Gotta Love The BBQ!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a BBQ edition of The Oz Files. Summer time is just around the corner and one of the great American traditions is about to happen all across this great nation. What is this great tradition? It's BBQ a little BBQ never hurt anyone and I will be talking about some great BBQ delights. What are my favorite BBQ treats? What are my least favorite BBQ treats? What's good to drink at a BBQ? What sort of activities do I enjoy at a good ole fashion BBQ? Finally what are my thoughts on BBQ sauce? BBQ is huge down in the south and from what I hear they do a damn good job at the BBQ prowess. I think what they do down south is the BBQ ribs with smothering of BBQ sauce and probably lots of chicken and beer. What are Oz's favorite BBQ tasty treats? My all time favorite BBQ food is a nice double cheeseburger with all the fixings minus the tomato. The taste of a BBQ hamburger is something to savor I think it's what they call BBQ divinity. I also like BBQ hot dogs wow those are sooo goood and very juicy. Just put some mustard, relish and onions and hold the ketchup and sauerkraut. I really enjoy the solid chips that are always showing up at BBQ. What are some BBQ treats I do not like as much? Well BBQ chicken isn't on the top of the list but if it's on a plate I'll eat it and I'll devour. It's pretty good but it can't beat the above tasty treats. Without a doubt the most hated loathed BBQ food is potato salad. Yuck that stuff makes me yack so my family tries to tease me with the potato salad yuck yuck and yuck! While your eating at the BBQ I think you may grow thirsty. I tend to enjoy the kooloaid and lemonade at a BBQ. Some people like beer and other drinks but you can't go wrong with lemonade and koolaid! A good BBQ has some fun activities and I will share my favorite activities. I really enjoy playing volleyball at a nice BBQ when I play the volleyball at a BBQ the competitive juices get flowing ya dig! I also love hitting the birdie around in a circle with badminton racquet's that's always a good time at my aunts house! Played in the rain for several hours at the Easter BBQ party wow that was such an epic time! What are my thoughts of BBQ sauce. It's simple I don't like it and I don't care for it which is the same thing. I think the taste of BBQ sauce is foul but many people love it more power to ya! I do have a story to tell about a BBQ years ago in good ole Rockford Washington USA. We were having a BBQ and I go make my hamburger and get everything on the bun. I go sit down and look down at my pathetic plate and I realize I forgot to grab the most important part and that was the hamburger! Wow I really got razzed about that but that was a fun time in my life. What are your thoughts on BBQ? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

The answer is simple friends the one the only strawberry funnel cake. This isn't a debate this is the truth that Oz has sent down to this blog universe. A funnel cake powdered sugar, fresh strawberries, whip cream ohhhhhhhhh so tasty! I had two of them in the same day what a rush that was! Can there actually be a bad tasting food of the fair?

Save Room For Dessert!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a dessert edition of The Oz Files. So now it's time for round two of the The Oz Files food edition. So this blog will be talking about our favorite part of every meal dessert. Why is dessert so amazingly sweet? What is my favorite dessert of all time? Are there any desserts that I do not like and if so why? What is the best kind of dessert? Finally what is the best place for dessert in town? Ok, why is dessert so amazingly sweet? Well first of all dessert in general is a sweet treat so that's makes logical sense. Any type of dessert is good for the soul. We got pies, cakes, brownies, cupcakes, ice cream and so many more. The other reason why dessert is so sweet is that you can enjoy it then regret it later when you tip the scales. What is my favorite dessert? Well this is a very tough call but I'm gonna go with the carrot cake from Swinging Doors. The piece they gives you covers the plate and Oz once again demolishes and conquers. I love pie of all kinds and ice cream, cakes and brownies and all the American classics. Can there really be a dessert that Oz doesn't like? I think we have an answer, the answer is yes and I have to say that the dessert I most despise is apple pie. Um I like apples sometimes but having apples in pie is definitely not a good combination. The taste is foul and it's uncalled for and I don't think I have to stand for this. It might be un American but that's how I roll peeps! The best kinds of desserts is pie and cake enough said! The best place for desserts in town drum roll please... Red Robin or The Peacock Lounge at the Davenport Hotel. Mile high sundae cake whatever it's called is really really good at the Robin. The huge sundae at the Davenport is quite tasty yummmers! Well these are my thoughts on dessert what are your thoughts? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Seafood A Plenty!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a seafood edition of The Oz Files. So sorry that I wasn't able to do a blog last night because Leah has to work til 11:45 PM next 2 weeks and was sprung on me at 11:45 PM last night so yeeeeeeeeeah! So what we're going to do is two theme weeks and I'll do my own topics of these themes. So I'll be doing two blogs tonight. Tonight's topic is why is seafood so good? What is my favorite seafood dish? What is my least favorite? What is my favorite seafood establishment? Finally how do I rate seafood in the chain of command in food loving? So to answer the first question, why is seafood so good? I'd like to think that seafood is so delectable and delightful. The taste of many food of the sea is very juicy and full of meat. You can dip some food in some sauces which make the food that much better. I would also like to add seafood is so good because the food is caught in the oceans and fairly fresh. What is my favorite seafood dish? I know you are all on the edge of your seats for the answer to this mind blowing question. The answer without a doubt is shrimp. I'll eat any kind of shrimp you throw in front of me. I'll eat popcorn shrimp, breaded shrimp, coconut shrimp, shrimp cocktails whatever it is I'll demolish and conquer. I like other seafood but I L-O-V-E SHRIMP SHRIMP SHRIMP HIP HIP HURRAY HIP HIP HURRAY! Ok, my least favorite food of the sea without a shadow of a doubt has to be muscles. These are the worst tasting food of man freaking kind. Well let me rephrase peaches, rice, potato salad and tomatoes are at the top of the YUCK list! My favorite seafood establishment is Red Lobster I mean you can't go wrong. They have the best bread there and oh my goodness they got live crabs floating in a tank poor souls! On a side note the Scratch Restaurant across the street from the Fox Theatre in downtown Spokane is quite good. It's not strictly seafood it has a wide variety of food selections. The hot pot has sausage, peppers, huge scallops, huge SHRIMP and so much more it's just freaking amazing! Finally I would put seafood in the top 3 of my food genres. I'm an American so American food is at the 1 slit then I'd go with Chinese then seafood at the 3 slot. I love food and seafood is very very tasty. What do you guys think of seafood? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

The Farmer And The Dale!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a farming edition of The Oz Files. Tonight's blog is going to be about the art of farming. Leah says, Ok farms if you had a farm, what kind of farm would it be? What crops would you have? Would you have any animals? And last of all would you be a farmer that does most of the work or would you hire lots of workers? Howdy cowboys and cowgirls it's farmer Oz here giddy up! What kind of farm would I have? Hmm, I would have a dairy farm because I love milk and milk does a body good babe! The crops on the dairy farm would be hay, alfalfa and corn. These crops are fed to the cows to get healthy and milk produced for the masses. Yes I would have animals of course I'd have a lot of cows because you need them to sell to other farmers and also we need to make the milk. Finally to answer the last question would I do most of the work or would I hire farm hands? That's an easy one for me I'd hire farm hands actually I'd only hire one farm hand and her name is Leah Stafford. I think she would enjoy the squeezing of the utters very satisfying! Ha Ha um yeah so I hear she likes milk so she might as well do all the milk producing you never know she may put her mouth by the utter and drink it like from a sprinkler but it's from the cow itself hahaha! Well these are my thoughts on farming and yes I am not a country boy just a city boy talking about farming to the best of my God given abilities. Well what would you do on a farm and so forth? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

The Big 100!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a 100Th edition of The Oz Files. Folks today is a special day here at The Oz Files because today is the 100Th edition of The Oz Files. I'd like to thank all the peeps out there for supporting this great outlet of media networking. I hope you all have enjoyed the amazing blogs and hope that you keep enjoying them The Oz Files will be a stronghold for a very long time. People love it and you can't let down the peeps! As long as cell phones are around and text messaging is around The Oz Files will be gelling are you gelling? I am so gelling baby and if your not gelling you gotta get gelling. Ok so to the topic of the big blog topic for episode 100 is as follows. In honor of the 100Th blog our topic deals with the number 100. You wake up from a nap, and find you are exactly 100 years in the past! What would your initial reaction be? What would you find most interesting? What would you have problems living without? Since you will be stuck in the past for the remainder of your life, what career would you pursue? I actually just woke up from a deep sleep so this is quite ironic. I wake up I'm back in May 16, 1909 wow flashes of Back To The Future and the Delorian. Great Scotts! Oh wait where is Marty and DOC they aren't here it's just Oz trapped in 1909. My initial reaction is wow how did I get here and where is my cell phone? I am curious where will I be living and who are my friends and family? Yes my friends and family are also back in 1909 it was a huge epidemic. The thing I wold find most interesting about May 1909 would be the lack of development in the city. The old time fashion sense was something to be desired. The men with the old throw back ties and suits and big brimmed hats. The women with the long flowing dresses and bonnet hats and don't forget the fancy gloves good for any occasion. What would I have problems living without? The thing I would miss most would have to be the kick ass amazing G1 phone that does it all. Would I be stuck in 1909 without a cell phone? The answer is a resounding yes because there is a huge lack of technology. I'd also miss Gonzaga basketball wow it's been real and good luck to the Zags and also I would miss Sportscenter and WWE never miss any of those shows! Finally we move to the last part of this loaded 100Th edition of The Oz Files. What career would I pursue because I'll be stuck in the old days of 1909 and beyond. However the 2000's won't be seen again and that is a terrible thing to think of. I couldn't find a lot of jobs or careers from 1909 when googling. However I went through some google pics from 1909 and I have decided I'd like to be an old time baseball beat writer for one of the Major League Baseball teams. The old beat writer back in the day smoked cigars and wore nice suits and had those oh so EPIC old school hats. I think that would be an amazing career to follow the old school teams and write about it. I believe The Oz Files would still be around because Leah would be back in 1909 but we would communicate via Telegrams oh yes be jealous! So this has been the 100Th edition of The Oz Files and I hope you all enjoyed this amazing journey. I would like to say once again thanks for all the support from the peeps and Leah who sends the topics she does a great job. Well folks what would you do in May 16,1909? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

Tuna Oh The Possibilities!

Hey friends it's Oz here for a tuna edition of The Oz Files. Once again it's free write Friday and Oz has come up with the idea of tuna. Tuna is great for all occasions and I will be talking about why tuna is like so amazing and what is Oz's favorite tuna combos? I am going to first start off by saying that Leah gave me a nice little story and I would like to share that with you. She said,"Oh yeah Josh Mound bought a 4 pound can of tuna and wanted to use it all at once, so he made 28 tuna sandwiches and is eating those for lunch until they are gone. I just thought it was kind funny." Josh Josh Josh wow four pounds of tuna really? You gotta be joking me son for real I mean what are you going to do with 28 sandwiches? Will the tuna be fresh enough for the 28 sandwiches? I love tuna so much but making 28 tuna fish sandwiches with four pounds of tuna I think that is verging on obsessed! I only kid but that is quite the collection of tuna. Jessica Simpson she sure likes tuna ha ha ha! I really enjoy a good tuna casserole who in there right mind would turn down a good tuna casserole? Tuna is a very good meat especially on tuna fish sandwiches. I enjoy my tuna fish sandwiches with dilled pickles, mustard and cheese and of course the MAYO! I am a big fan of the food chain they call Subway. This may shock some but I do order the TUNA on honey oat and let me tell you that is the best tuna combo I have ever met. The feeling is mutual the tuna sub loves me and I love the tuna so both sides win it's a win win! I would not recommend tuna out of the can that could get a little out of hand and a little tasteless. People you have to be classy with the tuna and you can't half ass it you gotta go all the way make it seamless! I have to give a bit shout out to the Rocket Bakery they know what I want every Friday tuna on sourdough no tomato with an ice tea check me out! These are my thoughts and concerns on tuna. What are your thoughts on tuna? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
