We all ran back there like bats out of hell.....
EDDIE...the infamous Hump Brother, had let himself into Lollipop's cage.
He was about to give her some of that infamous Hump Brother love...or something like that!
Fortunately, I was able to grab Lollipop from Eddie's vice grip and she was unharmed. Eddie got his bottom popped and put outside. Then the girls got ANOTHER talking to about leaving their doors open and the guinea crates open. That situation ended a hell of a lot better than it could have. Eddie is seriously mad at his "Diddy" (Gary) since he was the one to pop his bottom and put him outside.
Paige came up to me later and told me that "Eddie isn't interested in Gilbert anymore. He wants Lollipop because she is female." I guess Lollipop is putting off some pretty strong pheromones and they've gotten Eddie's hormones raging. That could have gone either way last night....we could have had a fatality or the beginning of a guinea weenie hybrid mix right there in Crisp, Texas.
Prior to WeenieGate, we had a wonderful weekend. We got up early and drove to Wichita Falls to cook at the Relay for Life CCO. We had the BEST time and I placed 3rd! Hell Yeah!! I also placed in show. I have some show points besides what I got Saturday and I'm actually thinking if I can get qualified in show, I've got a damn good idea for show in Terlingua. Hhhhmm.....
Gary got 5th and Budda won. Champ Dozier was shut out :( That sucks!!!! We decided to day cook since the weather was supposed to be so bad. What a joke! It didn't do anything in North Texas. Oh well....I guess if we had taken our trailer, it would have been really bad and we would have been blown away. I slept in yesterday while Gary and Paige went to Zoe's soccer game. I mopped and cleaned around the house and then made a DELICIOUS pot of Cheeseburger Soup. Allow me to share:
Cadillac Cowgirl Cheeseburger Soup
1 lb lean Ground Beef
1 medium Onion, diced
16 oz Velveeta, cubed
8 oz Cheddar Cheese, cubed
1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
3 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Tbsp Butter
3/4 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Flour
2 Tbsp Mild Bill's Budda Burger Seasoning, divided
1 Cup Lettuce, shredded
3 Roma Tomatoes, chopped
In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt the butter and add the chopped onion. Saute on medium heat for about five minutes; add the lean ground beef and 1 Tbsp of the Budda Burger seasoning. Brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and the onion is tender; drain and set aside. Using the water and flour, make a thickener for the soup. To the pot, add the chicken broth and bring to a slow boil over medium high heat; once boiling, add the flour and water mixture. Whisk it in and as it begins to thicken, turn the heat to medium low and add the milk and cheese. Continue to whisk the mixture over medium low heat until the cheese is melted through. Add the ground beef and onion back to the cheese mixture as well as the remaining tablespoon of Budda Burger seasoning. Mix well, turn to low and cover. Cook for another 20 minutes until heated through. Add the lettuce and tomato, stir to combine. Simmer on low for another 5 minutes and then it's ready to serve. This will go great with hot french bread (I used croissant rolls) that have been lightly buttered - you can dip them into the soup and it's like you've got a little cheeseburger heaven in front of you! Enjoy - it's really good - even Paige ate it....and took some to school today. That's a win!!!
Speaking of Paige.....
Me: Paige, do you have on clean undies?
Paige: Well, they're from yesterday.
There ya go folks, undies you put on Friday are still clean on Saturday. I guess you could look at it as a way to cut down on doing laundry every day :)
