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.

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...

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?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
