The struggle is real. I recently had to go back to the store, horrors, for pomegranate syrup.

What’s the latest craze sweeping the nation?
Is it televison dance contest with stars?
No.
Is it a television dance contest with ordinary men and women?
No. And that’s rather specieist of you.
It’s a dancing with turtles.
Specifically, Turtles That Tango.
Yep, that gets your heart pumping faster as you root for your favorite turtles to out tango the rest. Fill your adrenaline fix by watching it every week on ESPN8. You’ll never watch football or soccer again.

Most people’s initial reaction to the sign below would be that a man named Rip Fritzer wants you to contact him about selling his home. He tells you that you should call him because he has sold 3,000 homes.
I, however, read it as an obituary notice. I saw RIP not as Mr. Fritzer’s first name. Instead, I initially interpreted RIP as Rest In Peace. His realtor colleagues gave him the highest praise they could think of. I admit, it did seem strange to pick a bus stop bench as the best place to honor a colleague’s life. And why the phone number?
What would have been your first thought?

INGREDIENTS
10 ounces queso quesadilla jalapeno (queso = cheese)
½ cup Crema Mexicana (sour cream)
¼ cup grated Four Mexican cheeses
¼ cup water
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp cayenne
PREPARATION
(Wave your wand and ask that this home-cooked meal be magically cooked by the mythical tomtes of Sweden. Nothing will happen. There are no tumptes and if there were, they would be busy conjuring up Swedish dishes. So you’re on your own. Fortunately, this dish is easy. Are you? I’m too much of a gentleman to ask.)
Anyway, crumble the queso quesadilla jalapeno and put it in a soup pot. Add Crema Mexicana, Four Mexican Cheeses, water, cumin, and cayenne. As mentioned in other parts of this cookbook, you might not have the exact ingredient or don’t want to go to the store again. Again, substitute, substitute, substitute. For example, you can use plain sour cream instead of Crema Mexicana and a can of nacho cheese soup for queso quesadilla jalapeno.
Cook soup on medium-high heat until hot and thoroughly blended. This also makes a nice dip.
TIDBITS
1) This soup is named after the hometown of my grandmother. She married my grandfather who was a surveyor and a lieutenant with the engineers in World War I.
2) My grandfather and his fellow surveyors accidentally started a forest fire in northern Mexico. I would love to have heard the whole story on that one.
3) My grandmother’s grandfather was a doctor who came to Mexico from Missouri after the Civil War. He couldn’t cotton to the Union victory.
4) Her son, my father, and his friends from college went to Mexico during Spring break. Somehow mattresses in the back of their pickup truck caught on fire and kept catching on fire.
5) I went to Calexico with a friend of mine from grad school. An hour after we crossed back into the U.S., a candidate for the Presidency of Mexico was assassinated in Tijuana. I would like to stress I had been in Calexico, not Tijuana, and had been in America already for one hour.

And so do I. Don’t you want to pet it? And with a photo, there’s no fiercely protective, real life mama tiger around. So it’s all good.

Dave Cornelius always thought that the hymn “Up From The Grave He Arose” was about gravy. It does make the hymn sound ominous.
Thanks to Dave Cornelius for sharing this misheard hymn title.

Today’s Gruntjective Story:
“I just completed a chat with a tech support person. When they asked for the verification number they’d sent to confirm I’m me, apparently I responded exceptionally well. They responded: ‘Awesome’.”
– the great author Judy Reeves on Facebook(tm)
I commented:
“Maybe the support gets filled with awe whenever she hears an identification number. We should all endeavor to be like her. ‘Look, a glass!’ Be filled with awe. ‘Look, it’s full of water.’ Be filled with more awe. See, how happy you could become.”
My comments made it into this little blog. I’ve learned not to waste moments when my synapses fire.
