We need to do something to fill a certain fuzzy fluffy two-eared void. A void that can only be filled by gently and lovingly demanding that the hamsters follow the RULES!!!

I always felt a certain kinship with Bunny. Let's be sure we enjoy the hamsters the way they should be enjoyed!

We're going to miss you Bunny!!

Here are Bunny's rules. So you've been chosen for the cast of BB eh? Well, there are rules (the ones from CBS) and then there are RULES (the ones from Bunny). I'll leave it up to you to decide which ones are more important to follow. (Hint: Mine.) Anyway, here they are, so start taking notes.

Rule No. 1: Wow us. If you're boring, Bunny will call attention to your total lack of entertainment value. Show us "wild." Show us "crazy." Show us private parts coated in peanut butter.

Rule No. 2: Wear something metallic or frothy, or make sure we never see you without your antenna or magic cape. We don't care if you're comfortable. We want clothing that we're willing to bid on when it hits Ebay.

Rule No. 3: No more nose-pickers. It's been done. Twice. My joke collection has been exhausted. If you insist on picking something, make it your butt.

Rule No. 4: Dance for us. Any kind of dancing will do (I'm partial to the Bunny Hop) but you need to look funny when you do it.

Rule No. 5: Get drunk. This is even better than dancing. The all time best entertainment is dancing WHILE drunk.

Rule No. 6: Don't talk to the camera. You can moon it, but don't talk to it.

Rule No. 7: Tell Bunny how much you love her. Leave her a carrot on the bed, or fashion her likeness out of a wash rag like they do on cruise ships. Better yet, write her a song. "Bunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain...."

Rule No. 8 : When you start to get homesick or lose a challenge or get put on a solid peanut butter diet, be a cry baby about it. We love that. The more snot, the better.

Rule No. 9: Get rid of any animals provided by BB. We don't like watching them, and we don't like watching you WITH them. It makes you compassionate, and that's not good TV. We want you to be the guy who tosses them over the fence.

Rule No. 10: If you are the resident handsome hunk, leave your shirts at home. Also, please schedule your showers for, say, noonish, when Bunny is sitting in front of her computer having lunch.

Rule No. 11: Tell your family to send fan mail to Bunny. Maybe it won't help you escape criticism entirely, but she's less inclined to tell the world about your bed-wetting problem if your mama is a pen pal. At the least, she may be able to get some insight as to which one of your family members is benefiting the most from having you locked up for three months.

Rule No. 12: Whatever you do, don't forget that Bunny is watching. Keep her entertained and happy. She's paying for 24-hour Live Feeds, you know, and that means you're going to have a lot of reimbursing to do if she doesn't get her money's worth.

Rule No. 13: Share your winnings with Bunny. It's in your contract. I promise.

Re Rule #9
I disagree, my favourite episode of all time was season one where the houseguests had to find Chiquita among a whole yard full of pugs.

I've discovered the joys of Ball Park individual hot dogs. Thirty seconds in the microwave and done.

A bowl of bagged salad and a Banquet dinner rocks on BB nights! Other times I am a mighty picky gourmet diner!

GLORIFIED RICE:

1 CUP COOKED RICE
20 OZ. CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE DRAINED
1/2 CUP DRAINED MARASCHINO CHERRIES

For this recipe, you can eat it in a bowl - and put it in the crock pot in the morning, so the only thing you have to do during BB, is scoop and eat!

In crockpot, mix 2 cans drained corn and 1 can drained & rinsed black beans and 1/2 C salsa. On top, place 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Top w/another 1 1/2 C salsa. Cook on low 6-8 hours. If you want, you can top it w/cilantro and a lime wedge - depends on how much "repeat" goes on at the beginning of the episode. :-)

If you like spicy, use spicy salsa. Easiest, quickest dinner in the world!

Just a tip I use everyday almost. There are very,very many things you can make in the morning,while it is still cool out and before the house guests are awake that you can prepare and cook,and then just place in the crock pot on warm.
I make:

Hamburgers and fries-(cook burgers and fries,place a sheet of foil between and cover and put on warm) Have toppings sliced and ready in sandwich bags.

Spaghetti-(prepare meat or marinara sauce,stir in cooked noodles,place in crock on warm) french bread and bagged salad round out the meal

Fried chicken breast-(cook as normal,place in crock on you guessed it,warm) bagged salad and micro steam veggies

Hot dogs.Here is a big hit here,place desired amount of dogs in crock on LOW,and they will taste like the good steamed kind you get at ballgames.

I have much more,and if you want to PM me or add me on myspace I will email you whatever you want.I love to cook,even more than I love BB,but its a close call.

Hope you all have had a great 4th!!


Is it Thursday yet?!?!?

These all look good! This is a very easy recipe.. It will be ready to eat when BB starts that night..

Pulled Pork -in the crock pot

1 large pork roast
several cups of water
Salt and whatever seasonings you want
1 jar of your favorite bbq sauce

In a large crockpot place the pork and enough water to cover the pork. (about an inch from the top of the pot)
Cover and cook all day. (Start on high and then turn down)
When the pork is tender and falls apart, take a fork and shred it. Drain off the remaining water. Then, pour the entire contents of sauce into the pot and stir. You can add whatever seasoning you like to this dish.
Serve on buns.

Ok here's my crock pot Italian Beef.

Put chuck roast in crock pot, with some cut up onions, garlic salt, cover with water. Let cook on high all day until beef tears apart with a fork. Shred it all up, then add 2 pkgs of dry Italian Seasoning. Serve on buns.

another option is to teach the kids to do it themselves:

TATER TOT CASSEROLE
ground beef
tater tots
1 can cream of celery soup (or you can use cream of mushroom)
diced onion (if you like onion)
salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375.
Brown the ground beef & onion together.
Drain off the fat.
Spray a casserole dish with Pam.
Place browned meat into casserole dish.
Spread the cream of celery soup over the meat.
Place frozen tater tots on the top layer.
Bake at 375 for about 50 minutes.


Pigs in a blanket (low fat beef hotdog wrapped in Pillsbury cresent rolls, bake at 375 or so until brown) with tater tots or baked beans

It's a good thing my husband does most of the cooking. I'd starve during BB.
