Rae…You are SO My Hero!

(Chloe Rambo)
(Chloe Rambo)

Man - if only you all could have been there...well...those of you with strong stomachs, that is.

It was pretty brilliant, if I do say so myself.  As you may recall during the big, bad (and incredibly awesome) VOX Blog-A-Thon, Jen put up a great post about some really crazy websites including a Physic Ant Farm, People Who Hate Beanie Babies,....and of course...the website in question - Wild Recipes.  (threatening music...*dum dum dummmm...*)

Just like Jen said, the website features some gourmet (and totally insane...) cuisne like cheddar coffee and even chocolate covered hot dogs...this is where our hero, Rae, comes in. She came to the monthly Vox staffmeeting prepared - really prepared.

Out of a standard grocery bag she whipped out a lil' container of Hershey's syrup and a hotdog...her mission was laid out before her.

And...*drumroll please*.....she tried it. That's all I need to say. (You can get a decent description from the pictures....)

So, Rae is officially my hero; Anybody out there who has tried something as awesome (and insane!) as this? Another other weird combinations going on?

 

 

 

 

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
