A little something I came up with for the folks at Steve’s Original!

I know I sound like a broken record, but this past week (like every other week this summer) has been a blur. I’ll be back to the regularly scheduled programming soon, I promise. Food, life, outdated pop culture references and such. Last weekend I flew to the Chi for the ‘Chlorette party of one of [...]

This one is short because the point is really, disgustingly, glaringly apparent. First: Cargill, an Agribusiness Giant, has recalled 36 MILLION lbs. of ground turkey due to salmonella contamination. People got sick. Somebody died. Since the turkey “product” is a mass-produced blend of turkey meat from all over the map, it’s necessary to recall it [...]

So I read about this the other day. Arizona contemplating levying a $50 fee on smokers and the obese to prop up the solvency of Medicaid. (Obligatory rear-view photo of people with big butts:) Apparently this fee will fix people who are suffering from a deficiency of $50 fees. (If we were truly concerned with [...]

I blog a few times each week [...]

(Alternate title: “One Girl’s desperate attempt to change the subject.”) I am soooo over BaconGate 2011. Eagerly awaiting Sausage Fest 2012. No. No, that’s not right at all. Pretend I didn’t say that. Yesterday’s clustertruck of pro-piggy posts sent me into a crazed mental spiral. I had to go to my happy place. Where some [...]

This post has been in the works for awhile, and seems to have come up for publishing at the appropriate time. Mr. Wolf has given us a delightful home-cured bacon post. I know bacon is a boring subject, so this will probably fall like a drop into the ocean. I can’t imagine the subject of [...]

Edit/Attempt to be productive: You CAN get EMF diffuser thingies. I know little about them, but am actively researching. Let me know if you know of any, and here’s an example. Kindles, e-readers and iPads have never quite sat right with me. Yes, they’re cool…portable…amazingly convenient. I have dropped my “but you can’t dog-ear the page” [...]
