Remember cassette tapes?

The joy of winding up loose tape with pencils. Getting them stuck in the tape deck in your car and having to listen to some mix tape an ex gave you for six months until you pried it out with a butter knife. Hitting ‘record’ on your stereo and pirating music off the radio. Man, those were the days. An MP3 doesn’t get messed up when you leave it in the sun too long!

Anyway … we posted the question “What was your first cassette tape?” here at All Terrain HQ. Here are the some of the results:

Huey Lewis & The News “Sports”
Cheap Trick “Live at Budokan”
Lisa Loeb “Stay”
Ace of Bass “All That She Wants”
REO Speedwagon “Hi Infidelity”
Metallica “Kill ‘Em All”
Bangles “Different Light”
Desiree “You Gotta Be”
Billy Joel “Piano Man”
Journey “Escape”
Def Leppard “Hysteria”
Yes “Fragile”

What was yours?

Say Cheese!

Looking for a quick appetizer for your Thanksgiving guests to munch on, especially if dinner is running a little behind? A cheese and cracker platter is an easy solution, and here’s a recipe for chocolate mice to add some a little fun to the dish.

Chocolate mice recipe:

1 package of almond bark chocolate

1 small package of shaved almonds

2 jars of maraschino cherries with STEMS ON

1 small tube of red gel icing

1 package of Herseys kisses

Take off the wrappers of 20-30 kisses for the head. Set aside 40-60 shaved almonds for the ears. Heat up half of the package almond bark chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted and ready to dip, take the cherry and dip. Place on wax paper while connecting the hersey kiss. Your partner in crime will have to take 2 almond slices and stick them in between the head and body. Wait about 10 seconds to let set. The whole batch can be made in 20 minutes. Once hardened dot the red gel for the eyes.

Wa-la, you have chocolate mice for that ever popular cheese platter!

Stephen Colbert vs. Miracle Whip

Stephen Colbert has a problem with those commercials with hipsters for Miracle Whip:

Don’t be so mayo? As Americans, we hold mayo near and dear to our hearts, because that’s where it tends to clot. This smear campaign has miracle whipped me into a frenzy. Well I’ve had it with these mayo nay-sayers. Tonight I’m going to prove once and for all that mayo is the illest condiment in the hiz-ouse. Let’s pop open a jar of miracle whip-ass.

Colbert aired his own commercial for mayonnaise that’s a bit more”realistic” in which the hipsters Twitter, do bong hits out of refashioned mayonnaise jars, and do upside-down keg stands of mayo: “When life give you mayo, make mayo-hem.”
