Where's the BEEF!!!!??

How many of you are concerned about what you eat? You check you your tri-whatchamacallits and your and transmission  fluids  - okay so I’m not a doctor! I don’t even play one on TV – not yet anyway *wink* 

But you know what I mean right? We’re always checking to make sure that we are performing at optimum levels.  The health industry makes billions of dollars each year and there’s always someone in the wings waiting to swoop in a make a buck by piggy backing on these desires to be fit and trim.

That brings me to my rant of the day – BISON MEAT!

So, when I first heard about this “new” meat I was told that it was lean and very good for you. Bison-lovers also touted its wonderful flavor and its ability to blend into some of your favorite dishes. So much so until it was almost unnoticeable – SCREECHHH!!! Do what? It BLENDS? ALMOST unnoticeable? Why do I have to camouflage it in order to eat it?
Bison? Bison? It sounded so familiar but it was too new age to be what I was thinking, right?

No way was this the STUFF that folks were raving about!  So I asked my co-worker who is firmly in the Bison- Lover camp and sure enough this is what she was raving about

OMG! I was horrified. My first thought was where do you get it? Ok, no my first though really was WHY for the love of all that’s HOLY would you purposefully eat BUFFALO MEAT?!  My second question was where do you get it? I found out that they sell it in the butcher case right alongside all the other meat.
Want proof? My co-worker purchased said meat at the market down the street


Again, WHY? She said “Girl, it tastes just like beef! Want to taste my spaghetti with Bison?”  Me: “ Uh, no but thanks for the offer.” Co-worker: “Oh, just try it. It does tastes just like beef!” Me (In my head) – THEN WHY NOT EAT BEEF!??!

This is a trend that I am going to give a wide berth  - aka - PASS!!! 
Besides, look closely at the photo...did you notice the cost of said "wonder-meat"? $8.99/pound. No, that is NOT a typo. That little package of Buffalo-Bliss sold for $13.75.

Harris Teeter has 93% fat free beef for $6.97 for 2 pounds.
You do the math.

Golden Haze

There I was...minding my own business (no really, I was - this time) thought I'd do some note taking, some observing (okay maybe not completely minding my own business), get some ideas for some posts...and the craziest thing happened. I started noticing a few people walk by my table, look at me - stare at me really, some snickered, some outright laughed. I was thinking sheesh, what's up? No one said anything - just looked at me, looked down at my table, looked at me, laughed or chuckled and walked away...that was until this guy walked over and sat down next to me. Immediately, my internal alert system went into overdrive!!! STRANGER DANGER!!! Then he says the craziest thing to me... Stranger: Hey, yeah so are you here regularly?  (ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER)  Me: Excuse me? Stranger: Nah, I'm just saying if you're here like on the reg, and you're bold enough to advertise the merch I'm straight going to switch my loyalty to you.  Me: DAFUQ!  (INTER...

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...
