Pictures and Words

Hello! My name is Peter C. Hayward, and today I poured a bottle of fizzy drink into a pot of meat and assorted meat-related products that is sitting in my back yard.

The chosen liquid. To avoid using brand-names, it is going to be referred to as "Boca Bola".

I got some great suggestions from the comments yesterday, for what liquid I should add to the pot:

“McKeeKee” suggested:

Ketchup and mustard!

“Katydid” (my co-writer from yesterday’s Ted Vs Ed post) agrees:

I like McKeeKee’s suggestions – Traditional toppings for meat! Barbecue sauce! Ketchup! Sweet Chili sauce! … you already have gravy.

“Communications Officer Bernhard” (as seen in StinkyPete 1.0) has a unique take:

Red wine and a drop of your own

I was actually really tempted to go with this. Then “Chrissie” changed my mind:

Add something that you think might actually alter the meat’s condition – I don’t think sauces would have that much of an effect; they’d probably just get a skin and go crusty and gross. I like vinegar, cordial, or Coke for a topping, but leaning more towards Coke.

“Jenzilla” agrees:

go the coke. it’s acidic. maybe only acidic on metal… not sure. but it’s DESTRUCTIVE so do it.

A persuasive argument indeed! So this morning I woke up, discovered that we have about four bottles of coke in the fridge, left over from a party a while back, and…well, you can watch the video:

In the video, I also detail some StinkyPete-related dreams I have had recently.

Note: if the coke turns out to be a non-event, and nothing interesting happens, I’m happy to drain the pot and try again with a different liquid. Stay tuned!

Also, as promised, here are some photos of the Pot of Rot, post-stirring:

A lot of the fat from the Pork Steak survived. (although it can be hard to tell what's steak-fat, and what's tissue.)

This looks quite similar to the previous photo, but it's actually the other side of the pot. At first I thought that was a puddle of congealed fat, then I worked out it was probably tartar sauce.

I was trying to take a photo of the other side of the pot, and I missed.

I will put down money to see someone drink a cup of the Pot of Rot brand Boca Bola. Any volunteers?

Tomorrow: Daily check-in!
