Say Cheese!

I'm still at it ... the i365 project that is. Check it out here.

Bananerific Bread

Many moons ago, in an attempt to do something with over ripened bananas, I made some banana bread. It was delicious so I kept on baking. I've had rave reviews for my banana bread and even special requests for it from friends.

When the Clampetts came to visit the other weekend, I sent them home with a fresh baked loaf of my banana bread. Ma Clampett called to let me know I should quit my day job, the banana bread was amazing.

Then the light bulb went off! A Little Dash of Erica is now featuring a Taste of Erica where you can order your own loaf of my now famous banana bread. At this time I am only offering the Nutty Original and the Un-Nutty Original, but I have have plans to have more of a diverse menu of banana breads and even banana bread cupcakes.

Have a little dash of Erica, because life wouldn't TASTE the same without it.

My County 'Tis of Britain

I am proud to be an American and I will be celebrating our country's independence from Kingdom of Great Britain.

As our country evolved from thirteen colonies to fifty states so did our views, beliefs, cultures, and language. Americans invented the first flexible urethral catheter, a swivel chair, dental floss, safety pins, breast pumps, built the world's first plane, had the first people on the moon, and much more.

We are inventive and imaginative so you can rest easy on this all American holiday as you enjoy your corndogs, buffalo wings and smores and sing your all American songs such as Born in the U.S.A, America the Beautiful, Yankee Doodle and ...



Sound familiar?



This was actually national anthem until 1916. Hey, sometimes you need a little inspiration. Thanks for the tune Britain!

Wishing you all a Happy Indedpendence Day!

Behind Closed Shower Doors

Chad: What are you going to wear tonight?

Me: I don't know. I'm SO fat. Like, for real. Look at this. (I step on scale) I don't feel that fat. Look at me, I'm fat. This jello has some jiggle again. (I get in shower)

Chad: Argh.

Me: What? I can't hear you.

Chad: Argh.

Me: What? (I open shower door to hear him better)

Chad: Argh.

Me: Spell it.

Chad: A-R-G-H

Me: Arth?

Chad: A-R-G-H, Argh.

Me: Use it in a sentence.

Chad: Argggggggh.

Me: Argggg. Like a pirate? Argggg, me matey?

Chad: No, Argh, I'm so fat, Argh.

Me: Got it.

Snort, Hock and Spit (or Shoot)

When did spitting or blowing snot rockets in public become okay? I live with someone who often has sinus infections, post nasal drip and allergies that all bring on the constant Snort, Hock and Spit syndrome. He is kind enough to do it in private for the most part and discreet when disposing of it in public.

I can't seem to go anywhere without being witness to this gross habit. Not only do I see men doing it, I see women! Oh my gawd, what is wrong with these people? To make my skin crawl a little more, I often hear people sucking it back first. Vomit, seriously that it disgusting.

Although I do have more sympathy for those who suffer from having this boogerish phlegm stuck in the back of your throat but seriously, they sell stuff to help you. It's called a Neti Pot, antihistamines, decongestants and tissue. As for those who just spit to spit ... you aren't cool and you are just dehydrating yourself.

Maybe they should have a Loogie Conference every year for these habitual offenders. They should hold it in Alabama.

Belated Father's Day

Daddy and Me

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away. I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid. -Joanna Fuchs

My Mysterious Car in Apalachicola

Are we in Beefy Boy Town? Does the Owner or Driver of this vehicle have a beefy boy? Is the owner or driver of the car a beefy boy? Are they working for beefy boy? Are they a mobile testing vehicle for beefy boy? Did they know that beefy boy is a tomato?
