Cold Spaghetti and Late Nights Alone
Posted on 2007-06-08 at 21:47
Wife's out on the town with Meghan. I'm home with Cadence eating cold spaghetti and typing blog entries into a text editor.
Mmmmm Sacra-licious!

I felt that the body of Christ, the---the meaning of Christ, is about the sweetness. Tell me more about this divinely-tasty Messiah of yours.
OK, enough with the dessert jokes. I did have one semi-serious point to make. To the guy in the linked article who said this was "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever," I'd like to respond with, "Then let me introduce you to the Colosseum. I think its rich history might afford you some damn perspective."
Have Some "Long Pig"
Posted on 2006-11-10 at 08:33
Scientists working for EC System technologies and Mie University have a small robot they've designed to identify food by taste. They give it a win and the robot tells them what sort it is. They give it the fuzzy grey lump in the back of the fridge and the robot tells them what sort of beast it used to be.
All is good, right? Wrong! The robots have the hunger now! A reporter doing a story on the robot placed his hand in the mouth of the robot, at which point it told everyone gathered that humans taste like pig! Bacon, specifically. They will come for us soon.
Of course, as weird as the bacon comment sounds, it's likely the robot isn't wrong. The cannibals if Polynesia used to refer to humans as "Long Pig". The Aztecs, after the spanish converted them from cannibalism, loved the swine the snapish brought over. When asked why they liked it so much, the former cannibals told them bluntly that it tasted like us.
I guess Hannibal had it wrong. Chianti seems a trifle incorrect. Perhaps something like a Zinfandel? Yes, a Zinfandel seems a better choice for the modern cannibal.
P.S. Eeeew.
My inevitable march toward immortality continues

According to several sources online scientists in Britain have just announced substantial success in eliminating allergies from our lives.
They state that within 5 to 7 years that food allergies, hayfever, and the like could likely be eradicated. They have discovered that we are not allergic to the entire food or pollen grain but rather to certain proteins that are just a small part of them. They have identified these proteins and they are already testing a vaccine on humans. This is not an allergy shot as you may have experienced or heard of. Rather than being designed to get your body accustomed to the foreign substance over time through exposure, this method will eliminate your bodies need to attack said foreign substance.
Note that this has application in eliminating Asthma as well.
I'm achieving immortality one health discovery at a time.
McDonald's Fries Are More Unhealthy Than Previously Accepted
Posted on 2006-02-09 at 08:30
According the Associated Press, McDonald's has changed to a newer and more accurate nutritional testing method that yielded surprising results about their fries. The new tests showed that McDonald's fries contain a third more trans fats than previous estimates.
How much fat does an order of large fries contain? 30 grams (up from the previous estimate of 25), of which 8 grams (up from the previous estimate of 6) are trans fat, believed to be the worst type of fat for heart disease and other arterial problems. This means that when you eat a large order of fries from McDonalds, you are ingesting the equivalent of a shotglass of pure, greasy fat.
McDonald's nutritional information is posted on their web site (where you can see the new values for French Fries) and it is of note that McDonald's menu is diverse and offers healthier alternatives. Additionally, though there existed some external pressure, McDonald's did release the results voluntarily as part of their ongoing project to make the nutritional data available to their patrons.
After the annoucement, McDonald's shares rose 17 cents to close at $36.36 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange. Say wha?!?
Eat up, America.

Must...have...Starbuck's Soy Hot Chocolate.
Healthy Breakfast Muffin
Posted on 2005-12-15 at 08:04
This recipe makes 1 healthy sausage and egg muffin to enjoy guilt-free in the morning. Enjoy!
1 frozen Morningstar veggie sausage patty
1/4 cup of eggbeaters
1 English Muffin (I prefer Thomas English Muffins, but pick your favorite brand and flavor)
Bake the sausage in the oven at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes. Fry the egg in a pan over a low heat until it is the desired consistency (personal taste...I like my eggs quite dry). While the sausage and egg are cooking, toast the English muffin. Sandwich the egg and sausage between the two halves of the English muffin. Once complete, bite into your tasty new morning treat and send me a thank you note as payment for your inevitable breakfast bliss.
Healthy or not, this is some good stuff!
It's a Soy Hot Chocolate morning

Not sure why, but it is. Must have Soy Hot Chocolate. Damn you, Starbucks, for your tasty liquid confectionary with a healthy twist!
Chocolate Silk
Posted on 2005-04-13 at 08:02
I've tried Silk (Soy Milk) in the past and didn't much like it, but yesterday I drove through Starbucks and got a Silk-based hot chocolate. Pretty dang good! I think I may be doing that again.
Thai food is evil
Posted on 2004-10-13 at 08:02
Will spindoctored me into going to a Thai place for lunch. I didn't like Thai food before I went. I don't like it afterward either. My stomach is upset and I have a raging headache.
Diet

Well, it's official. I talked with Denise and I'm going on the meds soon. It kinda sucks, but I started this in my mid-to-late 20s and now I'm in my early-to-mid 30s. I think I've managed to stay off them long enough. I tried a few diet corrections recently which did not agree with me and I know what to change to keep going on the diet, but I'm just tired of it. I think I've done enough.

My diet wears on me sometimes. :( I am on a 2-week stringent period and it really sucks.
