GREETINGS FROM FEROCIOUSLY HOT FT. LAUDERDALE

Posted on August 28, 2007

We are here to celebrate a wedding! We left NYC where it was hazy, hot and humid and came here where it is even hazier, hotter and more humid. You can not go outside without dropping three or four pounds of water on the sidewalk- and that’s even if you stand stock still. Local residents Continue Reading »

IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION?

Posted on August 27, 2007

Have you noticed that lately almost everything we read has mistakes in it? Where are the proof readers and editors? We recently read a book where a character’s name changed mid story. In another one, the author wrote contradictory times within the space of three paragraphs. Not only is good writing becoming more and more Continue Reading »

DEEP FRIED EVERYTHING

Posted on August 24, 2007

Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Great story in the NY Times today. Seems at the Great Indiana State Fair this year, they are requiring all fried foods to be fried in oils with no trans fats.

APE SNOT AND OTHER CANDIES

Posted on August 9, 2007

We were hot and thirsty as we wandered the streets of a small town in Holland. We stopped in a corner store and bought some bottled water. All of a sudden, out of the corner of our eye we spotted a candy bag with a somewhat weird name on it. The candy was called Ape Continue Reading »

CATCHING UP WITH KETCHUP

Posted on August 6, 2007

Big news indeed: Tomatoes that will become ketchup, salsa, spaghetti sauce and other products are now being harvested in the Central Valley, and farmers report above-average yields from their fields. Canneries will pay farmers higher prices for processing tomatoes than they’ve seen in several years. But rising water costs will offset some of the benefit Continue Reading »

SHOES OF THE FISHERMAN

Posted on August 3, 2007

It apparently is not enough that we all have to put up with those frisky evangelicals and others who ring our doorbell, anxious to share what they call the “good news.” It is not enough to we often sit in traffic behind cars with the somewhat ubiquitous Christian fish on the back of the car Continue Reading »
