Lemon Poppy-Seed Muffin

Lemon poppy-seed muffins sounded strange at first but it was actually pretty good.

A review of "Marinara Sauce" (rated 5 stars)

Marinara Sauce

I recently discovered that I absolutely love Marinara Sauce. I could not get enough of it after I had a taste.

A story about "Everything You Need to Know: The Brain"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 20:23:37 GMT

Everything You Need to Know: The Brain

The brain has no pain receptors (so you don’t need aesthesia for brain surgery). Neat, huh? Like the other things you learn from this segment.

I already knew some of the things they mentioned but it was interesting. For example, the studies about London cab drivers (Memorizing street maps might help regular people).

“Controlled fear” = Adrenaline ♥ (Ex; Fireworks Finale)

Some brain cells CAN regenerate during healing.

A story about "Social Frankenstein"

Social Frankenstein

by Waste of Aces

Bumblebee sounds like something you’d write when you’re high…

It is also a fairly mellow song. :]

A story about "Chocolate Souffle"

Chocolate Souffle

We made this tonight but I’m not that big a fan of it.

However, the experience of knowing how to make it now is pretty cool. Afterward, we watched that strange French film, Amélie with English subtitles. I got a bit of the ending once but I never saw it entirely.

Do you think I’ll forever associate these with that movie now?

A review of "Cold Cuts Deli Creations Hot Sandwhich Melts Deli Shaved Turkey & Cheddar Dijon"

Cold Cuts Deli Creations Hot Sandwhich Melts Deli Shaved Turkey & Cheddar Dijon

by Oscar Mayer

This was so disgusting I had to force myself to eat it.
I eventually gave up and threw the rest away.

How "Clams" changed my life

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 15:20:07 GMT

Clams

I had this for the first time yesterday.

I thought they were good on their own. The slightly annoying part was squeezing some sand out of them. They were good and tasted like a sea creature would. I don’t know how to explain that. :) But, after I had them dipped in some concoction (with basil and whatnot) I had to eat them that way since it tasted so much better.

How "Complete MoisturePlus" changed my life

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 19:47:46 GMT

Complete MoisturePlus

Oh what’s that? This causes an increased risk of the rare but potentially blinding eye infection Acanthamoeba keratitis, caused by a parasite.

Thank you once again for not caring about humanity or the environment you typical large corporations.

In addition to discarding bottles of Complete, people who use the solution should also:

Throw out their lens storage container and current pair of soft lenses.

See an eye doctor if they have eye pain, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or extreme tearing.

A story about "Crash (Widescreen Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sat, 26 May 2007 17:48:01 GMT

Crash (Widescreen Edition)

by Paul Haggis

I read some of these entries and most are love it or hate it opinion on the film. My boyfriend refuses to watch any Academy Award winning films and I don’t blame him.

This movie, like Babel (which I didn’t like), had many different situations that were interconnected (as is everything in life), but in a film it can get confusing.

The one scene where the cop makes a split second decision reminded me of something I read in the book Blink, our unconscious decisions in moments of rapid decisions…

I have a tendency to get into movies when I watch them and I just was in the moment and must have cried about half a dozen times.

There were some flaws…(and I don’t want to give anything away.) Usually we watch movies to escape reality not to be thrown into it but this movie depicted issues of racism. It was a dramatic, depressing, and poignant film.

A story about "Frontline: The Age of AIDS"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sun, 13 May 2007 22:00:25 GMT

Frontline: The Age of AIDS

by Katerina Monemvassitis

My notes… :) Don’t mind them.

Dr. Jonathan Mann, former head of W.H.O., was called a scientist with a heart of gold by a joyful African woman.

President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, showed that prevention campaigns can work!

I also recall appreciating their demonstration of the actual virus. It gave me a good idea of how adaptable the virus is and how incredibly arduous it be to “crack” it.

A story about the last time I consumed "Latawnya, the Naughty Horse, Learns to Say "No" to Drugs"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sat, 05 May 2007 14:04:34 GMT

Latawnya, the Naughty Horse, Learns to Say "No" to Drugs

by Sylvia S. Gibson

This is the most uncreative and poorly written book for children about drugs and alcohol. They might as well have used people instead of horses and maybe some color in the illustrations. The writing style was painful so I read quickly. Here, you can read it.

A story about "McDonalds French Fries"

McDonalds French Fries

by McDonalds

I remember whenever I got these, as weird as it seems, I would always grab a fry and with my pointer finger and thumb rub all the salt off and then turn it to do it to the other side and then eat it.

A story about the last time I consumed "The Clarence Greenwood Recordings"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 01:12:22 GMT

The Clarence Greenwood Recordings

by Citizen Cope

Anyone up for some jiggly ball?

Today, I was watching the pride episode of Scrubs. I realized that near the end of the show they were playing sideways. I didn’t except that song to play on televison. I love that song and it is one of my favorite songs on this album. I was so happy and surprised. You should have seen me during the commerical.

A story about "Plain Bagel"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 23:42:53 GMT

Plain Bagel

This morning I split a plain mini-bagel in half. I put one in the toaster and I eat the other one with cream cheese.

I took the other one out of the toaster and placed it on the empty plastic bag it came in for one second and then quickly picked it back up realizing it has germs. :P

However, the ink on the bag was imprinted on the bagel and removed from the bag.

My inital reaction was disgust and my first thought was…

“What do they put on the side of the bagel to make it react that way when heated?“

A story about "irony"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Fri, 26 May 2006 19:08:00 GMT

irony

Irony is a common experience among humans…

Josh starts accusing Alice of taking his hat when he is wearing it or he cannot find his glasses but there are on his head or right in front of him on his desk.

You cannot find you keys but then you realize they are in your hands or pocket. Or you might realize they are still in the car door because you never remembered to take them out.

A story about "Oranges"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Sat, 13 May 2006 15:21:02 GMT

Oranges

by see Oranges by Companies

“The higher humidity of Florida results in a thinner, smoother rind, which is much harder to peel, than the California Navel.” (BlackJack Orchards)

They are very sweet in February, April, and March. Late season they are dry, puffy, and expensive so don’t buy them then but instead choose summer fruits. (Produce Pete)

“The full flavor and color of the Navel Orange usually isn’t set until after Thanksgiving.” (Pearson Ranch)

Now You know. :D

A story about "Piñata"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Wed, 10 May 2006 22:16:03 GMT

Piñata

While hitting the piñata the following rhyme is sung:

Dale, dale, dale,
No pierdas el tino
Porque si lo pierdes
pierdes el camino.
Ya le diste una,
ya le diste dos,
ya le diste tres
¡y tu tiempo se acabó!

which translates as:

Hit it, hit it, hit it
Don’t lose your aim
Because if you lose it
You will lose your way.
You have hit it once
You have hit it twice
You have hit it thrice
And your time is over now!

A question I have about "chicken fingers"

What is the difference between Chicken Fingers & Chicken Tenders?

A story about "Cherry Tomatoes"

nobody@allconsuming.net (edina) — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 22:40:31 GMT

Cherry Tomatoes

I love fresh ripe (but not too ripe) cherry tomatoes because they are so juicy and they have just the right amount of sweetness.
