I-AM-FUDGE

They look good, they taste good, but are they as "natural" as they claim?   A blogger has poked a hole in Wendy's claims of the fries being "natural". A report shows the fries use a stew of exotic laboratory chemicals to improve the fries' appearance, flavor, and ease of cooking.

The fries do away with the steam skinning -- ironically, one of the most "natural" parts of the average fast food company's fry manufacturing process.  

Chopped, the fries begin their chemical journey with a dip in sodium acid pyrophosphate.  They're also powdered with slightly more natural D-glucose (crystallized from corn).  Together the two components prevent the fries from browning during their first fry at the factory and their second fry at the restaurant.

Yesterday iPad 2 was announced to the world.  First question, will I get one? Yes.  The dual cameras alone is enough for me, yet double the speed, thinner and a bit lighter, easier to hold, I will take all those.  Hoping my dad will buy one for my mom, so I can then use FaceTime and see my family back home more often.  Got one iPad-First Gen, for sale.  Any takers?

Read about this place on yelp. There are not too many places you find on yelp with 5 star ratings. This place had 10 reviews with all five stars. Since we ventured out of Omaha today, I though we better stop in for some coffee. The decor is nice, the coffee pretty good, free wifi, but one thing that I don't like is the seating. Not the layout, but the hard chairs. Why do coffee houses put hard chairs in their shops? Is it to get people out faster? Whatever the reason, I don't like it.
I do however like the clientele that walks through the door, even if I was only in there for 30 minutes. You have your normal students studying, your coffee snobs, like myself, on an iPad or MacBook. Then you have your hippies, who don't shave their armpits...<---- ewww. Hahaha. Either way, I will have to make this a mandatory stop on our trips to Lincoln, especially since my wife found Open Harvest CoOp, which she fell in love with. Great, I guess it's a good reason to get out of Omaha.

This book is great for anyone in a relationship, especially those who are married. No matter if you have been married for 10 years, or a newlywed, this book will help you in your relationship. I was given this book and it has helped me realize how my wife needs to bs loved. The book explains that there are 5 simple way people feel loved:
Gifts
Acts of Service
Words of Affirmation
Physical Touch
Quality Time
You need to figure out how you feel love, and your spouse. You may be surprised. Many people try to give love the way they feel it the most. I may like to receive gifts, and shower my wife with gifts, where just spending quality time with her would show her that I love her more than anything in the world. More than if I bought her a new car!
If you really want to make your spouse fall in love with you all over again, read this book, then share it with your spouse.

February 2, Groundhogs Day in Omaha, NE.  Mr. Punxsutawney Phil came out today and looked for his shadow.  Mr. Phil did not see his shadow which means that Spring should be right around the corner.  Doesn't seem like it's near, since today we have had the coldest wind chills since I have moved back to Nebraska, -30 degrees.  It is hard to explain that from -30 to even zero you can feel the difference.

Here is Punxsutawney on his annual visit to see the shadow, or not.

I just heard on the radio today that an organization called Fixed Point Foundations created a super bowl commercial, that FOX declined.   After a few months of working on the commercial and raising funds (3.1 Million for 30 seconds) for its broadcast, however, Fox sent what Taunton calls "a carefully worded document" explaining the network "would not air anything with religious doctrine."
