Happy Pantry: J is also for Juvenile Jalapeno

We all know that juvenile jalapenos are the most dangerous kind.  They don't know their own strength and release their spiciness all at once.

I'm pretty sure that works with the young of all dangerous things, not just snakes.  That's science.
Sketchy science, to be sure - but science none the less.

Happy Pantry: J is for Joyous Juicer

Why waste all that chewing time when you can DRINK your daily requirement of fruits and veggies!?!

Also - if people disliked eating fruits and vegetables so much, why hasn't anyone invented a better system of imbibing these horrid things?  Blending and juicing get us closer than we've ever been to it - but juicing is stupid because you're not filling your belly with the goods, just a lot of sugar and maybe a small portion of nourishment.  There should be a pill that you can chew on that tastes like something other than chalk....

Until then, we'll use our blenders the responsible way.  That's right, I started talking about juicing only to flip the script and whack you over the head with my blended drink goodness.  It's for your own good.

Sure he's a blender, but he moonlights as a juicer on the weekends...

Happy Pantry: I is for Introverted Ice Cream

I is for introverted Ice Cream - this is the 9th possible illustration for our almost alliterative alphabet book...if we were going to make a book, it just might be this one!

Poor little ice cream doesn't like to get out.  Mostly because he starts melting as soon as he leaves his freezing house...and people are always trying to eat him.

Happy Pantry: H is for Hot Tempered Hot Sauce

He's hot tempered because he tastes like Tabasco Sauce.

And we all know Tabasco Sauce tastes disgusting.  I'd be fired up too...

Remember how we said we were going to show up at WonderGround Gallery - because they asked us, not because we were in town and wanted to visit - well here are a couple more promos we made to get the word out!

Happy Pantry at Wonderground in Downtown Disney!

We're excited to announce that we've been asked to showcase Happy Pantry at the WonderGround Gallery in Downtown Disney this next weekend!

January 9th and 10th you'll find Happy Pantry in Anaheim (in Downtown Disney) from 1-4.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2016.  It always strikes me as a fairly silly celebration - as the change in date only matters when one writes a check - and who's writing checks these days?  Other than that, it feels rather arbitrary - I mean, I guess it happens every 365 days or so (leap year kind of screws up that number), but nothing really changes.  At least with daylight savings time, you get an hour of light and dark depending on which direction you're looking....but with the change in year?  It's just a time to spend 4 times the amount to eat in a restaurant really really late.

Our tradition is that Tracey goes to bed by 10 and I try to stay up but usually start fading around 11:30 and I celebrate by closing my eyes at 11:45 and waking up in the new year.

So...Happy New Year...?
