Spaghetti sauce nonsense

Yesterday I was looking for some cheap spaghetti sauce to fulfill part of the “vegetable” section of my daily food pyramid when I broke out laughing in the grocery aisle.

I could spend $2 on a jar of the “mushroom” variety sauce or splurge and fork over an extra 50 cents for the “fresh mushroom” flavor. Really? Who the heck are they trying to fool? Fresh right out of the jar?!

These are fresh mushrooms. Great pic by Nikki L. on Flickr.

Pshaw! I’ll keep my two quarters thank you very much!

Accepting (the Boulder) reality

Coming back from my run this morning I saw a guy going out for ride not on his bicycle, but on his unicycle.

It wasn't this guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if this guy lives in Boulder. Pic by Martin Vidner.

And he was pretty ripped (although not quite as ripped as Mr. Soltys).

I went over the awesomeness of my being that buff and momentarily contemplated picking up unicycling as a hobby.

But then I realized that that was never, ever going to happen.

Life decisions

Yesterday during a morning date at a local breakfastery that shall remain nameless, Mike realized that he (or perhaps the chef) didn’t know the difference between eggs over easy and eggs over medium.

When his “over medium” order came out too runny for his liking, he decided that from now on he’ll opt for “eggs over really difficult.”

Hard, easy, medium, impossible ... who knows. Pic from SanFranAnnie on Flickr.

We’ll keep you posted on how that works out.
