁
Meghan recently posted…Random Ramblings and Senseless Mutterings
wait.. you’re allergic to all those? and wait, what? almonds are the in peach family? You two have just baffled my whole day.. i’m in shock.
p.s.
nice Naked stove Meghan. 😉
Green coke?? Just when I thought that stuff couldn’t get scarier…blech! I am normally more of a pancake/waffle person over French toast but those photos are enough to sway me towards the French side…yum much?? I haven’t run in over a month…and part of me is scared of getting back into it and seeing how taxing it can be after time off!!
Since I don’t have an actual waffle maker, I gotta go French Toast by default. Plus, I assume the clean up is easier. 🙂
You’ll be fine. The first day was rough. I also took off like a bat out of hell so that was fun. The second day felt good. Hang in there and hop back on that horse.

I would buy the book if you would write one with your Random Ramblings and Senseless Mutterings. By far my favorite posts. And also the ones that inspire my writing mojo the most (is that possible? An inspiration for my writing mojo?Whatevs.)
I went on a roadtrip today with the CrossFit Chef’s Car. When I drove out the box, I was so nervous that I hit the horn by accident and at the same time the wiper went on by itself on the highest level (of course not on its own, but I didn’t realize I did it). The chef almost peed his pants. Blondie in his car. I think he got a little nervous too 🙂

I’m thrilled my random ramblings and senseless mutterings inspire you. We should work together more often. I will clean and cook and you can lift all my heavy things and open my pickle jars. Then after we’ve had several cocktails we will try Heather’s pickle vodka.
I always get a wee bit nervous driving someone else’s car when they’re actually in it.
Meghan recently posted…Random Ramblings and Senseless Mutterings
That sounds like a plan. Though I will need to get really drunk to drink that pickled vodka. Which is fine of course. And then we take a gazillion #vanillagorilla selfies and crash IG and Twitter with them. Oscar and the asparagus can be there too.

I can’t believe you bastardized that beautiful bread. But that’s okay, because yolks were involved so I forgive you- but please tell me you tried it firstly with a slab of butter?
I am actually off to check my walls…..I’m sure they are gray but they could be white…and stained gray. Fail Whale.
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…Single Serve Caramel Pecan Breakfast Cookies
Of course I tried it with a slab of butter first, plain and toasted. The French Toast came the next day and by the way, that’s melted butter all over the French toast making skillet. I also happened to drizzle a concoction of more melted butter and warmed maple syrup over the whole thing.
I shall accept your apology now. 😉

It has been so long since I’ve had french toast… looking at those pictures I’m thinking it’s been too long. Like everyone else I adore your random ramblings because I feel like we could be sitting down with a cup of coffee while I read them… or maybe some green coke.
Sarah Pie recently posted…Why dance parties can be good for your health
Never the green coke, but definitely on the coffee. 🙂

Ah yes, that bread does look amazing, especially toasted. Reminds me of something I saw being brought to another table at a restaurant this morning…. cinnamon swirl pancakes. I have to say they looked really good.
Mary @ Fit and Fed recently posted…Arugula Salad with Roasted Grapes, Goat Cheese, and Candied Hazelnuts
Cinnamon swirl pancakes sound especially good. I need to add that to my repertoire. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…♫ Because I’m Happy ♫
I laughed waaaaayyy too hard at the wolf in sheep’s clothing photo. HAHA I LOVE it. I also love this post, thank you for being random and making all my dreams a reality. I don’t know how I feel about peaches and almonds being one in the same, it’s too bizarre for my brain to handle. What my brain handles quite well however is the sight of that bread. Sweet Jesus I want to do bad things with that bread. I fart more than the average person, just sayin. I’m going to start counting to confirm this hypothesis.
Brittany recently posted…Early Morning Confessions
I start counting too. I lost track. Ha!!
I did amazing things to that bread. #lickslips.
Meghan recently posted…♫ Because I’m Happy ♫
Okay can we pause a second and just marvel at the perfection of Cinnamon Bread French Toast? Now add some butter and I am the one who’s melting!
You have a hilarious husband! If my husband was provided with that kind of information he would definitely share with me instantly as well. It’s most probably because they want us to know in case we get to be a quiz show candidate.

I did add butter. I melted some down with maple syrup and drizzled it over the entire thing. It was heaven sent.
Meghan recently posted…♫ Because I’m Happy ♫
I’m sorry, but I lost all of my coherent thought after I saw the pictures of that French toast… and I don’t even like French toast! But a cinnamon swirl French toast?! Come.to.MOMMA! And have I ever told you that random facts are my absolute favourite way to get to know someone better? It’s always interesting to see what people find important (or funny, interesting, etc.) enough to mention. I can’t help but wonder what people think of me when I spew out my own ToLs 😆
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. no-bake chocolate sunflower seed butter granola bars .
I’m pretty sure I lost all coherent thought when I bit into the French Toast. It’s all about the bread, baby!
I like your ToL. They make you fabulous.
Meghan recently posted…♫ Because I’m Happy ♫
The boy could confirm the fart fact just by being in a room with me for 20 mins (TMI?). Couples who have never farted in front of each other baffle me. Not that I do it intentionally but we would have to spend at least 60% of our relationship apart if I didn’t want him to hear me fart.
Also the almond thing? Mind blown.
Davida @ The Healthy Maven recently posted…Wild Rice Stuffed Portobellos
Almonds and peaches in the same family. It’s crazy talk. Who knew?
