Loganberry syrup

Two years ago, one of our wedding gifts was a sampler of Buffalo wing sauce and a bottle of loganberry syrup.  We have long since used up the buffalo sauce and have ordered more of the medium (there was a mild, medium and suicidal) - medium seems to be just right and we make wings pretty much every Sunday during football season (we're on our 2nd gallon).  The Loganberry syrup remains unopened, purely because we have no idea what to do with it.  I suppose I could be resourceful and look it up online, but if anyone has any suggestions, I would be more than happy to listen.  Thanks again to Scott and Leah for the gift!!

How to get ride of a canker sore

I'm sure you all have your own remedy for getting rid of canker sores, stop stressing out, rinse with salt water, orajel until your entire mouth is numb. I found a new one today which kind of combines the last two: These salt and vinegar chips will dry up that yucky canker sore AND make you mouth numb! And they taste good! Man, I had a boring day.

Banana rant

This morning I didn't feel like making my own breakfast so I decided to go to a local coffee shop to get a bagel, coffee and juice. I picked out a juice that had Vanilla and Almond in the the name so I thought it sounded good. To my disappointment, the first sip tasted like banana. "What the hell?" I thought. So I looked at the ingredients, and there is was, 5th or 6th, banana puree. Now, I like bananas as much as the next person, in fact, my grandfather swears it's not an apple a day, but a banana a day that keeps the doctor away. My beef with bananas is that they infiltrate everything they are associated with. For example, the juice this morning - if I had wanted a banana drink, I would have gotten a drink with banana in the name. Also, whenever you bring a banana in your lunch and forget to take it out of your lunch box (that's right - I have a lunch box - with my initials on it!), it makes everything else in your lunch box taste like bananas. Now, who really wants banana-flavored brownies?? Not me! I wonder if we can get the FDA to start making manufacturers place a banana warning label on items containing bananas?

Flatbread

Mmmmm. We are getting Flatbread pizza for dinner tonight. It is YUMMY! I love pizza. Pizza pizza pizza. Plus it's the weekend so I don't have to work, work, work. Tomorrow we are headed to the Boston area to have dinner with my In-laws (Weird, they are now my in-laws) since it is my FIL's birthday. I will also attempt to get my lazy ass to the gym since I haven't been in about 3 weeks. - Hey, at least I can watch spring training!!!
