I live on water almonds, and banana chips with the occasional granola bar thrown in. I guess I never consider eating in an airport.

A pinch of cayenne, that's the only extra thing i would add. This is a really good recipe.

Go to a beer hall, eat a pretzel. Eat all the flake pastry stuff you see, and as much pork as you can stomach. I've seen die hard vegans break and eat bacon in Germany.

Here's a photo of the food alphabet embroidery taken by Sam Horine: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lit065do0w1qaa05no1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1306430177&Signature=z6PiYshux4sEyhRcNdqNSvB%2B2C0%3D

Nice photos are necessary.

I prefer when the blog not be filled with cupcake, macaron, whoopie pie and cakecrap on a stick recipes. I also prefer when the blog isn't decorated with pastels, or covered in polka dots, lace, stripes teakettles, or above sweets.

Crazy I wrote about Finnish candy yesterday: http://cantaloupealone.blogspot.com/2011/03/salmiakpastiller.html

I am in love with Kit Kat Chunky from the UK only!

Also there are 6 trillion flavors out there that we can't access. Why can't American's Kit Kat's catch up!!!!

I see that Michigan and Ohio are dominating in the MidWest bracket already, but I'd like to add a shout out for Tony Packo's.

Ribeye.

You can get that bakery thread at most bakeries for like 25 cents for multiple yards. Granted not in all the cute colors.

Grind it up a small amount in a coffee/spice grinder. Try adding it to flour for baking. Or use it to coat chicken/pork/fish/tofu for frying.

More reasons to love stock, it helps your scraps break down better once they hit the compost pile!

My family is full of doctors and nurses. Apples were always considered healthy junk food as they have little nutritional value outside of fiber. Eating this amount of apples a day may give you some unpleasant digestive problems as well.

I am a CSA veggie memeber so I go there to stock up on proteins sometimes (tofu, fish, beans etc) which works out pretty well. Coffee is a pretty good deal there. A few other items are about a dollar or more less too.

I find the chatty staff is actually nosy and sometimes obnoxious. I once had a clerk ask me if I owned a coffee grinder when buying whole beans. I thought it was ridiculous to suggest your customers don't know how to make their own coffee. He next picked on why I would be buying 6 cans of chickpeas. The staff needs to mind their own business. I shouldn't have to explain myself.

And finally beware of pseudo healthy and environmentally friendly products. They have some problems: http://chelseanow.com/articles/2010/08/25/news/doc4c7586c9aff4a967139997.txt
