{Check it Out} Meat Graph, Sliders, Peanut Butter
A few things that caught my eye this week… The New York Times graphed out Americas meat consumption over the past century with contributing events included. Very interesting! I use peanut butter on many things, pancakes, waffles, celery, in oatmeal, in yogurt. Check out this homemade peanut butter with varieties that include PB swirled with…
{Check it Out} Movie Snacks, Beer Map, Japan
A few things that caught my eye this week… Let me start with this mashup of LL Cool J and Dexy’s Midnight Runners. I have watched probably no fewer than 50 times. Seriously awesome! Buying snacks at the movie is such a money suck. As kids we brought out own popcorn. I try to bring…

Links in the Kitchen
The ten year-old had a field trip last Friday to the Planetarium, perfect excuse to take the day off and go on what is likely the last field trip with her. It was a beautiful day to be on the lakefront. I don’t think I have been there since grade school myself. Not a ton…
Gifts of Plenty
Who better to buy me the perfect gift than myself, I know exactly what I want. Case in point, the four year-old announced he is buying me a book about Thanksgiving for my birthday. He then asked me to forget he said it so it would be a surprise. I did a bit of shopping…
