Well, it's been a long, week and I'm ready for the weekend.

I Fooled Millions Into Thinking Chocolate Helps Weight Loss. Here's How. (Courtesy of the Mr. It's pretty long but basically why I don't really rely on anything more than common sense when it comes to food trends. We eat a few squares of dark chocolate a few times a week not because someone told us we should but because we like it and enjoy it in moderation. But this is a great example of how the media passes along crap because they need content, not because they researched to see if it's actually true.)

I, along with the rest of the country, am stoked to get in more grilling. It's grocery weekend so I'll be perusing ads today to get the most for our moolah. I think I inspired myself to get to World Market after our video and we picked up some Hawaiian goodies so we can have people over for cookouts this summer. I'm in the mood for chicken kebobs so I'm thinking huli huli chicken and some veggies between rainstorms. I also ordered some stone ground yellow grits from Charleston and I'll be testing my version of shrimp and cheese grits soon. I just want to find the perfect cheese for my inaugural go.
What's on tap for y'all this weekend?

I am loving the grilling. More is a wonderful thing! Got some more great links to read. Happy Friday everyone!
ReplyDeleteGot to get the swamp cooler up and going between rainstorms. It's been cold enough that I just barely turned off the heat, but next week the temps are supposed to start climbing. Probably I will grill something, but I don't know what yet. I'll pick up my bountiful baskets basket tomorrow, and try to figure out next week's meals based on what veggies turn up in the basket. Yep, I'm boring.
ReplyDeleteCycling tomorrow am and lunch w/ a cousin. Definitely some time on the deck grilling :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for a quiet weekend with no phone calls since I'm on-call again. I'm in a foul mood this fine Friday, so beyond wanting to grumpily go to sleep, I can't say I have much planned. A friend wanted to meet up for breakfast and I'm just not in the mood. She emails me a day before and expects me to do it, so I put her off for a week. I just need to be by myself in my own crap. =o)
