Mother's Day weekend has started very well. I had a Friday night sleepover at my girlfriend's house. Just me and Michelle in our
PJs, with George
Clooney (an older movie,
Out of Sight). Then we were joined by our friends; pizza, wine, homemade nachos, and chocolate cake. All of us together having a good time. It was a good old fashion sleepover. What could be better? And as the evening wore on, and we each lay sprawled on a couch (she has two couches so we each got to lay on one). We found ourselves watching old sitcom re-runs. How could we ever have though Monica and Rachael's hair was cool in the early shows?
And then...towards 1:00am came the highlight of the evening...something I have never seen before...Mick and Mimi and their fabulous, cheesy 15 minute party with the
Bullet-express. This is the greatest
infomercial ever. Done in a sit-com style with a host of strange (over-acted) characters, we remained entranced for over an hour, not quite believing what we were seeing. We even watched the follow up
infomercials. There's dinner,where Mick and Mimi have their family over and
bore wow them with their dazzling chopping, shredding, blending, juicing appliances. They proceed to make really bland food (but very well chopped and fast) with tons of grated cheese. Here's their recipe for meatloaf...."Ground Turkey, onion, some rosemary...and ketchup and sugar on top. Imagine the flavour! The whole meals is made in
less that 8 minutes.
And that 's not all! In the
magic bullet ad they make breakfast for their hungover friends; including,
Berman the hungover fat, bald guy, Hazel (the weathered old hag with the fake cigarette), and a couple of newlyweds. It begs the question, why are all these strange people at Mick and Mimi's house first thing in the morning? Are they swingers? Anyway, they go on to make all kinds of goo as well as frozen drinks and it only takes 3 seconds! Fantastic! I really want a magic bullet. I even asked for one for Mother's Day (though I think Mark draws the line at getting me some form of blender as a gift...good man!). But think of all the "frozen beverages" I could make....strawberry daiquiri, pina colada, margarita, bellini, bushwacker and all in only 1, 2......(long pause)......3 seconds. Fantastic! Onwards to Mother's Day! Do like Hazel...I'm not sure what I mean by that. But I do look eerily similar to her (without the fag) first thing in the morning...
