BAD NEWS FOR YOUR BBQ PLANS? It’s not that I don’t enjoy a grilled portobello mushroom (yum) from time to time but I do so love but this right here is what they call food for thought. You could also chalk it up as a win for veggiesaurs everywhere. Just don’t let your local charcuterer in on this one.
WE ARE EATING OURSELVES TO DEATH: Far be it from me to call bullspit on the fine folks at Dunkin Donuts, but if they think that I believe for one minute that their new bacon and fried egg in a glazed donut breakfast sammich packs a measly 360 calories, they are, to quote Kanye, cray. Then again, perhaps they’re mini donuts? Still, a few of those and you’re likely to bust the seat out of your slim fit trousers.
ON THE OTHER HAND: This all looks pretty delicious. And a lot healthier. Also, smart.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN NEW YORK: Wow.
BUTT OUT? With news like this, it is only a matter of time before the no smoking movement gets more invasive than ever. It has become an economic issue (or more to the point, excuse) and it means that employers are going to, more and more, hire only non smokers. Or liars.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BENJAMINS – THE SEQUEL: When he wasn’t testing his fate with the elements or assembling his Farmer’s Almanac, or marking his time as one of our Founding Farmers (OR designing a brand new alphabet), Benjamin Franklin, one time ambassador to France, wrote pamphlets on flatulence.
LOOKING FOR LOVE? Don’t forget the interwebs.
OH REALLY?
Need something else to read?
- To bling or not to bling? It’s not so much a question, really. It’s more of a continuum.
- What are the elements of style? Glad you asked.
- Before you decide to treat your lady friend to some new clothes, stop what you’re doing and click, pronto.

Gonna give the tuna/avocado a shot… With my eyes closed.
The “impending arrival” of the nanny state.
Lol.
Oy vey, I just sigh at that smoking article. Last I checked, every person is entitled to work breaks. If we decide to smoke on those breaks or not should be no one’s concern but our own.
According to http://www.myfitnesspal.com A Dunkin Donuts donut, a fried egg and a piece of bacon is 379 cal/ 31g carbs/ 23g fat/ 11g protein. By comparison, an Egg Mcmuffin (no margarine) has 230 cal/ 29g carbs/ 7g fat/ 15g protein. So it has about 149 more calories with 144 of those coming from fat (+16g x 9 cal per g=144g). In perspective, if one ate 150 cal extra per day, they would gain over one pound (3,500 cal) of fat per month. So it is not good at all.
As long as a grown up understands the risks, doesn’t hurt anyone but themselves and accepts the responsibility for their choices (including the back end financial impact, like increased health care costs), smoke up!
Agreed!
Vegetarians may live longer, but without a nice steak or rack of ribs from time to time… whats the point?
Meat isn’t the problem, balance is the problem. And I have 0 problem with smoking, but it drives me a bit nuts that some of my coworkers take 6 or 7 15 minute breaks every day to smoke (in addition to lunch). Granted if Management is tolerating it, that would seem to be their problem rather than the smokers.
Boo, the video “has been removed by the user”
Me too! Trying it today for lunch at the office. I have a habit of cracking open a tin of sardines or kipper snacks at my desk – so my coworkers should be used to the funk of fish by now. Hope so…

Not sure if it’s the same clip, in its entirety, but cool regardless.
Vegetarians may live marginally longer(and there is some debate on the issue), which may or may not be a blessing, but at what cost?
If they don’t have Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis (broken bones), dementia, cancer, arthritis, deafness, blindness, or erectile dysfunction, and managed to invest well to have enough money to enjoy life… congratulations, they got an extra couple of quality years.
But, how good could a life without meat be?? Bacon? Corned beef? BBQ done right? Thanksgiving Turkey? Prime rib? Nope, they get tofu (which increases estrogen, giving someone man-boobs) and tabbouleh. Meh, to each his own.
OK, I tried it yesterday, and it was jussssssssst fine. Granted I love avocados, so there’s that. In fact, I couldn’t help myself and totally skarfed the other half of the one I cut right down. So, more fat I guess. Ah well. End result was a nice healthy lunch. Thanks, Tim!
