Fried Vienna Sausages

This is what the Snack King had for a snack the other night:

Eggs with Vienna sausages coated in cracker crumbs and fried. The coating of the Vienna sausages in cracker crumbs was a bit excessive, I felt.

Yum . . .

Wonder Toast

This is how the Wonder Boy does toast.


It makes his breath as wonderful as he is.

Happiness . . .

I just got a 729 CD shelf. It makes me happy.

But it looks so empty . . .

This is shelf #1.
Right now, I'm storing some of the musicals and more "girly" movies that the guys just don't have the guts to watch. If you click the picture, it will get bigger and you can read the names and titles of what I have on my happy, happy CD shelf.

This is shelf #2.
See Oklahoma? Don't mention that to Lori unless you want her to burst into song.

Shelf # 3.
Even with a few books on it, my CD shelf still looks empty.

Shelf # 4.
Here are all my new CDs. I still have two left to listen to (never mind about that- I just listened to them!). It is happiness. I got "Living Room" by Paris Combo, a CD of Gypsy music by Kalyi Jag, two more CD's from Chava Alberstein, Huayno Music from Peru II, The Rough Guide to Portugal and Vietnam, and more.

Shelf #5.
Here are my CD's from China, my first Chava Alberstein CD, and two others. I need to put Amalia in the Fado section.

Here's the other part of shelf # 5. It's my collection of music from India, and Bulgarian female vocal music that I got for $5.98 at Half-Price Books (I love that store). I have nothing else like it. I think I like Bulgarian music.

This is shelf # 6.
Here is mine (and Lori's) collection of Te Vaka. Lori really likes Te Vaka. Then I have my Huayno music from Peru, and the very happy Music of the Twsana people along with others.

Shelf #7
Here is my collection of Far East music. There are many beloved CD's pictured here.

Shelf #8
On the left is my collection of Fado, the lone Rough Guide to Italy, and a compilation of music from Mediterranean countries. On the right side is my Gypsy music, my wonderful, happy Gypsy music. There is one Cd of Russian music, but it has a few Russian Gypsy songs on it.

Shelf #9 contains miscellaneous Cd's. See Kokopelli's Cafe? I found it in some old music of my Dad's. I believe it was bought for track number 5, "Night of the Chupacabra"

This is shelf #11.
Here is all my Greek music. I like Greek music.

#12
Here is all my Mongolian, Tuvan, Tibetan, and Central Asian music. I feel I need more. They tell me I need more, too. Can't you hear them?

Shelf #13
Here is my Celtic collection, one Swedish Cd, and one Norwegian CD. I really like Clannad's "Celtic Voice"

Here is shelf #14. Woot Monkey, Protector of the CD's, resides here. If you don't mess with Woot Monkey, he won't mess with you. You have been warned.

Here are some of my classical Cd's, and my Dvorák collection on shelf #22. My family should have known, and should not have been surprised at my great love of Gypsy music.

On shelf #26 (!), I have the Christmas music. Things look pretty much normal, until you see "Nomad Christmas"
