The Chicken Skin Sandwich

I haven't posted anything for a while since my flurry of activity a couple of weeks ago, and I am blaming Sky. I started this blog with the knowledge in my heart that I was having my Sky and broadband installed the following week, thus enabling me to post from the comfort of the prone position, in front of an episode of Man V Food, at home. But alas and alack, t'was not to be, and the bastarding Sky man never turned up. What really infuriates me is that we had a SIX HOUR window during which he could just turn up, so we had to cancel plans in order to sit gormlessly looking out the window and awaiting the knight on his white horse, or rather the fat bloke in his white van. Two weeks on and we are still no closer to actually being able to watch Boardwalk Empire which is basically the whole reason we are getting Sky anyway, apart from the fact I can record as many episodes of Teen Mom and My Super Sweet Sixteen as I like so I can watch them in secret whenever Chris isn't in.

So that's my excuse for not having written anything, I haven't given up, in fact I have a whole library of pictures of us chowing down on DoubleDowns and deep throating Salty Dogs that I am looking forward to disgusting you all with. (I love how when I write 'you all' I know I am writing to approx. 10 people. You've got to start somewhere though, eh.)

In the meantime I'd like to introduce you to one of my favourite websites. This website has got me through some hard times, when I faced redundancy this is where I turned, throughout prolonged illness I knew a URL straight to happiness. Ladies and Gents - www.thisiswhyyourefat.com. 

The most incredible single-subject blog out there, This Is Why You're Fat, with the tagline 'Where dreams become heart attacks', is a library of the most insane culinary creations out there, mainly in the USA (obviously). Hours have been spent poring over 'The Meat Ship', whihc does what it says on the tin. 'The Pork Orgy' is particularly great. And i've been known to actually get turned on by the genius 'Banshi Rolls'- Burger, pANcake, and suSHI rolls: cheeseburger sushi deepfried in pancake batter, with burger meat, deli style american cheese, red onion, and chipotle mayo. I need a lay down.

Before I get back to work, I will leave you with this parting gift - the fried skin sandwich. Feel free to print it out and laminate it. Enjoy.
