I thought Des Nuts was your nickname in high school. I can't really remember, that was sooo long ago.

Thanks so much for letting me post comments on here.

Til Death Do Us Part,

Salad? Really?

This week, I had lunch with a friend.  Just an everyday lunch, nothing special.  About every 3 weeks or so we decide to have lunch.  It's pretty cool because he works downtown and I normally have a day off during the week.  So when we decide to connect, I have a great early morning.  I get up, take the kids to the bus stop, run some errands and get a ticket on the Light Rail...

Stop.

The Light Rail is a pretty awesome experience for a people watcher.  There are many people to watch on the Light Rail.  Both ends of the spectrum.  There are business professionals and students.  There are rich people and homeless.  There's people who work for the Light Rail and people who bring on their bike for no apparent reason.  Totally worth watching.

Hold on.

I meet up with my friend and we try to determine a place to eat.  Look, the Tilted Kilt is cool - unless you eat there 8 times a year and once in a while you get the pregnant server (not that there is anything wrong with that).  We decide on Earl's - an upscale grill in LoDo.

Wait for it...

Menus come (that's what she said).  We order.  Both of us order SALADS as the side instead of fries.  Salad? Really?

Here it comes...(do I need to say it again?)

Right, salad.  The salad was awesome.  In fact, it was better than the sandwich I had.  My friend even said, and I quote, "If salads at home tasted this good, I would eat it at every meal."  He also said, "This salad is about 1000 calories, I'm sure."

My friend, I say, "Yay," and "Nay!" to your thoughts.  The great salad that we had was not only easy to make and good for you - it was also way below 1000 calories...Below is my recipe for the Earl's Mixed Field Greens Salad with an Apple Cider Vinaigrette:

4 cups of Dole Spring Mix (40)
2 tbsp. of diced or julienned Granny Smith apples (25)
2 tbsp. of feta cheese (60)
2 tbsp. of candied walnuts (95)
2 tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinaigrette (98)

Mix to combine and enjoy.  I guarantee this 318 calorie salad will be something you enjoy.  In fact, you might even be able to run 40 minutes on the treadmill for 'free' calories...

Now that you have read this post, I recommend that you 'right click open in new tab' on all of the links...

Good Luck.

RIP - The Office...

OK.  The Office was funny.  I couldn't wait to watch the next episode - back in the day.  In fact, I actually felt that Michael Scott and I had a cosmic connection.  He was a sad, lonely manager and the coolest place he was - was at work.  (The connection was that we were managers AND cool - that was it.  I promise.  Sad and lonely had nothing to do with it...)

Anyway, along with John Wooden and Ronnie James Dio - The Office is dead.  It just isn't funny anymore.  I try, really I try.  I still watch every episode - hoping, PRAYING, for something to make me laugh out loud. Seriously, I'm not expecting "Eddie Murphy - Delirious" laugh out loud funny; just "Steve Martin - Comedy is not Pretty" funny.  I can't get it - no matter how hard I try.

You know what's funny?  Modern Family.  It's funny.  I tried not to like it because PPYSM likes it, but it's funny.  You know what else is funny?  Shit My Dad Says is funny.  The William Shatner sitcom.  It makes me laugh out loud.

Not Eddie Murphy out loud, just Steve Martin out loud.

Hello?

Look.  I know it has been 10 days since my last blog post.  I have been through a lot lately.

Looks like I need a new roof. ' Aww..,' you might say. .. Hey, do you own a house?  If you don't - then, "C your C."  Don't know what that means?  I dare you to ask me in the comments.  Since Kilzer is the only one that even knows that I blog (because I text him) - I doubt anyone will ask what CyC is.

Look, just my deductible is a grand.  Do you have an extra $1,000 lying (should it be laying? [my mom is a dead English teacher, I should know - right?]) around?  No, of course not. 

Whatever.  My life, now after Party City, isn't so bad. 

At least I don't live at the corner of KITCHEN ("Pretty groovy thanks, and yourself")DICK and WOODCOCK.

Attention C to the A to the M, it only took me 7 minutes to post.

Good night, Bob.

Big Bob Guccione, founder of Penthouse in the mid 60s, died today.  He made a bunch of money selling skin.  Albeit none from the male cameltoe - god know what that is.

Sleep well, Bob.  Many teenage boys, in the 80's, appreciated all of your hard work.

Screw Hefner.  You do good job.

Really?

Just watched 'Atomic Tom' on YouTube.  You might have too - if you are interested in alternative music. 

Here's my problem.  This can't be hard.  I know that 13lack IB can do this type of viral marketing.  It is possible.  It might have a little investment - we need at least 6 iphones and 4 hand held cams - but it can be done. Oh, we will need an airline ticket from Hawaii to Denver...

Anyway, I think that the first RTD single should be 'Spider, please.'

BTW - wouldn't you have stolen their iphones AND their instruments?

Many, many things of import

It has been a while since I have posted anything important.  Today, I will throw some instant thoughts...

Bought Iron Man 2 today. On blu-ray.  Of course.  Watched it - twice.  Great movie.  Can't wait for Cowboys and Aliens.  Or Thor, for that matter.

Quit Party City today.  Pretty big deal.  Worked too many hours, it was crazy.  Thought it was cool...until they 'missed' my payday - today.  Assholes.

Had Christian's second 'secret' football practice today.  'Secret' means adults bring beer to the park.  I have no idea what they mean.

From what I hear, the weather in Mobe was great this week.  Some folks had an opportunity to see the Delicate Arch from some pretty unique angles.

Chiefs are 3-0 going into their bye week.  They have two weeks to get ready for the Larry Bird led Colts.  The only thing I know is that they won't lose this Sunday...Sorry Bronco fans.  I really think that you need to beat the Titans to salvage your season.

Ate lunch today at The Tilted Kilt.  Thanks Mike Bliss.  The steak sandwich was OK, but the view was - how should I say - full.

Still working on the hummus recipe.  I am having a problem because I don't have a food processor - only a 'blend stick.'  Pretty sure that the food processor is an important part of the process - pardon the pun.

Had a mouse in the house (that's what she said!).  Sarah made me put one of those 'let the mouse go in and eat the peanut butter and the you can slide the top off and let the mouse out' traps.  In fact, put out two.  Oops, forgot to check them frequently.  Mousemummy located in the trap behind the art cart.  Note to self, check 'humane' mouse traps more frequently.

I only have about three times a year to impress Kilzer with some unedited Howard Stern.  Thanks Howard for missing the mark - again.

More soon.
