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.

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...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...
