Brownies! Brownies!

Josh — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:44:39 +0000

Something about brownies coming out of the oven just screams “Pour a tall glass of cold milk right now and eat me!”

I bought a box mix to make brownies and it has been sitting in the pantry forever. Tonight I decided to make them for a nice snack after dinner. They turned out great and I had to hide a couple in the back of the cabinet to make sure that I have a couple left to take to work with me tomorrow.

Turkey, Parades and Football

Josh — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:50:57 +0000

Its nice to have a day off from work. Thankfully, I am getting paid for the day, which I get to spend watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and then football.

Then I will feast on a turkey breast, with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a green bean casserole topped with french fried onions.

My dessert choice is pecan pie. I am going to pass on the pumpkin pie this time and push that back to Christmas dinner, instead.

Meatloaf

Josh — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:56:01 +0000

Some days I am at a restaurant and I wish there was meatloaf on the menu. I get tired of the same old steak/chicken/burgers variety. I want meatloaf – like my mom used to make. And mashed potatoes and peas. With apple pie for dessert. I miss my mom’s meatloaf dinners.

Turkey Sandwiches

As much as I like to have turkey for dinner, I like turkey sandwiches even better. We have turkey more than the average family’s annual turkey at Thanksgiving. I bet Cameron buys a frozen turkey at least once a month. Sometimes she buys a whole turkey so I can have hot dark meat for dinner. But most of the time she buys a turkey breast, which is cheaper and faster to cook, and there is enough left over after dinner for sandwiches a few more days.

Frozen Lemonade

One of the best parts of summer is all the exciting beverages that you can make and enjoy. I love frozen lemonade and just about anything with lemon in it, like sweet iced tea with lemon. I was glad to see McDonalds has added a frozen lemonade with strawberries to their menu. I’ll have to give that a taste soon.

The Buzz

Josh — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 18:36:55 +0000

Most days I am happy and perky and looking for happy people to share my day and my outlook. I like the guys I work with – most of the time. Even when times are hard, if you can find happy people you can get through the day easier.

My boss has started calling me the Buzz. At first I thought it was because I like to drink Redbull every morning instead of coffee. But maybe its because I am always very busy an smiling at everyone while I work.

Picking Crabs

Josh — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 22:00:54 +0000

One of my favorite summer past times is sitting on a big screened porch at a picnic table and picking crab meat from a bushel of fresh steamed crabs. One crab is enough to one nice sized crab cake, but if you don’t add the bread crumbs as filler I can probably eat 4 or 5 good sized crabs at one meal. Good eating!

Sweet or Unsweet

Josh — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:01:27 +0000

When we go to restaurants around here, the primary beverage offered is always iced tea. The questions is do you want it sweet or unsweet? I like to oder it unsweet so I can add artifical sweetener to mine and keep the calories down. But every once in a while it is worth a diet splurge to order the tea already sweet. It tastes best that way.

Swine Flu

Josh — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:41:48 +0000

The new problem that has hit the news is the flu. Not only is this a new flu but it is one that has already killed a number of people. The world seems to have gone crazy since the news broke about the swine flu. People have been shown wearing masks around, avoiding shaking hands and physical contact, and taking precautions when it comes to flying or traveling to other countries. The outbreak seems to have occurred in Mexico and has now traveled across the world. It seems weird to have such an epidemic happen in such a short period of time. The good news is it seems to have slown down in the rate at which it is effecting people. We’ll see as the days go by as to how many people this flu will actually hit.

Acai Diet Plan

Josh — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:59:08 +0000

These days there are so many diet plans out there that sometimes it is hard to find the one that will best suit your needs. That’s why I love the internet and sites that allow people who have tried a product or diet tell you exactly how it worked out for them. The Acai Berry Products site is amazing in that the customers who have used it tell you exactly how it made them feel, how much weight they lost, and the pros and cons of the Acai Berry Product. The Acai Burn is my favorite by far. It rids toxins in your body and allows you to gain more energy on a daily basis. Feel free to take a look for yourself at the website.

Chocolate

Josh — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 20:37:56 +0000

Okay I know I’m a guy and all but I have to admit that I love chocolate just as much if not more than my wife. With Easter coming up I have seen numerous ads and websites for chocolate. My favorite one by far is Chocolate Bunnies. Once I got on this site I couldn’t get off. I ended up buying chocolate bunnies for my nieces, a couple of caramel apples for my wife, and a tub of milk chocolate covered pretzels for me. I can’t believe I didn’t know this site existed until now. Take a look for yourself at all the great gifts and easter presents gertrude chocolates have to offer.

Zeolite

Josh — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 04:53:13 +0000

I always try to eat healthy and exercise but sometimes it is just not enough. There were still days where I felt tired or sick or just plain bloated. I tried a detox and felt amazing afterwards. It really helped not only clean out all the immunities in my body, but my whole mental state of mind was sharp as well. The cleanse I used was natural detox. It’s 100% natural and recognized by the FDA as safe. Give it a try for yourself you will not regret it.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Josh — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:28:39 +0000

People have just gone crazy. I just read how a man decided to get his business going in these rough economic times. You wont believe what business he started. He is running a topless coffee shop. Not exactly like your average Starbucks coffee shop, but apparently this coffee shop is doing great. In fact the business is booming during this tough recession. He said that the applications are rolling in from women and men alike. With so many people out of work people are willing to do just about anything to make a buck. More than a buck is probably what you would earn from working here too. One woman claims a man gave her a $100 tip just for bringing him his coffee. Like I said people are crazy!

The Boating Accident

Josh — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 17:42:41 +0000

I can’t help but think about this boating accident that happened in the Gulf of Mexico. One of the four boaters has been found and will recover. Unfortunately the three remaining boaters are somewhere still out in the water. The search for them was called off last night at sundown. So they have been lost at sea for 3 days and I guess that is when the coast guard typically will call off a search since the chances of survival are so narrow after 3 days.

It is such a tragic story for one man to survive this. Three of his closest friends have died and he has to go on and continue living through this. I always try to act like a Christian and think like a Christian, but there are some things in life you just can’t understand.

Going Organic and Gardening

Josh — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 04:15:15 +0000

Over the past couple of weeks I keep hearing people talking about gardening and how it’s time to get back into their gardens. Just the other day at the grocery store the woman in front of me was talking to the cashier about how she is using a new technique this year on her garden by going organic. She said she was talking to her neighbor who did it last year and the amazing results that it accomplished.

Initially she was worried about the cost of using organic supplies. She decided to do some research online and found a site called gardening tips. This site explained how going organic would safe you money in the long run as well as make your vegetables and fruits much healthier to eat. Other products you can purchase on this site include Safer brand organic tomato and vegetable insect killer and Safer brand garden fungicide, RTU. These are just a couple of examples of what this site offers. The information you will find by going to www.saferbrand.com will safe you a lot of time and expense this year on all your gardening needs. Plus you will be helping the environment. Take a look for yourself.
