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

Podcast #1

Yay! I've finally figured out how to get the recordings to show up on my blog. So this one is a actually a test recording. But I'm playing around here, so don't expect radio quality...at least not yet 😜 This first one is a recording of a post currently up on my blog titled Hostage Negotiations. May just add the recorded versions for those who'd rather listen than read. Plus, this new app has some pretty nifty features that I cannot wait to try out! Hostage podcast Peace, Mackgurl

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w
