It’s amazing how far we’ve come in the past decade or so when it comes to the environment. We are all taking steps every day to make the world a better place, whether we make an attempt to, or just do it out of habit. And things are only getting better.
Check out this Sun Chips bag that will decompose on its own!
After about 14 weeks, Sun Chips bags will disappear. Can you imagine?! I look at the ditches along the road and there is so much trash. Wouldn’t it be great if it would all just disappear on its own? Maybe someday it will. This is a big step in the right direction and I hope all food makers hop on board.
Back in 1998, Saturday Night Live did a very funny sketch about an NPR radio show where they interviewed a guy named Pete Schweddy from a bakery called Seasons Eatings who makes delicious holiday balls.
Take a look:
The funny stuff doesn’t get going until about 2 minutes into the video so keep watching.
In celebration of the release of WALL-E on DVD, and the upcoming Holiday season, I thought I’d share a little WALLE-E fun in the form of an iPhone/iPod Touch wallpaper.
As I’ve been socializing on Plurk, there is one topic that just seems to grab a lot of attention. And that topic is bacon. Everywhere I turn, there are more and more bacon lovers sharing their interesting bacon finds.
I thought I’d put a few of those together to share with all the bacon lovers out there.
While at WalMart the other day, we ran across the one of the coolest cakes I’ve ever seen. It’s a hamburger & fries cake.
Everything pictured above is either cake or frosting. Right down to to the fries and ketchup.
To make it even better, when the hamburger was cut, the bun was white cake and the burger in the middle was chocolate cake. So it even looked like a burger once you took a bite out of it.
A lot of thought and time was taken to make this cake and it turned out pretty darn cool. We just had to buy it when we saw it was only $11.
The announcement today of the Apple iPhone is amazing. The little device that can do phone, music, videos, tv and so much more blows me away. All this with no buttons, just a touch screen. It’s basically like a Mac Nano. It’s almost perfect. The main, and killer, downside is that it’s Cingular only. I’m not switching to them anytime soon and I really wish they could have partnered with Verison or a few cell companies.
One good thing, or bad depending on how it turns out, is that when I go to conferences, I’ll go pretty much anywhere the group goes. Get a bunch of different and you never know where you’ll end up. While at SES in Chicago I found myself at two restaurants I wouldn’t normally try.
The first on was a Thai restaurant. Now if you ask me where I’d like to go eat, I’d say KFC or out for pizza. Thai however has never been on my radar but I went anyways.
The much anticipated (at least by me) new Sugarland album was released this week and it’s great. Unlike other artists, they still have all the magic the with the second album as they did with the first. Heck, I still really enjoy the first album. From energetic songs to powerful ballads, Enjoy the Ride is well worth the download (or in store purchase if you’re into that).
If you purchase from iTunes, you get two videos and the digital booklet too.
Since my wife recently had a Pulmonary Embolism we have to watch what foods she eats. Vitamin K is one thing she doesn’t want to get to much of as it will interact with her coumadin medication. We know to say away from green vegetables, but there are a lot of other foods high in vitamin K too.
We recently came across Ptinr.com, a great website that lets you put in any food and it’ll tell you if it’s high, medium or low in vitamin K. Did you know that Cheetos are high? Starbursts are low. Chocolate Milk is high. Chicken Nuggets are low. They also have a great, 10 page, print out of most foods and their vitamin K value that you can take with you.
