We try, as a very loose rule, to have several vegetarian meals a week. We're not trying to become vegetarian; we're just trying to limit our meat consumption a little. I would say that we're probably not the best at that. Honestly, if we had 3 vegetarian meals a week, that would be a good week. We do eat a lot of chicken. For some reason I feel ( Read more... )

I don't know a lot of the details (read: I know zero), but there's been some recent... upsetness (Seriously, I can't think of a better word) about the FDA saying that cloned meat is okay for general consumption and that it doesn't have to have a sticker that says "copied from a real animal ( Read more... )

I'm really tired of my corporate office having no idea what is going on. I am both flattered and pissed (flissed? pittered?) that one of the corporate guys was asking me for advice about a product roll out. I'm flattered because I think it is really cool that the corporate group comes to a worker-bee like me for advice. I'm pissed because they had ( Read more... )

You're about to read another cereal related post. Kind of sad, isn't it ( Read more... )

I am so depressed every time I empty some food item out of a glass jar. El Paso does not yet recycle glass. I say "yet" but don't know for certain that they ever will. It still blows my mind that some place, with several hundred thousand inhabitants, doesn't have a better recycling program. Yes, we have curbside pick-up, but there's no commercial ( Read more... )

I was having some breakfast this morning, and I noticed the brand of cereal I was eating; it was Peace Cereal. Yes, this is hippie, granola, good for mother earth cereal. We've kind of gone on an "all natural" kick. Frankly, I like it. I feel healthier, though also more tired. I think I need to eat more carbs. But the food is good, and it does keep ( Read more... )

I am only just now getting around to writing about last weekend. It's not like it was a whirlwind week; it's just that I never got around to writing.

We had a pretty good weekend last week. We went to a fundraiser concert for the El Paso summer music festival. And this particular fund raiser was held at a person's house. It was less like a house ( Read more... )

Alison is still gone. I don't feel like cooking for just me. As such, here was my dinner: A can of soup eaten directly from the pot i heated it in, a turkey sandwich that was made on the counter and eaten out of hand (no plate necessary), and a plate of nachos.

The weekend (and Thanksgiving) were really good. We hung out with my family for Thanksgiving and had a very nice meal. The turkey was awesome this year. I like hanging out with my family. I think we're pretty fun people ( Read more... )

I had a real crap start to my morning. Really crappy. We're having a chili cook-off in my department today, so I made my chili. Now, I don't make chili in a crockpot, i make it in a 50 gallon steel drum. I then poured it into the crockpot. I then put the crockpot in my car, on the floor. I made it all the way to work before the damn thing turned ( Read more... )
