Diet Choke

June 22nd, 2009 by Jason

Mis-labeled 16 ounce Diet Coke

On our road trip this last weekend, I stopped to get drink at a gas station North of Grand Rapids (while Robin puked behind the garbage dumpster – but that’s another story). So while at the cooler I noticed an odd label on one of my favorite drinks, Diet Coke. The Diet Coke plastic bottles normally have the entire Diet Coke logo on them. But at this particular convenient store they stocked Diet Coke mis-prints (see above picture).

Isn’t it summer yet?!?

Panera Bread VS. Starbucks!?!

April 14th, 2009 by Jason

Panera Bread: Caramel Latte  VS. Starbucks: Cinnamon Dolce Latte

So now that I’ve been with Robin for over a year, she’s beginning to rub off on me. Robin’s a huuuuge coffee drinker and I, well I’m not, or rather didn’t ever touch the stuff before Robin. But now she’s got me hooked on lattés.

She mainly got me hooked on Starbuck’s Cinnamon Dolce Latté, and a couple of weekends ago I got myself hooked on Caramel Lattés at Panera Bread, when spending an entire Saturday at two different Panera’s. It was a long day of coding and lattés.

Anyway I’m wondering which is better – Panera Bread lattés or Starbucks?!? I’m leaning towards Starbucks since they don’t tend to burn their lattés as much as Panera, and plus the company started in Seattle. Not that I’m a huge fan of Seattle, actually I’ve never been there but my bestfriend is from there. Wait! maybe I need to try Water Street Coffee since they’re local to Kalamazoo and I’m from Kalamazoo!

Hard Times

March 25th, 2009 by Ira

These are hard times for the state of Michigan, the country and pretty much the entire world. The economy is hitting everyone hard these days from rich to poor, young and old- even Georgia and Ira are feeling the squeeze! Please be aware this blog post contains adult language.

This Week’s Menu: March 1-7

March 7th, 2009 by Jason

This is actually stromboli, keep your mind out of the gutter!
This picture looks pretty dirty, but it was very, very delicious
(Friday’s stromboli).

Sunday: Beef Roast w/ Carrots & Potatoes
Apparently this is our Sunday dish, it’s a very basic recipe, just throw all the ingredients into slow cooker on low and wait a couple of hours.

Monday: Spaghetti
We used ground turkey and added mushrooms but apparently I used the wrong sauce! Darn, my telepathy isn’t working too well this week.

Tuesday: Bacon, cheese, asparagus sandwiches on sourdough
These sandwiches are my new favorite sandwiches, sorry muffeletta.

Wednesday: Hash brown Quiche
This was the best meal of the week and plus it was super easy to make.

Thursday: Chicken Pesto Penne Pasta
Big-shout-outs this week to allrecipes.com this recipe came from there along w/ Friday’s meal.

Friday: Stromboli (with pepperoni, banana peppers & mushrooms)
The recipe is actually is for pepperoni bread. It turned out good taste-wise but looked pretty interesting once we baked it (see the photo above).

Saturday: [out]
The Woods in Grand Rapids, Michigan
