Most of the time the large featherless waitress brings pretty good dishes. But then there are other times. Sometimes she will put out a new dish and “pretend” she doesn’t want you to have it in hopes she can get you to try it. Ha. Clearly she has little experience with “Inspector Gourmand.” Author: ShannonContinueContinue reading “Day 172: Inspector Gourmand”

The Movie: “Cockatiel Eats Tasty Couscous Out of a Spoon” Plot Synopsis: While the tastiest items are good no matter how they are served, there is such a thing as “dining ambience.” For instance, say the featherless waitress who regularly serves you presents your portion of couscous on a shiny reflective silver spoon. Now you haveContinueContinue reading “The Movie: “Cockatiel Eats Tasty Couscous Out of a Spoon””

The other day, one of Pearl’s fans nominated him for the prestigious “Golden Waffle” award for “best acting.” After consulting with his large featherless assistant (who really wasn’t much help) Pearl decided there was no need to wait for the official announcement. Clearly he is the winner. Here are his official “Golden Waffle” PR photos….fan-ready!ContinueContinue reading “Day 171: The Golden Waffle”

Free climbing is of course a risky sport….which means your featherless assistant tends to worry whenContinueContinue reading “Day 168: Free Climbing”

Occasionally the large featherless waitress will serve your dinner to you in a clear plastic container instead of in her bowl or on her plate (which is the way you usually take it). These dinners tend to be especially prime and delicious….not to mention that a break from her brand of “cooking” is always welcome. Author:ContinueContinue reading “Day 167: Club Sandwich”

Sometimes the sight of your own (very pretty) reflection in your mirror makes you so happy you shriek with joy. For hours. Inexplicably, your large featherless assistant will often respond by attempting to hide the mirror from you. She gets jealous easily. Luckily, she is also not very good at hiding things, so it usually doesn’tContinueContinue reading “Day 166: Find the Mirror”

For true gourmands (with feathers) every day brings tasty new options. The best gourmands also know how to combine food with fun. Say, for instance, that the featherless waitress offers you a chunk of fresh apple. This offers what educators like to call a “teachable moment” where you can instruct her on how to haveContinueContinue reading “Day 165: Food and Fun”
