The Sound of Frying

What does the sound of breakfast frying on the stove make? If you speak English, you would call it “sizzle,” but what’s the word in other languages? James Chapman rounded up several words from various languages, and they’re all pretty onomatopoeic. Which I never would have been able to spell without autocorrect. -via Blame It On The Voices

I read this a few days ago and thought it was so cute. We go to a small, family run pet shop and always take the dogs there. They shoplift too. We always end up paying for more than we intended because one of them will swipe a pig's ear from the big box in the corner. I'm going to make my dogs get jobs to pay for this stuff.

This story isn't actually from Idaho, it's from Utah. KSL is a television station in Salt Lake City and the Smith's mentioned is pretty close to my house in Murray. Just thought I'd clear that up.
