Nat picked up a box of Clif Kid Organic Zbars at Costco this week and as I cracked it open to give one to the girls, I found what is best described as a 'fake' Clif Kid bar. It was a perfectly sealed wrapper of a bar, but just simply filled with air.
Check out the video:
The girls thought it was awesome. Me? Not so much.
I had to dump the whole box out to figure out if we just got this as a 'bonus' or if we were short one bar. Sure enough...short one bar. They counted this 'air-filled' wrapper as a bar.
Maybe this is a not-so-subtle message that we're eating too many bars? Dropping some calories through ingesting air instead of granola?
Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe. The Tribune reporter called it "prized". We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd. I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs. And they were dirt cheap. The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces. We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage
My father-in-law gifted me this Sears Craftsman 8-function Multimeter for Christmas and I've just gotten around to unboxing it and finding it's permanent home in my shop. I wasn't quite sure what to do with a multimeter (or multi-meter as it is sometimes spelled), but Nat's Dad also sent along with CNET piece that explains all that this tool can do . Here's the list: 1. Test batteries 2. Check extension cords 3. Determine the life of lightbulbs 4. Identify the 'hot' wire 5. Find bad switches So...turns out, it wasn't all bird stuff at Christmas this year, right?!?
