I-AM-FUDGE

On January 31, I wrote about the iPad and pricing, and all the good stuff. Well it was announced this past week, that today, March 12, you can Pre-order an iPad, reserve it to be paid for and picked up on April 3rd. Got up, went out to my computer, and went through the 2 minute process to reserve my iPad for pick up on the 3rd. 16GB wifi only.

Just saw the new trailer for Eclipse of the Twilight Saga.  I am sure my wife is going to be excited about this one, just like how she was about New Moon.

Well, yesterday was my 5th year anniversary.  I bought my wife a blender, and she gave me an awesome Starbucks travel mug, and a gift card for Gamestop.  With that GC, I got a game called Prototype for my PS3.  Now, I am pretty bad at playing games, but I got playing this game for about 4 hours, and didn't want to put the controller down, nor throw it across the room.  If you like to game, try Prototype.

These 12 items below have the highest levels of pesticides when grown conventionally. The thin skins on many of them make it easy for pesticides to penetrate to the food and impossible for us to wash away the chemicals. Go for USDA certified organics of these foods and you're ensuring your salad wasn't raised using man-made chemical pesticides, fossil fuel- or sewage-based fertilizers or genetically-modified seeds.

grapes (imported)
kale
lettuce
nectarines
peaches
pears
strawberries
Of the 12, I probably eat 7 of them very regularly. I hate listening to my wife when she says to buy organic, but with the crazy stuff people are using to make things grow faster, and bigger, you can never be too careful.
Try your local farmer's market. They may not have the "organic" stamp, but probably use a lot less chemicals in their growing process. Plus, helping out the local farmer is always a good thing.

So TLC's website has published an article about the 10 meals that are "Proven" to make you happy. From the B vitamins, to the endorphins in the dishes, is the reason they are proven. Here is their list...
10. Mac and Cheese
9. Salmon and Brown Rice
8. Scrambled Eggs and Oatmeal
7. Spaghetti and Meatballs
6. Mashed Potatoes and Turkey
5. Banana Split
4. Chili and Cornbread
3. Sweet Potato Souffle
2. Beef Stew with Veggies and Potatoes
and the #1 thing on the list.....
1. ANYTHING CHOCOLATE!

There are a few on this list that I do not agree with. I know that they all include different things that will trigger your inner happy, but for me, I would take out the mac and cheese, oatmeal, sweet potato, and replace those with pizza, chicken pot pie, and Meat Jun. I am now hungry for some chili and cornbread, and I'm always in the mood for a banana split.
Mmmmm.
Happy Eating!

I love this show.  I was very sad they took it off the air after one season.  My buddy Roper was the one who told me to watch it, and after it was about 3 episodes in, I started up online.  I finished the season online, as they took the series off the air.  The show is so good, and the last episode, the season finally was one of the best cliffhangers of all TV.

You can get the season on DVD on Amazon.com for about $20. It is well worth it.

Landed last night in Phoenix to be with my mom and dad as my mom attends the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.  I asked the cabbie to make a stop at 1am.  Here is what a 6hr trip is worth...

Probably my favorite superbowl commercial.

Great clothing drive idea!
