Taking a Billie Holiday from Holiday Ham and Turkey Leftovers

Omelette with Turkey, Cheddar Cheese & Green Onions. Pan-fried ham. Ciabatta bun.

Bee-eye-ell-ell-eye-ee-aitch-oh-ell-eye-dee-ay-why. Billie Holiday. Breakfast. So, what's this twisty post really about? I'm not sure... Stick around and maybe you'll figure it out before I do.

To ponder, to weigh. Excess. Moderation. Or excess in moderation. You know when they say too much of anything (bad or good) is bad? Brought on by looping this song too many times:

The FIRST MINUTE consists of spelling out B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y. over and over. SRSLY. The song? "Billie Holiday" (no duh?) by American experimental rock all-girl band "Warpaint". A gauzy, moody quasi-cover lullaby of "My Guy" (a #1 hit single written by Smokey Robinson and sung by Mary Wells in 1964), stripped of the original's upbeat giddiness. An apathetic haze induced by anti-anxiety drugs or eating turkey (if you believe that turkey meat is high in tryptophan - an amino acid, resulting in drowsiness if you eat too much turkey). LOL WUT?

And the LAST MINUTE consists of "we're like birds of a feather" over and over. Ummm. o_O

An open-faced "Omelette with Roast Turkey, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese and Scallions (green onions)". Pan-fried "Baked Pineapple Brown Sugar Honey Mustard Glazed Holiday Ham". And warm, crusty Italian bread (a Cibatta bun). Yay... today's breakfast packs on the calories.

Omelette with Turkey, Cheddar & Scallions. Pineapple Honey Glazed Ham. Italian bread.

It's like slowly getting rid of leftover Halloween boo candy by mixing it in your everyday meals. Okay, so maybe putting those Smarties into my bowl of Cheerios wasn't such a smart idea...

I'll end this post with how I began it... Bee-eye-ell-ell-eye-ee-aitch-oh-ell-eye-dee-ay-whyyyy. B.I.L.L.I.E.H.O.L.I.D.A.Y. (Ad infinitum...) I need a holiday. OK, so another holiday. Preferably one that doesn't involve eating last year's leftovers. (Aah! Can't get the song out of my head.)

Oh. Em. Gee. I know how to spell! Yay. Bee-eye-ell-ell-eye-ee-aitch-oh-ell-eye-dee-ay-whyyy.

Au revoir,
Massa P aka "fruity Pineapple Ham"

P.S. Why are you storing depressing songs in my Dropbox? SRSLY. You-know-who-you-are. Not all birds of a feather flock together. Misery doesn't necessarily love company. LOL WUT?

    I only have one thing to say and I feel like I should still say it even though it's just that one word... LOL.

    P.S. So glad you're -somewhat- posting regularly again. :D

    Hi again, Massa! How are you?

    Last year, a friend that I've met on Tumblr recommended me that Warpaint band, but I only remembered the recommendation just... now, thanks to your post. I just suck at remembering things last year! Good thing I've been taking notes more than usual... again. :P

    And as far as having too much of something goes: I kinda hate it... depends. Example: ensaymada is really tasty, but quoting a line from a Spice Girls song, "too much of something is bad enough." :P
