Jack and I headed off to the Gator's tune-up game as they prepare for Auburn next week. This week was Towson University, which if you didn't know, is in Baltimore.

Jewel!
Elle's horse camp horse was Jewel this year! Despite a rainy week it was still probably her favorite camp.

Science marches on: Sausage biscuits tested
Here's another old "draft" post that I published on Dad's behalf. Don't know if he ever published a different version of this or not. Regardless, Happy Birthday Dad!

It rained today, so I did a research project: How do sausage biscuits from Hardee's, Mickey D, and Burger King compare? The prices were $1 at McD and BK, $1.50 at Ha. Here are the weights, in grams.

It rained today, so I did a research project: How do sausage biscuits from Hardee's, Mickey D, and Burger King compare? The prices were $1 at McD and BK, $1.50 at Ha. Here are the weights, in grams.
ordered as follows: BK Ha McD
Overall weight 116 118 112
Sausage weight 43 30 42
Sausage degreased 37 21 33
Degreasing was accomplished by microwaving each patty for ten seconds and then giving it a maximal napkin squeeze with which my readers are familiar. BK is a clear winner here with both the biggest patty and the least squeezable fat.
Next I tested for taste. My personal ratings were McD 9, BK 8, and Ha 4. McD had a nice spicy kick while Ha had an unpleasant mushy texture and very little taste.
I also let my dog Jake test these for flavor. To do this, I placed a small sample of each meat patty on the laundry room floor and then opened the door to the dog. The samples were placed left to right about a foot apart in the order BK Ha McD. I recorded the order in which Jake snarfed them up as 1, 2, or 3. I then repeated this in the order Ha McD BK, and finally in the order McD BK Ha. I added the order numbers as preference scores, and then repeated the whole test. Thus little Jake (a Boston Terrier) tried 18 sausage samples in all. Here are the total scores: McD 9 Ha 13 Bk 14. Jake likes McD the best followed by Ha narrowly over BK.
Here are the overall conclusions: Go to BK for this item and if it's not too far out of the way, swing through McD on the way home to get a treat for your dog. Avoid Hardee's.

The Folsom Staybridge Suites
Where desks are manned by dogs....!
This pooch was "working the back desk" of the Staybridge Suites on our recent trip to Folsom.
The pooch was well-mannered and liked scratches. Was cool they let him come in with one of the employees.

Million Dollar Quartet!
We got to see the Million Dollar Quartet musical at the Hippodrome. Pictures during the show weren't allowed but here's the set - Sun Studio on Union Ave. in Memphis. The show, featuring Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley - along with Sam Phillips was excellent!
