Mmmmm… Casey’s Pizza

005

I had some delicious Casey’s Pizza for dinner.

007

It’s better than Domino’s and waaaay better than Pizza Hut. I like to get cheese pizza because I feel that meat toppings detract from the cheesy goodness. (Especially the Casey’s cheesy goodness.)

The crust has a nice homemade classic taste. It’s  not too thin but not not too thick either. They’re generous with the cheese, and if you happen to like other toppings, those are pretty good too.

Casey’s is a Midwest chain of convenience stores headquartered in Ankeny, Iowa. If you happen to be lucky enough to live near one of their locations, I suggest you give their pizza a try. They don’t deliver though, so you’ll have to go pick it up.

Mr Nethead Builds A Sandwich

I arrived home from a long day of work just a short time ago. Feeling hungry, I decided it would be in my best interest to build a delicious sandwich. I started with two slices of bread.

My favourite bread is Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat with Honey. Luckily, that’s the very bread I had on hand.

No that’s not mustard. I hate mustard. That’s genuine old fashioned Wisconsin cheese spread. Mmmm. I slathered some on both slices of bread. Then it was time to add meat.

Hillshire Farms Honey Roasted Turkey is my favourite sandwich meat ever! I also decided to throw on some Hormel turkey pepperonis. (I know, I know, that’s a lot of turkey.)

Here we see that the sandwich is nearly complete. Now all we need to do is put both sides together.

Ta da! It’s a delicious sandwich indeed. *eats sandwich* For best results, enjoy with an ice cold Sunkist Lemonade.

Restaurant Ideas

grilled_cheese_sandwich

My friend Kevin and I have often talked about starting a grilled cheese restaurant. There are hundreds if not thousands of different ways you could make a grilled cheese. Customers could select a specific type of bread and various different cheese combos. I think a restaurant like this would be particularly well-suited for airports. After all, I’m sure many people would love to grab a nice grilled cheese with a cup of tomato soup before catching a flight.

Another idea is a restaurant I would call The Kids’ Menu. It would feature all the usual things you’d find on a kids’ menu except in adult-sized portions. There’d be the usual favorites such as chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hot dogs and more. Sides could include goldfish crackers, windmill cookies, and applesauce. Unfortunately, I sort of doubt a restaurant like this would be successful unless we managed to find a place with a huge population of picky eaters such as myself. Heh.

And another more off the wall idea that I came up with just recently is a restaurant featuring bagel entrees. There could be bagel sandwiches, bagel pizza and so on. I thought of this one night right after I made a delicious cheesy pepperoni bagel. It was really really good.

Fun With Keyboards

If you’ve ever uttered the phrase, “Oops, I spilled cheese on my keyboard”, you might be a nethead from Wisconsin. Luckily my keyboard seems to be okay.

Cleaning a keyboard can be a scary endeavor. You just never quite know what you might find under there. But based on past experience, I’m guessing you’ll find hair, dust, crumbs, and weird mystery objects that seem to defy the natural order of things by somehow fitting under your keys.

Of course, if you’re going to pop the keys off your keyboard, make sure you’ll be able to get them back on. Generally speaking, you should only remove the letters, numbers and punctuation keys. The spacebar, shift keys, backspace and so on never go back on quite right so you’ll probably want to avoid taking them off.

Putting the keys back on in the proper order is sorta like putting together a puzzle. It’s especially fun if you try to do it from memory.

There we go! It’s as good as new! (Be sure to click on this picture to enlarge it.)
