Midwest Tour Included Thai and Greek Food

10 Dec, 2006

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 […]

Pulmonary Embolism – Foods to Avoid with Vitamin K

30 Sep, 2006

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 […]

Candy Cigarettes

15 Dec, 2005

When I was a kid I remember getting candy cigarettes. I was so cool! I’m sure that Target or Walmart would never sell such a thing these days but when I was at a store in the Mall of America the other day, there they were. Now I like the candy version of cigarettes much […]
