These Guys and the Holy Meal

A Quote From one of These Guys’ favorite movie:

MP HG

ARTHUR:  A duck.

CROWD:  Oooh.

BEDEMIR:  Exactly!  So, logically…,

VILLAGER #1:  If… she.. weighs the same as a duck, she’s made of wood.

BEDEMIR:  And therefore–?

“Delicious”, said This Guy.

duck

Whether it is roasted, toasted, grilled, chilled, or basted This Guy will taste it. Duck is one of the 7 known Food Wonders of the World and might be on the top of that lofty, delicious mountain. Chicken is amazing and turkey is fine, but duck is simply divine anytime.

Why have a bird with white meat, when you can have dark meat throughout?

Yes, the perfect meal does indeed have to include duck, the most succulent of the Aves.

As I go to sleep tonight, this will be playing in my head:

Sweet Dreams,

These Guys have established that food is better when it is stuffed-and spicy! With bellies a rumblin’ they grabbed some chicken quarters and deboned the meat in order to make way for a tantalizing spicy mushroom and scallion stuffing.

Breakfast with that guy- breakfast tortillas

So that guy was feeling kinda hungry this morning and decided to whip up something delicious. These are some tortillas filled with scrambled eggs. I decided to throw in some chives and garlic. I also, usually, toss in some home fries as well (or pan fried potatoes. Can’t go wrong with potatoes). The eggs were rolled with mozzarella/cheddar cheese mix and grilled on a panini press until it was screaming deliciousness.

Seriously, I already ate them in half the time to took to write this.

That guy out.
